Trojans, facing nerds who never had to learn how to use one.
B1G Football for a National Audience
Northwestern Wildcats at #19 USC Trojans
8pm CT | FOX | USC -14.5 | O/U 50.5
USC has all the athletes, hype, and home-field advantage needed to
make this a laugher.
What they don’t have, though, is the patented Sock Full of Nickels that the Wildcats like to break out at selected times to stymie more talented opponents.
Is that a guarantee of anything tonight? Don’t be ridiculous. Instead, just sit here and take in a bad football game.
Non-B1G Football for a National Audience
Houston Cougars at UCF Citronauts
7pm | FS1 | UH -1.5 | O/U 47.5
Good ol’ Florida Technological University is making this their Space Game—shots directly fired by the Citronauts at their space-facing rivals.
Non-B1G Football for a National Audience (unless you have YouTube TV)
Tulane Green Wave at Memphis Tigers
8pm | ESPN | Memphis -3.5 | O/U 54.5
Here’s your open thread. Usual rules apply.
Approach of Winter
The half-stripped trees
struck by a wind together,
bending all,
the leaves flutter drily
and refuse to let go
or driven like hail
stream bitterly out to one side
and fall
where the salvias, hard carmine—
like no leaf that ever was—
edge the bare garden.
