University of Kansas MBB - Grind to Win: Kansas Takes Utah in Final Seconds, 63-60
Facing its fourth-top-25 team in nine games, Kansas (8-1) blew out Utah (7-2) in the opening half – then was outscored by 15 points in the second period – before extending its win streak to seven games and collecting its 25th win in 30 all-time games at Sprint Center.

The game featured one of KU's best halves of the season and also one of its worst, as the Jayhawks (8-1) raced out to a 42-21 lead behind a strong first half and then saw that lead erased when a less-than-stellar second half.
"It's tough," No. 13 Utah's 7-foot freshman center said when asked to compare No. 10 Kansas, a 63-60 winner over his Utes on Saturday, with No. 11 Wichita State, which his team had beaten in overtime, 69-68, 10 days earlier at home. "I'd say Kansas is a more physical team, and Wichita was really great in (terms of) like, offensive execution and defensive discipline.

Vote: Biggest all-Big 12 first-team snub? - ESPN
Kansas cornerback JaCorey Shepherd was quietly excellent for Clint Bowen’s defense, leading the Big 12 with 18 passes defensed. Much like Sanchez, receivers knew they were in for a battle anytime they lined up opposite Shepherd, yet he went largely overshadowed thanks to the ridiculous production of teammate Ben Heeney.

Replacing David Beaty as a recruiter key for Kevin Sumlin - SEC Blog - ESPN
Though the defensive coordinator is priority No. 1, replacing Beaty’s spot on staff will be critical as well. In his three years in Aggieland, the former Texas high school football coach earned a reputation as a stellar recruiter and was the lynchpin to the Aggies’ success in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a fertile area for talent and one that is a priority to Sumlin in the team's annual recruiting efforts.

College QB Forced To Sue T-Shirt Company To Retain Eligibility
Mississippi State quarterback Dakota "Dak" Prescott is suing a T-shirt company for using and profiting from his name without permission. Whether Prescott actually gives a shit about some guys making a few bucks off some T-shirts is unclear, because no matter how he feels about it, he has to sue the T-shirt company if he wants to retain his eligibility. I direct your attention to NCAA bylaw 12.5.2.2.

LOOK: Eagles don't know how to cover Dez Bryant, who's wide open - CBSSports.com
By the time the time there was 10 minutes left in the game, Bryant had already racked up 99 of those yards and apparently, the Eagles just gave up on covering him -- because that's the only way to explain how he got as open as he did below.
Titans fall nine yards short of pulling off second 'Music City Miracle' - CBSSports.com

Steelers LB destroys Matt Ryan, refs throw iffy roughing the passer flag - CBSSports.com
That's Steelers linebacker Jason Worilds destroying Ryan with what appears to be a clean hit. However, the refs didn't think it was cleaned and Worilds was flagged for roughing the passer.
(Mr. Ed says: Alright, now I'm getting pissed. Someone tell me what was wrong with this play. Quarterbacks are football players. (So are kickers and punters.) They should be allowed to get hit. This is getting ridiculous. Roughing penalties are out of control.)

Woman Issued Ticket for 'Unsafe Backing'
This video isn't for the faint of heart. There's nothing that dramatic, but it only takes a few seconds before the question of how someone could be so incompetent at simply backing out of a parking space becomes almost too much to bear. The 97-point turn by a woman in a BMW X3 captured last week in Calgary, Canada, takes four minutes to complete and results in damage to one nearby car, all before the driver simply rolls onto her next appointment with befuddlement.
