Week two of the college football season is quite a letdown after a loaded first weekend. Still, there are plenty of things to keep an eye on.BEST GAMEArkansas at No. 15 TCU. Not a lot from which to choose on the menu this week, but the Horned Frogs are considered a Big 12 contender and the Razorbacks aspire to push Alabama in the SEC West.Neither team looked capable of those lofty goals last week. Arkansas had a one-point victory against Louisiana Tech and TCU got into a scorefest with FCS South Dakota State before pulling away in the fourth quarter. Maybe both were looking ahead?The style matchup could provide some intrigue. Bret Bielemas Hogs, ideally, like to ground-and-pound. Gary Pattersons Frogs play fast and like to go deep.Subplot: The SEC got knocked around a little in week one. This is its best shot this week to get some bragging rights back.HEISMAN WATCHLouisville quarterback Lamar Jackson gets a Friday night spotlight game after accounting for eight touchdowns last week against Charlotte. Eight!In a season with lots of big stars, Jackson is a B-list Heisman contender for now. The next two weeks could get his name on the marquee.Syracuse is good spot to show off and get some momentum before Florida State comes to Louisville on Sept. 17. Two weeks after that the Cardinals go to Clemson. Knock off the `Noles or the Tigers (or both) and Jackson could jump to the front of the Heisman pack.NUMBERS TO KNOW11 -- The second-longest winning streak in the country belongs to San Diego State. The Aztecs streak is also the second-longest in school history. They won 21 in a row under the great Don Coryell from 1968-70. San Diego State faces California on Saturday and the Aztecs are seven-point favorites against the Pac-12 team.14 -- Number of tackles for loss allowed by Auburn, most in the nation. The Tigers play coach Gus Malzahns old team, Arkansas State. The Red Wolves had six tackles for loss in a loss to Toledo last week.16 -- Number of years it has been since Penn State and Pitt played. The Nittany Lions and Panthers renew a rivalry on Saturday in Pittsburgh that many Penn State supporters seem to view as more of a nuisance than an obligation.16.7 -- Average yards per pass attempt for Western Kentucky QB Mike White, best in the nation by more than three years. The Hilltoppers play No. 1 Alabama on Saturday.OFF THE RADARNew Mexico State hosts New Mexico in the 106th edition of the Rio Grande rivalry. The Lobos have won four straight after the Aggies had taken three straight. Overall, New Mexico holds a 70-31-5 lead.COACH IN NEED OF A WINKentuckys Mark Stoops started an important season with a deflating loss to Southern Mississippi last week. The Wildcats led by 25 in the first half and lost 44-35 at home. Now they visit Florida, trying to snap a 29-game losing streak to the Gators.It is the longest current losing streak (or winning streak, depending on your perspective) in an uninterrupted series and the fourth longest such streak in major college football history.Stoops has had three losing season at Kentucky so simply getting to six wins and bowl eligibility would be a step forward. Its going to be much tougher to get there now, though a $12 million buyout likely increases his security in Lexington.Wholesale Vans Authentic .

LeBron: The Musical, thats what.The video, which took the title song from Hamilton: The Musical and catered the lyrics to describe LeBron James storied career, went viral this week and caught the attention of James himself.Its great, James said Wednesday of the four-minute ode produced by Dose, an online media company. Its unbelievable, actually.The vignette opens with an actor dressed as Stephen Curry -- complete with full Golden State Warriors uniform, Under Armour sneakers and mouthguard hanging from his lips -- narrating James life.How do you block him, stop him, run out the clock on the sportsman, four-time MVP with more time on the court? he sings. As a freshman, the best of them. Gets celebrated, then hated, then back and fully decorated.There are also actors dressed as Dwyane Wade in a Chicago Bulls (and Miami Heat) uniform, Chris Bosh in a Heat jersey, Kyrie Irving in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform and Michael Jordan in a suit with six championship rings sparkling on his fingers. The actor who plays James has many costume changes, from James high school uniform, to the checkered shirt he wore for the TV special The Decision, to the all-black getup he donned for his Sports Illustrated cover shoot announcing his return to Cleveland.It was basically the whole journey, up until this point, James said. So, obviously theyve done their homework and they were pretty much spot on. And the visuals were pretty cool too. You know, all the different characters and different uniforms and different jerseys and things of that nature. Ive done soomething right up until this point with my career to see someone be able to take the time out of their days to do something like that.dddddddddddd Its pretty cool.Hamilton, which won 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, as well as a Grammy and a Pulitzer Prize in 2016, was in the news last week after a cast member addressed Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage with Pence in the crowd for the performance.We, sir -- we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, said Brandon Dixon, the actor playing Aaron Burr. We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.Dose debuted LeBron: The Musical, while the Pence story was still making headlines as President-elect Donald Trump, via Twitter, called for the cast to apologize to Pence.James said he was not turned off by the timing.No, no, James said. I just watched it from an open mind and was pretty much like, This is really cool that they would take the time out of their schedules to put something like that together. It was a major shout-out to all the cast members who had something to do with that.James has yet to see Hamilton in person, but said he recognized the music used in the video about him. He said he wanted to see it when he was in New York for an engagement this summer, but could not pull it off.The scheduling just didnt work out and I was kind of upset about it, James said. Im definitely going to see it. ' ' '
