Word around college football today is Miami is now the team to beat for former Duke QB Darian Mensah, who recently entered the transfer portal on the last day. This isn’t some long shot, the Hurricanes are getting serious looks and buzz as the favorite to land him according to 247Sports.

He broke out at Tulane in 2024, starting all 13 games and throwing 2,723 yards with 22 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions while completing 65.9% of his throws. He also ran for 132 yards and a score.

He then transferred to Manny Diaz’s Duke squad for the 2025 season, and he took off even more piling up nearly 4,000 yards passing with 34 touchdowns and 6 picks and a completion rate around 67%.

Mensah is back in the portal, and Miami fans are hyped about the possibility of adding a proven Power-5 QB.

The best overall wrestler was probably Shawn Michaels, and his heel work in 1997 was off the charts at times. In the mid 1990s he was running circles around some of his opponents - he was literally so much better than everyone else. Kind of like seeing Keiji Muto showing up in the NWA in 1989.

Favorite of all time however is this guy:

The next tweets we see will be Duke leaking the settlement. And It’ll probably be more than what was actually paid. They are going to want to save face
