Lane Kiffin Flatly Denied That Ole Miss Has Imposed A Deadline For Him To Make A Decision About Where He Is Coaching Next Season

Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin went on the Pat McAfee Show this morning to address a rumor that Ole Miss gave him a deadline to make his decision on whether to stay in Oxford or go to Baton Rouge or Gainesville.

UNC QB Drake Maye Allegedly Has Not One But Two 5 MILLION DOLLAR Offers To Transfer

There's no denying UNC QB Drake Maye tore it up on the football field this fall. Check out these mind blowing stats! The man threw for 4,115 yards with 35 TDs with 7 INTs AND he added a solid 715 yards with 7 TDs on the ground. What coach would not want a dual threat like him at QB in modern college

So... I'm Going To Be A Mom

Yes, you read that correctly. I'm going to be a mom. Of a real life human. And I'm really excited about it.  I never thought those two sentences back-to-back would EVER be something I would write about myself. But here we are. Nothing like a good late night weekend inside-Barstool bomb from the clou

BRANDON WALKER AND KAYCE SMITH DELIVER A THROWBACK EPISODE

Welcome to Unnecessary Roughness Old School Edition. If you've been with us for six years since, or seven years now, since 2019, this is how the majority of the shows went early and then middle and then whatever, but it is me and Casey Smith, just the two of us back together again for this episode. 

T-Bob, Big Ev, and Blutman are joined by Mike Katic to ring in the College Football offseason as they talk CFB scheduling, the ever developing new era of College sports, and whether or not Alabama Football has lost its luster.
