The Last Night’s Game Team
College Football
The college football season is coming to a close but not without cementing its place in the record books. Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller became the first woman to score a point in a power five conference (i.e. the biggest five conferences in college football). Then there’s Arizona State University’s Jackson He who became the first Chinese-born player to score a touchdown. It’s worth noting that he is the only Chinese-born player in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision – which is home to the biggest schools in college football). Earlier this season, his team surprised him with his name in Chinese characters on the back of his jersey. TOUCHDOWN!
Overtime
The Cleveland Indians (MLB – Major League Baseball) have vowed to drop the Indians from their name this season, a nickname they’ve used since 1915. They phased out Chief Wahoo as their mascot last season. This comes amongst a bigger push by professional sports teams to stop using Native American names. Maybe the team will return to their previous name the Cleveland Naps. (We couldn't make this up if we tried).WE LOVE A GOOD NAP
Sideline stat
In a year where many college programs are hurting for money, Auburn fired their head football coach Gus Malzhan. Now they owe him $21 million in the next 30 days to buy out the remainder of his contract. PAINFUL PAYOUT
Coaches’ corner
College Football Bowl Game Season is fast approaching and bowl games are being cancelled left and right and teams are opting out of the games that are still in play. These games are usually huge paydays for the teams, who are hurting for cash this season but stay tuned for who is in and who is out. The biggest games that matter between the top four teams in the country are still on so the national championship is not in jeopardy. SOME SENSE OF NORMALCY
