cowboys better be careful

[Sparko]

Clock operator screwed their own team as OSU did not control the rebound until exactly 30-seconds.

[sdoyel]

Bryce Thompson still can’t shoot.

[Jayhawkerr]

Cowboys were terrible on offense in crunch time.

[nu_bronco]

Cowboys were terrible on offense in crunch time.

Add that to the first 4 minutes of the game.

the children keeping on top of their academics is my favorite.

[PhDhawk]

Yeah, you seem to be a real champion of education and academia.

[KUTradition]

who, in their right mind, refers to 18-25 year olds as children?

wtf

Is...is "the children keeping on top of their academics"...is that, as a concept, a singular noun? I'm ordinarily not interested in grammar smack, but in a post about staying on top of one's academics, I think it's fair game.

[Cascadia]

mich has a third grade education

[pdub]

I believe what he's using is a gerund so he is using it correctly here.
However, if he said, the children, who are keeping on top of their athletics, is my favorite - that would be wrong.

ESPN BPI has Baylor with a 69% (nice) chance to win?

We really looking to be a 3-5 point dog considering Baylor's injuries?

Didn’t Dajuan have to sit out a year to become academically eligible, too?

[MICHHAWK]

69% means they are likely going to win. and that we are likely going to lose. seems about right.

[CrimsonNBlue]

BPI had KU a 68% chance to beat West Virginia. Spread was KU -5.

If spread comes in at Baylor -5, have to like the Hawks for the cover.

Bet on it, straight up? $25 donation to the charity of the winner's choice?

You're going to want to use a burner email if we lose and you have to give money to a MICH charity.

Yep, that one surprised me, good for him. Might not get all six years from him after all (unless he wants to play a couple more years after graduating like Mitch and JCL)
