Me? Oh, I’m OK, I guess. You know, except for getting my heart and guts ripped out…twice…on Saturday night. How’s it going for you?
Rice could have beaten Houston. Should have. Incarnate Word could have beaten Southeast Louisiana. Should have.
But it’s not like I’m the only one hurting, right, Longhorns? And I’m sure it’s a rough Sunday morning for Arkansas’ field goal kicker. That goes for Miami head coach Mario Cristobal, too. Looks like the Sooner Schooner broke an axle. There’s plenty of misery to go around. Oh, and that was a crappy way to lose, Missouri.
But for others, the birds are singing sweetly. The Kansas Jayhawks are not only 4-0 in boys varsity tackle football. They are a GOOD 4-0 in boys varsity tackle football. There’s nothing fluky about them in the slightest.
Greatest athletic feat on planet Earth Saturday? Running in Berlin, two-time Olympic champ Eliud Kipchoge lowered his own marathon world record to 2:01:09. Dayum!
I have to agree with those of you who are saying that Brett Favre is being treated with kid gloves by the media. But at least he hasn’t done anything really scandalous like quietly taking a knee during the national anthem.
