The Transfer Portal Window has been up and active for a week now, and something like 30% of the entirety of college football has entered it. And why not? Even if you intend to stay, it honestly isn’t a terrible idea to jump in anyway to see if you can secure a higher payment. For […]
Alabama hosted a Texas team that has lost six games against a tough slate in the early going and things didn’t go well for the home team, as the Longhorns walked out of Coleman with a 92-88 victory. Texas looked nothing like an unranked, winless in SEC play team early on. They were on fire […]
