the projection of this UNT-Indiana game probably looked very different when the contract was signed five or six years ago

Lafayette with the formation I'm going to call "The Wannabe Roughrider" with the slot reciever lining up as an Offensive Safety i guess? No waggle in the American game.

well with this looking like a lean UTEP year, maybe i can switch to dear alma mater, who are...facing the defending national champions. dear oh dear.
PLAY BY PLAY: You got bit by a bee? FOZZY WHITAKER: Stung. I was stung by a bee.
a pretty decent defensive effort considering they were put in a rotten position by a seven yard punt
OU touchdown is taken off the board for a comically unsubtle pick. dude knocked two defenders goofy so he can still put it on tape, just remember to block only when you're supposed to
delay of game while setting up a 45 yard field goal. sheesh.
two scrambles for four yards and then an awful throw to a guy three yards out of bounds. Then an 88 yard punt return. lads, i don't think i'll get to call into after dark talking crazy this season.
UTEP defense is going for dying sword in hand. living was never an option, acourse. Did manage to stand up a tush push on second and goal. nice thing to point to.
You could say the season begons in earnest tonight when oklahoma readies themselves to face YOUR University of Texas at El Paso Miners, representing the Harvard of the Borderland, the Paris of the Southwest, the standard bearers for college football in Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua Province.
that's actually an interesting story. A bunch of old NFL writers were keeping Namath out as the last remaining bastion of NFL>AFL jingoism, so the old AFL writers formed a bloc to keep Tarkenton out until Namath was in.

increase of vote capacity and class size: very good elimination of senior pool: mixed to slightly negative elimination of special committees for coaches and contributors: very bad.
Bryan Knowles@brykno.bsky.social · yesterdayThe most significant change to the Hall rules is that voters now pick SIX of seven finalists rather than five. One more vote means it's much less likely (though not quite impossible!) for strategic voting to backfire and eliminate an obviously qualified candidate. www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

Ryan Nanni@celebrityhottub.bsky.social · 2d ago37 seconds is somehow both - enough time to mount a game winning drive without any real heroics - the exact amount of time to completely fuck things up
gonna flag'em for throwing those helmets or does the crew just wanna go home
lol ok well so much for my half-quarter analysis of Juju. That was money, the whole drive
