Payout Perspective:

The ratings are off from UFC on ESPN 34 and served as a lead-in to Top Rank Boxing which did better than the UFC.  An interesting dip in ratings considering that it usually draws much better than boxing when the both are on the same night.  Of course, those nights usually occur the same night as a PPV.

High School coaches are too emotional

Joe Morel @joe_morel2398

Not sure if this is the head coach from Centennial, but this is unacceptable from any Coach during the post game handshake line! @Cehsfootball

Jim Mora never was a good coach, his dad was

Colorado State football is at a place where the care level is high but so is the tension… and may have reached a tipping point.
It is heated before halftime with Boise State up 29-10.

Not even a Miami fan but do you have to walk to the sidelines with the ball in your bosom for it to be a catch? He had caught the ball and even had two feet in before the ball was knocked out of bounds

The immaculate loss of possession

That should be a catch for Miami

She is African American, so I'm not sure that is who he wants...because, you know.

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol
