@4LocalKidsSport Both can be true as with financial aid couched in many cases as something else that in reality is an athletic scholarship. I don’t see this as a complete black and white issue.

@sarah____kent Worth the slight chill 😜

@rtpcfo @THuskerne7 Agree-would it really be a bad choice??

The Athletic: Adam Fantilli finishes a dazzling play less than a minute into overtime to give #CBJ a much-needed 2-1 OT win over #VGK.
Power play snaps 0-for-22 slump w Fantilli’s goal, while Cam Talbot makes 26 saves in Nationwide

What has parity has wrought, Week 8 edition ,,,
--Kentucky, after 8 weeks, leads the SEC after beating Vandy.
--There are 3 undefeateds— one of them UCLA is the only undefeated team among the Power 2. Miami and ... Utah are the others.
--That mushroom cloud you see over Eugene is Oregon being knocked out of the national picture by Illinois. The preseason no 1 in some quarters is now 4-3.
--New Mexico has the nation's no 1 scoring defense after beating North Dakota St 21-13. The Lobos lead the Mountain West and are in the thick of the g6 playoff berth chase. Ticket manager/coach Jason Eck, a hot coaching property, and his Lobos played before the largest unm crowd in 21 years.
--No 25 Arizona controls its own destiny in the Big 12 and, consequently, for a playoff berth.
--Per CBS Sports, the last time FBS had 3 or fewer undefeated teams by OCT 24 was 1977 -- the year before FBS was created.
--Wake Forest is 6-1 having won four Power Four games on the road.

#CBJ win 2-1 in overtime over Vegas. Adam Fantilli notches his 7th career GWG and 3rd career OT goal in the victory.

Cam Talbot turned aside 26 shots and Kent Johnson with assists on both Jackets goals in the win.

[Mark Scheig @mark_scheig]

Adam Fantilli PPG.

#CBJ wins 2-1.

[Columbus Blue Jackets @BlueJacketsNHL]

FRAME IT

[Aaron Portzline @Aportzline]

#CBJ win 2-1 in OT. Fantilli a one-timer from the right circle.

Power play goal snaps an 0-for-22 with a man-advantage.

[Dylan Tyrer @DylanTyrer]

Just a tremendous play by Kent Johnson to get this puck to Charlie Coyle. Fantilli's shot finds that back of the net at 77.7 MPH to win it.

None of this happens without Cam Talbot, who was awesome all night to get this game to overtime. #CBJ

[B. David Ridpath @drridpath]

When was our last shot on goal??? #CBJ

[Matt Barnes @Matt_NBC4]

Little close for comfort but OHIO WINS! Bobcats move to 6-2, 4-0 in MAC, bowl-eligible once again and extend the nation’s longest home winning streak. #OUOhYeah

@MensHumor Go team Red!!

[B. David Ridpath @drridpath]

@bmarcello They had every chance to win. What an awful offense

[B. David Ridpath @drridpath]

At this point Michigan should give Fowler Nicholosi a shot at QB. Can’t be worse.

To give people an idea how long these cases last before the actual trial, last night the attorneys in Patterson (athletes v. NCAA/P4 conf) submitted a briefing schedule for discovery and a proposed trial date. That trial date…not expected until February 2029 (yes, ‘29).
