We’re 11 days away from the start of practices and less than six weeks away from games. The offseason managed to fly by, aided no doubt in part by the fact the transfer portal provided ample entertainment and drama.
As good as last season was (and I’ve got 10 million folks who tuned in to the national title game who can back me up on that), I have a feeling this season will somehow managed to best it.
So, let’s get to mailbag questions that readers sent in this week.
