Can't keep the teams straight, Omaha and Oklahoma City both start with O, it is a lot to ask, I guess.

Phillip Fulmer was the coach at Tennessee. Fulmer went 2-7 vs. Florida and Spurrier. 2-2 vs. Spurrier at South Carolina. (Disclosure: I looked this up. )

OBD, 1st on PSU and James Franklin's 2025 List - What does head coach James Franklin need to do to avoid the hot seat in 2025-26? VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM The strides made in the 2024-25 Penn State football season don't go unnoticed. If anything, they only make people expect more. For head coach James Franklin, no Danno, you just made the list, buddy. White Out! B1G Deal. PSU is overlooking the impact Charles and Company will have on this Week 5 game.

That trio was my top 3 as well. One could quibble about the order but from an opponent's perspective, each of these three would make somebody's top 3. Incidentally, I once asked Champ Baily, who was drafted by the Washington Redskins, then coached by Spurrier who used to taunt the Dawgs relentlessly, what it was like to play for Spurrier. He just smiled broadly commenting that he was a great guy and all the taunting was just part of who he was. He seemed to genuinely like the guy.

I was shocked to discover he was born in Miami. His father was a pastor in both Georgia and Tennessee. The Volunteers didn't recruit him because he ran something called the wing T. Jon, you know more about the history of college football than I. Was Johnny Majors the coach of Tennessee at that time?

Ngata was a man and a half. I think he helped prolong Ray Lewis career in Baltimore. I remember Lewis complaining about the lack of any help after Tony Siragusa retired. I laughed because he had a guy like Ed Reed behind him, but Ray needed some space eaters up front to allow him space to disrupt running lanes or get to the QB.

Football and BASEBALL!

I think her play in the Olympics helped her confidence. A terrific athlete improving their game is great to watch. Caitlin Clark X'd on the US Open at Oakmont. was shown yesterday on NBC's broadcast: 'Does anyone have fun playing there? I wouldn't break 130!' Color Commentator Kevin Kisner - 'If she played from way back tees, she'd run out of ammunition before finishing her round.'

Getting to Oklahoma? The MCWS is in Omaha...

A Lesson in Never Giving Up US Open champion JJ Spaun turned a free fall into a title at rain-soaked Oakmont APNEWS.COM On a day built for umbrellas, J.J. Spaun reversed his own free fall, took advantage of everyone else’s and hit two shots that turned him into a major champion.

Man, Sabrina has really upped her game this year.

Football and football. IMO we’ve become a “football school” but have zero titles, which is something that anyone can throw in our face and there really is no comeback for it. Basketball (both teams) would be nice as well Sad as it may or may not be, all the other sports really don’t move the needle. IMO, if you ask an average sports fan “who won the last championship?” in baseball, indoor track, etc, they’ll probably have zero idea unless their team happened to be the one.

I guess these two college sports 'experts' were too Soon(ers) at the bar and stayed later than closing time? Understandable confusion, once upon a time, Nebraska was Oklahoma's biggest rival. They're two Fly Over states, who cares?

This morning Perloff was talking about how the Oregon Ducks lost their game yesterday. Losing is sad, but, hey, just getting to Oklahoma is quite the accomplishment. Seriously, can't people keep the Oregon teams straight?

Presumptuously jumping in. (I know, you're shocked !) For younger Gators, it has to be the iconic Tebow. For a person in advanced middle age, I'll take Steve Spurrier as the all-time greatest Gator. Steve won games for the Gators at QB and also as Florida's head coach. Steve was known coast-to-coast well before (un)social media. In 1966, Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy. The 1st time a Gator won the Stiff-Arm. (I was a senior in HS and watched Steve play ball.) Spurrier finished with a college coaching record of 228-89-2, a .718% winning percentage. He amassed this record coaching Florida, which he transformed into an SEC power, as well as at 'punching bags', Duke and South Carolina. He was the SEC COY on 5 occasions and the ACC COY twice in three seasons at Duke. In 1996, under Spurrier, Florida won its first national title in football, defeating rival No. 1-ranked FSU 52 - 20 in the Sugar Bowl. The victory was made sweeter by Florida having lost 24-21 to the Seminoles in the regular season. If you have two QBs you have too many? In 1997, Spurrier took Florida to a 10-2 second-place SEC finish behind Tennessee, alternating QBs Doug Johnson and Jesse 'The Bachelor' Palmer on every play, and occasionally, also playing QB Noah Brandise. Spurrier's O was justifiably referred to as the 'Fun N Gun.' Tebow was one of the greatest Gators, but Spurrier elevated Florida as a player and a coach. Oh, and don't forget the great one-liners. In 1993, Florida State was put on probation for agents paying for free shopping trips at Foot Locker. (I know , compared to today?) Spurrier: 'You know what FSU stands for, don't you? Free Shoes U.' Asked about a fire at the Auburn football dormitory that destroyed twenty books. 'The real shame is that 15 hadn't been colored in yet.' 'You can have good ballplayers and still not win games. All you LSU fans know that' Spurrier loved to tweak his home state of Tennessee. 'Peyton Manning came back to Tennessee for his senior year because he wanted to be the first three-time MVP of the Citrus Bowl.' 'You can't spell Citrus Bowl without UT.' I rest my case .

Belichick/Hudson…I always thought Bill was more of a Stacy’s mom guy. Turns out he fell for Stacy.

But Clark played 7 fewer minutes, had 8 rebounds to Sabrina’s 2, and had a 9-4 advantage in assists. And, yes, Clark had more turnovers, too. Just stats. Both of these women are phenomenal basketball players and it’s a joy to watch them play.

I'm thinking DAT and Fouts should break up that set

That's what I came up with, at Oregon I'd go 1. Marcus Mariota 2. LaMichael James 3, Haloti Ngata

Duck women finish 10th with 23 points. No place in the world better than Hayward Field to see track and field! SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Oregon junior Aaliyah McCormick was crowned the champion Saturday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

I've owned maybe two pairs my whole life. To me they don't have the durability of a good old fashioned pair of Wranglers. If I'm rocking the shorts I prefer camos or even khaki.

He is right up there. Spurrier is seen as the Godfather of Florida. He won a Heisman as a QB. When he left Duke to join Florida, people forget that Florida had won nothing. They were more known for Gatorade than success on the field. Steve brought swagger and the fun &gun reveloutinized the game. Danny Wuerffel won the school's second Heisman under Steve. Free Shoes University was a quip Steve made that really irked Bobby Bowden, and boy that Florida vs FSU rivalry in the 90's was bigger than FSU vs Miami in the 80's. The 1996 season saw FSU hand Florida it's only loss, but Florida trounced them in the Sugar Bowl to win it's first ever National Title. That was the game that made me a Gator fan, even though I later attended FSU because of my major and decision to enlist in the Air Force. But my top 3, and most people's would be 1.) Spurrier 2.) Tim Tebow 3.) Emmitt Smith Some might have Wuerffel or Kearse up there. But Tebow is undoubtedly in the discussion. It helps that he is genuinely one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I saw him with his fiance eating dinner and he talked to me for ten minutes.

I would guess Tebow is considered the GOAT by most of the jort crowd (as I sit here at my keyboard wearing a pair of jorts so loathed b Dawg fans). Actually, I kinda like jorts--they last forever it seems, probably longer than I will.

Well, like most of you I am sure not likely to lose any sleep over either of these games (or Montana State as well). I am interested in seeing how both lines of scrimmage gel however. This could be one early indicator of how far the 25 Ducks are likely to go.

Well, it just got harder for the Beavs, Coastal Carolina 6 Oregon State 2, 4 of CC's runs were unearned,
