The New York Times is reporting that President Joe Biden will be meeting with border patrol agents, law enforcement and city leaders in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday to discuss the urgent need for a border agreement, as congress has failed to pass a bipartisan bill to address the border issue after former President Trump denounced a bipartisan bill passed by the Senate that was subsequently tanked by GOP members of the House.

In a world brimming with information at our fingertips, it’s both a travesty and a comedy that, quite expectedly, the UTRGV Football program remains an enigmatic ghost on the internet.

College Football Of Old Is Gone And That’s A Good Thing

Published on February 20, 2024February 20, 2024
Sports/The News

Earlier today, the College Football Playoff Board of Managers met earlier today to unanimously approve to change the current four-team playoff system to a “5+7” model, which would feature five of the highest ranked conference champions and seven at-large bids based on their ranking by the College Football Playoff Committee, a total of 12 teams competing for the college football national championship.

Gone are the days of players or coaches caring about winning a non-playoff bowl. Gone are the days where players stayed committed to one school and risked everything for a chance at, maybe finally, getting paid in the league.
