Looks like you might be missing an item in the grab bag.
Fixed.
Arco Arena is the former home of the Sacramento Kings, this says Clippers
Right. Fixed.

Kings, not Clippers.
Klay Thompson has never played a game for an Eastern Conference team and has never been an Eastern Conference All-Star.
Good catch. I removed all the “his” descriptors.
Rammstein just played at US Bank Stadium back at the end of August, so Flake must have picked up a Vikings jersey then.
According to its Wikipedia entry, ARCO Arena is now demolished. So I wouldn’t call it abandoned anymore.
Boston College going with the “Red Bandana” uniforms this Saturday versus Clemson.

Did I read the Notre Dam Shamrock Series piece correctly? As best I can tell, there is no mention of an opponent. Maybe it’s a scrimmage.
The band is actually called “Strand of Oaks”.
Thanks. Fixed!
BYU thought Air Force looked good last week and said, let’s try that!
As Cake taught me
“Welcome to the Kings’ palace
Arco Arena”
Almost interesting, and maybe a little unusual, that of the 17 Livingstone soccer players, all of them wear their hair long. None have hair short enough not to go in a pony tail. Not sure why I noticed that. And maybe it’s not that unusual.
