Foot Play

Well, couldn’t pass this up.


LeBron James, the greatest human being in sports today arrived in San Antonio for a game sporting a Beto hat. Beto O’Rourke is the Star of Texas politics and is in an increasingly perilous position to unseat “Lucifer incarnate” incumbent senator Ted Cruz. LeBron is not going to “Shut up and dribble,” racist right-winger Scarlett O’Hara Ingraham’s advice to keep “uppity” Black man LeBron seen for the entertainment of White bitches and their cuckolded men but not heard on the plantation, and which James brilliantly has taken as the title for his documentary on sports social activists.

11:10 pm

Closer than expected in upstate NY. Sometimes that happens when you import a victim. You get out to a big lead early, relax, put in the scrubs and suddenly...The outmanned "Chanticleers" or whatever they're called crept back in it but talent and depth almost always prevail and Syracuse hung on to beat North Carolina State, who can now go back to their league and play James Madison and Georgia State, 51-41.

#14 Washington State beat #24 Stanford in an Asia-Pacific Athletic Conference tilt 41-38.

The California “Golden Water Buffaloes" beat #15 Washington in an exciting 12-10 contest nobody cares.

Mississippi State beat #16 Texas A&M 28-13 among the cow bells. The SEC continues to cannibalize itself.

Returning to basketball Miami is now 3-2 after beating Portland 120-111 in the Magic City...but. But they almost gave the game away, trailed in fact 106-103 with 3:07 left to play. But-but, Dragic, BOOM!, Richardson, BOOM!, Dragic BOOM!, McGruder, BOOM!, four straight bombs from distance in the final two and a half minutes saved the night.

Miami led by 11 after one and by 15 at the half. For the second game this season, the bad guys' point guard abused Goran Dragic. Statistically Dragic had a great game, a team high 28, 10/19, 4/9, 4/5, 3 assists, but apparently there is no "D" in Goran's game for his opposite, Damian Lillard, was nearly transcendent: 42 points on 15/28 shooting, 5/11 from range, 7/7 free throws, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Hassan Whiteside only had 5 points on 8 shots but Hassan continues to dominate inside, especially on the defensive end. He blocked 6 shots and had 16 'bounds, 13 of them off Portland misfires.

Rodney McGruder had another solid game, 14, 5/10, 1/3, 3/3, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.

Josh Richardson hit that huge three but had a JRich night: 11, 5/15, 1/3, 0/1, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal, a block, 2 TO's.

DWade was the star in the 1Q and finished with an efficient 19 in 21' on 7/12, 4/6.

The point is point. That's two games in five the Dragon has gotten hammered, one of them a loss and this one, too close.

I have put this off as long as I can: good night. SEND DRUGS.

Taggart vows change, says some Seminoles quit
(ESPN)

You should vow to quit, that is the change that is needed.

Speaking of dead men walking, turning our attention to roundball for a sec, the "Cadavers" lost another one, their sixth in a row, a perfect 0-for-the-season. Indians cut 'em up 119-107 in the Morgue.


8:15 pm

I don't like when major college tackle football schools play lower-division schools just to get an easy W. Nebraska did it to Bethune-Cookman today 45-9 in Lincoln and tonight Syracuse is "playing" Division IAA North Carolina State in Syracuse. The "Orangemen" are up 24-7 at end 1Q.

The #7 Silver Britches beat the F out of #9 FU in Jax 36-17. You don't see futility like this in a winner very often but this was Georgia after FU fumbled at their own one yard line:

  • 1st & Goal at FLA 1

    (4:00 - 3rd) Holyfield, Elijah rush for no gain to the FLORIDA1, PENALTY FLORIDA offside 0 yards to the FLORIDA1, NO PLAY.
  • 1st & Goal at FLA 1

    (3:40 - 3rd) Elijah Holyfield run for no gain to the Fla 1
  • 2nd & Goal at FLA 1

    (3:00 - 3rd) D'Andre Swift run for a loss of 1 yard to the Fla 2
  • 3rd & Goal at FLA 2

    (2:19 - 3rd) Fromm, Jake pass incomplete to Holloman, Jeremiah, PENALTY FLORIDA pass interference (McWilliams, C.J.) 1 yards to the FLORIDA1, NO PLAY, 1ST DOWN GEORGIA.

    (2:19 - 3rd) FLORIDA Penalty, Unsportsmanlike Conduct ( Yards) to the Fla 1

#12 Kentucky won at Mizzou 15-14.

#17 PSU beat #18 Iowa in Moonie Valley 30-24.

Northwestern beat the snot out of the #20 "Boogers" in Illinoise 31-17. That's three losses in eight games for Paul Chryst's team.

Houston, unranked but 7-1, bull-whipped South Florida, 21st ranked and now also 7-1, 57-36 in Cow Town.

Iowa State, 4-3, beat 5-3 Texas Tech 40-31 in Ames. Great year for the "Cyclops."

UMass was an intended victim today. Fortunately for the "Minutemen" they were chosen by UConn. The "Poodles" don't victimize anybody. UMass won 22-17 in East Hartford.

5-3 Michigan State beat 4-4 Purdue in East Spartak 23-13.

Galls me: 6-2 Virginia beat UNC 31-21 in Charlottesville to leave the "Heels" 1-6 on the season with their sole win being over...


7:31 pm

Light the Cathedral of Learning with a blue Star of David tonight.

6:56 pm

Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett was 4/14 passing until the game's final drive. Then he went 4/4, including the game winner with five seconds to play and the "Panthers" got a safety on the last play of the game to beat hard-luck Duke and good-guy coach David Cutcliffe 54-45 in a city that is bleeding today.


3:16 pm

59-3


3:10 pm

It is now 52-3 with about a minute left in 3Q. FSU has punted nine times. Sorry, you cannot lose 52-3 at home when you are Florida State. Willie Taggart should be fired immediately.

2:36 pm

In short-pants Liverpool wasted Cardiff 4-1. 'Pool now tops the EPL with City not playing until Monday at Spurs.

In scholarly tackle, the Semiholes are not holding those tigers. #2 Clemson led 28-0 at the half, scored in two plays to start the 2H, now lead 35-0 and have the ball back. The possessions so far:
