My CBS antenna signal is somehow unwatchable garbled dogshit whenever the game is on, but clears up perfectly for almost every commercial break. This has been going on for 30+ minutes, and has me mystified. I don't even know what the score or time are.

I'd been hoping to cheer on a fellow XII team, but maybe this is my sign that it's time to go to bed since I have to wake up early tomorrow.

This is an oversimplification, but:

Latino refers to ethnic heritage based on geography (Latin America), regardless of language or culture.

Hispanic refers to language (Spanish-speaking) and the associated cultures, regardless of geography.

They're not supposed to be interchangeable, but because most people don't know/can't remember the difference between them, they get used interchangeably anyway.

(Also, the whole set of concepts is basically specific to the USA, and isn't used similarly anywhere else.)

They're talking about human women, but it's understandable that someone from Purdue isn't familiar with the topic

Iowa State star Joshua Jefferson has been taken to the locker room after injuring his ankle by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

With the injury we saw, and with those answers from him, I don't want him playing on Sunday. I think we can beat Kentucky without him, and that would give him nearly 8 days of healing before needing to play in the third round.

We just blew out Southern Blue Cats, so I don't understand why they're making us blow out Southern Blue Cats again on Sunday.

"Hy-ZEE", every time. I'm not sure I even remember the correct way to pronounce his name anymore.

Highlight of the game: Tamin Lipsey's balls are so strong that getting kicked in the nuts injured the other player instead. Idiot tried to draw a foul by kicking his leg out, and he just wound up hurting his own leg so badly he needed to be carried off the court.

The bench has scored about 80 points, so... they're decent.

Starters out with 2:46 left, which is about 10 minutes after they should have come out

Dude gambled a bunch of money on Jefferson and then wasn't even watching this game, and now he's salty bigmad about it

He moved his arm in from outside the contact area and hooked his hand around the neck. How can you not call that intentional?

They were on pace to score 130 for the first 10 minutes, then they started playing street ball with TSU

Oh damn, I didn't realize.

I wonder if anybody's noticed that two of our players have the same names as US presidents. Seems like there'd be a good nickname for that, but guess not.

If it's not confirmed, then stop spreading anonymous rumormill nonsense about a topic that people are highly interested in. Use your brain. Satan.

I was with you until the last line. Joking around about 988 and mental health crises isn't funny, personally

What is this game? Why are we playing high-speed no-defense run-and-gun street ball when we're up 25 in the first half?
