Pourover: When your Quarterback is almost there
Maybe it was the subsequent games, but my mood cooled significantly following that ugly loss. Watching Georgia lose, and Texas. Alabama looked awful against Tennessee, while Miami needed 2 overtimes and a miracle to hold off Florida State.

Porter Moser might have his best roster at Oklahoma
It has to be frustrating for anyone involved and interested in Oklahoma basketball the last few years. The 2024-25 version went 6-12 in the SEC, but still made the NCAA Tournament because they beat Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan before conference play started. But OU couldn’t get out of their own way at times during their […]

Will Wade thinks he’s smarter than all the rest of the coaches in college basketball
Oh boy. Here we go. Be honest, if there was on preview you were most looking forward to it’s this one, if only for what you might think I’m going to say. But LSU hasn’t been very good for the last four years under Matt McMahon. Ironically enough, last year was their best season per […]
