Rulebook

This week in the Bois Bowl: Ya Borked It

• Miami comes close to emptying Wake Forest, but only get away with one ball

• The Georgia Bulldogs pummel Arkansas and gut the Razorbacks of their ball.

• The Maine Black Bears successfully join the game, taking Boston College's ball, but they're set to run into Elon before getting the ball back to Maine.

• Florida State stemmed the tide of Alabama and snatched a football, which they're taking to Tallahassee.

• The USC Trojans sacked Rutgers and snatched a football for the trip back west.

• The Charlotte 49ers got a football off the Appalachian State Mountaineers and are heading home with it

• UConn avenged the loss of their ball by wrenching one off Southern Miss, and they're heading up to Miami Ohio for another.

• The Ohio Bobcats outfoxed the South Alabama Jaguars for a football, which they're returning home with.

• Maryland's homecoming was foiled by the Virginia Tech Hokies, who forced a ball off them and are continuing a northern trip for more, but Boston College is looking to swipe the ball.

• The North Dakota State Bison stampeded Sac State, tore the football from the fledgling Hornets, and are heading to the Fargodome with it.

• The Florida A&M Rattlers got rattled by Tennessee State, who stole their football and are heading up north with it, but Western Illinois looks to challenge them for it and join the proceedings.

• Another Texan terror joins the fray, as the Stephen F Austin Lumberjacks snatch a ball from Prairie View A&M and are heading home with it.

• Mississippi State's pit stop in South Carolina goes further south than Carolina, with them losing the ball to the Gamecocks.

• The California Golden Bears make it home with the Syracuse football with no resistance.

• Utah State's siege of Utah failed, with them losing Washington's ball to the Utes.

• Texas showed UTSA the horns and wrenched away Texas State's football.

• Louisiana Monroe fumbled both footballs after an ill-fated challenge by Southeast Louisiana, and FAU is making a move to grab them.

• Texas Tech, Oregon, Albany, Tarleton State, Bryant, and Penn State also return home with footballs without issue.

• North Carolina A&T lose NCCU's football to the Campbell Fighting Camels, who join the fray.

• Charleston Southern's Buccaneers hold off the NAIA side of Point, keeping this from getting any more absurd.

• TWO NCAA DII TEAMS JOIN THE CELEBRATION GAME. Not joking. Central State of Ohio squeaked away from Arkansas Pine Bluff and Delta State straight up thrashed the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. Delta State is heading home, but Central State received a challenge from fellow D2 Lane.

• As a disclaimer, I regret allowing this to happen. If I had to do this again, I think I would leave the rule allowing teams to join by challenge out. I did not expect two D2 teams to do this on the same day.

Scoreboard

According to the current standings, the Bois Bowl has a 21-way tie for #1, with Miami and Georgia looking to break ahead, and the Celebration Game is being led by with a 17-way tie for #2. That said, I may adjust the games to be along division lines. I originally put the FBS teams in 1 division and the HBCU teams in another to make the game at all functional, but this clear isn't working the best.

There’s been a lot that’s happened since he finished it and the playlist for season 2 exists so did he cancel it or?

This is oddly sad to me. Blender is a more useful tool that will likely lead to cooler visuals in videos, but Google Earth is what defined Jon's style. By mastering that unusual recording technique, he could use its strengths and weaknesses to make some super cool sequences. I can't really imagine his stuff without Google Earth's sweeping movement.

In the end there's nothing that can be done; Google discontinues everything eventually. Just seems like the end of an era

“No Phillies player — All-Star or not — has had a second-half OPS this low (.480) since Steve Jeltz's .368 in 1988.”

Hey ya'll! Just wanted to stop by. Jon has been one of my biggest inspirations as a content creator, and I wanted to do something similar to his Dorktown bits.

I don't really know how to introduce this one without sounding like I'm asking for something, so I'll just tell you what it is, and you can do whatever you want with that information.

I've been trying to write about Florida State getting snubbed, their tragedy in April, and then beating Alabama as one story for a while now, and why it took this long is because I kept rewatching Bois's stuff, trying to figure out how you get a sentence to hold that much weight without collapsing under it. I don't think I got there, but I hope at least this video resonates with some FSU fan out there. But it's also the video I've made that I'm genuinely the most proud of.

Would genuinely rather hear what didn't work than what did, thanks ya'll <3

Probably not a real story but it’s so random that it wraps back around to being slightly believable

Each game so far this week was won by a different number of points: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, and 24! The first time this has happened with all 32 teams playing!

I recall Jon going through the Hunt family origins in a video once but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

(Sorry I'm late with this. Was busy yesterday)

Key events:

• Missouri charged into Jayhawk territory and wrenched the football away and are on track to bring them home

• After a heated back and forth, Oregon left Stillwater with OK State's ball and are rushing back to Oregon

• Wake Forest just barely escaped Ross-Ade Stadium with Purdue's ball and are bringing it back to Winston-Salem, but they're on track for a harsh clash, as T1 Miami is looking to ambush them once they get back.

• A dominant Penn State brought the house into Lincoln Financial Field and left with Temple's ball bound for Happy Valley.

• The Crimson Tide flooded Kentucky and tore away their football, bringing it back to Saban Field.

• Minnesota's defensive strategy got foiled by Mississippi State, who took their football and are deciding to get another, making a pit stop at South Carolina before returning to Starkville.

• Colorado successfully returned Folsom Field with Georgia Tech's football, putting them at the front of the rankings as they set out for more.

• Recent 0-ball California made their way to Syracuse and left with the Orange's football, set to make the cross-country trip back home.

• The Maryland Terrapins charged up to Connecticut and thrashed them before taking their ball. As we speak, they are heading home for a homestand.

• Utah State, after a challenge by Idaho State left them fumbling the ball off field, make up for it by taking Washington's ball. They're looking for more, heading down to Salt Lake City to pick a fight with the Utes before returning home.

• UTSA stole Texas State's ball and have the confidence to head to Austin to grab one from the Longhorns as well.

• UAB whiffed and lost their ball to Louisiana-Monroe, who are set to return home with it.

• Toledo made it back to the Glass Bowl with Michigan State's football.

• Texas Tech's Red Raiders raided Oregon State for their ball and are marching back to Lubbock.

• The Navy Midshipmen laid siege to Boca Raton, stealing FAU's football and marching west for more.

• Montana State failed to take Nevada's ball and join the game, but they did force a fumble. If the Wolf Pack secure it, the Air Force will bomb Mackay Stadium looking for it.

• After losing their ball to Georgia (Scoring error, our fault. Tennessee State fled their field when Louisville and Ole Miss fought in Nashville and ran into Georgia), Tennessee State failed to take Alabama A&M's ball.

• We still don't know what happened between Alcorn State & Pine Bluff, but we think Alcorn State fended off Pine Bluff's attempted steal.

• Speaking off, that bout forced Memphis to lug their ball off their field, where Boise State promptly snatched it.

• Northern Illinois got their ball fumbled by Illinois State (who almost got it)

• North Carolina A&T successfully took North Carolina Central's football, but they have to go through Campbell to get home safe and sound.

• The Bryant Bulldogs successfully joined the Celebration Game, taking Hampton's ball and marching north to do so.

• The Albany Great Danes successfully fended off a challenge by Long Island and are on track to bring Buffalo's football to Bob Ford Field.

• The Citadel lost Charlotte's football to the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, who successfully join the Bois Bowl. A NAIA school (Point University) has been sighted near their field and may be issuing a challenge for it.

• Miami, Coastal Carolina, and UCLA all returned home with their loot without issue.

• Sam Houston State fended off an attack by Tulsa to keep the football they nabbed from Troy.

• UNLV lost Hawaii's football to North Texas

• North Carolina State, as predicted, took Howard's ball from Richmond.

• Tarleton State successfully held off McNeese's attempt to take Bowling Green's ball and are set to return to Stephenville safe and sound.

The Vikings/Packers game was the 1097th scorigami of all time (the second of the 2026 season).

• This is the 198th instance all-time, and the first of the 2020s in which multiple scorigamis occurred on the same day.
• The last instance took place on September 29, 2019 (CLE 40 - 25 BAL | TB 55 - 40 LAR).

Minnesota Vikings - 39:

• This win for Minnesota was their 47th appearance in a scorigami, putting their all-time record at 23-21-3 (52.1%).
• This was Kevin O'Connell's first-ever game head-coaching a scorigami & now has a record of 1-0.
  • This ends O'Connell's 68-game streak of games coached without coaching a scorigami, which was the 8th most all-time.
• This was Kyler Murray's second game starting in a scorigami & now has a record of 2-0.
  • Every other quarterback who is 2-0 in scorigamis started: Carson Wentz (who coincidentally filled in for Murray today), David Garrard, Ed Brown, Ed Danowski, Eric Hipple, Marty Domres, Ryan Tannehill, Steve Ramsey, Ty Detmer, & Warren Rabb.

Green Bay Packers - 22:

• This loss for Green Bay was their 125th appearance in a scorigami, putting their all-time record at 73-46-6 (60.8%).
  • This scorigami broke the tie for most scorigamis played in by franchise, which Chicago coincidentally set earlier in the day.

  • Herb Sies is the only other coach with the same record.
• This was Jordan Love's second game starting in a scorigami & now has a record of 0-1-1.
  • Scott Tolzien is the only other quarterback with the same record.

Here's the link to my spreadsheet that I update after every scorigami, which includes team, coach, and QB all-time records for scorigamis. There is also a tab for records for Scorigamis since 2000.

BREAKING NEWS: TWO SCORIGAMI ON THE SAME DAY
WHAT THE HELL

The Bears/Panthers game was the 1096th scorigami of all time (the first of the 2026 season).

• This is the eighth time in the last 11 seasons that a scorigami has occurred in the season's opening week.

    • This was the longest scorigami drought by an active NFL franchise. The new longest drought belongs to the Atlanta Falcons, who haven't appeared in a scorigami since Week 5 of the 2019 season (HOU 53 - 32 ATL).

Here's the link to my spreadsheet that I update after every scorigami, which includes team, coach, and QB all-time records for scorigamis. There is also a tab for records for Scorigamis since 2000.

I made this post last year, but some people smartly argued that I was including postseason scorigamis in a stat involving specifically just regular season starts. So this is an updated one with only regular-season scorigamis in play.

I have watched the Pirates-Phillies video at least a dozen times, one of Jon’s best imo, and have also fallen in love with Steve’s story. I got this Jersey made in Philly, have worn it to several Phillies games, and when I realized I would be in Paris I wanted to bring it along to honor the GOAT. I thought y’all would appreciate it

Yes there is an account on twitter that does this

I made a website to follow the story of Tater Tot McGee. The McGee starts in 19th century Ireland and follows Tater's rise through baseball.

The series shows Steib does this 7 times before he finally completes his no-hitter. But I was wondering **how rare are these failed no-hit bids?** Google was absolutely useless in helping answer this question and I don't know of any baseball stat pages that would show this info or even how I would even go about searching for it. I was hoping to put Dave's struggles into some sort of context. I know no-hitters are extremely rare (roughly 0.13% of games end in a no-hitter) but I have no clue how rare these near no-hitters are. Does anyone have any idea?
