College Football Update

Every year, I try to keep track of how the three colleges I attended are doing on the gridiron, and I have to admit, this year I've been incredibly lax. But I'm turning over a new leaf as of today — here we go again.

"Almost." You could say that word has South Carolina's motto for a while now, but especially in its last game against #2 Auburn. The Cocks lost 24-17, but it could have ended differently if Jared Cook hadn't dropped a pass in the end zone with 19 seconds left. USC is 3-2 for the year.

UMass is having a pretty good year at 3-1, including this week's drubbing of Stony Brook 48-7. No "almost" here.

And Cornell? Not so good. The Big Red is 0-2, and lost to Yale on Saturday 21-9. But hey, the Panthers started out 0-2 this year, so there is still hope.
