The Vikings are the final undefeated team in the league. I don’t even think you could bet them to be the last undefeated team before the season in most major books. I believe “Field” would have been the winning bet.

Carolina Hurricanes announced HHN distribution deal with DirecTV. As I explained a couple weeks ago, push was gonna get to shove and DTV didn't have leverage with streaming options readily available.

I played it a little bit but by 2000 we had advanced to playing keyboarding games that revolved around SEC football. They even advertised them on games!

Americans who went to school in the 90s: did you play Oregon Trail? Did EVERYONE play Oregon Trail? I keep seeing it come up and wonder if it was truly that prevalent

South Carolina early voting more than doubled from the 2022 midterms first day, from 42K in 2022 to almost 98K yesterday. It was at over 77% of the 2024 first day election total

Per Mike Monaco of ESPN: Today will be the 1st day in the history of the AP Poll (1936) where FIVE different top-8 teams in the country lose. • No. 1 Georgia • No. 5 Indiana • No. 6 Alabama • No. 7 Texas • BYU/Notre Dame loser

Gene Stallings, Jim Donnan and John Mackovic were the coaches. Georgia lost to a 1-6 Kentucky that had just fired Bill Curry. That's how long ago it was

Somebody find out what kind of hellmouth is about to open

We're one more upset from Blood Week territory

No. 1, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 13 and No. 16 all lost plus one of No. 2/No. 8 and No. 18/No. 20 by the end of the night.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Game 4 of the ALCS has been postponed. It will be played tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET. Game 5 will be played Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. Game 6, if necessary, would be played Monday night at Tropicana Field, per Jorge Castillo

South Carolina fans after a few years of 9-3s would. But West Virginia would treat it like a national title

How long will it take for the appeal of simply making the playoff to wear off? Now there are 24 teams in it, you’re not as special for just being invited. I think this devalues the CFP brand in a way that probably isn’t being accounted for by the brand itself. But anyways, One year? Two years?

Remembered what local TV stations were in some random market in Iowa. I was in 2nd grade

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?

No win situation for WSB. Preempting the biggest football game of the year in the Atlanta metro for a tornado warning for Jasper County, GA, a county of 18K people. But have to fulfill public service

you'll never understand John Mateer's game. 9-D chess. Esperanto playcalling. Football zaza that will leave you reading Sanskrit in the LED flickers. Idi Amin playmaking. He sent his game tape to Criterion and they filed it under Classic Italian Vampire Erotica. He stole a car and it thanked him.

Looks like the South Carolina Stingrays are trying out former UMD Duluth women's goaltender Colleen Jacoby, who currently seems to be an attorney working in the Charleston area. Really cool.
