Who cares what some dumb split-tail thinks

I like flying under the radar. Sometimes it’s better to wear sneakers rather than combat boots.

She just basically went by what teams did last year and barely considered transfers

She doesn’t know ball

She talks about Penn St having easy schedule reason for ranking over Alabama. But she didn't say ND plays 1 team that will have a winning record next year. But she's a girl and females have terrible takes.

Way too early, way too stupid

She was crying big time when lane took the lsu job.

Her rankings are more wishful thinking than anything.

Texas #1 - They will never learn.

Bama at 17 would be nice!
