Her medical report showed a concussion, bruised ribs, fractured nose among other things.Reportedly choked her till she fell unconscious.

I still don't get it.

I dated a lot of girls before I finally met my wife, and in no case, nor at any time, have I ever felt the urge to hit any of them.

I had a couple old girlfriends who flat-out, ripped my heart from my chest in the way they broke up with me, but never, ever did I feel a desire to hit them. Never. I've never approached that level of anger toward a woman.

I've been married to my first wife for 48 years. I can honestly say, I've never, ever felt an urge to hit her. Never. And I can firmly state that I'll never approach that level of anger.

But yet there are guys out there who seem to think its fine to knock a woman around.

Purdue handled Gonzaga late last night/ early morning. I watched the 1st half and went to bed because it was too late.

Unranked to start the season. Despite losing several productive players… including the amazing Jaden Ivey… Purdue might have struck gold with its recent recruiting classes. Including a diamond in the rough in 3 star true freshman Braden Smith. He sure does look like an underrated recruit as Indiana Mr. Basketball. Matt Painter has his gaffes in March, but he can sure recruit and develop.

Sets up a huge matchup vs Duke on Sunday. Then Florida State next… which led me to realize holy shit, Florida State is randomly terrible this season. Florida State, Louisville, and Villanova?! Ouch. What happened…

The ACC has done a deal with the SEC and ESPN for an annual basketball challenge starting next season. This year's ACC-Big Ten challenge will be the last.

This is a bummer and apparently is a consequence of the latest tv deal.

Best option for a future comparable event is with the Big12. We already have a sort-of "challenge" with the Big East but it's spread out over a week and receives little fanfare

[AlabamAlum]

The SEC does a BigXII challenge now. I hope we keep both but probably won’t be able to.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Curious what happened in the Indiana-Rutgers game. Were the Hoosiers just tired after beating UNC late Wednesday? Or is Rutgers actually decent?

[Dr. Strangelove]
