Less than six weeks after the couple was married, Lozada, best known for her role on Basketball Wives, has filed for divorce from the receiver formerly known as Ochocinco. The couple was married July [...]

It’s been several years since the Texas Longhorns have had a solid running game capable of carrying an offense, but this season, they may have exactly that. Despite showing moments of greatness last year, injuries kept the running backs from reaching their potential. Nevertheless, they gave Texas fans hope that the running game could once [...]
