CALL IT A THEORY ONLY ,,, BUT TRYING TO EXPLAIN VAR'S INCONSISTENCIES ISN'T EASY

  The following is Part I of a 2-part series about what should be a major concern when it comes to what is ailing The World’s Most Popular Sport … as well as once-dominant Manchester United. TELL THE TRUTH … if you believe in conspiracy theories, look no further than professional soccer at its highest level ... I’m not talking about the players, who would appear most likely to be corrupted and, thereby, control the outcome of games to the satisfaction of the   wise guys on behalf of the betting public. Some undoubtedly have, the cynic of longstanding said.  Nor do I mean game officials – although curious results difficult to explain by any other way have become more and more prevalent. No, would you believe no-name people who sit in front of large TV-like monitors, hidden from sight usually miles away from the game site, and make decisions that could be worth millions of dollars, pounds, lire, pesos, etc., to millions of gamblers around the world? And invariably are? Actu...

COULD UVA LOSE COACH TO CLEMSON? DON'T BET AGAINST IT

You might have noticed Virginia worked its way into the  Associated Press Top 25 – barely – this week … thanks to some  curious goings on in Ann Arbor Mich., where the home team  edged heavy dog Western Michigan 13-12 on a last-play Hail  Mary … even though the clock clearly ran out on the previous  snap. And, while the NCAA refused to overturn the result, the  Wolverines were made to pay, nevertheless, by the wire-service  voters who dropped them from No.16 to nowhere to be found. Don’t be surprised if UVA, 2-0 after Friday night’s 59-3 home  rout of second-tier Norfolk State, finishes among the top 10.  For the second straight season, coach  TONY ELLIOTT’S   Cavaliers have used the transfer portal well … most notably at  quarterback where  BEAU PRIBULA  came from Missouri to  replace last year’s one-and-done  CHANDLER MORRIS  who  led them to a school-record 11 wins (3 losses) and runner-up for...

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS FOR MICHIGAN

  OF ALL COLLEGE THINGS:   ---- THE LAUGHTER you hear comes from SEC Haters of the  World now that new LSU football coach  LANE KIFFIN  has  brought such chaos that the league has scheduled a meeting  Thursday with the possible outcome removal of the school from  the conference … unlikely though it may seem. With the recent attempt by a handful of NFL rejects, with  remaining college eligibility, to return to their respective  schools of greater learning ... being seen generally as against  the greater good, the SEC presidents, who allegedly control  such things, voted 15-0 (with one abstention) to ignore a court  order and tell them they would not be welcome. Kiffin, meanwhile, decided he knew better and said he would  use a couple of former team members … who were placed on  the roster but did not appear in the season-opening 51-10 rout  of Clemson. Now, despite the presidential ruling, Kiffin  contin...
