Washington, Oregon, Georgia, LSU, Iowa State. Each of those would be can't miss away games.

Uh, I think you missed the pun. “Barber” “haircuts” Get it?

I'm becoming cautiously more optimistic that football will happen this fall. Things are starting to move in that direction.

The northern third or so of South Carolina is actually pretty nice. It's historically been pretty wealthy for the south and is kind of similar to western North Carolina, northern Georgia and eastern Tennessee. It's the central and southern portions of the state that are kind of a dump although...

This would be a steal.. we need all the top tier linebackers we can get. Currently Penn State and Michigan are seen as favorites for him.

It doesn't necessarily seem like this kid is craving attention as much as he's just the type of overly independent and flaky person who can't make up their mind and commit to anything. For his sake I hope he ends up getting his shit together and things work out for him.

Go hot or go home

Gophs go 13-1. Lose to LSU in the Rose Bowl

Definitely agree with Mo and CAB. On D I think Mariano Sori-Marin is really going to step up big at LB.

Is there any program in the Big Ten more of a dumpster fire right now than Maryland?
