QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 08:54 AM) I think a packed stadium in Lincoln should get the credit for that call. If they were in East Lansing or there were 25k in the crowd, I bet they call it differently. Agreed. MSU still shouldn't have let a sub par offense drive down the field that quickly and easily anyway.

My favorite part of that post is the expert that was asked was the former ACC coordinator of officials. So you asked the guy who ran the absolute worst group of officials on the planet. Nice.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 11:40 PM) From the article I read, there was ONE racist incident on campus (two if you count the poop swastika) that didn't go punished, possibly because they have no idea who did it. But they want the president to apologize on behalf of the white student I guess? Or apologize for not doing something about it incident, to which again, I don't even know if they identified the students other than being white. Why are the football players excluding their other teammates?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) So can any Missouri fans/students/graduates fill us in on why a number of their black athletes are saying they won't play until the university's president is fired? Isn't what they are doing kind of racist?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) What a bulls*** way for MSU to lose their undefeated season. They aren't that great but that is hores***. That official shouldn't have a job on Monday as that is just an inexcusable call to miss and it wasn't even a difficult judgment call. Replay rules are just stupid. Replay should exist to get the call right. There shouldn't be restrictions on what they can change.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) I'm sure their reason for not suspending or trading Kane is that they were privy to information that we were not and knew what the outcome was likely to be. Most likely they heard his side of the story and believed him, which is probably a pretty decent leap of faith there.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) She may have felt sexually violated. I'm not sure. All I'm saying is, backlash against these kinds of accusers are generally frowned upon, because most cases like these (rape) go unreported. Sure, I understand being sensitive to someone who genuinely felt threatened or violated. But all evidence points to Kane not being involved in that situation which is what is hard here.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) Right, but someone who is not credible is not necessarily malicious. What would be her motivation to make up that story then?

2015-16 NHL thread
QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Can you prove that she knowingly and maliciously lied? Can you prove that her version of the story was not a result of her mental state? Until you can, Kane isn't the victim. All evidence points to her lying but no, nobody can prove that because it was her word against everyone else including scientific evidence. All we know from what happened is Kane wasnt involved in any physical contact with her and she claimed he raped her. Men who are falsely accused never get called a victim of the process for some reason.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) Don't confuse "not being charged" with "being the victim". In cases of sexual assault, the tables don't turn like that. If that girl did feel threatened, she was still the victim. Unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the plaintiff knowingly and maliciously lied about her situation, you cannot call Patrick Kane the victim. Her account is directly contradicted by her friend as well as several other witnesses as well as DNA evidence. As a last ditch effort her mother fraudulently tried to set up the police dept as the fall guy. How many other things need to happen to point to this being an outright lie?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) "here" being the key word. But again, he put himself into position to embarrass his employer on national television AGAIN. Pretending this is the only incident is disingenuous at best. I don't buy into the frat boy mentality of boys being boys when it passes the line and repeatedly becomes national news. Even if you are totally right and this was a pure set up from the very beginning, it doesn't excuse the other incidents, and the fact that this has been a pattern of behavior for Patrick Kane to put himself into stupid situations. Specifically what did he do to put himself in this situation? All we know is he went out (we do not know if he was drunk), he had a driver take him, his friends and two girls back to his house. One girl claimed he had sex with her, her friend and actual DNA testing both contradict her account. There are more than one witness that contradict her claims as well as hard evidence. So based on those pieces of facts that we have, your stance is he should never leave his house or have people over otherwise he is putting himself in a position to embarrass his employer?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) Now that is funny. I know it is because all accounts here point to Kane as the victim, I'm still waiting on the evidence you had that suggested that there was "something there".

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) He had a great 2-way game. Terrific defense and efficient offense. Noah was fantastic too. The only bad thing for us this game was Mirotic. 2 points in 15 minutes. Niko wasnt terrible but definitely wasnt as aggressive as he should be. He was getting killed on defense initially and then disappeared
