I am not sure when Sacramento State coaches decided it was best not to throw much against UNLV on Saturday night. It might have been when Hornets quarterback Jason Smith’s second attempt was a one-hopper on an 8-yard out that James Loney would have struggled to field.
Mike Sanford insists he is going to stay off the field more during games this season, which is a good thing considering UNLV’s football team has an opportunity to flirt with its first winning record since 2000.
In a time where the sounds of Friday night football seem more magical each fall — marching bands playing, cheerleaders cheering, fans clapping, coaches screaming, players shouting words of support — Adam Finlayson of Faith Lutheran hears none of it.
Three years ago, a self-styled genius and a cocky California kid hooked up and hatched a plan to conquer college football. Charlie Weis, the wiseguy coach, and Jimmy Clausen, the punk quarterback, told everyone they were destined for greatness.
If Rachel Alexandra wins the Woodward on Saturday at Belmont Park, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jess Jackson calls it a year for his champion 3-year-old filly.

I don’t believe any college football program follows the weekly 20-hour limit of “football activities” to the second. I don’t believe any program follows the offseason limit of eight hours per week.
They should have known that when 9/11 struck terror into this nation and Nick Paris put on his official little police uniform to set up a lemonade stand with his older sister, there was something special about him.
It is Saratoga’s turn to offer a great array of graded stakes Saturday, headed by the $1 million Travers for 3-year-olds. Rachel Alexandra won’t be in it, but an argument can be made that the seven-horse Travers’ field is stronger than the Kentucky Derby’s.
Six weeks. Six months. Doesn’t matter. When entering into contract negotiations for securing your lot in life as a college football bowl game, specific facts always determine your fate.
Dove season opens Tuesday morning, but given what I haven’t seen, it could be a slow opener. And what I haven’t seen are doves.
The Northwest Girls Softball League held its fall draft the past few days, and more than 800 players were distributed among nearly 80 teams.
They issued one of those excessive heat warnings Friday, advising of temperatures that could reach 110 degrees.
It sounds awfully familiar, the news that the New York Racing Association is trying to arrange a rich stakes race at Belmont Park this fall using a corporate sponsor to boost the purse and featuring the two best horses in training.
