Team scores????
I don’t care whether there was a petition with a thousand signatures. The beauty of message boards is that you can create separate threads for disparate topics. In this case, I was in a thread about wrestling and at no point was there an indication that scores of the basketball game would be included in this thread. Nobody died... I’m still going to watch the game, but there just isn’t any reasonable excuse for doing this.
Did you happen to notice a thread titled "Hoops wins vs. tOSU?" In it, we discussed hoops, hockey and Saquon Barkley. Or how about one regarding the departure of a certain wrestler last summer? That on included info on vacationing in Iceland. Expecting this board to keep your idea of unwritten message board rules is simply unrealistic.I don’t care whether there was a petition with a thousand signatures.

step away from the keyboardYeah, stay of sites with random news feeds, but when on a message board you have the ability to pick which threads to view. I wouldn’t open threads mentioning Chambers or anything basketball related, because you should expect for comments about the outcome. Heck, when people, including me, post about the latest movies or TV show episodes, we use the term spoiler alert to warn people that haven’t seen the movie or tv show.
Lee looked flat. I'll give Carr credit. I saw his match against Chad Red earlier this year and it was similar. Carr did what Red normally does and got to his legs first. Kind of like in boxing, an agressive fighter can be slowed by being first. Nick should never choose down again this season. He needs to do better from the bottom, but when given the choice, he should go neutral every time.
Nick is very good, but if a wrestler can neutralize his attacks and keep him from getting to the single leg, Nick can look ordinary at times. Fortunately that's not too often, but Nick needs to find a way in those situations to win a different way.
You were supposed to use that white font for that. Oh, well.Plus, the final score was never posted, PSU could have come back.
SPOILER ALERT
They didn’t
Gotta love Cael....cool and calm.
11. Rutgers: 37
Team scores????

Iowa could end the season without a Big Ten champ.
Read that again and let it sink in.
1-3 in semis, and two of their favorite kids get stacked.
Meanwhile, Tan Tom has 7 in the finals and Michigan looks strong.
HR should stop worrying about Bael, Carl, Slush Funds and rich uncles — and start looking at themselves in the mirror.

While I agree with @Tom McAndrew point about @Ranger Dan going overboard, I do agree with @Ranger Dan that scores should be placed in a separate thread so it doesn't ruin the fun for those that relish watching the complete game.Hey, some of us have DVR’d the basketball game and are trying to watch later... posting a result or score randomly in another thread is a completely bush league move.
I believe tOSU by 8.5Someone smarter and more sober please tell me who wins given this minus bonus
Tomato 1st Kuhn done
Keener 7th Pletcher who can't find Carton still gets 2nd
McKenna 1st Lee 3rd
Zain 1st Hayes 4th
Nolf done Jordan 2nd
Cenzo 2nd Campbell done
Hall 1st Jordan 3rd
Nickal 1st Martin 2nd
Shakur 1st Moore 2nd
Snyder 1st Nevills 3rd
Funny, haven't seen the usual Hawk fans over here today. Must be busy calling compliance offices.

By placing the score in a separate thread clearly identified as "Purdue vs PSU basketball game updates, you become helpful as opposed to being a spoiler prick.
Do you need a rulebook for common sense courtesy?Perhaps we need a BWI posting rulebook....I certainly don't want to be a prick

Disagree. Stay off social media if you want to be in a bubble. I stay off 100% when a new Star Wars movie comes out, until I go to see it.Hey, some of us have DVR’d the basketball game and are trying to watch later... posting a result or score randomly in another thread is a completely bush league move.

No. What I’m saying is not having someone “spoil” an event for me is important to me...not to you or anyone else here. That being the case, I’m not going to be dumb enough (for the millionth time in my life) to trust that no one is gonna spoil a result. It’s just how I’ve trained myself to think because I’ve been burned so many times in the past. Shit, I even tell myself people get off on “spoiling” events for others just so I don’t slip up and trust that it’s not going to happen this time...So, as I understand the logic here, if we are recording another PSU event for later viewing, and don’t want to know the result, it is our responsibility to avoid participating in this message board conversation during the wrestling event for fear of spoilers
Seems kind of unwelcoming.
