My thoughts by Paul M. Dugan

 A few thoughts with college football polls & college basketball ( men & women ) polls also on here.  It was the first time ND allowed beer sale at ND stadium, hockey & basketball.  Issues at ND stadium with beer drinking as being reported.  State of college football is ok when you think you’re ready to be back it does you wrong.  What happens to Penn. state football this season when they decided to change thier head coach?  Franklin was shocked being let ago and title maybe elsewhere.   AP poll for Men’s college basketball as of Oct. 13th, 2025: Purdue Houston Florida Conn.

Washington, D.C. detailed sports update: Washington Commanders ( NFL ) season is going well at the start. Washington Capitals ( NHL ) - off season. Washington Wizards ( NBA ) - off season. Washington Mystics ( WNBA ) - season over since playoff have started. D.C. United ( MLS ) - season is still going on. Washington Spirit ( NWSL ) - season is still going on. I don’t know why MUFC is playing this way in my book.  What’s your take on this?   Premier League is unpredictable this days I guess.

  Hi there…,          As mid-September arises.    I am just writing this random note on whim on what I am thinking this days.    The parents & I have a porch so since all the nice weather helps us to be able to use it wore.    Our weather has gotten much better in August/September after the Hot/muggy July that we had this past summer.    All of this sports going on & the political tirades down here in Washington , D.C.    This is what I am saying about it all.    This might be in my blog also.    Both NFL both teams are starting good & bad at this time (Cleveland Browns - Washington Commanders - maybe Philadelphia Eagles also) & hope they get better quickly.     Great news about the commanders are heading back to RFK site I heard.    What’s up with that!!!    My EuroFootball & MLS teams that I route for are Manchester United F...
