I am a brazilian football fan and I am currently trying to get into college football and I am trying to decide which team I should support. I am a Bengals fan so naturally LSU caught my attention but Ohio State has been exciting recently. I think I want to choose a team that is competitive, exciting but not a “every year dominant” team cause that’s boring.

I just found one at my parent’s house in my old bedroom. I forgot that it included area high school ball as well. And who else remembers that guy who’d come on the radio and do a segment called Leonard’s Losers where he predicted the games. I had to hold the guide to stop the glare. Hope this brings back good memories to y’all.

Change needs to start somewhere

Maybe the threat of the demise of SEC Football can force Southern politics to change when sanity does not.

Was hoping this would be a night game. The reverse fixture last year was underrated
