Thanksgiving week in America’s two most visible college sports tends to be night and day in terms of its differences. In football, it’s the season’s climactic week, loaded with visceral hatred and occasional fisticuffs. In basketball, it’s the laid-back, good vibes week of Maui, Atlantis and other tropical tournaments.
Two teams that certainly did not get that memo are Jacksonville and Robert Morris, whose Friday afternoon matchup produced the strangest game of the Division I men’s season so far.

AUBURN, Alabama – Football can be an extremely emotional game, but when it comes to the Iron Bowl against blood brother rival Auburn, Alabama coach Nick Saban says it is much better to play with your brain.
“That’s one of the things that we really try to teach players,” Saban said on his radio show this week as he prepared the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 7-0 SEC) to play at Auburn (6-5, 3-4) on Saturday (3:30 p.m., CBS) at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
“When you get emotional, you make poor choices and decisions,” he said.

A fight in the second half of the Jets–Dolphins Black Friday tilt turned bloody for an NFL referee and resulted in two ejections.
The two teams became involved in a fracas following the extra point try of Raheem Mostert’s touchdown. During the fight, Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons pointed his arm at one of the Dolphins’s offensive players. 
In the motion of pointing, Clemons struck umpire Carl Paganelli in the face. Due to being hit in the mouth, Paganelli was shown spitting blood.

The Jets were all set to head into the locker room within shouting distance of the Dolphins.
New York struggled at times in the first half Friday afternoon, but had yet to completely fold against a contending Miami team. The Dolphins led the Jets 10-6, but there was little reason for coach Robert Saleh’s squad to completely panic yet.
The key word here is yet.
With two seconds left in the second quarter, New York quarterback Tim Boyle threw a Hail Mary pass that was reeled in by Miami safety Jevon Holland—and returned 99 yards for a touchdown.
