Indiana has first and 10 with 2 minutes to play, and Miami has all 3 timeouts. Gain 10 yards, and probably win a championship. ---

I’m astonished. I was rooting for the Hoosiers, but their past history (prior to last season) wouldn’t let me believe it until it was over. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > FERNANDO! Woohoo! I just got caught up. Was that touchdown one of the coolest looking in a long time? Indiana deserved it for sure. I remember when I went to Michigan, the Indiana games that were at Michigan Stadium were low attendance and they were considered a joke team. I’m glad they won. ---

Hat tip to Miami, every bit a match. Miami marching down the field, last minute, down six. Major upset in the cards. IU smartly calls a timeout, defense looking a bit gassed. Slightly underthrown pass and IU gets the play. Congratulations to both. ND can suck it​😁 ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > So apparently the Sherrone Moore situation was that he was having an affair with a young staffer, she broke up with him on December 8, he wouldn’t leave her be, she went to the University to report his stalker behavior, they fired him for having an inappropriate relationship, he flipped out, went to her apartment, forced his way in, grabbed a knife and threatened to kill himself in front of her.

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > What is probation? I mean in terms of what it actually is like to “be on probation”. I hear the term all the time, but I don’t really have any clue what it means It can be a variety of conditions placed on the defendant for a set period of time. Generally, the threat of actual incarceration is hanging over their head until they meet all the conditions. It can be “supervised probation” or unsupervised. It can be as easy as “no further law violations,” or very rigorous. Sometimes classes of some kind are ordered (anger management, alcohol information school). Sometimes there is a requirement for treatment (alcohol or drugs the most common). There are probably financial penalties or fees. ---

Probation requirements can vary. In this case apparently it lasts for 18 months; he is banned from contacting the victim; required to continue mental health counseling, and standard probation terms like regular check-ins with a probation officer, compliance with all laws (no new offenses); possible restrictions on travel outside the state (unless approved) and he may have to pay a few thousand in court costs. ---
