As the last week of September comes to a close, many new sports events approach us as October looms closer than ever. But before we dwell into what’s to come, let’s discuss what went down during this week in the sports world (more specifically, the teams that I actually care about). In College Football, our own Oklahoma Sooners battled out a close one with West Virginia as they won by a final of 16-13, winning the game on a game-winning field goal by kicker Gabe Brkic. In the NFL, the Texans took an absolute beating against the much-more competent Carolina Panthers, in which they lost 9-24. Surprise, Surprise, Texans are hot garbage, who could’ve seen that coming! On the bright side, there’s one Houston sports team that isn’t complete trash, and that’s the Astros (no pun intended). They’re looking to wrap up the division and secure their 4th AL West title in the past 5 years, and their magic number to clinch currently stands at a minuscule 2. Their next series is against Tampa at home, and although they’re coming off a sweep against Oakland on the road, being in front of the home crowd should give the boys enough confidence to get the job done. Well, that’s it for this week, and for more, check out next week’s edition, but until then, I’m Evan Rebhorn, and this has been my weekly sports recap.
