Lynch’s Raging Wad

Props to Indiana’s Bill Lynch for the classic move of firing his gum down the sideline after the refs initially ruled on Donovan Warren’s interception that effectively ended the game.   I had about the same angle from my seats as the ESPN cameras (a bad one), but I kind of understand Lynch’s rage. 

Nevertheless, unlike another state of Indiana coach, looks like Lynch took the high road after the game:

"I couldn’t see," Lynch said. "Obviously, where I’m standing on the sidelines it looked like they both had it. That’s as far as I could go."

As far as where the gum ended up, I pored over photos from the game and found something strange on one IU helmet:
