The Best In Sports In 7 Days

Thursday, Sept. 27
Pro golf, Viking Classic (7 a.m., Madison): The first round of Mississippi's only PGA Tour event tees off at Annandale Golf Club. The tourney continues through Sunday. … College football, Southern Miss at Boise State (6:30 p.m., Boise, Idaho, ESPN/1180 AM/103.3 FM): The Golden Eagles fly north to last year's non-BCS little giant. Do not adjust your set; the Broncos play on a blue field. … Southern Arkansas at Delta State (7 p.m., Cleveland, CSS/930 AM): They don't call DSU the "Fightin' Okra" for nothing.

Friday, Sept. 28

Saturday, Sept. 29
College football, Mississippi State at South Carolina (11:30 a.m., Columbia, S.C., Ch. 12/105.9 FM): The Bulldogs will have their hands full when they face the Ol' Ball Coach in his barnyard.

Sunday, Sept. 30
Pro football, Philadelphia at New York Giants (7:15 p.m., Ch. 3/930 AM): Eli and the Giants entertain the league's foulest fowls in an NFC East grudge match. Those nauseating throwback uniforms the Eagles wore last week make USM's all-black gear look good.

Tuesday, Oct. 2
College football, Marshall at Memphis (7 p.m., ESPN2): These CUSA teams meet on a night that's normally reserved for middle-school and ninth-grade games.
