You guys could read the article....

"Wood, 33, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years for the murder charge. Clark County District Court Judge Jacqueline Bluth also ordered him to serve between 28 months and six years for the child abuse charge. He must serve the sentences consecutively."

Right, at least 12 years and four months, but it doesn't say what mom was sentenced to. I think that was the question. Probably she hasn't been sentenced yet.

You are right, I'm being way too dismissive. I should have included my thoughts with the quote. I don't think, and I sure as fuck hope he isn't, getting paroled for a long time.

I am also putting a lot of weight on the fact that he has no end date. As far as I know, a Texas parole board will have to say he can go free. I also haven't even tried to see if there is any sort of standard for this type of conviction. .....also running on a lot of "fuck this guy" energy here.

Yeah, that was my whole question with this. I hope she gets at least as long a sentence, but it doesn't seem like they've released that info or they're not reporting it.

I was two rows away from the sideline on this play. (student section at Purdue - don't at me). Mike Golic Sr was on the sideline in front of me going wild over this hurdle
How good things can go bad.
Lord, please help all of those children who have suffered from the hands of demons and help the abusers to be free from their demons.

Which game and play would this be? The Oklahoma game TD run in 2012? If you are referring to that then I agree with others that is not the biggest win in the past 25 years. That was not even the most iconic play in that game. Te’O’s diving interception to seal the game would be the play I would point to as most iconic.

Maybe we are biased but I hear more people talk about Golson's deep bomb to Chris Brown than Cierre Wood's big run that game.

Right? Oklahoma already had 1 loss by the time we played them that year, and they would end the season with 3 losses. It was a big win, but it was not the biggest win nor was it the biggest play of said game.

MSU the next year was a far bigger win. The Spartans wound up winning the Rose Bowl that season and would have been playing for the NC if we weren't their lone loss (Probably would have lost to FSU though, they were a more complete team). Either of the Clemson wins is bigger than Oklahoma too, even the COVID year. It was still a #1 team at the height of their power and we were missing players too.

That 2013 MSU game was the most lowkey big win ever. It was early enough in the season that it didn't feel quite as important as it would become. Also it was a pretty ugly game IIRC. Didn't our offense consist mainly of Tommy Rees throwing into PI calls?

Oklahoma certainly felt like a huge win at the time, we finally won the big big game on the road. (The Chris Brown play is the one I remember, personally). Though Michigan and Stanford may have been more memorable from that season.

But even without Trevor Lawrence playing and despite losing to them later in the year, Clemson in 2020 was the single biggest win of the Kelly era and I don't think it's that close. That was just a massive night, and in a weird way I think it being Covid times kind of magnified it. There were just fewer big games that year so more eyeballs on the ones that happened. And then of course the storming the field...

The MSU gameplan was pretty brilliant, actually. Our favorite Pitt HC and Irish hater, Pat Narduzzi, was DC at the time. He would keep his Corners out on islands and be aggressive with one or both Safeties. We took advantage of this and Tommy threw at those Corners all day, and amazingly the B1G refs called the holding more than usual. It worked, and it exposed the weakness of that defense. It ruined their perfect season and a chance at the NC. It's no wonder Narduzzi still has an axe to grind. I count at least 5 Pass Interference calls, plus a personal foul and a holding on Sparty. All our scoring drives were aided by MSU penalties.

I feel like I could have scored on that CW run. Drive a truck through that hole.

But I feel like that was a statement win in that “perfect” season. On paper huge and optics huge.

That 2012 roster was absolutely cursed. Atkinson Brothers, Louis Nix, Greg Bryant, Cierre, Manti’s weird situation.
I should probably take that 12-0 banner off my office wall. The books say that season is vacated bc of shit I did every day in college. Guess I should vacate my 4 World Series banners. 🤷‍♂️

The stuff on the goal line is legendary vs Stanford.

Heart breaking absolutely gut wrenching. Cierre aside. The rest were so easy to like and root for

Minor nitpick but Greg Bryant wasn't on the 2012 team, though the run to the NCG almost certainly was the catalyst that won us his recruitment.

What about the OT that fell off his balcony on spring break? Would he have been part of the 2012 team?
