The heck with tiebreakers. As far as Jimbo Fisher is concerned, his initial season at Florida State will include at least a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference division title.
Darriet Perry scored three second-half touchdowns and Florida International added a defensive score late in the third quarter on the way to a 38-17 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday. The Golden Panthers (5-5, 5-1) remained in first place in the Sun Belt Conference and can clinch their first conference title with a win in one of their remaining two games.
There's still some life in Texas. It may not be much and may be too little to mask the pain of a terrible season, but the Longhorns finally found a way to win again. Garrett Gilbert threw two long touchdown passes and Emmanuel Acho had a 57-yard interception return for a score as Texas snapped a four-game losing skid with a 51-17 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
Florida's home finale turned out to be a much-needed feel-good story. There was an emotional Senior Day ceremony. There was an offensive outburst. There was quarterback John Brantley's touchdown reception. There was walk-on Gary Beemer's unlikely score. Maybe more importantly, there was an easy victory -- the kind the Gators haven't enjoyed very often this season.
The Miami Dolphins lost two more starters Thursday night, thanks to injuries that weren't even caused by getting hit.
The Florida Marlins will donate over 500 Thanksgiving meals to families in Little Havana Thursday. Families, who were chosen by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami and Abriendo Puertas, will receive a turkey, fixings and desserts for their Thanksgiving meal between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. near the new Marlins ballpark at NW 7th Street and NW 14th Avenue in Little Havana.
When the Miami Dolphins take the field against the Chicago Bears Thursday night, they will be debuting a new quarterback who they hope will finally get the offense into the end zone on a consistent basis.
Chris Bosh scored a season-high 35 points, LeBron James finished with 20 points and the Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 123-96 on Wednesday night.
Power-hitting second baseman Dan Uggla was dealt from the Florida Marlins to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday for infielder Omar Infante and left-hander Mike Dunn in the first trade of the general managers' meetings.
Former Dolphins starting quarterback Chad Henne was trying get healthy for the Fins' Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears. But after missing his last two practices due to a knee injury, the Fins will turn to QB Tyler Thigpen again to try and rally the team to another victory.
Miami lost both Chads to the Titans. Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Chad Henne and Chad Pennington both left Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans after being injured.
Two Florida runners have won half-marathon titles in the Key Largo Bridge Run. Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Gardner of Miami finished the men's race Saturday in 1 hour, 28 minutes and 55 seconds.
Paging Pat Riley. Those may be the words coming from the mouths of Miami Heat fans soon. While it's long been expected he would take over the team if they looked finals bound, the Heat look nowhere like the Dream Team they were labeled and are barely above .500 for the season.
The Big 4 of the Boston Celtics again proved to be too much for the Miami Heat's Big 3 Thursday night. The Celtics' Ray Allen hit his first seven 3-point tries and finished with 35 points to pace the Celtics.
The Miami Dolphins announced a stunning move Wednesday when they said Chad Pennington will start ahead of incumbent Chad Henne. It's a rapid fall for Henne who started up to this point in the season, but could never get the Fins offense in a good rhythm.
