College Football
- COLLEGE FOOTBALL FAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEE:
We'd think the story of a Texas A&M fan getting past security and spending almost all of the Aggies' landmark upset of Alabama on the sideline was made up, but there's plenty of photographic proof on TexAgs.com.
...
And this isn't just a fun but kind of boring tale of a guy who slips by security and does everything he can to not draw suspicion so he can continue to watch from the sideline. What makes it so funny is that he pretty much made himself right at home.
He took the pictures, obviously, including the one with Crow. He said he talked to school president R. Bowen Loftin. He said he introduced himself to Aggies offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury before the game. He ran off the field with the team at halftime, even though he laments he couldn't get access to the locker room. And there's photographic proof of him running off the field behind Sumlin, in a freeze-frame from the CBS broadcast. He says that he talked with Sumlin for a brief second after his CBS halftime interview.
Let's think about that. A fan who sneaked by security is bold enough to chat up the team's head coach as he runs in at halftime of a game against the top-ranked team in the country. That's fantastic.
- Temple couldn't find a 12th game for this season.

Smorgasbord Insane Video Of The Year Of The Week
- This must be seen to be believed. It's a compilation of dashboard camera videos from Russia. Apparently lots of regular people have dashboard cameras there. Anyway, Russians ARE INSANE drivers.
