The only FBS team with a lower field goal percentage than Arizona State this year is ... Notre Dame.

I don’t watch trophy celebrations as a general rule, but I absolutely will for the #PopTartsBowl

Live, edible mascot. Working toaster in the trophy. Sprinkles on the sideline. The Pop-Tarts Bowl, a MASTERCLASS in branding and embracing the unique facets that make college football great.

I can get behind this OT format for a bowl game where nothing matters.

People clamoring these teams aren't worthy for the playoff are just talking to hear themselves talk.. Of the 30 previous CFP games, 18 of them have been won by 17+ points and that's with a 4 team field. 5 of the natties have been 21+ point blowouts, its just college football..

Or We decide to split FBS into a 30 team league and a division for everyone else. But saying an 11 win team shouldn’t have made the playoff because they didn’t win their playoff game is just stupid.

I keep seeing all these arguments now that Indiana shouldn’t have been a playoff team because it lost by 10. Either the BIG is an elite conference or it isn’t. Either the games on the field matter or they don’t. Either we should embrace non-traditional teams getting a chance

We have now reached the portion of the Auburn/A&M game where the dumbest rule in sports will decide it. “Rock, paper scissors could work.” No - we need something dumber and more arbitrary.

Very few universal truths in this world but here's one: You do NOT want to be released to sober wife.
Responded to an intoxicated subject. Section 232. Released to sober wife. Ejected. #BTHOmissouri

Almost 25 years to the day that Texas Tech's Leigh Daniel lost her shoe early in the women's 10,000-meter before putting it back on and going onto win the national title on June 4, 1999.
ABSOLUTE gutsy effort from Ernest Cheruiyot as he finishes 4th in the 10k with a time of 28:10.81 He ran the FINAL LAST TWO LAPS with one spike
