Haha, Bjd beat me to an open post … hope you don’t mind, sir, if I add a few items!
Pack football gets to lie in wait for the visit to the Cheats next weekend, when we’ll all be on the tryptophan hangover (I googled tryptophan – I thought you had spelled it correctly!). Here’s a decent viewers’ guide / tv listings for today’s action: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24826506/the-saturday-meal-plan-your-week-13-tv-viewers-guide
Shamelessly going off-topic – recap of Friday’s bball action: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24827239/night-court-jonathan-holmes-pushes-texas-to-2k-classic-title
ACC bball scores from Friday: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/scoreboard/ACC/20141121
If you check the recap listed above, you’ll see that ‘Clemsoning’ applies to basketball as well. Tigers allowed a 3 from Gardner-Webb to tie late, couldn’t in-bounds the ball out of their last time-out, and promptly called a time-out they didn’t have. Gardner-Webb player sinks the free-throws and down goes Clemson. Ouch. Brownell will likely be feeling plenty of heat this season unless things turn around quickly / in league play.
Also from Friday, Pittsburgh lost @ Hawai’i 74-70 on their way to the Maui Invitational. Hawaii is probably not going to have the greatest season, so this loss could be costly to the Panthers. Fortunately for them, they play in the Maui Invitational this season as opposed to having their first 15 games of the season at home against RPI 300+ teams – as is usually the case for Pitt.
In a match-up of two upcoming Pack opponents, BC lead West Virginia by 11 at the half, but the Mountaineers rallied for a 4-point win, 70-66 in the Puerto Rico tip-off.
Danny Manning and Wake Forest are on a two game slide after losing at home to pretty decent Iona squad, 85-81.
Today’s action includes Davidson @ Cheats at 2pm and Duke taking on favorite son Johnny Dawkins and Stanford around 9:30pm in the Coaches vs. Cancer classic.
Enjoy the football and basketball everyone!
