If you’re attending a game at the United Airlines Coliseum and a late-arriving high-roller wants your seat will you be beat up and dragged out of the stadium?

Nice.  I don’t pay a lot of attn to NBA standings esp in January, so it was a good surprise to see the Ute-laden Raptors in 2nd place in the NBA East.  Actually 5 games ahead of the LeBrons.

Staying for degree and/or Heisman?

Would be good to have another Heisman Trophy in the Pac-12

Great way to raise revenue for the league: Crappy officiating -> complaints by ADs -> fines
To quote the great Billy Tubbs, “Don’t throw anything on the court, no matter how bad the officiating is.”
