STACK’s Weekend TV Guide: October 22
Number one teams are falling faster than leaves from the trees, as the NCAA season gets shortened day by day. In Week 7 of the NFL season, there is still no one dominant team, while across the pond, fütbol is just getting into full swing. Girls in spandex, Justin Timberlake golfing, pucks flying in Canada and the end of the NBA preseason—with so much action to watch, you may have to delete a few programs from your DVR. We suggest recording all the games and getting your homework done early, because once you and your crew turn on the tube and hit the couch, no one’s getting up.
Collect some cash from your teammates and treat yourselves to some Pay-Per-View excitement. Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez headline UFC 121, fighting for the heavyweight title. Could be a blood bath.
*All times are Eastern Daylight Time; availability and network channels depend on location. Highlighted games are STACK’s must-see matchups.
