"These are two schools that are really special for different reasons, but they are very, very similar. One's a national school and one is just the best state in the country." #WPS
I asked legendary coach Lou Holtz if he thought he would ever see the day Arkansas and Notre Dame would match up on the football field this morning, here was his answer:
Gotta hand it to junior Devon Achane, and NFL guys should notice this: He could have sat out the finale with the idea of (likely) preparing for the NFL Draft and avoiding further injury. He's out there trying to lead the Aggies to an upset of LSU.
Devon Achane was everything college football should celebrate tonight.
He could have easily decided not to play vs LSU....not only would Aggies have been shorthanded, but it would have been a signal that season was worth shutting down
He didn't quit, nor did Aggies

It's kind of wild that the Big 12's continued existence keeps hinging on the whims of a school that's won the conference 3 times in 25 years.
That's only one more than Nebraska, which last won the Big 12 in 1999 (and left in 2010).
@brianbenk@amazon Lol there is a reason they basically don’t exist anymore. Amazon is going down that path. They were once the everything store; now, they are the we do everything half assed store.
@rjochoa Kind of an ignorant statement. No other profession (or not many at least) has guaranteed contracts, this shouldn’t be any different. Should definitely have some type of injury relief and/or insurance but nothing is guaranteed and this isn’t any different. It’s a business.
