CFB recruiting news: Oregon skirts WRU with 5-star, Mizzou rolls, LSU addresses issue
Always be 'crootin'. If you're not, then somebody else is. In a never-ending arms race, do you have the dudes or not to withstand the brutal road to glory that is major college football? For Power Two head coaches like Dan Lanning, Eliah Drinkwitz and Brian Kelly, recruiting is all the rage for them and has never been more paramount. It is why Oregon, Missouri and LSU were winners on the Fourth of July.

Counting down to Mississippi State 2024 Kickoff: 56 Days
56 as in…the epic 56-yard dash for touchdown at LSU by Dak Prescott in 2014. It was the offensive play of the game in which Prescott turned into simply Dak forevermore. To be sure the legend which is Dak can also be justifiably dated to his fourth-quarter and overtime feats in the 2013 Egg Bowl win. That sealed his name as a Bulldog. What he did in Tiger Stadium a fall later put him on the national stage, amplified by two following wins sending Mississippi State to the top of the polls for the first time ever.
Experts advise caution as Beryl brings more rip currents into the gulf in already dangerous year
BATON ROUGE - Those planning a beach trip this summer are urged to be cautious of rip currents, especially as Hurricane Beryl makes its way through the Gulf of Mexico. "It will take you from underneath the water it's like a pull that you don't expect and once you feel that pull, it's like an undertow but stronger.
