************************************************

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends.

— Rangers 3, Orioles 2
Rookie OF Evan Carter reached base in nine of his first 10 postseason at-bats.
Both teams used six pitchers in this game.
Josh Jung homered for the Rangers.

— Astros 6, Twins 4
Verlander tossed six shutout IP, then the bullpen hung on.
Royce Lewis hit his third home run in three playoff games this week.
Altuve had no postseason RBI last year; he homered on his first AB in this game.

— Phillies 3, Braves 0
For some reason, Phillies used seven pitchers to throw a shutout.
Bryce Harper hit a home run.
Braves had only five hits, were 0-5 with RISP.

— Diamondbacks 11, Dodgers 2
Kershaw faced only eight hitters; six of them scored.
Dodger pitchers threw 100 pitches in the first three innings.
Tommy Pham had three hits before LA’s #9 hitter came to bat.

Upsets of the Week:
Georgia Tech (+20) 23, Miami 20
Oklahoma State (+11), Kansas State 21
UConn (+9.5) 38, Rice 31
Louisville (+6.5) 33, Notre Dame 20
Iowa State (+6.5) 27, TCU 14
Wyoming (+6) 24, Fresno State 19
Oklahoma (+5) 34, Texas 30
Nebraska (+3.5) 20, Illinois 7

— Word of the Day: Loyalty— showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or group of people, or an institution.

— Georgia Tech 23, Miami 20
Tech threw a 44-yard TD pass with 0:02 left for a dramatic win.
Miami had ball with 0:26 left; they could’ve taken a knee and ended the game, but they ran a play and the guy fumbled in Georgia Tech territory. Why did they run a play?!?!?!?!?
This is coaching malpractice by Mario Cristobal, a horrific mistake.
I can’t get over this; Cristobal makes freakin’ $8M a year and he is INCOMPETENT in game management. How does he look his players in the eye?

— Oklahoma 34, Texas 30
Sooners drove 75 yards, scored game-winning TD with 0:15 left.
In first 6:00 of game, Texas had successful fake punt, then blocked punt for TD.
Longhorns were minus-3 in turnovers.

— LSU 49, Missouri 39
LSU (-4) scored on pick-6 with 0:34 left; bad beat for Mizzou backers.
Total yardage in game: 533-527.
Mizzou QB Cook threw for 411 yards, but also threw two INT’s.

— Kansas 51, Central Florida 22
Kansas coach Leipold won six national titles at the D-3 level; then he went 37-33 at Buffalo (24-10 the last three years). Now he is 13-18 at Kansas, which doesn’t sound like much but in the seven years before he got to Lawrence, the Jayhawks were 15-88.
15 wins. 88 losses- they’re 5-1 this season. Leipold is a great coach.

— Texas-San Antonio 49, Temple 34
UTSA averaged 10.2 yards/pass attempt.
Temple QB EJ Warner was 42-65/472 passing, with 5 TD’s.
Owls converted 12-20 third down plays, but lost two fumbles.

— Iowa 20, Purdue 14
Iowa didn’t complete a pass to a wide receiver. None.
Purdue was 9-19 on third down, Hawkeyes 3-13.
Iowa outrushed Purdue, 181-96.

— NC State 48, Marshall 41
Thundering Herd led 24-21 at halftime.
Both teams turned ball over three times.
Wolfpack outscored Marshall 13-7 in fourth quarter.
Sun Belt plays good football; we need more of their games on TV.

— UCLA 25, Washington State 17
Bruins outscored Wazzu 13-0 in fourth quarter.
UCLA outgained the Coogs 470-216.
Wazzu turned ball over four times, was 2-13 on third down.

— Colorado 27, Arizona State 24
ASU tied the game 24-all on a TD with 0:50 left.
Colorado kicked a 43-yard FG with 0:12 left.
Sun Devils outgained Colorado, 392-295.

— Louisville 33, Notre Dame 20
Game was 7-7 at halftime.
Notre Dame converted 3-13 third down plays.
Louisville outrushed Notre Dame 185-44.

— Ole Miss 27, Arkansas 20
Ole Miss outscored Arkansas 10-0 over final 8:00.
Rebels ran for 196 yards, threw for only 153.
Arkansas was minus-2 in turnovers, had 10 penalties for 70 yards.

— I still can’t get over this; Miami would’ve been 5-0 if they simply took a knee. Mario Cristobal makes freakin’ $8M a year and he is INCOMPETENT in game management. How does he look his players in the eye?
Hire a nerdy guy to stand next to you, and tell you what to do at the end of games, so you can keep your $8M a year job. Recruiting is one thing, coaching is quite another.

Tuesday’s 6-pack:
My six favorite Billy Joel songs:
— Piano Man
— And So It Goes
— She’s Got a Way
— This is the Time
— Only the Good Die Young
— The Stranger

Tweet of the Day
“What we did at the end was the wrong decision. I called it … it was the wrong thing to do.”
Miami Hurricanes’ OC Shannon Dawson, after they screwed up the end of Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech.

Tuesday’s quiz
Before they moved to Texas in 1972, where did the Texas Rangers call home?

Monday’s quiz
Jimmy Garoppolo, Sean Payton and Tony Romo all played their college football at the same school, Eastern Illinois.

Sunday’s quiz
In 2007-08, Lane Kiffin went 5-15 as head coach of the Oakland Raiders.

**********************************************

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..

— YouTube TV had a split-screen of the Packers-Raiders game and Arizona-Dodgers baseball game Monday night, and for that, I thank them.

— Raiders 17, Packers 13:
Love completed only 16-30 passes, threw 3 INTs.
Green Bay’s only TD came on a 37-yard drive in third quarter.
Last three weeks, Packers were outscored 54-6 in first half.
Green Bay has outscored opponents 38-0 on 1st drive of a half.
Raiders drove 75 yards, scoring game-winning TD on 1st play of 4th quarter.
Garoppolo is 42-19 as an NFL starting QB.
Las Vegas is 13-9-1 ATS last 23 games with spread of 3 or less.
Raiders scored 17-10-18-17-17 points in first five games.

— This was the first NFL game since 1987 where the two kickers are brothers; Daniel and Anders Carlson.

— Braves 5, Phillies 4
Phillies led 4-0 in sixth inning.
Riley’s 2-run homer in 8th inning was game-winner.
series is tied, 1-1.

— Arizona 4, Dodgers 2
Zac Gallen threw 5.1 IP, gave up two runs.
Lourdes Gurriel was 2-4, with two RBI
Diamondbacks lead series, 2-0.

— Arizona-USC played football until 2:30am Saturday night in Los Angeles, with the Trojans finally winning 43-41 in overtime.
Here’s the thing: Arizona coach Jedd Fisch, who is doing a very good job rebuilding the program in Tucson, he didn’t know the overtime rules.
In the second round of overtime, teams have to go for two points after a touchdown— Arizona had to waste a timeout because they weren’t aware of that part of the OT rules. No bueno.

— There are 14 unbeaten teams left in college football.

— Tough couple of weeks for LSU’s defense; in their last two games, LSU has given up 94 points and 1,233 yards. Tigers lost 55-49 at Ole Miss, won 49-39 at Missouri- they host Auburn this week.

— Term of the Day: Zamboni— a vehicle that is used to clean and smooth the surface of a sheet of ice, usually in an ice rink. Frank Zamboni invented the first one in 1949, in Paramount, CA.
NHL season starts tonight, lot of Zambonis are getting warmed up.

— Pretty cool moment at Pepperdine’s open basketball practice Friday night, when the school’s President took a half-court shot. If he made it, a student got free tuition for a year, and sure enough, the President swished his shot— the players on the basketball team mobbed him, and a lucky student gets free tuition for this school year.

— Rick Pitino is the new coach at St John’s; hard to believe that the Red Storm hasn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 2000. Pitino will have St John’s in the top 25 this season.

— Memphis Tigers have a 6-11 C named Jordan Brown who is in this fifth year of college basketball. He’s had an interesting journey:
2019— Nevada-Reno
2020— transferred, sat out
2021— Arizona
2022-23— Louisiana— scored 19.3 ppg LY for the Ragin’ Cajuns
This is his 4th school in six years, in four different conferences. Someday, he should write what would be a very interesting book.

— Speaking of AAC teams, Temple is in the AAC; their closest rival in that league is Charlotte, which according to Mapquest, is 540 miles away from Philadelphia.

— Apparently, Cam Newton turned down $5.5M to be a backup QB with the Jets; Newton is 34 now, hasn’t played an NFL game in two years.

— Denver Broncos traded DE Randy Gregory to the 49ers last week; Denver is paying Gregory $10M this year, the 49ers are paying him the veteran minimum. Gregory has three years left on his contract, but none of that $$$ is guaranteed, so if they’re not happy with him, they can just let him walk.

— Over the last 30 years, only three football teams from the Big 14 Conference have started a season 0-6 against the spread:
2009- Illinois
2015- Michigan State
2023- Illinois

— Saturday was a busy day in Baltimore; Orioles hosted a playoff game during the day, which was delayed by rain, then Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks had a concert that night in the nearby Ravens’ Stadium. Pretty good day of entertainment.
Singer Joan Jett performed the national anthem before the baseball game; she has always been a very big Orioles’ fan.

— If you have Sirius radio, channel 105 is the Billy Joel channel, for the rest of this month. All of his best songs, with lot of stories from his great career mixed in. Well worth listening to.

— New Jersey Giants have struggled in the first half of games this season:
Week 1- trailed 26-0 at half. Ran 36 plays for 89 yards- gave up a pick-6 and TD on a blocked field goal.
Week 2- trailed 20-0 at half. Ran 26 plays for 76 yards.
Week 3- trailed 17-6 at half. Ran 26 plays for 88 yards.
Week 4- trailed 14-3 at half. Ran 38 plays for 155 yards.
Week 5- trailed 17-10 at half. Ran 34 plays for 115 yards- only TD was scored by the defense.

— Please God, let this be true; Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob would be ‘very interested’ in buying the Oakland A’s, if the cheap bastard who owns the team now decides to sell. Lacob would at least try to win, that’s all I ask for.

Quote of the Day
“First lesson in business is: Don’t get emotional about stock, it clouds your judgment.”
Gordon Gekko, from Wall Street

Thursday’s quiz
Who led the NBA in scoring last season?

Wednesday’s quiz
NFL QB’s Patrick Mahomes/Jared Goff have fathers who played major league baseball.

Tuesday’s quiz
Before they moved to Texas in 1972, the Texas Rangers were the Washington Senators.

***************************************************

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud……..

— Astros 3, Twins 2
Brantley, Abreu homered for Houston.
Astros’ bullpen got ten outs, didn’t allow a run.
Astros move on, will play Texas in the ALCS.

— Phillies 10, Braves 2
Harper hit two homers, knocked in four runs.
Castellanos hit two solo homers.
Phillies lead series, 2-1.

— Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 0
Arizona hit four solo home runs in the third inning.
They’re first team EVER to hit four HR’s in one inning of a playoff game.
In series, LA starters allowed 13 runs in 8.2 IP.

— With the new rules this year, notably the pitch clock, the need for 3-man broadcast booths isn’t there anymore. There is a lot less time in between pitches; you don’t need two analysts jockeying for time to get their thoughts in.
Maybe one answer is to have two analysts and no play-by-play guy, maybe that would work, as long as one of the analysts had enough experience to read all the promos they show during a typical game.

— Texas-El Paso 27, Florida International 13
Miners ran out to a 21-0 lead in first quarter.
UTEP averaged 16.8 yards/pass attempt.
FIU ran 34 times for only 91 yards; they were 2-11 on third down.

— New Mexico State 27, Sam Houston State 13
Aggies led 27-0 at halftime.
New Mexico State threw TD passes of 78, 12 yards.
Sam Houston is in its first season of I-A football; they’re now 0-6.

— Bruins 3, Blackhawks 1— Chicago was only NHL team to get a back/back on the first two nights of the season- they split the two games.

— Word of the Day: grifter— a person who swindles people out of money.

— Last week, Indianapolis Colts gave RB Jonathan Taylor a 3-year, $42M contract, with $26,5M guaranteed; he is now the 3rd-highest paid RB in the NFL, after Christian McCaffrey/Alvin Kamara.

— In five games, Detroit Lions have had 27 plays of 20+ yards; 19 of those 27 plays came on 1st and 10— are they just being more aggressive than other teams on first down?

— In their last three games, New England Patriots have had 38 series; they’ve gotten inside their opponent’s 20-yard line on one of those 38 drives, and kicked a FG on that one. Last two games, New England went 3/out on 13 of 25 drives.

— In five games, Cincinnati Bengals have only six plays of 20+ yards; their opponents have 20.

— Last three games, Green Bay Packers were outscored 54-6 in the first half.

— Oklahoma WR Andrel Anthony hurt his knee, is out for the year; Anthony has 27 catches for 429 yards and a touchdown, after transferring to the Sooners, from Michigan.

— Former NFL QB Brock Osweiler is a college football game analyst on ESPN now; he’s pretty good. Osweiler works with Dave Flemming, one of the best play/play guys, so that helps, but he had the Arizona-USC game late Saturday night and he was interesting to listen to.
Lot of times, analysts get overly excited and rattle on endlessly during close games, but Osweiler was explaining stuff while giving his partner space to call the game.
