Wow, what a bowl season and an exciting ending in a game between two programs with young and promising head coaches. Notre Dame’s first-year head coach Marcus Freeman took his Ohio State mentality with him to battle second- year head coach of South Carolina Shane Beamer, who is the son of legendary VA Tech coach Frank Beamer.

The Gator Bowl has taken place ever since 1946, introducing it as the sixth eldest college bowl. Wake Forest beat South Carolina…

It’s the year 2022. Another season of college football has come and gone. Conference champions have already been crowned and now it’s Bowl time. But for some of the game’s star players, playing in an additional post season game for the college they currently represent does not mean anything anymore. In fact, some players have decided to literally switch Universities right before their current team plays it’s Bowl game. There is a bright spot to all of this, as this unique way of leaving to attend another college is known as the Transfer Portal, in which it has revolutionized the…
