They probably feel like they returned to a real-life Stephen King novel.

A tie with the Titans probably won't favor the Colts. The Titans will have the better division record unless they lose to the Texans. The next tiebreaker is AFC record. I don't think that would favor the Colts since all of their losses are against AFC teams.

I hope the selection committee makes them regret this in March, and I don't mean actually having to leave the state of North Carolina for their first round game.

Are people hoarding pop now? Every time I'm at the store, I see people lining the outside of their carts with bottles of Mountain Dew and Pepsi. The other day, I saw a lady with six 12-packs of Pepsi piled up in her cart. There are signs asking people to take no more than 2 products, yet entire shelves are sitting empty. Today, I couldn't find a single bottle of Mountain Dew anywhere. Not even in the refrigerators that are set up near the checkout lanes.

That game reminded me of an IU game in the Mike Davis years. Dominate the first half, then score about 20 points in the second half and watch it improbably slip away. Purdue's only remaining non-conference games are Notre Dame and a home game with Indiana State. It's hard for me to see this team finishing above .500 in conference, but I'm sure Kenpom and the NET rankings will have their back like usual.

Purdue was up 18 at the half and lost by 4...to a team that had 3 scholarship guards available. If Archie Miller still can't beat that team this year, he should resign. Good lord, that was pitiful.

Anyone else remember Calipari saying, years ago, that he couldn't see himself coaching at UK for more than 10 seasons, because of how stressful it was? He's in year 12.

Good point, forgot about that Evansville game. Maybe they just shouldn't play at all. Too traumatizing for those poor freshmen.

These neutral site games don't seem to be going too well for UK. Maybe they should just play everybody at home. Clearly these empty NBA arenas are intimidating their young players and damaging their confidence.

This reminded me of a funny story involving a high school game I saw a few years ago. During the JV game, a coach kept nagging the officials that the other team's starting center wasn't leaving the lane. At first, he kept it simple, saying "still there...been awhile." Then, it became, "still in there...four, five, six..." until he finally lost it and screamed "HE'S CAMPING IN THERE!!!" The refs finally called it after he'd been in the paint for an entire possession that lasted about seven or eight passes. lol

In my best Willy Wonka voice: "WRONG, sir, WRONG." It does NOT suck when Wisconsin loses like that, ever.

At least you're not blaming the officials (yet) or someone else being injured...

If anyone wants some quality Friday night entertainment, Purdue is struggling at home with Valparaiso.

They've won 2 national titles since then, but who cares about those.

Perception. That's what a lot of preseason rankings are based on. Our national perception stinks right now. Of course, that can always change.

I wish people understood that a county going from level red to level orange doesn't mean "back to normal." I went to a basketball game tonight that was fairly well-attended, in a county that was red last week and is orange now. Probably 75% of the fans weren't wearing masks.

But...but...but...injuries! And Clemson is kinda sorta good!

Clemson is picked to finish 10th in the ACC. If we lost to that team, the fire Archie Miller threads would be up and running today.

Purdue basketball: 1-1* Purdue football: 2-2** *--Injuries **--Pass interference call that made impartial observers come to GBI to post about it

Purdue likes to foul when games are out of reach.

As usual, no shortage of excuses when Purdue is losing, regardless of sport.

It's funny how they all seem to gain an inch after joining Purdue's roster.

Honestly it's not looking good for my grandma, but she's in her late 90's and her quality of life has been suboptimal for the last few years, so when her time comes, it may be a blessing. I'm more concerned about my aunt, who has otherwise been in good health, but spent the last two days visiting my grandma in the hospital, feeding her, handling her dentures, and f*cking singing songs with her, basically everything you would NOT want to do around someone who has Covid, she did. In my lifetime, I've lost four relatives/family members in the last week of December. I have a feeling my grandma will be #5. This is why I don't look forward to the holidays anymore.

My grandma is in the hospital and just tested positive for Covid. My aunt has been in close contact with her for the last several days and can't come for Thanksgiving now. F*ck Covid.

Just realized the playoff format changed. I'm really tuned out anymore when it comes to the NFL.
