There is plenty of excitement surrounding Arizona’s placement in the Alamo Bowl and head coach Jedd Fisch hopes it is a sign of things to come. “Obviously, Alamo Bowl is a great spot,” Fisch said. “Texas played Washington last year in it, and now Texas plays Washington in the CFP. So wouldn’t that be cool, if that was a precursor? You go to the Alamo Bowl and then the next year you go to the CFP, wouldn’t that be something special?”

With the transfer portal officially opening today, it's a good time to start looking at the numbers and how Washington plans on constructing their roster ahead of the 2024 season. Obviously there's a long way to go and at least a couple of months where they can add players via high school signees and college transfers, and they will undoubtedly lose current players to the portal as well. And there's also a number of players who will be weighing the options of staying and using more eligibility, or declare for the NFL Draft.

Often, supporters of OurBlackGirls will send over cases that have occurred in their hometowns, and someone did just that when they asked if I could feature Sonya Tukes. There has been minimal news coverage about her case over the years, and the last detailed report I could find came courtesy of Georgia's WMGT 41 News from 2016. The outlet spoke with the 22-year-old's family as they mapped out Sonya's last steps and speculated as to how she could have vanished in the middle of the night in 2004 without a trace.

When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”
