Wyoming had a bye this week, so the team went undefeated.  Next week the movable Wyoming defense against New Mexico that can only run the ball but does so to the pace of about 500 yards per game.

This might be a bad one...

Are Clemson and Auburn public or private?

Huh, for some reason I thought that Auburn was private. Learn something every day. :)

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Rutgers and Lville are playing right now.  3-0 UL, a guy has already been carted off with what looked like a broken arm. 

In other, way more stupid news:

Tennessee and VaTech are going to play at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2016, with the joint being set up for 160,000.  That sounds fairly cool at first until you think about how far away the fans are going to be from the game:



Tickets on the 50 and you're 75 yards from the field?  AWESOME SIGN ME UP RIGHT Nwait no that sucks

When did "Teddy Ballgame" become a thing (Teddy Bridgewater)?  Since "Johnny Football" became ultra popular?  It's stupid and too ripoff-y, but ESPN types seem to be saying it a lot recently (not just today).

Oh the numbers in parentheses above are the distances for similar seats at Neyland.

LOL, like when "The Genius" Belichoke drafted "Touchdown" Tommy Vardell.  Tommy didn't tell him he left all the touchdowns at Stanford.  BUT HES A GENIUS

I know it's only high school, but this popped up on CBS tonight (I didn't know they even had a high school sports section until just now heh):

http://www.maxpreps.com/blogs/maxwire-national-blog/Zk3DjP6fCEWo-UVURRdN_w/alexander-senior-marc-lozoya-sets-texas-receiving-record,-just-misses-national-mark.htm

QuoteIt was a special night in Texas for Alexander (Laredo, Texas) senior Marc Lozoya.

The receiver hauled in 16 passes for 448 yards and six touchdowns in a 63-35 win over Winn, according to TexasHSfootball.com.

According to the NFHS national record book, the standard for receiving yards in a game is 456 set by Kraig Pruett in November of 2012. The Texas state record was 392 yards, set by Austin Bustos of Amarillo Caprock in 2012.

Now, AFAIK the Laredo area and the Valley aren't really known for having a huge amount of football talent, so this guy might have just been running all over scrubs, but still.  16 for 448 and 6TDs is....notable.  They couldn't get one more pass to him for the record though?  Cmon coach.

Oh and I won't be able to watch the game tomorrow, but fuck OU and fuck Bob Stoops.  The dirt burglars will always suck no matter what. :punk:

Ted Williams' head in a jar should sue! :angry:

The gameday thread and gamecast is making me want to just get up and leave and go somewhere I can watch it.  I dont really need a job, right?  :(

E:  Hooray!  I might actually be out of here in time to see the second half!  Of course, that's when it'll all fall apart.

I am actually excited for a Ducks game for the first time all season.

The Huskies have definitely narrowed the talent gap in the last couple of years, and this is the first game all year the Ducks really have any chance of losing.  If Oregon plays as well as they can they will win comfortably; if not the Huskies have a great chance to beat them.  I think it will be interesting into the 4th quarter either way.

The Ducks have won the last 9 games against Washington by an average of almost 26 points per game.  I heard on the radio yesterday that in those 9 games (540 minutes of game time) the Huskies have led for a grand total of ~3 minutes.*
