Three Aztecs football players have chickenpox. #sandiegost needs  to play contain .:wink:.

Week 2 quick jabs in the O5

MWC: Boise St and San Diego St outlasted ,respectively PAC12 opponents, Wash St and Cal. Speciap props to the #Aztecs #Pumphrey who rushed for 281 yards against Cal
MAC: I know USF is improving but NIU  looked ragged in defeat yesterday. CMU got the benenfit of  asleep at the "wheel" officiating to upset OK st (Big 12)
AAC: Big regional win for ECU  over NC St (ACC) in a topsy turvy game. Navy got the benefit of UConn's poor clock management. Cincy handled Purdue (Big 10) and is off to a solid start.
CUSA: Shaky week! No losses to 1AA schools but no wins against  1A OOC opponents. Stocksill threw for nearly 400 yards in the MTSU' loss to Vandy (SEC) .
SunBelt-  Troy threw a he!! of a scare into Clemson (ACC) in a tough 30-24 loss.How about those Aggies of New Mexico St defeating intrastate rival New Mexico (MWC) 32-31. Ags  are doing ok as they wait for Larry Rose III, their star RB, to return to the lineup. South Bama  upset Miss St last week but Georgia Southern  gave them a sunbelt slap 24-9.

9/14/16

A little off the field news: On Tuesday, #UNLV (MWC) announced that the Feritta family,who recently sold their stake in the UFC, has donated $10 million to help build the school a new indoor football practice facility.

4/26/17

Post season  follow up: Oklahoma State's #AlamoBowl championship rings count the week 2 loss to #cmu (MAC) in week 2 as a win . NCAA didn't reverse  the result. Central Michigan won the game.

O5 PLAYERS IN 2016 NBA draft.

Weak night for the O5 teams in the 2016 NBA draft- three players taken in the second round
MWC: Two from UNLV #38 Patrick McCaw 6' 7 guard to the Bucks then traded to GSW where his solid defensive skills and overall agility should  be a good fit.
 #41 Stephen Zimmerman Jr , a 7' center to Orlando. If Orlandom has patience, the kid might help them
AAC:#56 Daniel Hamilton UConn 6/7 F/G went to Denver then traded to OKC. He'll need to improve his trey % may see a lot of NBDL time

A year later: #mccaw  will be getting more minutes at small forward for #gsw. #zimmerman was waived by the #magic this summer and picked up by the Lakers. #hamilton will likely bounce back and forth from the Thunder to the NBDL.
