    He just up and left Arizona to play 2000 miles away in Ga. leaving behind two devastated people, his Arizona HS coach and his latest Arizona prom date. Just wondering is he the son of former Detroit Lion's center Dominick Raiola?

    LSU has to forfeit all of its wins from 2012-2015 for playing an ineligible player those four years.

    And the forfeits drop Les Miles below a .600 winning percentage which blocks him from Hall of Fame consideration though Les was likely an iffy candidate before this.

    InsideTexas B12 preview. FWIW the new members, BYU,UCF,Cincy and Houston are all seen to be at the bottom of the B12.

    1 Texas
    I’ll feed into the preseason hype that many other media members will make contributions to. The talented roster, the improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 under Steve Sarkisian, and the sense of urgency that hasn’t been felt in Austin in some time places the Longhorns No. 1 in my preseason poll — the last Big 12 preseason poll they’ll ever appear in.

    2 Kansas State
    The conference arguably runs through Manhattan (a place the Horns don’t have to travel to this year). After winning the Big 12 last season, Chris Klieman‘s team returns several key contributors including the quarterback that could have led them to the College Football Playoff in Will Howard. Making up for Deuce Vaughn‘s lost production will be a task.

    3 Texas Tech
    Texas Tech feels like it has the chance to do something special this season, Joey McGuire‘s second leading the Red Raiders.

    Clarity at quarterback with Tyler Shough, a dynamite offensive system led by Zach Kittley, and an overall culture that seems as strong as ever has Tech feeling as great about an upcoming season since the days Mike Leach was on the Jones AT&T Stadium sidelines.

    4 Oklahoma State
    Doubt Mike Gundy at your own peril. There’s a lot to replace, including the starting quarterback, but the Cowboys have a favorable schedule. They play all four of the new Big 12 schools, host Oklahoma and Kansas State, and avoid Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, and TCU.

    5 Oklahoma
    Oklahoma probably fares better than 6-7 last year if Dillon Gabriel stays healthy. While that’s still a major factor this season, the Sooners have a safety net in Jackson Arnold they didn’t have in 2022. Sooner faithful learned last year what Texas fans knew all too well from the previous decade: Year 1 under new head coaches that come in and ‘change the culture’ are filled with growing pains. Changing a defensive system on top of that? There’s a lot to improve upon in Year 2 for Brent Venables.

    This is new Buckeye QB Kyle McCord's new ride, courtesy of Mark Wahlburg Cheverolet. A Mecedes Benz
    AMG GT53. MSRP: $126,000. What a farce college football has become.

    It's too bad the NCAA was so draconian for so long, it's almost like Avery Brundage was directing it, then they missed the boat on NIL and we have what we have.

    Guess the Buckeye’s NIL boosters are giving used Fiats to their defensive linemen and linebackers.

    I wonder why ESPN let Pollock go and kept the pro wrestler or whatever he is and apparently kept the pilate instructor on Gameday?

    His uncle is the OL coach at NU. We had a good chance at him, but the powers that be...

    Seems like the new guy, Rhule, is working hard on the recruiting front over all though.

    He's been locking down the in-state kids, and nabbing some 4 stars from Florida. Willis McGahee Jr being one of them. He's not playing the portal game, he's severely focused on recruiting.

    Really don't get Roger Staubach, who was a really great QB no doubt, but was he all that Brando is giving him credit for, I'm not agreeing with him on that.

    Herschel was a truly great player, always hard though to single out one guy.
