shhh....please, commenters, don’t spoil this article for me. I’m going to catch it later on NBC as it’s intended.

Thank you for following up on this. It’s too easy just to ignore the situation after the games themselves happen relatively hitch-free and forget that it’s still a big fucking mess.

You Know how there’s the “NONONONO.....YES!” shot in basketball? I feel like Dabo’s clock management was the same way, burning precious seconds on the final drive that had me convinced they would only get 3, so of course, they score with one tick left. Just as he drew it up, everyone will say.

I could watch Nick Saban angrily talking to himself all day.

Steve Sarkisian got four touchdowns out of Alabama tonight, but like so many other nights he needed a fifth.

I’m getting the sense you didn’t actually know the specifics of the rules, and now that your original post isn’t holding up you’re just being defensive.

Defenseless, according to NCAA rules: “A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.” It may look clearer in slo-mo than at game speed but that seems to me to be exactly what was happening here.

“What’s attendance mean?”

Well, Bob, I wouldn’t say he’s MISSING the Knicks game.

This Terps fan is annoyed that you forgot Maryland, and resignedly not surprised you forgot Maryland.

I’m trying so hard to figure out which U of M you’re referring to.

ESPN reported that he was medically cleared to return

The NCAA definition of targeting:

I’m really worried this boat trip is going to be a big distraction for him heading into his playoff game. A bunch of reporters should ask him about it repeatedly.

You’re the best Deadspinner, Chris Kluwe, and we all hope you know that.

Fuck Joey Porter. He’s an asshole and I hope he gets his balls gnawed off by weasels.

He was probably just trying to attend to an injured customer.

From the sound of this piece, it sounds like Emma actually had to sit down and watch this dumpster fire.

All the more reason he deserves MVP cred. An mvp’s team should be debilitated without him.

That was a terrible game and yet somehow still significantly better than what I was expecting.
