I'm a self proclaimed "nerd" when it comes to sports trivia about schools and nicknames.............

But HTF is East-West???

Maybe my brain is just not working, but... what does the H stand for?

News is circulating online that former Kentucky player, current Ohio State player, Aaron Bradshaw is being investigated by the FBI as part of a widespread point shaving scandal in college basketball. Not good for the sport, especially after Temple was just announced to being investigated by the FBI as well.

It was simply a matter of time.

Yep. I’ve never been a fan of legalizing sports gambling. I think it’s one of the few things that can actually impact the integrity of the sport. I fully believe we’re going to look back 10 years from now and see how the accessibility of online sports gambling through mobile apps is probably going to lead to a mental health and addiction crisis in the U.S. We won’t be able to judge for awhile, but I have so many friends I know first hand gambling on games every weekend. Some of them are able to do it healthily, some I worry about.

Like most vices, it's always been available to those who really sought it out. But like most vices, making it readily available, legal, and socially acceptable, it will lead to destruction for some who'd have never likely been exposed to it if it were never made so easily accessible.

And some can handle it. There are people that drink everyday and manage to stop at 1 or 2 drinks.

Gambling is the least of your vices...lol

I stop if one of my bet losses then I’ll take the rest of the night off and the next day.

I only place two bets daily. A long shot and an easier one.

Random Poster: “We need to recruit another shooter like Knecht”

Me: “That’s an absurd thing to say. Knecht is a once in lifetime shooter”

Rick Barnes: *Recruits Chaz Lanier*

 

[Creeker]

Lanier is insane lol

Just noticed Creighton losing to Nebraska. Didn’t expect that lol

Vols pass Duke on KP, up to #4. Offense up to #10 and defense still at #1, both ratings improved tonight.

Man, I hope we keep seeing Dubar contributing. He’s a good energy guy who can rebound. Whatever personal issues he had to deal with hope they’re behind him.

Also LOVE how good Cade Phillips is playing.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Fantastic win. Hell of a first half. Second half, a little rough, but it gives Barnes something to teach this week. Baylor was also allowed to basically mug us, so that probably contributed to some of the sloppy play.

Honestly, perfect start to the year. Not only because we’re 6-0 but how we’ve played. Time to get ready for Syracuse.

Don't forget about UT-Martin

 

[TrippieRedd]

Seems like most of the SEC teams are playing well, granted it’s early but 9 undefeated teams and 6 one loss teams.

Should be a very competitive league.

UT Martin game is at 3 o clock (central) on a work day

Lots of day games during Thanksgiving week. One of the reasons I normally take the whole week off.

We're only going to see more of this given the ever increasing amount of online betting.

We’ll be the judge of that!

Been kinda MIA on here to start the season. Just got to watch the Baylor game this am. What a great start. 6 games in and we’re playing elite team ball on both sides. Chaz has been great, but we have 4 guys that could go out and get you 20 on any given night. Toss in there the injuries we’ve battled and it’s scary to think how good this team could be by March. Keep building and stay healthy!
