September 3, 2022 News and Notes

  • There goes Cincinnati.  Lost to Arkansas in their opener.
  • There goes the entire post-USC/UCLA Pac-12.  Oregon got spanked so hard by Georgia, the only thing they really could say after the game is "We have better players."  And Oregon was a top-12 team.  Gee, you really want this 12-team CFP?    
  • And Utah, ranked seventh, fell in it's non-conference opener to Florida.
  • Robbery at the Virginia Tech-Old Dominion game -- another upset win for Old Dominion.  And items were taken from the Va Tech lockers.during the game.
  • The end of NXT UK was a meek affair for the Britons, as all of the American NXT champions won the unification matches at NXT Worlds Collide.
  • Two second-period goals gave Canada the women's world ice hockey championship today over the United States.
  • The United States was embarrassed by Mexico in the AmeriCup men's basketball tournament over the weekend -- then embarrassed again by Brazil's rainstorms.  Up huge over Venezuela, the game was stopped at halftime due to rain leaking onto the court.
  • Last day of the MLB season is a month from tomorrow -- Albert Pujols now at 695 home runs, one short of A-Fraud-Roid on the list and 5 short of 700.  St. Louis won with it -- 2-0 over the Cubs.
