Colorado coach Deion Sanders and Colorado State coach Jay Norvell have found themselves the unlikely nerve centers of the college football universe this week, as Saturday night’s Rocky Mountain Showdown enjoys some unprecedented juice.
However, as ESPN reporter and former Denver Post writer Adam Schefter noted in a Saturday afternoon social media post, it’s not the first meeting between the two men.
On Halloween 1999, the Cowboys visited the Colts at the old RCA Dome in Indianapolis.

Come after me! I’m a man. I’m 40! – Mike Gundy Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz.
After 16 years, we finally have a new Mike Gundy rant in college football, and it came AFTER one of the most incredible wins of Week 3.
Quick rewind: Missouri stunned Kansas State earlier today on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. It was insane. Pandemonium. Electric. Everything great about college football.
After the game, coach Eli Drinkwitz was HOT — and not over the game-winning boot. Nope. He was pissed off after the home crowd booed starting QB Brady Cook earlier in the game.
DJ Uiagalelei lacked a standout wide receiver at Clemson, which is one reason the quarterback didn’t follow through on expectations during his three seasons there. Maybe he should’ve thrown to some offensive lineman.
Oregon State and offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren may have cracked the code early in the Beavers’ matchup versus San Diego State. In the second quarter on a first-and-goal from the three-yard line, Uiagalelei dropped back and rolled to his right. But then he turned to throw a backwards pass to his wide-open left tackle Joshua Gray.
Former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, who led the franchise to a 2008 World Series title, suffered a stroke on Saturday while undergoing a medical procedure in a Florida hospital, the team announced.
Per the statement from the Phillies, the hospital was able to attend to Manuel immediately and subsequently remove a blood clot. The next 24 hours “will be crucial” to Manuel’s recovery, according to the release.
Manuel has previously survived a heart attack and kidney cancer, and has also undergone surgery in the past to address issues with his colon as well as his heart.
Gareth Bale made his name as one of the world’s best soccer players for Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid.
The Welsh national though, has found a new sporting interest after his retirement from competitive soccer. Bale’s taken up golf in a big way, making appearances on YouTube golf channels and competing in pro-am events.
And now he’s taking his talent on the links to the virtual world too.
With one single sentence, Eli Manning could have gone a long way toward changing MetLife Stadium. Hell, he could have removed the last six remaining turf fields out of NFL stadiums.
But he blew it.
The two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback for the New York Giants was asked about the biggest side-topic this past week: Are NFL turf fields worse than real grass?
“I think the turf, it gives you a reliable field all the time,” Manning said this past week during an interview with Front Office Sports.
The NFL Players Association wants to ban silk film turf.
The latest wave of NFL discipline included a pair of fines for Seahawks star DK Metcalf following the receiver’s controversial actions during the team’s 30–13 Week 1 loss to the Rams.
The NFL fined Metcalf $10,927 for unnecessary roughness stemming from a cheap shot on Rams defensive back Akhello Witherspoon late in the game, the league announced Saturday. Metcalf also received an additional fine of $10,927 for the 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he drew for the hit moments later.
The much-criticized moment came late in Seattle’s frustrating outing in L.A.
College football witnessed another ranked team get upset on Saturday in incredible, record-setting fashion.
Missouri, four-point home underdogs, toppled No. 15 Kansas State 30–27 on the strength of an SEC record 61-yard field goal by Harrison Mevis.
With the game tied 27–27 and only three seconds remaining in the game, Mevis blasted the mammoth game-winner through the rain to give the Tigers to an incredible walk-off win.

Missouri has done it, defeating 15th ranked Kansas State in one of the wildest endings we’ve seen in college football’s first three weeks. Thanks to a delay of game and the longest field goal in SEC history from Harrison Mevis, Saturday’s early slate delivered.
It all went down in Columbia, Missouri, as Kansas State made its way into SEC territory for the rivalry game. What started out as the Wildcats looking like a team who could run their way through Missouri, ended with Eli Drinkwitz earning a signature win.
But it was the final minute in the game that has people talking.
Saturday’s LSU–Mississippi State game was expected to be an early season SEC West test for the Tigers.
It turned out to be a one-sided affair as LSU dismantled Mississippi State, 41–14, while also giving college football fans a glimpse of Tigers freshman running back Kaleb Jackson, who registered a play that resembled LSU running backs from the past.
