The Sunday before the trade deadline is traditionally dull and uneventful.
Can you believe it? We’ve reached the end of the home slate already of the 2026 season. Where has the time gone?!? We’re entering Week 9 of the season, and the sixth and final home meet of the regular season. It’s SENIOR NIGHT, BABYYYYY, and there’s a lot of celebrating to do. Mizzou fans who […]
As the weekend rolls on and the NFL Combine continues, we finally got to the running backs group. We’ve seen combines in the past that had some of the best players sit out and not run and/or test, but both Notre Dame running backs were there to show why they were rated as the top […]
Rutgers football has added some more help to its linebacker core, as Sean Allison from Drake has decided to sign with the Scarlet Knights. Allison was able to sign with Rutgers out of the transfer portal because the Knights hired former Drake head coach Joe Woodley to be their rush ends coach, which opened a […]
Welcome to The Daily Merengue — a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the Mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Ezek XI, KungFuZizou, NeRObutBlanco, Felipejack, and Juninho MBAPPE INJURY Please let him rest. […]
Old Trafford hosts a possible managerial audition on Sunday afternoon, when Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace tackle Manchester United in the Premier League. The Red Devils edged out Everton 1-0 in their last assignment, while the Eagles head north fresh from booking their spot in the last 16 of the Conference League. The Michael Carrick momentum […]
The Spartans managed to survive a very odd weekend and come out with 2 points. The team looked sluggish, sloppy and filled with mental errors. They struggled with puck control and just didn’t seem themselves. They now sit 3 points away from a three peat as they head to Minnesota to close the regular season. […]
The West Virginia Mountaineers knocked off No. 19 BYU at the Coliseum Saturday night, ending a three-game losing streak with a 79-71 win. WVU jumped out to a fast start, forcing a turnover on BYU’s opening possession and converting it into points. The Mountaineers built the lead steadily from there, with the defense doing a […]
We’ve reached the point in the season where game results have to be scrutinized each day for how it affects the NCAA Tournament. It was not a good Saturday for NCAA bubble teams. Stanford (18-11, 7-9) NET 75 – Stock Slightly Up If Selection Sunday were tomorrow, Stanford would not be in the NCAA field … Continue reading »
The Tigers closed out their final day of the SEC Indoor Championships in thrilling fashion, with a series of top-10 program records during their races on Saturday, Feb. 28, in College Station, Texas. Women and Men’s Mile Success Drew Rogers blew the competition away, placing first overall in the mile with a time of 4:02.42 […]
This game wrap-up can be pretty much summed up with a couple of sentences and some imagination. Auburn sent 19 batters to the plate in the first two innings, scored eight runs, with only one hit out of the infield. Nebraska pitching, Carson Jasa and Colin Nowaczyk, issued five walks and hit three batters. They […]
Notre Dame upset No. 5 Penn State 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions struggled all weekend defensively and finally got burned on a horrible turnover that easily set up the game-winning goal for Notre Dame. Penn State will return home next weekend for one final regular season series before the postseason run […]
Alabama rolled into Knoxville to face Tennessee with their obnoxious checkerboard coverall wearing fanbase and emerged victorious, winning 71-69. This game started out uglier than granny’s snuff stained muumuu. Both teams looked disjointed on offense and neither could make many shots. Tennessee was getting offensive rebounds on nearly every possession, but they were shooting so […]
“You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here…” Well, here we are. I think I always knew this day would come, but yet, here I am somewhat surprised and more than a little gobsmacked that it’s well and truly over. No more Tuesday night #MACtion coverage. No more BetBelt (always bet the […]
This week has put a particular point on a persistent problem, which is that NC State’s defensive effort is just not very good, and to call this team’s defense “atrocious,” as Will Wade did after the game Saturday, is being kind. For a team that is actually pretty good, one that’s going to make the […]
The title race was over, and now it’s even more over. As has been the case far too often over the last decade+, Borussia Dortmund could not overcome their challengers from Bavaria, despite coming out of the first half with a 1-0 lead and tying the game again with less than 10 minutes to play. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers blew out the Washington Huskies 90-73 on Saturday, securing a much-needed win after getting upset by the Oregon Ducks on the road earlier this week. It was a strong start from the Badgers, and they never let go from there, as Wisconsin trailed for just 24 seconds in the win. With Washington […]
It’s another top-25 showdown for Tide Hoops, as the 17th-ranked Crimson Tide head to Knoxville riding a scorching-hot seven game winning streak to take on the 22nd-ranked Vols of Tennessee. To that point, something has to give in this one, as Alabama will put its current SEC win streak up against Tennessee’s active five game […]
Hello everyone. I’m back. Thanks for bearing with everything through my hiatus. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a pretty darn good time to check out of things. I was relatively passively following the team while my time was limited, but caught enough of things to understand how bleak the program now looks. The Irish […]
Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on Michigan State on Sunday looking to prove itself a better team than it was in this past week’s loss to Northwestern. The Hoosiers were teetering on entering the wrong side of the bubble conversation with blowout losses to Illinois and Purdue on the road before throwing themselves […]
The regression continues. Louisville remains ofer Littlejohn. Clemson had lost four in a row coming in. Including Ls to underwhelming Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. No problem against a Cardinal team that has lost its way. If in truth it knew where it was going ever. It’s like the agent at AAA gave them the […]
Lamine Yamal scored his first hat-trick for Barcelona on Saturday as Hansi Flick’s side beat Villareal 4-1 at Camp Nou in La Liga. The teenager was in superb form as he helped secure all three points for the Catalan giants to move them four points clear at the top of the table. After the match, […]
The New England Patriots have made no secret about their desire to upgrade the supporting cast around quarterback Drake Maye this offseason, and are willing to explore different avenues to do so. Among those is swinging a trade, with Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown a popular name tied to the club’s efforts. But while […]
When the Seattle Seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, it marked the end of the best season of Ken Walker’s career. Now, having finished off the year as Super Bowl MVP by showing the world what his unique athleticism and physical traits were capable of […]
Louisville’s struggles against quality opponents, particularly on the road, continued on Saturday afternoon with an 80-75 loss to a Clemson team that entered the weekend having lost four straight. The Tigers remain the only ACC opponent outside of newbie Stanford that the Cardinals have failed to beat on the road since joining the conference in […]
