NFL: ***Official Week Ten Thread***

Chargers @ Raiders tonight. With a win tonight and a Chiefs loss on Sunday the Raiders would be one game back in the AFC West with back to back games against the Bengals and Jets coming up. Gruden has been much better than I thought he'd be. He's still kind of a clown but the Raiders are competitive and there's some good young talent on the roster.

Lions @ Bears - Loser falls to the bottom of the NFC North and probably stays there. The Bears are running out of time if they're going to make a run.

Bills @ Browns - Is Buffalo for real? Can Baker and the Browns turn the season around?

Chiefs @ Titans - Grab bag game for KC. You never know what you're going to get out of Tennessee.

Vikes @ Cowboys - The dreaded prime time slot for Kirk Cousins.

Seahawks @ Niners - Really good Monday nighter for a change. SF has looked awesome but they've played a really weak schedule, too.

Something to watch for here. If AB meets with the NFL and we get a better idea of whether or not he'll be able to play there will be a handful of interested teams. He's the last impact player out there in free agency. If it looks like he'll be allowed to play I would think the Eagles will make a hard run at him after losing DeSean Jackson for the season. They're in bad need of a big play WR who can take the top off a defense.

Got student tickets for Iowa...when to arrive?

I bought a couple student tickets to the ISU/Iowa basketball game on the Ticket Exchange Facebook group. Never done that before. Decided to message Athletics to see if I needed a student ID at the door. They said they oversell the student tickets and have turned some people away for Iowa games in the past.

We are driving from 2 hours away, trying to determine - when do we need to arrive so we're sure to get into the game?

WBB: Preview of Southern University

20-12 last year. SWAC conference (includes Grambling State, Ark-Pine Bluff, Alcorn State...). 152 RPI at the end of the season.

They have yet to play a game this season, so there's not much to go on. They were voted the preseason favorite to win the conference. They won their conference last year and were rewarded with a 16 seed, losing 103-46 to Mississippi State.

Last year they had a very deep rotation. Nobody averaged 30 mpg, and only one averaged over 24 mpg. Their leading scorer had 9.2 ppg.

They have two players taller than 6-1, but both were on the team last year and neither was a factor.

They turned it over a lot last season (over 18 per game). Their three leading assist-makers are gone, two of which were their only players with an A/TO ratio of at least 1.0.

They did not shoot particularly well last year. 39% overall, 29% on threes, and 62% from the line.

Their top returning player is Alyric Scott. She's a 5'10" guard who was nearly their leading scorer (9.1 ppg) and was their leading rebounder (6.1). She is preseason 1st team all-SWAC, the only Southern player honored on a preseason team this year.

Buying NBA tickets

Trying to get some friends together to go up to a Bucks/76ers game early next year in Milwaukee. Originally just a couple of us were going, nosebleed seats were around 60 bucks. We gained a few more guys and our ranks have swollen to 5, and the price for the same seats went up to 100 per.

We are a group of casual NBA fans, and none of us are bucks/sixers fans, so the 100 dollar price tag isn't very appealing. These prices are from apps like vivid seats, stub hub, seat geak etc. Does anyone have ideas where else we could look, to save a few bucks. Has anyone had success buying from scalpers?
