The football game was embarrassing. Fans, coaches and players are all doing what we do best, "grasping for positives after a crushing defeat" (ouch). Another disappointment in a long history of post-season disappointments. I kinda wish the basketball game was not moved, so I could turn that on and feel better about our athletic department. Speaking of basketball...

We rolled Grambling State, 101-27. And now for my favorite post-blowout game, fun with the stat sheet.

• We had more points in the paint (46), more points off turnovers (49), and more bench points (32) than they had total points.
  
• As a team, Grambling made only 2 more field goals (10) then both Josh Carter (8) and Joe Jones (8).
  
• We made more free throws (15) than they shot (10).
  
• Two of their starters (Thomas and Calloway) had the same number of points as my mom (0).
  
• Six players, two of them starters, (Thomas, Prestley, Ratliff, Nixon, McFadden, Akpele) had more turnovers than points.
  
• No Grambling player had more assists than turnovers while we had 7 (Acie, Joe, Dom, Josh, AK, Sloan, Muhlbach).
• They had 30 turnovers. We had 49 points off turnovers. That is 1.6 points per turnover.
  
• Our longest scoring drought was 2:17 (last 2:17 of the game), theirs was 8:18 (first 8:18 of the game).

I think I am going to start a new stat. The number of major Texas newspapers that run the AP wire story instead of having the college basketball beat guy do a story. Think of it like attendance, but for reporters. This will likely take more work than I am willing to do.

I have already lost motivation.
