At around 4:30 Mrs Doofus asked “When is the Coastal Carolina – BYU game on?”
I was stunned. She knows when the State game is on so she can leave me alone and avoid me for a couple hours afterwards if they lose. She will occasionally watch Georgia Tech or Auburn or if friends are over, whatever they want to watch. But to ask about and look forward to a Group of Five game? I’m not even sure she had heard of Coastal Carolina let alone want to watch it.
She claims she didn’t read the Big Book of Guesses when I said it would be a great game. She just wanted to watch it. She figured it would be a fun game.
So with Mr and Mrs H in the house for some football and board games, we turned one of the TVs to the Group of 5 match up of the year. And what a game it was. The teal field, Mormons vs Mullets, both teams trading haymakers for a full 60 minutes. Outstanding
With 3 seconds left BYU had the ball down 22-17 and then this happened

Fantastic game!
And kudos to BYU to schedule the game at the last minute. When Liberty had to back out of playing Coastal due to the COVID, BYU stepped in on a Tuesday and agreed to fly 2,300 miles for the game.
If they stayed home they would likely be in a NY6 game and as an independent, keep all the proceeds. But they risked it all to stage a phenomenal game.
With the win the Chanticleers rose to 13th in the CFP rankings (too low).
Maybe the Sun Belt coaches can get a gig with the BBofG, they predicted CCU to finish last in the league.
On the other end of the spectrum, Akron ended a 21 game losing streak going back 770 days by routing another winless team, Bowling Green 31-3.
New Mexico then inherited the nations longest losing streak at 14 and a 20 conference losing streak - until later that night when they upset Wyoming 17-16.
The game was played in Las Vegas due to lockdowns in New Mexico. Who thought you would need to go to Vegas to avoid communicable diseases?

Another streak came to an end on Saturday. Virginia Tech had gone to 27 straight bowl games. But after getting pounded by Clemson 45-10, the Hokies will have a losing season and staying home for the Holidays. Justin Fuentes is now 18-18.
How in the world is Wisconsin still ranked 25th? After losing ugly to to Northwestern they did absolutely nothing in losing to Indiana playing their backup quarterback. The offense has only one TD and two FGs in the last two games. As Brian Kelly pointed out – how weird is 2020? No sense looking at the scoreboard, the Domers were notified that they were in the ACC championship game via text.
They will face Clemson, playing in the sixth consecutive ACC championship game, the first Power 5 team to do that since these things started back in 1992.
Ohio State will face Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship. scUM claims COVID will keep them from getting annihilated by the BuckNuts ahd hoped that it would keep them from playing in Indianapolis since they would have played less than six games. But the Big Ten changed the rules and allowed them in. Trust me, if it were any other team then scUM or Ohio State they would not have changed the rules.

You thought you had a bad day but it wasn't as bad as Paul Boudewaux, the long snapper for UL Lafayette. He sailed four errant snaps. He sailed three snaps over the punter's head – one resulting in a 38-yard loss, another in a safety – and his high snap on a PAT led to a missed extra point.
Forget Kyle Trask. Forget Mac Jones and Grayson McCall. Forget Justin Fields. I have a new favorite college quarterback. UNLV quarterback Max Gilliam apologized Monday for “poor judgment” after he was shown eating sushi off a nude model on the Bravo TV reality show “Below Deck.”
Apologize hell, I would be bragging all over the twittersphere.
Remember, the 2021 GO JUMBO trip is Nov 13, 2021
And don't forget your drink coupons!
