Not sure how credible this witness is, but a guy is saying he saw man wandering onto the roadway minutes before Haskins was killed.  No disabled vehicle nearby or anything explaining his presence on the road…Witness describes pedestrian on freeway, Columbus Dispatch

Since the link posted recently, and likely others coming soon to the interwebs near you will have USC as the favorite due to the arrival of Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams, I’ll point out a few things, though I realize I’m preaching to the choir…
1) Of course football is much more complex than say, NBA Basketball, where you can bring in one…[Read more]

That’s one man’s projection for the 2022-23 bowl season…24/7’s 2022-23 Bowl Season projection, spring edition

No disagreement from me, hard to know what the team will look like, or if Smith will find success, just FYI…Wilner Way-too-Early 2023 Pac-12 Mens Hoops
