I wondered how the portal fit into the transfer equation. This article was enlightening for me and helped me understand this seemingly black box.

https://www.sportscasting.com/college-football-transfer-portal-explanation/

“ Student-athletes have several options upon entering the portal. They can transfer elsewhere as a scholarship player or as a walk-on. Although they can withdraw from the portal at any time, the team they intended to leave is not required to take them back or keep them on scholarship.”

“ However, the portal is not without its issues. Coaches have criticized the portal itself and the NCAA at large for creating a free agency enviorment. Those in college football, including Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, took issue with the NCAA not adjusting a team’s 25-man signing class limitation even if transfers decimate their program.”

“ The portal has had a severe impact on offseason recruiting. Texas State did not sign a high school player in its 15-man 2021 signing class and instead chose to only add transfers from all levels of college football ranging from the SEC to community colleges.”

Both the fellas and the ladies suffered with missed FTs last night. But its win win, we’ll take it.

End of the half, 38-22 Ags. Not a perfect half but a solid performance.

19-11 Ags end of first quarter. Hall has the hot hand tonight

The graphic showing the lady Aggies in the bottom of the barrel in league standings is an eye opener. The UC SD loss was a real shame. Time to push the throttle forward.

I suspect all teams are in the same boat, that is multiple players out on covid protocols.

After that article is a commentary by a former student whose argument against the fee is “that she never went to games so why should she pay?” I could list a ton of items i don’t use but still have to pay for. But in defense of the students pushing this, education costs are ridiculously high. That really is the bigger issue. When i was in school, you could wait tables and make enough money to pay your tuition. Reform overall education costs and this issue goes away.

I go every year. Its fun with opportunity to visit with coaches and a few players. This year I’m especially interested in what they come up with.

And tremendous OT win for the niners after being down 17-0.

And I was glad to see Conrad back after having a major collision. She really could have been hurt on that.

No spectators, unless you’re the chancellor.

Back to this one. The ladies never took the lead. Need the men to take careof business

The ladies came out of the half with energy and good defense, but can’t buy a bucket

Ags down 26-34 at half. I’m not crazy about those uniforms.

I’m going to need a split screen. Ladies at 4, men at 5.

Maybe, but I don’t think the Bison would be denied today regardless of who was taking the snaps. They are so physical and fast with minimal mistakes.

Agreed. I think its time to start my Saturday now, wink.

Bison making it look easy with their power running game. 14-0 Bison start of the second quarter.

And the bobcats ace freshman QB turned an ankle on first series.

Both teams shooting 39% FGs. Hopefully Jen guides them to a strong second half. But the anteaters look to be a better team than their record suggests.
