Lane Kiffin in a SEC Network interview says Mississippi State fans broke into their locker room at 3 a.m. and stole quarterback Trinidad Chambliss’ jersey. They know this because they set up cameras in the dressing room.

Posting a wild turkey photo every day until people yell at us to stop. Wild turkeys can run up to 25 miles per hour, which feels really fast for a bird shaped like a gym class dodgeball. 📸Heather Bell (sharetheexperience)

Multi-sport athletes for the win
The Edina Hornets football team just won their first Minnesota state championship since 1978 with the Chicago Blackhawks’ first-round draft pick playing his senior year at QB, and the hockey team’s goalie scoring 6 TDs in the title game. Play sports. Have fun. Nothing like it.

Historical reminder that the Ivy League invented the lawless football factory: v https://t.co/jvpj1uOVQm
Time to dance the Charleston and speculate wildly on the stock market. For the first time in a century, Ivy League football is going to get a shot at a national title. https://t.co/iheOxaVQhR

This season marks the first time that the conference will allow its teams to participate in a playoff. Whoever wins “The Game” on Saturday will have a chance to win a national title.

Wow. Buckeyes were unseeded. Irish were a No. 1 seed.
I spoke too soon… unranked Ohio State just eliminated #1 Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament with 34 seconds left in overtime… the irony

The "Tokyo Toe" learned to kick on YouTube, worked three years at a steakhouse in Japan to fuel his college-football dream and played junior college in Ohio. Now at Hawaii, Kansei Matsuzawa might be the nation's best kicker. https://t.co/MBAhffU9O2

Hawaii place-kicker Kansei Matsuzawa is within striking distance of becoming the first NFL player born and raised in Japan.

Great story. It's refreshing in an era where parents are pushing their kids for training, paying for third parties to help get recruited, this kid is all self taught. Leaned how to kick in YouTube. Trained in a park. Reached out to colleges on his own. Respect the grind!
NEW: 🏈 🇯🇵 Kansei Matsuzawa learned how to kick field goals on YouTube. Now at Hawaii, he might be the best kicker in college football. Even more amazing? He’s on track to be the first NFL player born and raised in Japan. https://t.co/G2o3yuG7xV
