Stomping Ground Sports
August 25, 2024
What other way could the College Football season start? A STUMPSET!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? What a day for Georgia Tech as they STUNNED Florida State to open the CFB Season yesterday! A fun time to be a sports fan! Today we’ve got Day 4 of Golf, more Preseason Football, and A LOT MORE. And did Floyd Mayweather actually fight yesterday? He absolutely did!
People Aren’t Talking Enough About…
⚽️ Erling Haaland - Manchester City 🔵
In the US we often hear the same names over and over again. We hear about LeBron and Steph. We hear about Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Even in the world of soccer, we hear about Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappe.
Even casual soccer fans will know the name Erling Haaland but this for those who do not.
The 24-year-old is an absolute SUPERSTAR for Manchester City in the Premier League. He has been on an exponential incline these past few seasons and looks like we are getting closer and closer to the summit.
Yesterday Manchester City faced off against Ipswich Town. They won handily 4-1 largely in part because of a HAT TRICK (3 goals in one match) from the Norwegian superstar.
A quick little stat about him. Yesterday marked his 101st appearance for Man City. And it was his 10TH HAT TRICK. Most players will never record a Hat Trick in their careers and he’s churning them out at almost a 10% rate! It’s insane!

On This Day…
In 2020, Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito threw a NO-HITTER against the Pirates in what was a 4-0 victory for the White Sox. They went on to make the postseason both in 2020 and 2021.
Just three years later they are now the worst team in Baseball by a wide margin. Remember the good days Chicago!

Talking Points
🏈 STUMPSET to Start the College Football Season
College Football is SOOOO BACK! The most controversial moment of last year’s playoff scene was no doubt the 12-0 Florida State Seminoles being left out of the 4-team playoff. They had a chance yesterday to start off hot against Georgia Tech.
The two teams collided in DUBLIN, IRELAND for the first game of the college football season. It ended in the only way it possibly could have…with a game-winning Field Goal as time expired.
And no, not for the 10-point favorite Florida State Seminoles. It instead was a gritty, gutsy, and gluey performance from the Yellow Jackets that got the win!
Watch out for THE YELLOW JACKETS!
🥊 Yes. Floyd Mayweather Just Fought Again!
Nope, that’s not a typo. All of this hype about Mike Tyson and Jake Paul and their fight which seems like it’s been talked about for a year now. But then quietly Floyd “MONEY” Mayweather got back within the ropes!
In his latest exhibition match last night, he put on a clinic in a rematch against John Gotti III. Their bout lasted 8 rounds and Floyd looked smooth the whole way through. No winner was declared as it was an unofficial contest but Big FLOYD was in control the whole time!
Are we going to get a Rocky 8 next?? Seems like everybody is coming back! Hey, I’m not complaining!
⛳️ 18 Holes Left at the BMW Championship
Well we’re down to 18 holes left in Colorado. Adam Scott’s 3-stroke lead has disappeared quicker than CMC in Fantasy Drafts!
Team USA Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has regained his spot atop the leaderboard with a score of -12. As we’ve discussed Keegan is on the outside looking in for next weeks continuation of the FedEx Cup and a win here would be huge!
It’s Sunday! It’s Day 4! A lot can happen. Watch out Keegan because the old wolf Scott and the youngster ABERG are both on your tail!
Standings:
K. Bradley (-12)
A. Scott (-11)
L. Aberg (-10)
A. Noren (-10)
X. Shauffele (-7)

Trivia Answer:
E. 1963! In the home of Wilfred “Bill” Winkenbach in Oakland, California! Bill was a limited partner of the Raiders at the time. He created the game with the help of fellow Bill, Bill Tunnel, the Raiders PR director at the time! From a small house in Oakland to in the households of almost every football fan there is! Way to be Bill!
