The DBR Podcast crew is back with DBR Bites 118 to preview Duke Football’s upcoming trip this weekend to Death Valley to take on Clemson! The Blue Devils are back on the football field this weekend after their final bye week of the season, and we’re headed down to take on the Clemson Tigers in […]
It was the Jac-est of times, it was the Caglianonest of times. What did we expect to happen? The Royals lucked—yes, lucked—into drafting Jac Caglianone with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He’d been a star for the Florida Gators, and in a draft with no clear top pick, there was no […]
The nightmare continues for Syracuse Orange football. A fourth consecutive loss, this time a 41-16 drubbing at Georgia Tech last Saturday, not only put SU in danger of missing the Military Bowl, but it’ll likely miss Bowl Season altogether. Here’s where we stand on the meter after eight games: For the Orange to have a crack at […]
This Friday, the University of Missouri Tigers are set to take on the Southeastern Conference’s top collegiate cross country teams at the Cherokee Farm Cross Country Course in Knoxville for the 2025 SEC Cross Country Championship. Hosted by the University of Tennessee, this event will feature the men’s 8k race at precisely 9:08 a.m. CDT […]
Welcome back to the Transfer Portal Team of the Week! Only four games took place, but we still had big-time wins for San Diego State and New Mexico! As per usual, we have the best possible lineup that can be built from the top performing transfers of Week 9! We’ll also highlight the best transfer […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Nebraska fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. After losing a tight one late least season to USC, the Trojans come to Lincoln for […]
If NC State is going to make a coaching change this year, it will do so in what might be the most hectic carousel cycle to date. Already there are eight power-conference vacancies, including several jobs that are clearly better than NC State’s: LSU, Florida, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Stanford, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State. […]
After recording the BN Bears podcast ( listen here ) on Monday, I thought I wanted to write this post. Then, after reading Patrick’s Caleb Williams post from yesterday , breaking down the tape from Sunday’s loss to Baltimore, I knew I wanted to write it. I genuinely believe that Caleb Williams is the quarterback of the future for the Chicago Bears. If you’re frustrated that Jayden Daniels (not so much this year) or Drake Maye (only this year) look better than the quarterback who was draft...
Ex-Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov knows what it feels like to arrive with expectation, a reputation, and an immediate demand to deliver. He’s been there twice, in fact. First at Tottenham Hotspur, where he took time to adapt to English football’s pace and intensity, and later at Manchester United, where his languid brilliance sometimes disguised […] The post Dimitar Berbatov shares “world class” advice for Florian Wirtz amid critics for Liverpool star appeared first on Paisley Ga...
The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on UW-Platteville in their final exhibition game on Wednesday before the season opener next week. The Badgers changed things up this season, going with two exhibition games rather than one, as they hosted the Oklahoma Sooners for a game in Milwaukee at the Fiserv Forum last Thursday. It was a […]
After some weeks off, I’m bringing back the Big 12 tier rankings. This is a power poll of sorts, moreso than an analytical look at who’s truly best. Instead of ranking teams from 1-16, I choose different tiers each week to fit where teams are sitting. Tier I – Conference Title Contenders Texas Tech – […]
Oh boy. After the Eagles’ 7th consecutive loss this past weekend, the best team on Boston College’s schedule arrives in Chestnut Hill for the 26th rendition of the Holy War. With the line sitting at ND -28.5 and the O/U at 56.5, let’s get into it: Put simply, this game could get very ugly, very […]
The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons. Penn State is 3-4 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, and they have already fired head coach James Franklin after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA, and Northwestern. In their first […]
As many readers know, from time to time, we attempt to connect with different people who have affiliations with college sports. Over the years, this has allowed us to talk to athletic directors, SIDs, broadcasters, equipment managers, consultants, and even conference commissioners. Recently, we had the opportunity to connect with Parker Titus, who creates graphics […]
The Jets recently claimed rookie linebacker Kobe King off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings. Today we break King down in detail. The 22-year old King is listed at 6’1″ and 250 pounds and was a sixth round pick out of Penn State in April. King, who was an all-Big Ten second-teamer in 2024, recorded four […]
For both UNC and Syracuse, the 2025 football season is rapidly slipping away. Both teams had high hopes when the season kicked off; Bill Belichick was supposed to bring a pro-style program to Chapel Hill, while Syracuse was looking to build upon a massively successful 2024 campaign where they went 10-3, and knocked off ninth […]
With the bye week upon us, it seems like a good time to catch up on Alabama football recruiting for the Class of 2026. While the Crimson Tide already has 23 hard commits, there is still potential to pick up a few more in the coming days leading up to December’s Signing Day. NOV 8 […]
It’s very light on news today, so this will be a panoply of discussion topics. And, let’s begin with a 2025 Alabama Crimson Tide that is beginning to resemble some of those vintage Saban teams. Hear me out, before you register your disagreements. College football’s premier scholar-athlete award that annually recognizes an individual as the […]
Who is on your, as the great Taylor Swift wrote, Wi$h Li$t to be the next head coach at LSU? Dee It’s Kiffin’s to turn down as far as I’m concerned. I’ve always gotten the vibe that he genuinely wants to be at LSU one day. He’s done a good job at Ole Miss (it […]
This weekend, Penn State takes on the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes. In an alternate universe, Penn State is a top 5 or top 10 team, and this is a high stakes game with a trip to Indianapolis (and the Playoffs) on the line. Instead, Penn State is under .500 on the year, has fired its […]
The championship picture might be getting clearer, but there is still a lot to play for. This week’s slate of games promises to be exciting. Looking over at FanDuel’s opening odds can tell us a bit about what the oddsmakers think about this week’s slate of games. Since we cover the entire Mountain West, we have info […]
In an age of coaching turnover, booster collectives and headline-grabbing NIL deals, Ohio State is quietly winning a different sort of recruiting battle: the argument for steadiness. The Buckeyes’ selling point in recruiting rooms this fall has been less about an individual payday or a single flashy promise and more about a predictable process, consistent […]
After a frustrating 17-10 loss to Vanderbilt that dropped Missouri to 6-2 on the season, the Tigers find themselves facing one of their most important weeks of the year. A week without a game. Mizzou’s bye week comes at a critical moment, sitting between a disappointing performance in Nashville and a looming match up against […]
The Gophers stars came out on Week 8. Antoine Winfeld had his best game of the season with an interception and a fumble recovery. Thyer Johnson scored a touchdown and led the Jets in receiving. Both Daniel Faalele and Aireonte Ersery had great games on the line for their teams. A proud week for the […]
The regular season has come to a close for four-star athlete Matt Sieg’s Fort Cherry (McDonald, PA) Rangers, and they claim a perfect 10-0 record. This was in no small part thanks to Sieg’s monster season, which broke multiple WPIAL career records. He capped off his regular season with a 243-yard, four-touchdown performance in a […]
