Florida State is 1-6. Michigan is one of two teams with double-digit turnovers that still hasn’t cleared 1,000 yards in total offense for the season. ESPN College Gameday will be in Bloomington, Indiana, on Saturday. You know, the home of the 7-0 Indiana Hoosier football team. Northern Illinois took out Notre Dame. Vanderbilt beat Alabama. M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D sent USC back 3.000 miles with an L. Army, and Navy ranked in the Top 25. A Boise State running back is a strong Heisman Trophy candidate. BYU is undefeated. Louisiana Monroe is 5-1 and has not appeared in a bowl game since 2012. Whoever is on the side of the street peddling the notion that the college game is in trouble isn’t paying close attention to the on-the-field product. Are there financial dark clouds in the college sports landscape with the House Settlement? For sure.
I don’t know about you, but the 5-2 start by Arizona State football and the utter collapse of what’s going on in Tucson have made for a wild scramble these next five weeks. Kenny Dillingham has been interesting, 
entertaining, and bombastic. In the meantime, in Tucson, the wheels have come off of an offense that a year ago was explosive. The defense is banged up, and I wonder if some of the NFL Draft prospects are hearing the whispers in their circles about shutting it down if the losing continues. My circles want to talk more about college games than the NFL…
Tell me you won’t be nervous watching Tua get hit by the Cardinals on Sunday—three concussions in the last twenty-two months. How about this quote from the Dolphins quarterback on Tuesday, “I love this game, 
and I love it to the death of me,” Tagovailoa said. “… For me, this is what I love to do. This is what makes me happy, and I’m going to do it.”…
Christians vs. Devils on the basketball court in 21 days…
Fernando Valenzuela, Pete Rose, Orlando Cepeda, and Willie Mays have left us this year. Hard if you’re a fan of baseball not to be moved. I grew up in FernandoMania. San Diego hates LA, but the respect towards Valenzuela when he pitched against the Padres was just different. Sure, Lasorda would get booed. Garvey, Lopes, Russell, Cey, Baker, Reggie Smith, Pedro Guerrero, and Ferguson, Yeager, and Scioscia behind the plate. It was like the Big Unit in a Diamondback game when Fernando pitched. Everything else in So. Cal sports stopped…
Bronny and Lebron on the court together is good for sports. If you hate that, then you’re probably just miserable. It also gives us something to talk about until next April, when the playoffs begin. The NBA regular season is Faaaannnntassticccc. One night in, the League is already investigating why Joel Embiid isn’t playing. Embarrassing…
