Trying to calculate an appropriately hot "Utah ain't played nobody" take
Really hope UH doesn't end up regretting how much time they're leaving on the clock by consistently snapping the ball with 10-20 seconds left on the play clock right now
That OSU td drive featured a strip sack that got returned for a gain by an offensive lineman and two first downs on two of the most egregious missed holding calls I've ever seen. Not my favorite.
Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...
Thoroughly enjoyed the distinctly audible "fuck you Memphis" from the Tulane fans on the espn telecast
lol Roll Wave
Such a damning indictment of this stupid country that this worthless asshole is one of the most powerful members of the objectively best available political party
Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.
* Indiana's superpower waning? * UCLA hasn't needed a QB yet * Irish might beat BYU, but it'll hurt * God, OSU-Houston's gonna rule * Vols just need a LITTLE QB play (too much to ask) * Mini Rivalry Week! Chaos Superfecta! Playlist! ANCHOR-BONE CLASSIC! WEEK 7 PREVIEW: www.espn.com/college-foot...
Connelly breaks down Week 7: Notre Dame-BYU, Ohio State-Indiana, more
The Irish face their first test in the biggest game at Provo in ages, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Trying not to take anything away from an exhibition against an NAIA team, but I will say this: Arafan Diane looks more ready and less project-y than I thought. Soft hands and has had some high basketball IQ plays.
There's supposed to be this big rivalry between Texas and California but the Dodgers and Longhorns have the most similar fan bases imaginable. Their team has endless resources but as soon as anything goes wrong the only move they know is to cry about how unfair everybody is to them.
oh hell yeah they're cheating, daddy! they're big and they're bad and they're cheating!
Pretty big weekend of UH sports coming up. I'm planning on heading to UH for 4 consecutive days. Men's basketball exhibition tonight, volleyball vs UCF tomorrow, ranked-on-ranked action at TDECU on Saturday, and volleyball hosting Tech on Sunday.
5 scoreless from Gasser tonight! He'll get a no decision but the Brewers just took a 4-2 lead top 7 👀
Just noticed that former Coog Robert Gasser is starting tonight for the Brewers in game 3 on the NLCS. Biggest stage for a UH baseball alum in quite a while unless I'm forgetting something.
"You made us all get the story wrong," is, perhaps, the most pathetic stance that anyone pretending at journalism might offer. That GOP hacks might offer it up is standard. That Fox now runs out the string is, also, sadly quite standard.
James "Tricky" Talarico tricksed us!
If I had to pick a favorite part of this (which is difficult) it would be the very end where he tries to get the other reporters to turn on her, as though whatever lame answer he would've theoretically given would've been more newsworthy than his compete fucking meltdown
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

most criticism of bluesky makes me roll my eyes. if the biggest problem on this site is just libs who don’t get jokes and are a bit too centrist, we don’t actually have much of a problem at all. they’re kind of funny and also it feels good to deploy the nuclear block?
Understanding that I'm a little weird for me is like understanding the infield fly rule. I realize that there must've been a time I learned these things, but it feels like I knew them from the womb.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Tired: maybe the Big 12 should get two teams in the playoff? Wired: the Big 12 should get at least three teams in the playoff
* Texas' meh offense * UGA's in CFP Tier 1, Bama Tier 2 * The Big 12's loaded, and the race could still get weird * Will Stein's brave (and Lane isn't??) * It's the Lobos' world * SP+ movers! Favorite games! Yeah, Wheaton! HELL YEAH, MVSU! WEEK 6 RECAP: www.espn.com/college-foot...
Big win for Houston soccer! Coogs get the road W over Arizona State, 3-2. UH had dropped two straight after a 3-0 start to Big 12 play, but rebounds with a huge ncaa tourney bubble match over the Sun Devils.
Preseason @kenpom.com rankings are up! Houston is #3, Big 12 has 4 of the top 8 (Arizona 5, ISU 6, Kansas 8)
Weigman has 15 pass TDs, 6 rush TDs, and just 1 pick. Remember when the geniuses outside the program spent the offseason wondering when he'd get benched for Keisean?
Connor Weigman >>>>>>>>>> Arch Manning
Just when I thought this day of cfb watching couldn't get any better
In other small college score news, just realized that Eastern New Mexico is 0-6 under Art Briles...and they haven't gotten to the hard part of the schedule yet
