I knew it, I just knew it. She dumped me a long time ago, kept talking trash about me to the kids in the hallway, but I can’t help trying.
Same result - burned again.
NC State couldn’t stop a freshman QB. Tyler Van Dyke went off for four TD passes while the Cane defense finally learned how to tackle.
It was an exciting game though with several lead changes. I was in it late with NC State driving, down 31-30 and a chance to take the lead and the cover. On fourth and eight the Pack did what dumb teams do, throw it short of the sticks. The receiver was tackled two yards short. Ball game.
Overall, it was still a profitable weekend as I went 25-10 including three parlay wins.
Miami’s Manny Diaz replacement search just went on hold….for a week.
The replacement search for Va Tech’s Justin Fuente went into overdrive after Syracuse scored 2 TDs in the last two minutes to down the Hokies.

Head Coaches get fired during the season on occasion. But with a winning record and one win away from bowl eligibility? That’s what happened to Texas Tech’s Matt Wells this week.
Dig a little deeper and he is 7-17 against Power 5 teams and coming off back to back four win seasons.
Good luck finding a high profile coaching candidate to take a look. Since 2010, when Mike Leach left, TTU has been ranked a total of only 16 weeks. That’s worse than every current and future Big 12 member except, of course, Kansas.
I’m a big fan of college football’s version of overtime but the Penn State Illinois 9 OT “thriller” almost made me change my mind. Off tackle two point conversion attempts had me put down my bourbon and take a short nap.
The new rules were OT rules intended to limit injuries. Ironic that Illinois QB Art Sitkowski broke his arm during OT and is out for the season.

And you can tap the brakes on James franklin to USC. The Lions are looking like a 7-5 team now, not a CFP team.
You might not care, but Mr H. does. Harvard was robbed of a victory over Princeton when, in the third OT QB Jake Smith found WR Kym Wimberley for what appeared to be the game-winning score.
The play was reviewed and officials said that Princeton coach Bob Surace had called timeout before the snap. On Sunday, the Ivy League said that officials made a "procedural error" and Surace's timeout should not have been granted retroactively.
Apology accepted. Too bad the loss still counts.
The big story was Oklahoma getting down 10-0 at the half to Kansas. Overlooked was the Sooners scoring 35 points in the second half to win.
Oklahoma won its game over a one-win team by 12 and moved down in the rankings. Cincinnati won its road game over a one-win team by seven and moved to No. 2.
Sooner QB Caleb Williams did something during the game I’ve never seen before:

Here’s a stat I’ve never seen before either. Wake Forest’s time of possession versus Army 17:17 yet they scored 9 TDs, downing Army 70-56. Dwink is still in shell shock.
BYU stumbled a bit but after last weeks win over Washington State, the Cougars are 4-0 against Pac 12 teams, a better record than any team in the Pac 12.
Clemson lost to Pitt 27-17. It was the first double digits for the first time since November 15, 2014. The winner? The Sax Man knows.
Pitt AB Kenny Pickett has now thrown 23 TDs versus only 1 pick. That’s front row Heisman type numbers.
