My College Roommate is DNCE


Fall is a time when school gets back in session. For college kiddos, it's especially exciting. After all, you get to meet your new roommate! While you can picture all the good times you'll share together, you never really know how things will turn out until you actually cross paths. Sometimes it's a perfect match, sometimes it's a disaster, and still other times, your roommate actually turns out to be pop group DNCE. It's just the luck of the draw.

We Should All Be As Happy As Marshawn Lynch Is While Dancing


The Oakland Raiders beat up on the New York Jets Sunday, winning 45-20. As the game was winding down, Marshawn Lynch got the crowd hyped with a fantastic dance on the sidelines. Of course, if you listen to talk radio, some people have gotten mad already at Lynch's dancing. Those are the same people that don't enjoy any kind of fun. Let's all take a page from Beast Mode's book and appreciate the finer things in life.

Louisiana Tech and Mississippi State Combine for 87-Yard Loss on 2nd and Goal


Sometimes in football, plays happen that just defy all sense of logic. This 2nd and goal effort from Louisiana Tech is a great example of that. The Bulldogs took on Mississippi State (also aptly named the Bulldogs) over the weekend and found themselves on the wrong end of an eventual 57-21 loss.

No one will remember any of that, though. The only thing people will take away from this game is this play. Louisiana Tech somehow turned 2nd and goal from the 7-yard line into 3rd and goal from their own 6-yard line. A shocking loss of 87 yards. EIGHTY-SEVEN.

Just let that sink in. How many things had to go wrong for that to happen? The most impressive thing in all of this is that Mississippi State had about four opportunities to score – Louisiana Tech was actually fortunate to come away with an 87-yard loss.

ESPN Stats & Info shared that the previous longest amount of yards to get a first down since 2004 was 57 yards when Georgia faced an epic third down against Tennessee. That record is no more. Amazing.
