Since start of last season, Green Wave is 19-3 straight up; would expect to see coach Willie Fritz mentioned for job openings in bigger $$$ leagues later this year.
Rice QB JT Daniels will be an interesting player when the NFL Draft rolls around next spring; he’s had quite the journey thru college:
2018-19— USC— started in 2018
2020-21— Georgia— was mostly the backup there
2022— West Virginia— started there
2023— Rice— Owls are 4-4; their last winning season was in 2014.

Quote of the Day
“He’s a really talented guy, but this is his first year. He’s still learning everything: the game, how quick it is, where is (he at) an advantage, where is [he at] a disadvantage. I think he needs to be a little bit fatter, to be honest. But yes, he has a talent that is unique.”
Nikola Jokic, talking about Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren

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

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

— When I was a kid, two guys in our neighborhood drove Cadillacs; the guy who owned a funeral parlor, and the guy who owned a beer distributorship.
There’s a lesson in there for kids; get into a line of work where you’ll never, ever run out of customers. Dying and drinking fit that description.

— Monday was the Sports Equinox, the only day in 2023 where all four pro sports were in action on the same day. Only the 29th time it has ever happened.

— Saturday night in Fort Collins, Colorado State was penalized after their fans threw snowballs at the Air Force bench during the Falcons’ 30-13 win. Problem is, the game was 13-13 when the snowballs were thrown; Air Force scored a touchdown on the drive after the penalty.

— NHL has struck gold with their Stadium Series games, where teams play outdoors; they draw very large crowds. Flames-Oilers in Edmonton Sunday drew 55,411 fans.

— Lions 26, Raiders 14
Lions outgained the Raiders, 486-157.
Detroit won/covered five of its last six games.
Under Campbell, Detroit is 7-2 ATS as a home favorite.
Under Campbell, Lions are 29-12-1 ATS overall.
Raiders in 2nd half: 22 plays, 76 yards, no points.
Raiders’ only TD in 2nd half was 75-yard pick-6 by Peters.
Las Vegas lost last three road games, by 28-17-18-12 points.
Raiders’ team total: under 8-0
— Through eight weeks of the NFL season, seven rookie QB’s have started a game, the most of any year in the Super Bowl era.

Rangers 3, Diamondbacks 1
Texas scored 3 runs in 2nd inning; Seager hit a 2-run homer.
Scherzer left after three innings with a bad back.
Texas bullpen got 18 outs, allowed only one run.
Rangers lead series, 2-1

— Rangers’ OF Adolis Garcia left the game with left side tightness.

— It is good to watch the World Series live again; this time last year, I had DirecTV and they were at war with the local FOX station, so no live baseball— watched the replays of the World Series at 2:30am on MLB Network. Watching them live is more fun.

— Whoever invented the multi-view, with football game/baseball game next to each other on the same screen, that person deserves a raise, a big raise.

— In case you were wondering, there have been 20,533 major league baseball players; it is difficult to make it to the big leagues, even harder to stay there.

— Word of the Day: Camaraderie— Mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

— College football conference trends:
AAC— home favorites are 5-11 ATS, home underdogs are 4-8.
ACC— home underdogs are 10-4 ATS
Big X— home favorites are 12-9 ATS, home underdogs are 9-4
Big 14— home underdogs are 3-11 ATS
C-USA— home favorites are 5-8 ATS, home underdogs are 2-8
MAC— home favorites are 6-8 ATS, home underdogs are 3-7
Mountain West— home favorites are 6-8 ATS, home underdogs are 5-7
Pac-12— home underdogs are 10-4 ATS
SEC— home favorites are 13-7 ATS, home underdogs are 4-10
Sun Belt— home favorites are 8-12 ATS.

— Iowa-Northwestern total for this week is 29.5, the lowest college football total on record. Five of the six meetings in this series stayed under the total. This game is in Chicago, not Evanston.
Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, the head coach’s son, will finish out this season, then take a hike, the school announced Monday. Nice way of saying he got fired.

— NFL divisional trends:
NFC East teams are 12-9 ATS outside the division.
NFC North teams are 9-12-1 ATS outside the division.
NFC South teams are 7-14-1 ATS outside the division.
NFC West home teams are 6-3 ATS outside the division.
AFC East underdogs are 3-5 ATS outside the division.
Underdogs are 5-0 ATS in AFC North divisional games.
AFC South underdogs are 11-5 ATS outside the division.
AFC West underdogs are 0-5 ATS outside the division.

— UNLV’s football program is 6-2, their best year in a long time; it turns out that the last time UNLV went thru an entire season with the same starting QB was 1996, when John Denton was the Rebels’ quarterback. Thats a lot of instability at a very important position.

— San Jose State shut Hawai’i out 35-0 Saturday; it was the first time since 1998 that Hawai’i was shut out at home.

— I’m curious about the mechanics of the transfer portal; who contacts who? If Player A wants to bolt his current school, does he have people contract other schools, or do schools contract players who want to bolt? Or both?

— If the World Series goes seven games, Game 7 is Saturday night on FOX, the same time as the Alabama-LSU football game on CBS. Good time for multi-view on YouTube TV.

— Chiefs-Dolphins play Sunday morning at 9:30, in Germany; was this a good idea, having one of the marquis matchups of the season at 9:30am?
Kansas City wanted the game to be in Germany; every team has to play an international game once every eight years, and the Chiefs wanted their game to be in Germany since they have global marketing rights there.

— NFL trades (trade deadline is Tuesday at 4:00):
Giants traded DE Leonard Williams to Seattle, for a 2nd and 5th-round draft pick.
Philadelphia traded DT Kentavius Street and a 2025 7th-round pick to Atlanta, for a 2024 6th-round pick.

— Cardinals benched QB Joshua Dobbs; rookie Clayton Tune will start this week in Cleveland, unless Kyler Murray is deemed healthy enough to make his return from ACL surgery.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings………

— I’m wondering about how they compute TV ratings; Monday night, I had the split-screen on YouTubeTV the whole night, with the Raiders-Lions game on one side and the World Series game on the other.

Does each game get half-credit for me watching them? Inquiring minds would like to know.

— Rangers 11, Diamondbacks 7
Texas scored 5 runs in 2nd inning, 5 more in third.
Marcus Semien scored twice, knocked in five runs.
Rangers are now 10-0 on road in the playoff.
Texas leads series 3-1, can win first World Series title tonite.

From July 8-August 11, Arizona had the worst record in the major leagues, but they still made it this far, so even if they lose this World Series, they’ve had an excellent season.

— Around 1:10am, it came across the Interweb that the Las Vegas Raiders fired both their coach and general manager.

Raiders lost 26-14 in Detroit Monday night; game wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicated. Las Vegas is 3-5 this year, 9-16 in its 1.5 years under coach Josh McDaniels.

McDaniels is now 20-33 in two head coaching stops, Las Vegas/Denver; he didn’t finish his second season in either place. Another guy who got rich because he knows Tom Brady, who ironically, is now a minority owner of the Raiders.

— Central Michigan 37, Northern Illinois 31
Chippewas led 24-3 at halftime on a snowy night in Michigan.
Northern Illinois gained 506 yards, but was 0-10 on third down.
CMU ran the ball 47 times for 331 yards; they were +3 in turnovers.

— Toledo 31, Buffalo 13
Toledo ran the opening kickoff back 97 yards for a TD.
Rockets are 8-1; they turned ball over four times, were 3-10 on third down.
Buffalo completed only 14-41 passes on a snowy night in Ohio.

— NFL trading deadline was Tuesday- there were 15 trades:
Arizona traded QB Joshua Dobbs to the Vikings, who lost Kirk Cousins for the year Sunday. This week, Cardinals will probably start rookie QB Clayton Tune in Cleveland.

Washington traded DE Chase Young to the 49ers for a 3rd round draft pick.

Washington also traded DE Montez Sweat to Chicago for a 2nd round pick— Commanders now have five picks in the first three rounds of April’s draft, the first time in the last 60 years they’ve had that many draft picks in Rounds 1-3.

Minnesota traded G Ezra Cleveland to the Jaguars for a 6th-round pick.

— Word of the Day: precipice— a situation in which someone is very close to disaster or failure.

Diamondbacks are on the precipice of defeat today, down 3-1 in World Series.

— Time flies; college basketball season starts Monday. Earlier this week, Louisville lost an exhibition game to D2 Kentucky Wesleyan 71-68, which hasn’t increased the optimism for the upcoming season any.

Louisville was 4-28 last year after an 0-9 start; they were 24-7 under Chris Mack only four years ago, so the natives are restless. This is a school with a tremendous basketball tradition; another dismal season like last year, and it would seem that a coaching change will happen.

— Spurs 115, Warriors 114— San Antonio stole the ball and got a layup with 0:01.2 left, giving the Spurs a great comeback win— they trailed by 20 points at one time. The layup/steal was the only time the whole game San Antonio was in the lead.

— Now that James Harden has been traded, here is a look at some of the highlights of the 76ers’, Clippers’ payrolls:

76ers
Joel Embiid $47,600,000
Tobias Harris $39,270,150
Marcus Morris $17,116,279— doesn’t start
Nicolas Batum $11,710,818— doesn’t start
Robert Covington $11,692,308— figures to start

Clippers
Paul George $45,640,084
Kawhi Leonard $45,640,084
James Harden $35,640,000
Norman Powell $18,000,000- doesn’t start
Ivica Zubac $10,933,333

If you have a son with some athletic ability, buy him a hoop, a ball and tell him to practice. A lot.

— They announced the college football playoff rankings Tuesday night:
Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Florida State

Then there are the Caesar’s Palace odds to win the playoff:
Michigan, Georgia, Florida State, Ohio State

— If the NFL Draft were today, the first five picks would be:
Cardinals
Bears (from Carolina)
Bears
Giants
Patriots

— Showtime wrapped up the great series Billions over the weekend: seven seasons over eight years, 84 episodes. Excellent series; if you haven’t seen it, it is worth finding on Showtime Anytime.

I’m envious that the writers are so creative, they come up with great story lines and references from all walks of life. Has to be difficult to decide how to end a series like this; they chose the nice way- the two main characters hated each other for 80 episodes, then were civil with each other the last 3-4 shows, which seemed odd.

— Raiders’ WR Davante Adams was targeted seven times Monday night, caught only one pass for 11 yards. To put it mildly, he wasn’t happy on the sidelines, which is probably a factor in the coaching/GM change that happened in Las Vegas Tuesday night.

Quote of the Day
“I mean, obviously it sucks that we have to travel nine hours for a home game when Arrowhead is right down the street. But obviously we do have other fans that are all over the world, not just in the United States. So it gives them the opportunity to see some of their favorite players play.”
Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, on traveling to Germany for this week’s game

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

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

— Rangers 5, Diamondbacks 0
Texas won despite not having a hit in the first six innings.
Eovaldi tossed six shutout innings for the Rangers.
Semien hit a two-run homer; Seager was Series MVP. .
Rangers get their first-ever World Series title.
— Fourth World Series ring as a manager for Bruce Bochy, who needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, like tomorrow. He has a career record of 20-10 in one-run games in the playoffs.

— Bowling Green 24, Ball State 21
Falcons kicked a 22-yard FG with 3:14 left for the win.
Bowling Green led 14-7 at halftime.
Ball State was 8-13 on 3rd down, Falcons were 4-13.
Bowling Green was +2 in turnovers.

— Akron 31, Kent State 27
1-8 Kent State led 26-10 after three quarters.
Zips drove 57 yards, scored 5-yard TD with 0:26 left for the win.
Kent State averaged 10 yards/pass attempt.
Akron QB Undercuffer was 23-39/298 passing, with 2 TD’s.

— Raiders are starting rookie QB Aiden O’Connell against the Giants Sunday, his 2nd NFL start. So, in the last 72 hours, Raiders have……….
Fired their coach
Fired their GM
Fired their offensive coordinator.
Benched their quarterback.
Somehow, they’re favored against the Giants this week.

— Since 2003, 35 NFL head coaches have been fired during the season; teams that fired the coach are 16-19 SU/19-16 ATS in their first game with the interim coach, but I’m guessing most of them were underdogs.

— Word of the Day: Integrity— being honest and having strong principles.

— Falcons have benched QB Desmond Ridder; Taylor Heinicke will start at home this week against the Vikings. Heinicke has a 12-12-1 record as an NFL starter.

— college football teams who have gone over the total the most this year:
8-0— LSU
8-1— USC, Vanderbilt
7-1— New Mexico
6-1-1— Boston College
7-2— UMass

— college football teams with best records ATS:
7-1— Arizona, UNLV
6-1-1— Oregon, Rutgers
4-2— Miami, OH

— Odds on the Clippers to win the NBA title dropped from 22-1 to 14-1 after they acquired James Harden this week.

— West Virginia’s new point guard, Kerr Kriisa, is suspended for the first nine games this season, after he admitted to accepting impermissible benefits at Arizona. Kriisa scored 9.9 ppg and dished out 5.1 assists/game for the Wildcats last year.

— I’m looking forward to voting next week, but not because of elections or politics or any of that nonsense; we have a new polling place this year, the grade school I graduated from 50 years ago, and it’ll fun to be in the old building again.
Plus, lot of times they have bake sales at polling places; bake sales are a good thing.

— From the “time flies” department: College basketball season starts Monday night, so things will get very busy at Armadillo World HQ. November is a fun time of year.
