It’s the Red River Shootout! Time to kick back with something deep-fried (I’ve always wanted to try fried peanut butter and jelly, myself) and enjoy what should be a good football game....
What We Learned In College, Week 6

Where do I even begin this week? -I cannot believe I’m saying this, but LSU’s offense looked better last year. I expected Mettenberger to be a much bigger upgrade at QB...
