*************************************
Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind and our first set of NHL trends…….
13) Astros 5, Red Sox 0:
— Houston wins ALCS, 4-2
— Yordan Alvarez went 4-4, scored twice.
— Luis Garcia allowed one hit in 5.2 IP.
12) July 30 of this year, Braves traded Pablo Sandoval to Cleveland for Eddie Rosario, who was hurt at the time. Weird trade; Rosario was hurt (he didn’t play for Atlanta until August 28), and the Indians immediately cut Sandoval. At the time, it seemed like a nothing trade.
Except that Rosario is 18-38 for Atlanta in the playoffs this month, batting leadoff since they lost Jorge Soler to COVID. He is a huge reason why the Braves lead the NLCS, 3-2.
11) There have been only five games in NFL history with no punts:
1992— Bills 34, 49ers 31
2003— Colts 38, Chiefs 31 (playoffs)
2014— Saints 44, Packers 23
2014— Packers 38, Bears 17
2021— Chiefs 42, Eagles 30
10) In the 5+ years since Peyton Manning retired, Denver Broncos have started 10 different quarterbacks, and it doesn’t look like they’ve found their guy yet. Ironic that a team run by John Elway can’t find a franchise QB.
9) Braves’ OF Joc Pederson is in his 8th major league season; must be quite a thrill for his dad to watch him play. Stu Pederson played in eight games for the Dodgers in 1985, getting five AB’s in his month in the major leagues- he scored a run and had an RBI, but never got a hit.
8) Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996; in 1999, the new Browns came into being. Baker Mayfield is the 30th QB to start for the Browns in 22+ seasons. Obviously, Case Keenum became starting QB #31 Thursday night.
7) Want to win a bar bet? Only one player EVER has hit for the cycle in a postseason game:
Brock Holt, in Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS, for Boston.
6) Las Vegas Raiders play home games on a grass field at Allegiant Stadium; the grass is wheeled outside the domed stadium afterwards, so it can get lot of sun.
When UNLV plays football at Allegiant Stadium, they play on an artificial turf field that is on the floor of the stadium- the grass field stays outside.
5) Wednesday night in New York, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics went 7-30 from the floor in a double OT loss to the Knicks. At some point, when you’re on your way to shooting 7 for 30, you have to stop taking off-balance jumpers and either drive the ball to the hoop or pass the damn thing.
Tatum only took five foul shots the whole game (he played 44:39) so he wasn’t doing a whole lot of driving. Just because you’re the best player doesn’t mean you always to take the key shots.
4) Speaking of the Knicks, they should wear the same uniforms they wore back when they won NBA titles in 1970 and ’73- the Walt Frazier/Willis Reed era. Uniforms they wore in the season opener looked like they were from the 50’s- not good.
3) AAC poached six teams away from Conference USA, giving the AAC team 14 teams when all the dust settles in couple of years. Not sure it makes the league better just makes it lot more attractive to TV networks that need programming.
School like Texas-El Paso is totally screwed right now; read on Twitter where they’re 800 miles away from their closest remaining C-USA rival. Miners need to hook up with the Mountain West or the Sun Belt, just so they have some affordable travel. Mountain West would be preferable.
I’m going to post NHL/NBA trends/stats every so often in this space; it is still way early in the season, but here’s what we’ve got so far. (stats are thru Thursday’s games)

*******************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a college football Saturday
13) Michigan State 37, Michigan 33:
— Walker ran for 191 yards, five TD’s; his 23-yard TD run with 5:08 left won the game.
— Michigan led 30-14 with 5:00 left in third quarter.
— Wolverines outgained State, 552-395- they had a 93-yard TD pass.
12) Houston 44, SMU 37:
— SMU tied game on a 45-yard FG with 0:30 left.
— Houston ran the ensuing kickoff back 100 yards for game-winning TD.
— Mustangs lose their first game; both teams are now 7-1.
— Houston QB Tune threw for 412 yards, four TD’s.
— Only 2nd time in last 15 years there was a game-winning kick return in last minute of a game.
11) Clemson 30, Florida State 20
— Early nominee for Bad Beat of the Decade. Seminoles (+9.5) have ball at end of game on their own 33, down 24-20. They throw a pass and start to lateral all over the field, but they go in the wrong direction, and Clemson runs an errant lateral into the end zone to cover the spread by half a point with the clock at 0:00.
If you laid 9.5 with Clemson, Happy Halloween.
10) Baylor 31, Texas 24:
— Baylor is 7-1; can they keep their coach from bolting?
— Texas led 21-10 with 5:00 left in third quarter.
— Longhorns are 4-4, not what they had in mind when they fired their coach LY.
9) Miami 38, Pittsburgh 34:
— Miami had TD plays of 20-57-40 yards in first quarter.
— Pitt QB Pickett threw for 519 yards in a losing cause.
— Panthers had 107 penalty yards, turned ball over twice.
8) West Virginia 38, Iowa State 31:
— Mountaineers outscored ISU 14-0 in 4th quarter.
— Cyclones had TD plays of 70-68 yards in first quarter.
— WVU had two receivers with 100+ receiving yards.
— Iowa State is 5-3, a disappointing team.
7) Upsets of the Week:
— Washington State (+16.5) 34, Arizona State 21
— Bowling Green (+13) 56, Buffalo 44
— Navy (+11) 20, Tulsa 17
— Miami (+9.5) 38, Pitt 34
— West Virginia (+7.5) 38, Iowa State 31
— Purdue (+7.5) 28, Nebraska 23
6) Georgia 34, Florida 7:
— Game was 3-0 near end of first half, then Florida’s offense imploded.
— Georgia scored three TD’s in 2:09 span late in first half to break game open.
— Dawgs’ first two TD drives were 11-36 yards; they also had a pick-6.
— Both teams turned ball over three times.
5) Wake Forest 45, Duke 7
— If Dave Clawson is still Wake’s coach next season, some athletic directors need to lose their jobs. This guy should have a better job. Demon Deacons are 8-0 for the first time ever; they’re the smallest school in country in a Power 5 conference.
4) Cincinnati 31, Tulane 12
— When the first poll comes out for the national playoff, will be interesting where the Bearcats land. They beat Notre Dame in South Bend, after all.
3) North Texas 30, Rice 24 OT:
— Owls tied game on 12-yard TD pass with 0:16 left.
— Rice outgained North Texas, 366-289, but had 109 penalty yards.
— Rice converted all four of their 4th down plays.
2) Old Dominion 23, Louisiana Tech 20:
— Monarchs kicked two FG’s in last 1:52.
— Nick Rice kicked 46-yarder at 0:00 for the win.
— ODU had a 100-yard kick return in first half.
1) Ohio State 33, Penn State 24:— Serious question; if James Franklin bolts Happy Valley for either LSU or USC, what %age of Penn State fans will be upset?
— Penn State lost last three games, by 3-2-9 points.
— Buckeyes outgained PSU 466-394.
— Nittany Lions converted 11-16 third down plays.
— Bears’ coach Matt Nagy won’t be coaching Sunday; he is in virus protocol.
— BYU 66, Virginia 49— Cavaliers led 42-38…..at halftime.
— Wizards 115, Celtics 112, 2OT— Boston was 2-25 on the arc.
— Pistons 110, Magic 103— Orlando was minus-22 with Anthony off floor.
— Knicks 123, Pelicans 117— New York is off to a fast 5-1 start.
— Braves 3, Astros 2— Atlanta leads World Series, 3-1.
