We were flipping through some games over the weekend and stopped on what we thought was the Purdue game.
But we thought ...
After the fluke win over the Giants, a game in which the visitor gave up six turnovers and still appeared to be the better ...
Will you look at this:
Tulsa at Bowling Green.
Virginia Tech versus Alabama.
LSU versus TCU.
Georgia at Clemson.
North ...
Live and learn, that's the secret of sports enjoyment.
Here are some British Open notes.
What's not to like about happy Phil winning a big one. He's a good family man, a rarity in the sports world.
Tiger reclaimed a place on the world's most unpleasant people list, screaming out profanities like a barfly. Why in the world doesn't golf suspend or fine him for this terrible behavior?
Whereas Europeans like Lee Driftwood and Poultry and Sergio are fine with their little happy dance routines in the Ryder Cup and those parlor games where golfers take turns hitting shots off one foot, or something like that, when it comes to dealing with man to man pressure they fade in the presence of good old Americans like smiling Phil.
Is Rory the next Duval? When this kid tees it up, take cover.
Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson are a couple of glorified hackers who hit a ton but fade in the spotlight.
Rickey Fowler continues to be thrown off balance by his goofy looking straight-bill hat. He has to swing too upright so the ugly hat won't fall off.
Adam Scott hits the ball better than anybody, but suffers with the grandpa style of putting that makes a three-footer a misadventure.
Being able to win a major tournament like the British Open without hitting a driver is comical. That tournament resembled croquet. Winning a major without hitting a driver is like winning the Super Bowl without completing a pass.
