Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— North Carolina 55, Temple 13— Temple coach Carey is now 0-7 in bowls.

— Michigan 27, Wake Forest 21— Total was 51.5; no one scored in 4th quarter.

— Texas A&M 24, Oklahoma State 21— Aggies have only four seniors on whole roster.

— Air Force 31, Washington State 21— Flyboys ran ball for 371 yards.

— Falcons’ coach Dan Quinn will be back in Atlanta next year.

— Five bowl games on New Year’s Eve, only four on New Year’s Day; why?

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) Pitt 34, Eastern Michigan 30— OK, never saw this before; Panthers score with 0:47 left to take a 34-30 lead, their first lead of the night. EMU was trying to drive for a winning score when their QB gets hit while throwing an incomplete pass with 0:10 left.

The QB gets up, one of the defenders says something to him, and the QB smacks the guy in the facemask— not good. He gets thrown out of the game; a kid playing his last college game, who threw for 311 yards and two TD’s, gets tossed before the last play. Oy.

12) Found a treasure trove of old knowledge Thursday, a website full of old stats from the USFL, which played from 1983-85. Was a very good league, good springtime entertainment.

22 different cities hosted USFL teams; Breakers played in a different city every year (Boston, New Orleans, Portland).

11) Steve Young led the LA Express to a 10-8 record in 1984, playing for coach John Hadl, who was an excellent QB himself in the old AFL for the Chargers, and then briefly for the Rams.

Young threw for 2,361 yards, ran for 515 more; they slipped to 3-15 the next year, losing a great 34-33 game to Jim Kelly and the Houston Gamblers early in the season, in front of a small gathering at the LA Coliseum.

When I say small crowd, the Express averaged 8,415 fans a game in the Coliseum. No bueno.

10) Tampa Bay Bandits averaged over 40,000 fans/game in their three-year run for Steve Spurrier, going 35-19. Florida alum John Reaves played QB most of the time for the Bandits; at one point, he was a 1st round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles.

9) Super Bowl winners by seed, since 1990:
seed #1) 14 Super Bowl champs
#2) 7
#3) 1 (Colts ’06)
#4) 4
#5) 1 (Giants ’07)
#6) 2 (Steelers ’05/Packers ’10)

8) Minnesota Vikings are locked into the #6 seed in the NFC; they’re likely to sit lot of guys this weekend, including QB Kirk Cousins.

7) Marshawn Lynch will apparently be paid $60,588 by the Seahawks this week.

For any NFL player with more than 10 years of experience, the minimum salary is $1,030,000 for the whole year, which breaks down to $60,588 per week over 17 weeks.

6) Washington Huskies’ QB Jacob Eason, the #4 NFL prospect at QB, according to ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., announced Thursday that he will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft.

5) Lebron James has played four games for the Lakers against the rival Clippers; he is 5-29 on the arc in those four games.

4) Louisiana Tech 14, Miami 0— Miami used three QB’s in this game; none of them played well. This is their first losing season since 2014. Not often the TV announcers are speculating during the game about the offensive coordinator getting fired.

Friday, the offensive coordinator got fired.

Miami lost nine of its last ten bowl games. Meanwhile, Skip Holtz is 6-0 in bowls at Louisiana Tech.

3) On November 12, Evansville upset Kentucky 67-64 in Rupp Arena, a great moment for the Purple Aces and their coach, Kentucky alum Walter McCarty.

Six weeks later, McCarty was put on leave by Evansville, after “……a troubling report about Coach McCarty’s interactions with a member of the campus community.”

Former Samford coach Bennie Seltzer is the Purple Aces’ interim head coach.

2) RIP Don Imus, 79, a legend on NYC radio who often made me laugh when I was driving to work. ESPN’s Mike Breen did the sports on Imus’ show for a while; Imus would bust his chops and make him laugh, while he was trying to read his report.

1) Aaron Rodgers, Danica Patrick recently bought a Malibu estate for $28M in cash; who doesn’t have $28M lying around?
