OUT OF NOWHERE — As the days crescendo to another weekend filled with college football, fight songs and on-campus hooliganism, we take a look back at the previous week in the world of sports.

Here are a few things the Internet tells us are important.

Braxton Miller didn't get to see his spin-move juke

Ohio State quarterback-turned-wide-receiver Braxton Miller made the entire nation fall out of its shoes or off the couch Monday night with a spin move to end all spin moves en route to a touchdown in the Buckeyes' 42-24 win over Virginia Tech.

But the OSU star didn't even get to rewatch it at home.

That's because Miller doesn't have cable, satellite, or any other modern sports fan's luxuries.

"The thing is," Miller told Cleveland.com, "I ain't got cable, man."

Fortunately for Miller, his move has been replayed on Vine more often than a 12-year-old NCAA 14 player mashing the X button during Dynasty Mode.

And speaking of Buckeyes …

Putting the Rainbow back in Warriors

Hawaii opened up the 2015 season with a 28-20 win over Colorado at Aloha Stadium, and next up for the Warriors are the defending national champs.

How they play is yet to be determined. But the Warriors will at least look good, courtesy of Under Armour's all-white throwback uniforms that include rainbows on the helmets, shoulder pads and pants with teal green numbers.

Look good, feel good, play good. For Hawaii, at least the first two parts are ready to go. We'll see how the third one comes along Saturday.

On that note of "how you look" …

Bronco Nation makes early arrival in Provo

Boise State fans took the tradition of supporting one of college football's fastest risers on the road to its latest destination a little early.

A Boise State fan managed to sneak into LaVell Edwards Stadium, where the Broncos will play BYU on Saturday at 8:15 p.m., and raised a Broncos flag up one of the flagpoles earlier this week.

Is it an omen preceding Saturday's contest? Or just a couple of college kids having a prank?

We're guessing the latter, as the flag was later taken down by the BYU grounds crew.

Will you accept this Rose … City?

Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes selected his squad prior to a Major League Soccer match at Portland in a creative way Wednesday.

The former U.S. international spoofed ABC's "The Bachelor" by giving away roses (for Portland's Rose City nickname, get it?) to members of his travel squad.

Vermes included goalkeeper Tim Melia, as well as Sporting stars Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer in the video, which eventually (spoiler alert) saw defender Ike Opara "sent home" in the video that co-starred "Bachelor in Paradise" star Tanner Tolbert.

Sporting KC played the Timbers to a 0-0 draw Wednesday night — which begs the question: did Vermes send home the wrong center back?

Tune in next week as Chris Harrison may or may not have the answers.
