Saturday’s loss is extremely disappointing on its own, but when the bigger picture is examined, it’s just the latest example of Pittman being unable to close out tight games. Since Pittman took over the program in 2020, one-score games have been his kryptonite.  Aside from a magical 2021 season that saw Arkansas go 9-4, Pittman’s record in games decided by eight points or less is a paltry 3-13. Five seasons into the Pittman era, the lack of wins in clutch situations isn’t just an unfortunate coincidence, but rather an appalling pattern that continues to crop up every season. Let’s not mince…

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns walked into Ann Arbor and absolutely owned The Big House on Saturday afternoon. The 31-12 drubbing of defending national champion No. 10 Michigan had college football pundits solidly behind Texas as a title contender in 2024.

The Wolverines couldn’t seem to get anything going on offense — turning the ball over three times and finding the end zone only once — while the defense just could not stop…

Murder charges filed against the father of a 14-year-old boy accused of a Georgia school shooting follow the successful prosecution of two parents in Michigan who were held responsible for a similar tragedy at a school north of Detroit. Is it a sign of a crackdown on parents accused of gross negligence when it comes to kids and guns? Could public outrage lead to more prosecutions or changes in law in other states, too? “It’s a matter of looking at the relationship between what the child says and does and what the parent knows about what the child says and…
