    Players I Wish Were in College Forever

    Thinking back to when I watched the LSU Tigers win the National Championship. It was with great joy I got to see LSU cap off a 15-0 season with a 42-25 victory over Clemson. It was not long after that I realized many of those players would never don the LSU uniform again. One player…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 5

    Season record: 5-9-2 Last week: 0-3-1 (Maryland-Michigan over 65, North Carolina -2, Arkansas +2, Oklahoma -13) Just a brutal week.
