The Iowa St.-Oklahoma & Creighton-Villanova endings (let's not forget Rams-Saints debacle) also shows how laughable it was for the NCAA & pro sports leagues to attempt to charge sports books an "integrity fee" when they can't even have their games officiated competently

Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller is being applauded (and rightly so), but we’re being remiss if not giving credit to Katie Hnida, who played for New Mexico (a Division I school, but being dismissed today since not “Power 5”) in 2002 Las Vegas Bowl and actually scored in 2003

I understand (and agree) with the disgust over
#NFL
officiating, but please leave the "Vegas" narrative out of it: books don't fix games and don't "put in calls to the NFL or the refs"...the last thing they want is fixed games or even controversial results
Enjoying daddy/daughter time with Jordyn at UNLV football game vs. Fresno St. (UNLV trails 17-0 at halftime, though Jordyn, an all-state oboe player, is more interested in scouting the UNLV marching band as she’s a junior in high school)

FYI: If I was holding a paper ticket on Oklahoma plus the points, I would cash it ASAP (and those holding tickets on Iowa State shouldn't rip them up!); bettors with wagers online/phone apps/etc. don't have that option and are at the mercy of what Big 12 decides to do (or not do)
