I hate 2020
As I have been saying
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!

My wife loves Bucky Badger
But she often confuses him with Brutus Buckeye
At least she gets UGA right
No! Im worried about some crazy being there.
LOL! :)
Should be good in Nebraska, too. Probably won’t have much impact in Big10 powerhouse states Mary Land or New Jersey.
YES!
I agree. Don’t let the leftist haters kill our sports!
No they’re not. Butt hurt from whipping your team’s ass eh?
Dont know if Rutgers is actually a football though
Yeh Christine Brennan is pretty much a Trotskyite shes pretty much a lunatic

Not surprising, what a yahoo
Will it be woke?
Cuz if it is, we ain’t watching.
Any of it.
FWIW, the parents were threatening to sue.
