There have been no palindromic scores in 57 games completed so far today. There have been 15 palindromic scores in 1,824 games this season. It's been two terrifying weeks since the last palindromic score.

I watched part of an A&M game a week or 2 ago. They are rebuilding. In fact, that's the only reason Gary Blair came back - to prove he could rebuild. He is the only coach older than Vivian (that I know of).

Cal did pull of the upset. Oregon State still tight late in the 3rd.
