TOUCHDOWN!!!

CHARLIE'S IN CHARGE!!!

KAELON BLACK -- THE VIRGINIA BEACH KID!!!

Dude was all over Sarratt.

OK. Let's put together a nice, long drive -- that ends with six points.

Good lord -- he's down.

Damn, third and 15. No bueno.

Fisher!

That's friggin' holding on the DB.

Kaelon Black -- the Virginia Beach kid!

No late hit there on 'Nando???

C'mon, fellas -- be disciplined.

Super Cooper!

Fisher got mauled on that return.

Make it a good one, 'Nando!

Let's roll!!!

GameDay picks Desmond Howard: Miami Nick Saban: Miami Marcus Freeman: Miami Pat McAfee: IU (no surprise there) Let's prove 'em wrong!

Stadium capacities Superdome: 83,000 Rose Bowl: 89,702 State Farm Stadium (Phoenix area): 71,000 AT&T Stadium (aka -- Jerry World): 80,000 (can get up to 100,000) NRG Stadium (Houston): 72,220 Mercedez-Benz Stadium (Atlanta): 71,000 (can go up to 75,000) Hard Rock Stadium: 65,326 Why is Miami in the title-game rotation?

Wonder what time actual kickoff is? The Oregon game was listed at 7:30, but when I turned it on then, it said something like: "Kickoff in 45 minutes." Just wanna know so I can figure when to order pizza. LOL.

Interesting stat ... The longest-tenured AFC East coach is ... at 372 days, Mike Vrabel!

Like just about every other game this season, I'll be watching from my couch. There will be pizza. There will be beer. Had to make back-to-back weekend trips to Charlotte recently (about a 5 1/2 hour drive). Was wearing IU hat and shirt and whenever I'd stop for gas or to get a bite, someone would comment on our season. In fact, at one gas station, I was filling up and a guy said: "Man, that Mendoza's the real deal." It took me a second or two to realize he was talking to me, then I remembered my IU hat and figured out to whom he was referring. That was between the Rose and Peach bowls. I said that indeed, Mendoza was having a great season and that I was still pinching myself after watching 40 years of pretty bad football. He said it was cool to see our success and hoped we would win it all. I hope so, too!

Almost looked like Moore quit on the route on that latest pick. Regardless, I think the Bears' magic has run out.

Bon Scott would be proud!

Billy Clyde was somewhat easy to fire, too. If memory serves, for some reason, wherever he went, he would never sign his contract.

Hearing the Alma Mater always makes my eyes a little misty. Could be the onions I'm cutting for my burger, however.
