Only an exhibition but Penn St looks like they are going to struggle this year

Yeah…I agree.  Not very talented.  JMHO

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Illinois smacking Illinois state at half in exhibition 

 

Washington taking care of UNLV at the half. 
 

both will be top half teams imo. Washington might be a dark horse team.

Wouldn't mind if we dropped a dozen or so triples on PSU and stuffed them in a trash can this year. One of my biggest pet peeves with this program in recent memory has been letting un-talented PSU teams push us around, get chippy with us, hang around and even beat us.

Like Rutgers...

Wow.

Matthew Graves -- Indiana State coach -- needs triple bypass surgery. Taking a leave. 

Prayers to him.

Woah. Get well soon, Coach

[Hovadipo]

On a basketball level, I'm glad the Trees have an assistant with head coaching experience to lead the group. I'm guessing Graves will be laid up for a long time, but I have no idea what that recovery is like. Really scary situation there.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. They can bet on professional sports, but they still cannot bet or share competition information on college sports with bettors. It's a slippery slope.

Bad idea. I see the SEC just suspended a ref in football. I wouldn’t be shocked if they weren’t at least investigating a gambling angle there.  
 

The widespread legalization and integration by the leagues of gambling has created a situation where it has permeated every facet of sports. It’s nearly statistically impossible that you haven’t watched a game where a player or official were compromised. They should be looking to draw more distinct boundaries, not loosen them.

Just look what is happening in the NBA today with all the arrest about gambling

I didn't realize #1 (gag) Purdue played at #9 (retch) UK tomorrow! Although it might make me physically ill, I may listen to it to get a feel for both teams

Ha, yea.

When my two most disliked programs play, which is rare, I usually prefer UK because a win means less to them given they’ve had more overall success.  If PU beats them they will be extra giddy which is no good.
