Florida State hangs on for 24-17 win in Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU

Florida State hangs on for 24-17 win in Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday. Chicago leads the best-of-five series, 2-1, and is one victory away from a return to the WNBA Finals that tips off in one week. Connecticut will need to win out, including… Source link

We’re going to be good around the basket. We’re going to… Source link

College football fans treated to free beer and food as credit card machines go down at Nebraska-Northwestern game in Ireland

Beer and other concessions were free at Aviva Stadium at the Northwestern-Nebraska game in Dublin, Ireland, because all the credit card machines were down.
