Day 2FinalsThe grand final of the 2016 Hearthstone World Championships was a European showdown between Artem DrHippi Kravets and Pavel Pavel Beltukov. DrHippi got out to an early 1-0 lead on the back of his Dragon Warrior against the slower CThun Warrior of Pavel. He looked poised to take a 2-0 lead, but a big Flamestrike from Pavel cleared DrHippis board and swung the momentum enough to tie the series at one apiece. Game 3 was a classic Druid vs. Druid showdown, with both players jockeying for position all game long. DrHippi tried to turn the tides with a Yogg-Saron play, but it came up short and Pavel locked up the 2-1 lead.Game 4 was another classic matchup between CThun Warrior from Pavel and the Malygos Druid of DrHippi. In the late-game oriented matchup, the outcome wasnt clear for quite some time. DrHippi once again tried to make a power play with his Yogg-Saron, but it ended up killing itself before doing much damage. Pavel then used his CThun to clean, thus winning the game and the showdown between Old Gods. Not content to go quietly into the night, DrHippi grabbed a win in Game 5 with his Zoo Warlock. He controlled the board all game long and was able to easily defeat the Malygos Rogue from Pavel.With his back still against the wall, DrHippi pulled out his Druid once again to try and top Pavels Rogue. But for the third time this series, DrHippis Druid came up short. Pavel brought out a massive 10/10 Edwin Van Cleef that essentially won him the game and the right to be crowned the 2016 Hearthstone World Champion.SemifinalsCheonsu vs. DrHippiThe second semifinal of the day saw Kim Cheonsu Cheonsu take on Artem DrHippi Kravets for the last spot in the grand finals of the 2016 Hearthstone World Championship. Another series, another 1-1 tie to start things off. While Cheonsu took Game 1 with a big Malygos swing turn, DrHippi put his faith in the Old Gods and took Game 2 with some Yogg-Saron magic. Game 3 was fairly straightforward, with Cheonsu using his Midrange Shaman to defeat DrHippis Tempo Mage.DrHippi bounced back in a big way in the final three games of the series. After a strong win with his Zoo deck against Dragon Warrior in Game 4, DrHippi put his faith in The Firelord, which helped him grab a 3-2 lead. His Ragnaros was an absolute sniper, as it hit on both a 50/50 and 1-in-3 shot to fuel a big comeback. He then closed out the series with a Game 6 that saw DrHippis Tempo Mage prevail against the Dragon Warrior of Cheonsu.Jasonzhou vs. PavelThe first semifinal of the day saw Jason Jasonzhou Zhou take on Pavel Pavel Beltukov for a chance at the grand finals. The first two games were tightly contested, with both players taking a game apiece. Jasonzhou grabbed a Game 1 win with a late-game, top-decked Doomguard for lethal, while Pavel used some early ramp cards to top Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior in Game 2. Pavel took his Tempo Mage into Games 3 and 4, but he posted two very different results. He couldnt overcome Malygos Druid in Game 3, but parlayed an RNG-filled final play with a Firelance Portal to take down Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior to tie the series at 2-2.An early misplay with an unactivated Edwin Van Cleef from Jasonzhou left him at a huge disadvantage in a Game 5 Rogue mirror, essentially gifting Pavel the win. Needing just one more win to claim the series, Pavel used his CThun Warrior to take down Jasonzhou with a big late-game, 14/14 CThun that locked up the game and his spot in the grand finals.Day 1QuarterfinalsHotMEOWTH vs. DrHippiIn the final quarterfinal of the day, America saw its last hope, Edwin HotMEOWTH Cook, take on the European powerhouse, Artem DrHippi Kravetz. When the deck lists were submitted for the tournament, HotMEOWTHs Warrior deck was the biggest story, as it was an extremely unique variation of the once feared Grim Patron deck. As a result, fans were eager to see the deck in action and HotMEOWTH gladly obliged, opting to use the deck throughout the series.That became a major misstep, as DrHippi won the series in convincing fashion, sweeping HotMEOWTHs Warrior deck in four straight games. Ragnaros the Firelord closed out Game 1 for DrHippi, but he had to earn the rest of the wins in very close matchups. A terrific play with the Midrange Shaman during Game 3 was the highlight of the series, as DrHippi managed to weave through constant board clears to find a 21 damage Bloodlust combo for the win.Cydonia vs. CheonsuThe third quarterfinal matchup was a battle between Julien Cydonia Perrault of Canada and Kim Cheonsu Cheonsu, representing the last hope of the Asia-Pacific Region. Game 1 would wind up being the only competitive match, as the two Warrior archetypes -- Cydonias Control vs. Cheonsus Dragon -- came down to the wire. The decks proved evenly matched as it was never clear who would win until the very end. Despite four straight turns within two damage of lethal, Cheonsu could not find the necessary damage, falling to Cydonia in Game 1. That would be Cydonias only win, however, as Cheonsu was able to take command from there. After his Zoo Warlock took out Cydonias Tempo Mage deck in Game 2, Cydonia committed to his Secret Hunter deck, a move that backfired spectacularly as he lost the final three games. Cheonsu will face the winner of the Edwin HotMEOWTH Cook and Artem DrHippi Kravetz matchup in the semifinals tomorrow.Amnesiac vs. PavelThe second quarterfinals series saw William Amnesiac Barton take on Pavel Pavel Beltukov in a battle between North America vs. Europe. Early on, Amnesiac looked poised to take an easy sweep over the European player. He won a hotly contested Game 1 by putting his faith in The Firelord, relying on a ridiculous 33 percent lethal Ragnaros shot to win the first game before easily taking Games 2 and 3. From there, the tides shifted and Pavel made a roaring comeback, completing the reverse sweep on the back of some incredible microplays and game-changing RNG. Every time it looked like Amnesiac had stabilized, Pavel drew into the perfect answer and kept on rolling. With the win, Pavel will now move on to face Jason Jasonzhou Zhou in the semifinals.Jasonzhou vs. HamsterJason Jasonzhou Zhao was able to grab a 4-2 win over Zhuo Hamster Wang during the first quarterfinal matchup of the weekend. The start of the series appeared to be close as each player managed to split the first two games, but Jasonzhou pulled away as the series progressed. Facing a 3-1 lead, Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior wasnt able to claim the series win in Game 5 thanks to a late Ragnaros draw, which allowed Hamster to heal himself out of lethal range, and force a concede. But Jasonzhou was able to bounce back and earn the win thanks to yet another strong Dragon Warrior Play in Game 6. Vapormax Off White Blanche .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head.

This was no night to go to sleep. College football in Texas has hit a low point not seen for nearly two decades.There were no teams from the state of Texas ranked in The Associated Press poll this week for the first time since Sept. 14, 1997. Depending how the bowl season goes, this could be a first of sorts for Texas college football in the 80-year history of the AP poll .The only times that no Texas schools were ranked in the final AP poll came in 1965 and 1967 , when rankings only went to 10. But in those seasons, at least one Texas school was among 10 others receiving votes.It will be up to Houston (9-3) and Texas A&M (8-4) to keep the state from being shut out of the final rankings.Houston and Texas A&M had been ranked the previous week but both fell out after losses. At points this season, Baylor, TCU and Texas had also spent time in the Top 25, but all three have limped to disappointing seasons. The Cougars and Aggies could be the only Texas teams to finish the regular season over .500 if Baylor and TCU lose this weekend. Only half of the states 12 FBS teams are in position to play in the postseason.TCU (6-5) and Baylor (6-5) have locked up bowl eligibility. UTSA finished 6-6 in Conference USA and conference rival North Texas is 5-7, but looking good to get into a bowl because of its Academic Progress Rating. There arent enough 6-6 teams around the country to fill the 80 postseason spots .The Longhorns? Their season started with a rousing overtime victory against Notre Dame on Labor Day night that led to a brief stint in the top 10 and ended with coach Charlie Strong being fired.Baylor had a horrible offseason, marred by a scandaal that led to coach Art Briles being fired after an investigation into the schools handling of sexual assault allegations.dddddddddddd The Bears started 6-0 and reached as high as No. 8 in the rankings against a soft schedule -- but they have not won since.TCU started the season No. 13 in the country and was considered a Big 12 contender before flopping.At Texas Tech, the Red Raiders finished the season with a fifth victory by beating Baylor last Saturday. The continued failures of coach Kliff Kingsburys defenses have fans losing patience with the former Texas Tech quarterback. Texas A&M fans are less than thrilled with their coach, too. Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies started 6-0 and were No. 4 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, but finished 8-4 and lost their last four Southeastern Conference games.At Houston, a 9-3 season never seemed so unfulfilling. The Cougars started with playoff hopes, beat Oklahoma early and Louisville late, but will have to settle for a third-tier bowl game. And they lost coach Tom Herman to Texas, too.Houston was the closest Texas team to the Top 25 this week. With 98 points, the Cougars were tops among the others receiving votes. Back in 1997, when the state was shut out of the rankings, Texas A&M was first among the others receiving votes.Rice, UTEP, SMU and Texas State are a combined 14-33.---Follow Ralph D.
