Football Takes Over The Weekend
Plan on giving the better part of Saturday to college football. And why not? You’ve earned it.
As always, there’s plenty of college football. It’s a buffet, a smorgasbord, a watch-all-you-want affair. But after last weekend’s sad matchups, we’re back to recommending a couple of primo contests.
We advise gently placing your heiner in your recliner and absorbing the pictures and sound.
Your Saturday begins with No. 2 Florida State at No. 10 Louisville. The Atlantic Coast Conference is often considered the weakest of the Power 5 conferences, but here’s a matchup of top 10 teams. Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has accounted for 12 touchdowns in two games for the Cardinals. This one’s on ABC at noon E.T.
At 7:30 p.m., No. 3 Ohio State visits No. 14 Oklahoma. These two haven’t played each other since 1983. Another loss and Oklahoma will effectively be eliminated from contending for the national title. You can see it on Fox. You have permission to watch another game in this same time slot – No. 12 Michigan State at No. 18 Notre Dame. NBC carries it.
The best of the NFL on Sunday is, again, the late game. The Minnesota Vikings will likely unveil Sam Bradford as their starting quarterback when they take on the Green Bay Packers in an NFC Central Division game. NBC shows this at 8:20 p.m.
It wouldn’t be late September if the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox weren’t tying up ESPN for about four hours on a Sunday night. It’s a key American League East game and the Red Sox really dented the Yankees’ postseason hopes with a five-run rally in the ninth inning of Thursday night’s meeting for a 7-5 win. The Yankees are done if they don’t take three of the four games – the finale on Sunday night is at 8 p.m. As the hours drag by, think of it as The Hundred Years War with too many pitching changes.
As always, watch responsibly. You are a role model, you know.
