Looks like Texas lost their starting RB Baxter for the season due to injury.

So T Town has a dilemma. Bama's opening game is against my Hilltoppers of Western Ky. My son (a Bama grad) will obviously be attending the game with me and the Mrs. Do I break the family ties and go all in for my Hilltoppers (who really doesn't have a chance anyways) or does blood override all? I'm not one to settle so it's either one or the other. Momma ain't got a dog in the fight on the field... she will ask at halftime which color is Bama and which is WKU.

Is the Fan Transfer Portal a real thing? Can I go back and forth? Or am I committed one way or the other? There's no NIL involved here so concessions are on me. I do have to drive back with the Mrs. so I have to take that into account. Can I commit and then flip? And re-flip just before the game?

I only ask as I trust the opinions of my IE brethren - except for a few shady characters out here.

WKU without doubt. For blood and affinity reasons, you support Bama…but you ARE a Hilltopper.

Since there is no chance of Hilltopper success, it matters not so choose that which is most devious IMG_2459.jpeg

I have a similar dilemma this season. Both my wife and I went to Miami (OH). We will be at the Miami vs ND game this season...wearing green.

Soooo the South Carolina AD is gone, resigning a day before College Game Day being on campus for the game vs LSU and a day after their Director of Player Personnel resigned due to incoming NCAA infractions. Some OSU guys think that this is related to the rumor that Michigan leaked stolen signals to South Carolina to knock off Tennessee and Clemson at the end of the '22 season. There's some fishy stuff at least w/r/t circumstantial evidence.

I wanna stress that even if this is not true, the straight up HATING coming from this guy against a hated rival is what makes CFB great lol

I just saw a blurb where Tennessee was increasing their 2025 season ticket prices by 14.5% and that includes a ”10% Talent Fee”. I can’t confirm the post was true.

Wouldn't be surprised to see other schools follow this lead.

Arkansas AD says school needs $12 million more per year in NIL donations to be competitive

"If we can get 10,000 households across the state of Arkansas to give $100 a month all year long, we would be in the NIL game from a football perspective."

kinda disturbing thing for an AD to ask considering the levels of poverty in Arkansas

Yes except even in a poorer state like AR, 10,000 households is a pretty small slice of the pie. Not to mention, in some of the fanbases football is more important than food, healthcare, etc. In reality, the wealthy boosters could cover that amount with little discomfort.
