👋 Hey College Football Fans,

Despite the clashes on the gridiron, the reports around Chapel Hill have become the focus as Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels devolve further into dysfunction. Meanwhile, Deion’s Colorado survived the white out battle against Brent Key and Alberto Mendoza.

There will not be a 33rd NFL team in North Carolina with Michael Lombardi getting the boot. Even more sinister is Steve’s absence and the reports that have been coming out around the investigation.




Your Shampoo Is Destroying Your Hair. This One Rebuilds It.

Most shampoos clean your hair while quietly working against it. SLS strips the scalp. Salt dries it out. Parabens disrupt the follicle environment that healthy hair depends on. You wash every day and wonder why things keep getting worse — it's not your hair, it's what you're washing it with. Particle Hair-Thickening Shampoo has none of that. SLS-free, salt-free, paraben-free — it's a science-backed formula that doesn't just clean, it rebuilds from root to tip. Fuller-looking hair isn't just a promise. It's what happens when you stop putting the wrong things on your head. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 20% off with code BH20.

Thursday’s Results: 74% of you felt that Lane Kiffin brought all of this negativity upon himself with his conduct throughout his career. Most of you understood that success on the gridiron should not give you the right to behave in such a manner.

We had some great points brought up. The first was from ‘jacoby3411’ who said = Just look at his track record and his decision making. Where there is smoke there is fire.

The second point was a fiery one from ‘theramax’ who is a supposed Clemson fan = Always bending the rules. TN game final minutes players taking a knee. NCAA finally changed the rule? On and ON. Lying to the press and fans at various colleges. Going beyond recruiting PRO players, forcing other universities to keep pace for competitive purposes. The guy loves controversy. LSU paid big bucks, they will have to chew on it with a smile. Go Clemson.

Then there was ‘carrjohn3456’ who was of the minority opinion = I had a tough time with this question. While I believe everyone should be accountable for their actions, I also feel like sometimes the media dwells on a person or event too much. If Lane was coaching at a community college.

Lastly, we had ‘kenneth464’ who said = Has Lane Kiffin left anywhere not under a cloud (its not like he has only been the Head Coach at one place either)?

Even though the yellow jackets lost, there was one giant at the Tight End position who stood out with his excellent play on the field. Meet Kevin Roche Jr.

This larger than life sophomore was responsible for a blocked field goal that ended a 9 minute drive by Colorado with zero points to show for it. With 4 receptions for 37 yards and a crucial first down pickup in the fourth quarter, Brent Key has a bona fide star in the making.

Next time you tune into a Georgia Tech game, look out for No. 86 on offense.

Alberto Mendoza shined in last night’s loss. But it was his hands that went viral as he had to use a special cream to help prevent the ball from slipping out due to the humidity.
