Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

College football trends to ponder for this week (all records are ATS):

-- Kansas State is 5-12-1 in last 18 games as a road favorite.

-- Vanderbilt won/covered five of last seven games with Ole Miss- this game was moved to Titans' (bigger) stadium (7 miles). Ole Miss will bring lot of fans.

-- South Florida covered twice in its last 14 home games.

-- Home side covered nine of last 12 Michigan-Notre Dame games; Wolverines won and covered six of last eight.

-- UCLA covered 13 of its last 18 non-conference games.

-- Georgia Tech is 2-0-1 in last three games as a road favorite.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) Guy on Long Island found some lottery tickets in his truck, went inside and checked the results—he had a $2.9M ticket sitting on floor of his truck, collecting dust. Now he’s pretty rich and much more popular. One of his employees said “He never used to smile.” Go figure.

12) Cris Collinsworth was talking on TV last week about owner Mike Brown of the Bengals and how he has done stuff for players/ex-players that no one knows about, acts of kindness. Before he hired Marvin Lewis, Brown used to get ripped for having such a bad team, while supposedly being cheap. Lewis has made the team respectable and according to Collinsworth, Brown is far from cheap.

11) College of Charleston had a big problem when they fired basketball coach Doug Wojcik this summer; apparently the school president used to own a shop that sold Confederate stuff from the Civil War and he was in favor or flying the rebel flag, things like that, not exactly what you would want if you’re recruiting players for a sport played primarily by African-Americans.

So what did they do? They went out and hired an African-American head coach, passing over former Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz in the process. Lutz is way more qualified than an entry level head coach, but Charleston has a serious perception problem and they hope this hire will make that problem go away.

10) Sounds like the Texans tried to trade for Philly’s Matt Barkley before they acquired QB Ryan Mallett from New England. Houston then cut backup QB Case Keenum, who was scooped up by the Rams. Not good for QB’s to be changing teams right before the season.

9) UConn women’s hoop coach Geno Auriemma called the 13-year old girl who pitched in the Little League World Series; he congratulated her, the call lasted two minutes and now this is an NCAA thing? Seriously?

The young lady expressed an interest in playing for the Huskies one day, so the guy called her up- she’s still in junior high. I thought NCAA enforcers were overworked; how could this possibly have become a thing?

8) Fast food workers in San Diego were striking Thursday; they want $15 an hour. If they get what they want, the places will just go out of business and those people will lose their jobs. Striking is rarely a brilliant idea.

7) UNLV point guard Daquan Cook was going to redshirt this year anyway, but now he’ll be rehabbing his torn up knee. Cook tore an ACL and needs surgery. Rebels have USF transfer Cody Doolin to run the show this year- they’re going to look a lot different than they did last winter, with five new starters and former LMU coach Max Good now an assistant to Dave Rice.

6) Guy on the Interweb met Joe Namath this week, had him sign a game ticket to Super Bowl III, when the Jets upset the then-Baltimore Colts 16-7. Not sure what that ticket is worth now but in January 1969, it cost $12 to get in the game. You can’t park your car at a Super Bowl for $12 now.

5) In three of Edinson Volquez’ last four starts, game was 0-0 after 5th inning. He’s pitching much better but not getting much run support.

4) Browns’ WR Josh Gordon is suspended for this season, so he’s selling cars to make money. Will be curious to hear if he sells a lot of cars.

3) Unusual to read about Bills coach Doug Marrone and his fairly public squabble with people in the Bills’ front office. Sounds like they don’t work well together. It is misleading by the way, to say that Marrone was the Saints’ offensive coordinator under Sean Payton; that may have been his title, but make no mistake about it, Payton is the offensive coordinator/head coach on Bourbon Street.

2) Watching Hard Knocks on HBO the other night, saw a very cool 3-tiered driving range they have in Atlanta, where one of the Falcons was hitting golf balls with his girlfriend. Don’t have anything like that here in Albany; too bad.

1) I’m thinking when we see the Ravens play this fall, its going to be fairly clear that going from Jim Caldwell to Gary Kubiak at offensive coordinator is going to be a huge upgrade for John Harbaugh’s team.

Kyle Busch runs 'perfect' race

RICHMOND, Va. -- Picture perfect.

Coors Light pole sitter Kyle Busch led all 250 laps in Friday night's Virginia529 College Savings 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Richmond International Raceway and beat runner-up and series leader Chase Elliott to the finish line by 1.323 seconds.

Driving a No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota that was the clear class of the field, Busch won for the fourth time this season, the fifth time at Richmond and the series-best 67th time in his career.

It was the second time Busch has led every lap in a Nationwide Series race, the first coming at Phoenix in 2011 when he led 200 laps after starting from the pole.

"It's been a while, if you think about it," said Busch, who hadn't won a Nationwide race at Richmond since 2011. "We've had a lot of bad luck lately, and it feels good, trying to get some mojo back; get ready for (Saturday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race); see what we can salvage there and roll on into the Chase."

Busch said Joe Gibbs Racing did considerable work on its short-track package after finishing third behind the Chevrolets of Harvick and Elliott in April.

"All in all, the guys did a great job," Busch said. "They were really smart about what they needed, what we needed, what I needed."

Kevin Harvick ran third after ceding the second position to Elliott on the race's final restart on Lap 233. Ryan Blaney came home fourth, followed by Brian Scott and Regan Smith, who fell 19 points behind Elliott, his JR Motorsports teammate in the series standings.

While Busch spent the race comfortably out front after taking the green flag from the pole position, Harvick systematically worked his way forward from the 15th starting position. Harvick passed Blaney for the second spot just before the caution flag flew for the fifth time on Lap 166 because of debris on the backstretch.

But that was as close as Harvick could get. Busch quickly pulled away to a lead of more than two seconds after the subsequent restart on Lap 172 and continued to pull away. The margin stabilized at roughly 3.3 seconds as Busch and Harvick worked heavy traffic as the laps counted down.

Harvick began to eat into Busch's advantage before a yellow flag interrupted his progress.

NASCAR called the sixth caution on Lap 226 after Landon Cassill's Chevrolet brushed the wall in Turn 2.

"Kyle had a much better car and was able to take off on the short runs and get way out there," said Harvick, who thought he might have been able to catch Busch during the final run, if not for the caution.

NOTE: NASCAR is taking the rear gear from Busch's winning No. 54 Camry back to its research-and development center in Concord, N.C., for further evaluation. Should any penalties be warranted, they will be announced next week.

Thanks, jt! Have fun today! I hate to be opposite you with Vandy. It always makes me nervous.

Good Luck today Dog........

Guys,

Stat Fox (long sheets) and the baseball short sheet haven't even started for the day. As a matter of fact, Stat Fox seems to be completely offline. I'll keep watching for them but it's about time to kick-off the football slate for the day and I'll be a little busy watching that. It could be real close to first pitch.

Good luck today, guys!
