    Nado’s Notions: Week 4

    Season record: 5-6-1 Last week: 2-3 (Florida State -2.5, Kansas State -14.5, Ole Miss -16.5, Penn State/Auburn under 47.5, UT-San Antonio +12.5) Florida State and Ole Miss got it done, but beyond that, it was a rough week. Kansas State lost outright, so I need to give Tulane their due. The Auburn defense did not…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 3

    Season record: 3-3-1 Last week: 2-1-1 (Pittsburgh -6.5, Texas Tech -3, Kentucky +5.5, USC -8) Pittsburgh squandered a 10-0 lead before falling to Tennessee in overtime, 34-27. However, things got better as Kentucky won outright and USC rolled to a rather comfortable win at Stanford. Sitting at 50%, this is a pivotal week for me.…

    Nado’s Notions: Week 2

    Season record: 1-2 Last week: 0-2 (Ole Miss/Troy over 58, Utah -2.5) Like LSU, I had a disastrous week 1. However, it is just one week, so let’s not hop off the wagon just yet. Allow me to redeem myself before you start calling me Clark-fade-o. On to week two… #24 Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) @…

    The Hierarchy of Player Compliments

    I don’t have to tell you, but football season is quickly approaching. Football, of the American variety, is a sport beloved by pretty much everyone.

    The U Will Be Back In 2022

    Miami underwent some necessary changes this offseason. Manny Diaz is out and Mario Cristobal is in. The Hurricanes finished the 2021 season with a record of 7-5 before skipping out on the Sun Bowl due to COVID-19. Remember that? Miami is hoping to make the 2021 season a distant memory.
