Since 2018, USC only has 5 more wins (57) than WSU (52). The majority of that difference is 2020 during Covid when WSU went 1-3 and USC went 5-1.

Scoop from the incomparable @RickMaese:
Trump has done a hostile takeover of DC's 3 historic public golf courses.
His admin unilaterally ended 50-year lease & plans his own redesign.
A similar but slightly different version of Kennedy Center takeover.

BREAKING: DOJ now says the Epstein archive isn’t 1 million documents.

It’s 5.2 million.

TCU is the second team in FBS history to win on a game-ending 35+ yard offensive TD in overtime (in any game, bowl or otherwise).

The other was Alabama, who won the national championship on Tua Tagovailoa's 41-yard strike to DeVonta Smith on January 8, 2018.
