Case Keenum: throwing the Cougars to victory.

Last night was a banner night for Houston Cougars quarterback Case Keenum.  The sixth-year senior (granted an extra year of eligibility for medical reasons after missing last season with a knee injury) is climbing all the NCAA career passing lists thanks to Houston’s prolific offense.  Last night, Case Keenum threw a career-best 9 touchdowns as Houston beat Rice 73-34, and Keenum broke the NCAA FBS record for career touchdowns.  Keenum’s 139 and counting topped former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell’s 134; Keenum is 267 yards shy of the career passing yards mark of 17,072 set by Hawaii’s former QB Tim Chang.

“Those are video-game numbers, something we couldn’t get stopped,” said Rice linebacker Justin Allen of Keenum’s 24/37 passes completed for 534 yards and 9 touchdowns versus 1 interception.  “The rain slowed down a little bit … I wished it would have rained all game.  It stopped, and they got things cranked up.  There was no looking back for them.”

If you think Conference USA is a joke, think again.  The new Mountain West/C-USA is going to be a very tough conference.  Houston is 8-0 and ranked #17 in the country at the moment.  Most importantly, Keenum kept the team in the game despite being down 17-7 in the first quarter, and he battled back to take the lead and close out the Rice Owls.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
