Ryan Mueller got a scholarship this summer and now he's getting some playing time on the defensive line to give the starters a break. And he'll probably never forget to keep his phone charged again.
Former Miami defensive lineman Dan Sileo is very angry about the Hurricanes' loss to K-State. So angry, in fact, that he advocates on-field violence against Collin Klein. That's not very nice, Dan.

K-State Golf
As mentioned a couple weeks ago, former K-State golfer Robert Streb will earn his PGA Tour card after a victory on the Web.com Tour a couple weeks ago pushed his yearly earnings into the qualifying range.

College Basketball
UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun is retiring.
