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

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

— College basketball referee John Higgins has been busy the last week:
January 24— Penn State @ Rutgers
January 25— Utah State @ San Diego State— Long plane ride for a back/back
January 26— Utah @ Oregon State
January 28— California @ Stanford
January 29— Michigan State @ Purdue— Day game after long plane ride.
January 30— Baylor @ Texas— Six games in seven days, that’s a lot of running.

— Didn’t take long for Kellen Moore to find a new job; fired by the Cowboys Sunday night, Moore quickly landed as the Chargers’ new offensive coordinator.

Speaking of the Chargers, QB Justin Herbert recently had surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

— 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy tore the UCL in his elbow Sunday, the injury is expected to keep him out for six months, so he’ll probably miss the start of training camp.

— Chiefs-Eagles last met in Week 4 last season, with Kansas City winning 42-30; Tyreek Hill caught 11 passes for 186 yards and three TD’s. Hill is in Miami now, of course. Jalen Hurts threw for 387 yards and two TD’s in that game.

— NFL salary cap is expected to go up to $224.8M next year, an increase of $16.6M per team.

Virginia 67, Syracuse 62— Not sure why, but Jalen Hurts was in the Carrier Dome for this game. Virginia wins its 7th game in a row; they trailed by 4 with 8:22 left to play.

Texas Tech 80, Iowa State 77 OT— Red Raiders were down 59-36 with 12:38 left in this game; they outscored Iowa State 26-12 on the foul line, rallied to get their first conference win after an 0-8 start in Big X play. Cyclones were only 12-21 on the foul line.

Texas 76, Baylor 71— 30+ NBA scouts watched the Longhorns snap Baylor’s six-game winning streak; Sir’Jabari Rice scored 21 points in 24:00 off the bench for Texas.

Wizards 127, Spurs 106— Washington had lost its previous 22 visits to San Antonio; their last win in the Alamo was December 11, 1999.

— College QB Sam Huard transferred from the Washington Huskies to I-AA Cal Poly; Sheldon Cross, Huard’s high school coach at Kennedy Catholic HS was recently hired as the offensive coordinator of the Mustangs. Huard’s dad is former NFL QB Damon Huard, who started four games for the Seahawks in 2000.

Wednesday’s 6-pack

Nevada casinos made a lot of $$$ in December:
$258.7M— Penny slots
$131.2M— Blackjack
$148M— Baccarat
$55.2M— Sports betting
$41.9M— Roulette
$41.3M— Craps

Quote of the Day
“I gave that [acceptance] speech every day in my car for the Arizona State job for 13 years to and from the office. I’d be pulling up to a light talking to myself. People would be looking at me. They’d think I was crazy.”
Arizona State’s new football coach, Ken Dillingham

Wednesday’s quiz
When was the last time the NFL MVP also won the Super Bowl that season?

Tuesday’s quiz
Mick Cronin was UCLA’s basketball coach the last time the Bruins made the Final Four; they made it two years ago.

Monday’s quiz
First time Minnesota Vikings played in a Super Bowl, Joe Kapp was their QB, in Super Bowl IV

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

— Our daily update on college basketball referee John Higgins’ schedule:
January 24— Penn State @ Rutgers
January 25— Utah State @ San Diego State— Long plane ride for a back/back
January 26— Utah @ Oregon State
January 28— California @ Stanford
January 29— Michigan State @ Purdue— Day game after long plane ride.
January 30— Baylor @ Texas
January 31— Kansas State @ Kansas- Seven games in eight nights, that’s a lot of running.

— Denver Broncos sent their 1st round pick in April’s draft, plus a 2nd-round pick in 2024 to New Orleans, for coach Sean Payton and a 3rd-round pick in 2024.

Payton had a 152-89 record coaching the Saints, 9-8 in playoff games, winning the Super Bowl after the 2009 season. Now he gets to coach Russell Wilson, which should be interesting.

— Tuesday morning, Denver was 40-1 to win next year’s Super Bowl; now they’re 28-1.

— Houston Texans hired 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans as their new head coach; he’ll be the Texans’ 4th head coach in four years, which helps explain why he got a 6-year contract.

Last three years, Texans are 11-38-1; the Deshaun Watson debacle made things worse. They probably shouldn’t have fired Bill O’Brien, who was 54-52 coaching Houston, making playoffs four times in seven seasons.

— Tennessee Titans used 91 players in 2021, have had injury issues at home, so they’re changing their home field from natural grass to an artificial surface that they’ve tried out at their practice facility. Tennessee players endorsed the artificial surface, so the change is being made.

— Buffalo QB Josh Allen cited an elbow injury for pulling out of the Pro Bowl Games this week in Las Vegas; he’ll be playing in the Pebble Beach pro-am golf tournament instead.

— Underdogs are 7-4 against spread in the last eleven Super Bowls.

— I’ve had YouTube TV for 2-3 weeks now; here is some news.

Good news first: If you’re watching a TV show/movie, then turn the TV off to go out or whatever you do, when you turn the TV back on, you can resume watching that show. Thats a good thing.

Not-so-good— Apparently YouTube TV and MLB Network are at war, so that station is off my TV for the indefinite future. March is the only month where MLB Network is important; they show a ton of spring training games, plus the World Baseball Classic, but I’ll be in Las Vegas for a good chunk of March, so its not that big a deal.

More good news— Apparently the YES Network is going to be available on YouTube TV, so if you like the Bronx baseball team, their games will be available. I had been told that the YES Network wasn’t available on YouTube, so that is a good change.

— Former Braves’ TV guy Chip Caray is taking over as the television play-by-play voice of the St. Louis Cardinals, the team his grandfather Harry Caray worked for 50 years ago.

Chip Caray worked for the Braves for the past 20 years; he’s made himself into a much better announcer than he used to be. Pretty good upgrade for the Cardinals.

— January 31 is a pretty strong day for baseball birthdays: Ernie Banks, Nolan Ryan and Jackie Robinson.

— Tampa Bay Rays signed 3B Yandy Diaz to a 3-year, $24M deal. Diaz hit .296 with an .824 OPS last year, scoring 71 runs while knocking in 57.

— Georgetown Hoyas have lost 29 of their last 30 Big East games, but they have beaten the spread in their last four games, so at least they’re competing.

— I’ve thought about this a lot recently; think I’d be in favor of legalizing offensive goaltending in college basketball. Would just make the game easier to officiate.

TCU 76, West Virginia 72— Mountaineers are 7-22 in their last 29 Big X games; they’re shooting 29.3% on arc in conference games this season.

Kansas 90, Kansas State 78— Wildcats shot 34% inside arc, made 31-36 on foul line. Kansas made 11-27 on arc, 25-35 on foul line, as they avenged an earlier loss to K-State.

Akron 81, Buffalo 64— Zips made 12-18 on arc; they’ve won seven games in a row, and are tied for first place in the MAC with………

Toledo 81, Miami OH 78—……….the Rockets, who were bailed out of a tough road game by RayJ Dennis, who scored 29 points, with six assists.

Nevada 75, San Diego State 66— Wolf Pack shot 60.6% inside arc, turned ball over only six times; they’re 35-28 in Mountain West games in Steve Alford’s four years in Reno, but they haven’t gotten to the NCAA’s in his time there (they would have in 2020, had the tournament been played).

Loss drop San Diego State into a tie for first place with Boise State.

Quote of the Day
“Bobby was one of the best judges of football talent in NFL history. For most, that alone would be enough. For Bobby Beathard, it doesn’t nearly do the man justice. Bobby was who we all aspire to be — a friendly, caring, giving, thoughtful human being who brought people from all walks of life together….…”
LA Chargers owner Dean Spanos

Thursday’s quiz
If you’re watching a college basketball game in Mackey Arena, who is the home team?

Wednesday’s quiz
1999 was the last time the NFL MVP also won the Super Bowl that season, when Hall of Famer Kurt Warner led the Rams to their first Super Bowl title.

Tuesday’s quiz
Mick Cronin was UCLA’s basketball coach the last time the Bruins made the Final Four; they made it two years ago.

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

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

— Our daily update on college basketball referee John Higgins:
January 24— Penn State @ Rutgers
January 25— Utah State @ San Diego State— Long plane ride for a back/back
January 26— Utah @ Oregon State
January 28— California @ Stanford
January 29— Michigan State @ Purdue— Day game after long plane ride.
January 30— Baylor @ Texas
January 31— Kansas State @ Kansas
February 1— Northern Iowa @ Drake- A double overtime game!!! Eight games in nine nights, and a double overtime game on the 9th night.

— In the NCAA Tournament, officials get $2,500 for first and second-round games, $3,000 for regionals and $3,500 for the Final Four. NCAA picks up their expenses during March Madness.

— Wednesday’s Wizards-Pistons game was postponed because cruddy weather in Dallas kept the Pistons in Texas, instead of going home.

Kentucky Wildcats won in Oxford Tuesday; they stayed there overnight because of an ice storm in Mississippi.

— Arena Football League announced plans to re-boot in 2024, with a 16-team league playing a 10-game schedule.

— Seattle Mariners signed utility man Dylan Moore to a 3-year deal worth $8.875M. He’s played seven different positions in his time with Seattle.

Florida 67, Tennessee 54— Vols shot 27.9%; they scored average of 61.5 ppg in their four losses. Tennessee led 44-38 with 10:40 left, but they folded down the stretch. Alabama now has a 2-game lead in the SEC.

Xavier 85, Providence 83 OT— Xavier blew a 14-point lead, survived 13-23 shooting on foul line to remain tied with Marquette atop the Big East.

Drake 88, Northern Iowa 81 2OT— Drake was down 11 with 11:53 left in regulation; they rally to win, are now in a 4-way tie for first stop the Missouri Valley Conference.

Top eight teams in MVC are all either 9-4 or 8-5; should be quite a conference tournament.

Murray State 83, Belmont 82— Racers outscored Belmont 14-9 over the final 5:52 to avenge an earlier loss; Belmont loses despite making 13-27 shots on the arc.Ben Sheppard scored 35 points in 35:00 in a losing cause.

Oklahoma State 71, Oklahoma 61— Sooners lost their last four Big X games, but mixed in there they pounded on Alabama, 93-69, which makes no sense.

Pitt 65, North Carolina 64— Panthers have won five of their last six games; they’ve now won their last three visits to Chapel Hill.

Southern Utah 72, Cal Baptist 71— All five starters scored in double figures for SUU, which has now won six of its last seven games and is tied for first place in the WAC with Utah Valley.

Purdue 80, Penn State 60— Mason Gillis came off the bench, scored 29 points in 25:00 on 9-12 shooting on the arc; the kid had scored a total of 18 points in his previous five games. He was 17-53 on the arc coming into the game, then went 9-12 in this game. Go figure.

— Eight NFL teams with unsettled QB situations for 2023:
Carolina— Who will Frank Reich want at QB? Sam Darnold? Matt Corral? PJ Walker? Will they bring in a different QB?

Indianapolis— Have to hire a new coach first, but chances are the Colts will have their 7th different starting QB in seven years on Opening Day.

Las Vegas— Jarrett Stidham could easily wind up as the starter here, but Derek Carr is going to be playing elsewhere next year.

Miami— Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion issues make him a long shot to be the longterm answer under center for the Dolphins. Miami has good receivers; you’d think a free agent QB would be interested in playing here.

New Orleans— Andy Dalton will be 36 in October, Jameis Winston has started 10 games the last three years. Saints need to draft a quarterback, or trade for one.

San Francisco— Lance/Purdy are both coming off serious injuries; would figure that Lance will be the healthier of the two when training camp opens.

Tampa Bay— Blaine Gabbert tops their depth chart right now; somehow I don’t think that is how it will look when September rolls around.

Washington— Will Sam Howell take over the starting job next year, after starting in Week 18 of his rookie season? Carson Wentz could wind up on his 4th team in four years next fall.

— RIP to Bobby Beathard, the Pro Football Hall of Fame executive who helped build those great Redskins teams in the 80’s. Beathard’s teams won four Super Bowl rings; he spent 33 years in the NFL with five different teams.
