Welcome Back, College Football!!! GSU Hits Last-Second FG To Snap 16-Game Losing Streak

((HT: gsupanthers Instagram))

Will Lutz punched a chip shot field through the uprights with a handful of seconds to go for Georgia State's 38-37 win over Abilene Christian at the Georgia Dome.


GSU had a 16-game losing streak snapped with the win- their first since a win over Rhode Island in 2012.

Here's how the team celebrated when time ran out...


Now, the team that had their losing streak broken against ACU last year, New Mexico State visits the Georgia Dome next weekend...

Let's see how the Panthers respond...

Just Don't Call Them The 26'ers Anymore...

((HT: CSNPhilly))

Brett Brown was proven wrong...

His Philadelphia 26'ers76'ers team DID actually win another game this NBA season...

And it wan't even that close...

It was a 123-98 win over Detroit and will keep Philly as a part of history instead of making it on their own...

Thaddeus Young and Michael Carter-Williams scored 21 points each. Henry Sims added 16 points. And, frankly, the HQ can't remember the last time the team scored 70 in the first half- leading by 19 at 70-51. The Sixers led by 30 at one point- after the third quarter.

Their previous largest margin of victory this season was 15 against the Cavaliers on November 8th.

Marshall Harris discusses


The Sixers, now 16-57, also snapped an 18-game home losing streak- one shy of the all-time mark of 19 held by the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks.

Balotelli Victim Of Racist Chants Again...???

((HT: HQ Football 24))

This is getting really tiresome, but the HQ knows short of empty stadia where fans aren't allowed to support their teams and massive fines on the teams that allow their fans to say racist things toward opposing players, that what may have happened AGAIN today in Serie A will just keep happening...

It's been a long year for AC Milan and their game against Napoli wasn't doing them any favors...

Down 2-1 with 15 minutes left, manager Clarence Seedorf pulled Balotelli- who, it has been reported, was the target of racist chants... this has yet to be substantiated where Seedorf says his tears were that of a sportsman who cares and not Napoli words.

Roma's Ignazio Abate thought the tears were out of disappointment:

“Mario really cares about doing well with Milan and making his mark. He is sentimental. It’s a shame that he got so downhearted about it, as he needs to keep his head up.”

Here's the shot into the dugout focused on Balotelli- interpret as you wish...


Milan would lose 3-1

Caltech Breaks 228-Game Losing Streak In Baseball

((HT: Cal Tech their ownselves))

228 games is a long time...

Caltech last posted an NCAA baseball win on February 15, 2003 when they beat CSU-Monterey Bay 5-4. Then, this weekend, the Beavers beat Pacifica 9-7 in the second game of a doubleheader to break that astronomically-long losing streak...

And, no the number isn't a misprint...

Caltech has 17 men's and women's sports...

The men's hoops team, at this writing, is 1-20...
So are the women... but Stephanie Wong may set the record for points in a season before they're through... even if their losing streak is at 16...

They have fencing, track and field, soccer, cross country, swimming and diving...

So, statistically, this could be one of the worst athletics programs in the country. But, if we judged Caltech by the athletics program, we'd be in serious trouble...

They can only lay claim to 17 Nobel Prize winners, astronaut Frank Borman, Moshe Arens, a former PM of Iceland, and Frank Capra (yes, THAT Frank Capra)...

So, the HQ is more than happy to celebrate their wins when they come...
Here's postgame from the Pacifica win from Head Coach Matthew Mark, Daniel Chou, and Brian Penserini
