With the regular season over and the Super Bowl just days away, the 2026 NFL head coaching cycle is wrapping up. While we are still a calendar year away from evaluating that group, we can turn our attention back to the 2025 group. Although this offseason has seen 10 openings, last year saw three fewer. […]
The Tarleton State Texans (11-9, 2-5 WAC) will attempt to break a four-game losing streak when they host the Utah Valley Wolverines (15-6, 5-3 WAC) on January 29, 2026 at EECU Center. In its previous game, Utah Valley fell to Cal Baptist on Saturday, 78-71 in OT. Its top scorer was Jackson Holcombe with 22 points. On Wednesday, in its most recent game, Tarleton State lost to UT Arlington 71-64. With 17 points, Camron McDowell was its top scorer. When is Utah Valley vs. Tarleton State and w...
Rutgers lost the second game of their road trip to Iowa 68-62. Despite the Scarlet Knights leading for a decent portion of the game, their poor ball handling and inability to score off the turnovers they caused ultimately led to their downfall. Rutgers would start the game on the attack, as Kaden Powers would open […]
Once again, the Wisconsin Badgers mounted a big comeback in an attempt to win a conference game. Only this time, they were unable to get the job done against the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, losing a key road game as they looked to boost their resume. The Badgers fell short to the Hoosiers 78-77 in […]
Ohio State did not just lose one tight end this offseason, it lost the entire core of last year’s group. Max Klare declared for the 2026 NFL Draft after leading the room in production, while Will Kacmarek moved on after exhausting his eligibility. Add in Jelani Thurman transferring out, and the position suddenly went from […]
Billable hours are undefeated, and transparency is a thing of the past. All of the focus as of late has been placed on the Power Four conference champions (SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12) being guaranteed spots in the 2026 version of the College Football Playoff, along with Notre Dame being automatically placed into […]
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quinton Johnston is in an interesting position going into the offseason. Johnston, a first-round pick out of TCU, struggled at the beginning of his career. However, he has picked things up with improvements year-over-year. Even though he is getting better, the Chargers could end up deciding to move on from […]
Are all losses considered equal? Of course not. A home loss to an unranked team carries more weight than a road loss against a top-10 opponent, not to mention the impact of Quadrant 1 versus Quadrant 4 defeats on tournament resumes. But here’s a deeper question: are losses treated differently based on the school’s conference […]
After getting so tantalizingly close to upsetting the 17th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks for the first Q1 win of the season, fate had other plans for the Colorado Buffaloes. CU gave the Jayhawks a legitimate scare, but a clear missed call and a lack of execution down the stretch ultimately doomed the Buffs, falling by a final […]

Ever since the transfer portal became a thing, college coaches have added re-recruitment to their list of job duties. Not only must they recruit new players during the offseason—whether high schoolers, junior college players or others looking to transfer—but they need to also re-recruit their own players. If we’re assigning grades to that particular process, […]
1. ESTÊVÃO (9.2) He stole the show from fellow teenager Lamine Yamal and heralded his arrival on the European stage as well with that thumping rocket of a fin — inspiring legendary match announcer Clive Tyldesley to coin another instant classic: “Young, gifted, and Brazilian: it’s one of football’s favorite recipes. Mmm, mmm, mmm … […]
Like most of you, I witnessed what seemed in the moment to be an absolute heist of a loss for the Wisconsin Badgers in Bloomington in their 78-77 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon. And I freaked out accordingly. At the end of both regulation and overtime, there were calls from a Michael Reed, Michael Irving, […]
In his first season as a collegiate starter, one could hardly ask for more from Julian Sayin. Ohio State’s first-year-starting quarterback completed an incredible 77% of his 391 attempts for 3,610 yards and 32 touchdowns with just eight interceptions, leading his team into the Big Ten championship game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the […]
Rutgers president William F. Tate IV has written a column for NJ.com addressing why Rutgers joined the Big Ten in the first place, how it continues to benefit from Big ten membership and the misconceptions that have spawned from NJ.com’s recent series of articles addressing the “78 million dollar” budget deficit Rutgers Athletics ran up […]
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Close, but no cigar. For the third weekend in a row, Illinois had the opportunity to knock off a top ten-ranked Big Ten foe on the road. No. 5 Illinois pushed No. 10 Michigan State to overtime on Saturday night at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, but the Spartans came […]
Terrance Gore was known as one of the fastest men in baseball. He played in 14 games for the Cubs in 2018, mostly as a pinch-runner, and also appeared in the Wild Card Game that year against the Rockies. He was still in MLB as recently as 2022, with the Mets. Today, I have sad […]
Manchester United will be looking to make it four wins out of four under interim boss Michael Carrick when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford for an intriguing Premier League clash on Saturday lunchtime. The two teams butt heads for the first time since August when Matthijs de Ligt scored a 96th-minute equaliser for […]
At the start of this episode I give Ryan, a Bulls fan, the opportunity to talk about Jaden Ivey being shipped to Chicago from Detroit. With no Purdue game to talk about on this episode Ryan and I wanted to take some time to slow down, take a step back, and look at the remaining […]
