A Jim Harbaugh team wants to be characterized by their size, strength, and physical nature. That was on display in regards to the team’s defense in 2025 but the offense fell woefully short after losing their best two offensive lineman and the ones who stayed healthy (comparatively) underperforming didn’t help, either. In a new two-round […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had a good bounce-back week, beating the Minnesota Gophers and Ohio State Buckeyes to improve to 16-6 and 8-3 in conference play. However, the two wins didn’t do much for them with AP Top 25 votes, as Wisconsin is still quite far away from cracking the polls. The Badgers got just one […]

Before every football season I continue the tradition set by The Godfather Bill C. and come up with a checklist of accomplishments for the Missouri football team to complete.

For the third consecutive season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team is inching closer to the NCAA Tournament time and finds itself firmly on the cut line. In college basketball, the gray area many middling teams exist in from February to early March is affectionately known as “the bubble.” The NCAA Tournament bubble is purgatory […]
Admittedly, I didn’t watch every minute of every game this past week — weird, busy weekend for me, hence why this story is 24 hours late — so this column will be approached a tad differently. I’ll mostly talk about Vermont’s win over UMBC and NJIT’s win over Vermont. I swear that isn’t my Catamount […]
