Internet isn’t place for inappropriateness

If you caught Ty’s Take, ESPN SportCenter or pretty much any media outlet that covers college sports over the last few days, you probably can surmise what this column is about.

If you didn’t, here’s the issue in a nutshell: the Iowa State men’s basketball team lost to Kansas at home the other night, effectively snapping the Cyclones’ 22-game home winning streak. While the officiating wasn’t fantastic all game, a series of questionable calls right before the end of regulation turned the tables on Iowa State and, while they didn’t determine the outcome of the game outright, they certainly had an effect on the contest.

What I’m not going to do, however, is whine or mope about the officiating and the outcome; I’m here to address the fallout.
