The Colorado Buffaloes football program is one of the most polarizing in all of college football. Ever since Deion Sanders took over the team, the program has garnered much media attention. Part of this is Sanders’s unorthodox style. Coach Prime is one of a kind and runs the team his way. He often says the quiet parts out loud and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Sanders has been candid about this season, saying they expect to win. However, college football analyst Paul Finebaum is not convinced.

Michigan's new defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, has acknowledged that he likes to blitz more than predecessors Jesse Minter or Mike Macdonald. But the Wolverines' DC is also quick to dismiss similarities between his scheme and the one run under Don Brown, whose "Dr. Blitz" nickname reflected his desire to pair pressure with press-man and a single safety.

Tanner Terch was already a Husker commit who didn't need convincing that he'd made the right decision. But confirmation is a fine thing to place in your pocket. As he was winding down an interview last week with Husker247 after his official visit, the athlete out of Colorado agreed with the sentiment some recruits have expressed that it's not a feeling of if for Husker football. Rather, a visit inside the program's walls for a weekend is filled with the takeaway that it's going to happen.

The rankings say the second-best transfer portal class in the Big 12 and a group that ranks No. 22 nationally belongs to UCF. The injection of talent on offense and defense comes at a good time. The Knights stumbled in their first season in the Big 12. They went 3-0 in non-conference play but lost their first five conference games on the way to a 6-6 regular season and a 3-6 Big 12 record ... one that included wins against fellow conference newcomers Cincinnati and Houston as well as a thorough 45-3 demolition of Oklahoma State, which reached the conference championship game. UCF also ranks No. 101 in the returning production rankings curated by ESPN's Bill Connelly -- that's No. 121 on offense and No. 68 on defense.

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
