It is true that college football in general has gotten better, but that's largely a result of the transfer portal. Everyone is missing the giant elephant in the room, the NFL. They already dominate football watching on Thursday night even while putting out a bad product. If they decide Friday and Saturday games are a great way to grow their business (it is and they will) the networks won't have the money to pay top dollar for college because ratings will go to the NFL. Edit: Unusually good editorial out of the Charlotte Observer. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article278059432.html?taid=64d2c90266d1df0001ffc212&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Chris is pencilled into the start tomorrow against the Guardians in Cleveland. With the way the Tribe has been gutting itself it should be an easy W.

The same as it has been. The MAC isn't going anywhere, for better or for worse

I believe ULM’s head coach is going for his 4th consecutive 4-8 season as a head coach. Could be a record of some sort, keep your eyes on them!
