Golfer Hailey Ostrom will never be accused of being unable to multitask.
asserted
Ostrom → accuse → ?
Not when she has multiple defenses of summer in a bikini armed with her golf club under her belt.
asserted
she → have → belt
And not when she's hitting the golf course out in Arizona in the middle of her 31 days of Halloween costumes either. Which, unlike Paige Spiranac, I'm happy to report she is still doing.
asserted
she → hit → Spiranac
I put my Big J suspenders on for this one.
asserted
I → put → one
I thought I remembered seeing Hailey's Halloween announcement earlier this month, but I wanted to confirm that it was indeed from this year after seeing her smashing golf balls on an Arizona course.
asserted
her → think → course
Sometimes you get wrapped up in things and your focus turns toward other types of content.
asserted
focus → wrap → content
I wouldn’t go as far as saying that I doubted Hailey Ostrom's ability to multitask.
asserted
I → go → ability
That didn’t happen.
asserted
That → happen → ?
I thought perhaps she could have shifted her focus, as it appears Paige has done.
uncertain
Paige → think → focus
Now to be fair to Paige, she did hit the golf course recently in an interesting Willy Wonka Halloween costume.
asserted
she → hit → costume
However, her annual 31 days of churning out Halloween costumes appears to have come to an end.
asserted
days → churn → end
Hailey, and yes, I do ignore the Boston Red Sox fandom because I can separate the art from the artist, kicked off her 31 days of Halloween with a classic Velma from Scooby-Doo themed costume.
asserted
I → ignore → costume
No. 1 loses to an unranked opponent for the second week in a row
Last week was a rough week for the Top 25.
asserted
week → lose → Top
While technically another rough week for the Top 25, the Top 10, had it particularly rough.
asserted
it → have → Top
Following in the footsteps of Texas last week, the new No. 1 Georgia was bitten by the apparent curse of the top spot.

Indiana → end → years
No. 6 Alabama lost for the second time this season.

Alabama → lose → time
They couldn’t get the job done on the road against No. 14 Tennessee.
asserted
job → get → Tennessee
Another team who added a second loss to their record was No. 7 Texas.
asserted
who → add → record
That's two in a row for the Longhorns to unranked opponents as Florida went into Austin on Saturday and left with a 27-24 win.
asserted
Florida → go → win
Back-to-back losses to unranked teams is a work of art to someone like me with a team that may not win another game all season.
uncertain
that → win → game
There were a couple of positives mixes in there for the Top 10, but who really wants to be ranked No. 1 right now after two straight losses to unranked opponents?
asserted
who → be → opponents
To Homebrew Bill

Homebrew Bill,
The Huskers loss to Indiana was indeed a heartbreaker.
asserted

One field goal away from taking the Hoosiers into OT, where who knows what might have happened
uncertain
what → take → OT
Nebraska put a scare into the Hoosiers and came away with a quality loss.
asserted
Nebraska → put → loss
Not much comfort but I'm sure your grilled pork chops did the trick.
asserted
chops → grill → trick
(A win against the Buckeyes would make my year!!!)

Hope you have a pièce de résistance ready for the grill for the OSU game.
asserted

How could I miss this?
uncertain
I → miss → this
It's a slightly less miserable version of my childhood, which came during their last championship drought, and included multiple losing seasons.

This drought doesn’t have the losing seasons, as far as the records are concerned, and miserable teams.
asserted
records → have → seasons
Over the last several seasons, they continue to make the same mistakes.
asserted
they → continue → mistakes
I'm not expecting anything different as long as the same people are running things.

One for Da Coach

As a 30 year veteran of tailgating in the south parking lot at Soldier Field, (82-12) it was my unfortunate honor, to figure out a proper tribute, this Sunday, for the passing of one of footballs most iconic figures.
