When the general assembly decided to build a state university here 235 years ago, they named the town for a church built by the British.

Itโ€™ll take some time for 70 new โ€œlook at what I can doโ€ players to become a team. I expect many of them will be itching for the transfer portal come December. It will look like the exodus of the fans in the third quarter.

And as soon as the money runs out, I expect Miss Gold digger Hudson will be looking at the transfer portal herself, looking for her next NIL deal.

Once they decided to remove Gold Digger from the sidelines, Belichek knew it was the beginning of the end for him.

No, not an NC state fan.

Gators, Yellow Jackets (Georgia Tech for those unfamiliar with them), and Buckeyes fan, in the order of my fandom.

However I have hated Bill Belicheat for a long time. I think I hate him more now than heโ€™s engaged to his granddaughter. Ok, not his literal granddaughter, but the age is right.

If uncc beats unc next week, bill will get tossed

I am a fair weather college football fan, but that is not how it works. Coaches sign long term contracts with college football teams. There are various monetary targets embedded in the contract. It is heck of lot easier to fire a coach in the fourth year of a five year contract than the first year. NCU is stuck with him for 3 to five years..

Enough to establish 4 mega conferences that will play each other, probably in the neighborhood of 64-80 programs.

The Big 10 and SEC will be at the top, along with probably the Big 12, and whatever conference can organize the rest.

I could see another level college football forming that doesn’t go for what’s going on right now but still wants to complete in football.

FSU and Miami would love to be in the SEC and GaTech would love to be in the Big 10. I think the ACC will be a conference that is the next to be picked over.

UConn will be playing The Fruit (aka Syracuse) this weekend. UConn will be playing Syracuse, Duke and Boston College this season and we might win 1 of them.

They weren’t expected to win but the transfer portal didn’t cause a blowout.
