The first major weekend of college football is in the books, and we were treated to a number of fantastic games, with a few upsets thrown into the mix. 
From Gainesville up to Tallahassee, all the way over to College Station, you all had a number of questions for the mailbag, so it’s time to dive into the fray. 
Trey, appreciate you taking the time to read this. Does Billy Napier make it the full season at Florida. We’re sick and tired of this nonsense and I don’t know if he’s the guy anymore. Thanks and I hope you make the trip down.

Jason Stacy, the fitness coach of two-time Grand Slam winner Aryna Sabalenka, was spotted wearing an ‘XX-XY’ hat at the U.S. Open. In other words, Stacy supports the idea that transgender athletes – biological men – have no place in women’s sports.

Former NBA superstar turned broadcasting superstar Charles Barkley has never been shy about his opinion on Caitlin Clark and the WNBA.
Barkley, like anyone who thinks rationally and reasonably, understands that Clark is the biggest star in WNBA history and there is no close second. In fact, her impact on the league is one of the largest of any single athlete on any single league, ever.

LIV Golf released the dates for its first four tournaments in 2025, which shows that it is far from aligning with the PGA Tour.
LIV Golf has released the first part of its 2025 schedule, with four events in February and March across the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.
