First Quarter Wellll Lisa Bluder is on this call, so I’m already irritated. If you don’t know who that is, she’s the former Iowa head coach; so I have some opinions. Nebraska’s Logan Nissley gets called for the early foul and then Ohio State hits back to back threes. Amiah Hargrove grabs two points, but […]
For six weeks this season, the Nebraska Cornhuskers saw their name in the top-25 Associated Press rankings, until this week. Even so, Big Red brought a two-game winning streak with them to Columbus for a matchup with No. 11 Ohio State women’s basketball in a matchup of two star sophomore point guards in Buckeye Jaloni […]
Things were set up for the Tide to show the nation what they had. A rare Sunday game at noon CT on ABC against Florida, with no football on. The 23rd ranked Tide, that will no longer be rated when the next poll comes out, had no answer for the Gators size, speed, and extremely […]
LINCOLN, Neb. — Revenge! In a crucial conference matchup with potential Big Ten title implications, it was the visiting Illini that came out on top over the gritty Huskers. With the win, Illinois moves into a tie for first place in the Big Ten. For the first time in program history Illinois has beaten top-5 […]
Another top-5 road win for the Illini. I can get used to this. Here’s some of the best reactions to Illinois’ big win Sunday afternoon in Lincoln. Next up: Northwestern on Wednesday.
A month ago, we issued an article giving all of you a chance to show your football predictive chops with the CFP Bracket. And lest you think we don’t own up to our own bad takes around here, we’re also checking the proof now that the dust has settled and Indiana is the reigning national […]
During the 2023 offseason, I put together a little metric I called Pesky+ with the intention of trying to encapsulate and enumerate Geraldo Perdomo’s ability to be a pest in the batter’s box. Back then, Geraldo Perdomo was firmly entrenched as a back of the lineup savant who seemed to always be a tough out […]

With the 2026 Rutgers football schedule out, it is time to start looking ahead to what the season may look like. Although there is still a lot of uncertainty, especially on the defensive side of the ball, the schedule matters as much as the roster. The Scarlet Knights will face the entire spectrum of opponents, […]
The Penn State Nittany Lions have seen the gamut in the first 10 conference games of the season. They’ve nearly beaten the top of the conference, they’ve been blown out against the bottom, and, in true Penn State fashion, have found new and inventive ways to lose games even when they were in prime position […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers still have two key vacancies on their coaching staff. Pittsburgh is still without an offensive coordinator and a special teams coach. While it was largely expected they would be replaced anyway, Arthur Smith took the offensive coordinator job at Ohio State, and Danny Smith left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to fill […]
Nate Oats took his squad down to Gainesville today, and they embarrassed themselves in a national spotlight game on ABC. This one was quite the battle early on. Both teams came out inspired on both ends, and the first 15 minutes were played to a virtual draw. Florida enjoyed the expected advantage down low even […]
While nothing will likely be official for a few weeks, the Cleveland Browns have begun to fill out new HC Todd Monken’s staff, at least on the offensive side of the ball. The Browns defense could still be run by DC Jim Schwartz, but that has been up in the air since Monken got the […]
Don’t look now, but the Tar Heels are on a three-game win streak, spanning two different winter weather systems here in the Triangle In most years, if you said that the Tar Heels had seen two separate instances of accumulation of wintery precipitation fall and melt without dropping a game, you would likely expect the […]
Indiana men’s basketball deserves all the credit for its gutsy, one-point, 2OT victory at UCLA. It was just the second Quad 1 win of the season and the third road win, arguably the second-best resume piece behind the win over Purdue earlier this week. All of that can be true while acknowledging that there was […]
The Wisconsin Badgers welcomed the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Kohl Center and delivered a statement performance, overcoming an early 11-point deficit to outpace the Buckeyes 92–82. After falling behind 15–4 in the opening minutes, Wisconsin showcased its explosive offensive ceiling, hitting the 90-point mark for a school-record ninth time this season. The victory moved […]
The Miami Hurricanes had one of the biggest turnarounds you’ll see from a unit from one year to the next. The Hurricanes’ defense was an abomination in 2024 that ultimately cost the team a trip to the College Football Playoff for the first time ever. What a difference nine months made. Well, that and some […]
Snap this losing streak.
Now that was impressive. The #6 Tigers of LSU (21-2, 7-2) picked up its seventh straight conference win and beat the absolute hell out of #24 Alabama (19-4, 5-3) along the way by a cool 40 points. For the 12th time this season, LSU cracked the century mark. That’s a new SEC record and the […]
Following the game, let’s look at how each player changed their stock. Keep in mind that information can be hard to come by for players, depending on their performance or their position. If anyone else can find info, please post in the comments. That all being said, here is the information found for the players. […]
Everybody knows that one of the best parts of being a sports fan is debating and dissecting the most (and least) important questions in the sporting world with your friends. So, we’re bringing that to the pages of LGHL with our favorite head-to-head column: You’re Nuts. In You’re Nuts, two LGHL staff members will take […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Baltimore Ravens have poached Indianapolis Colts Charlie Gelman, who just completed his third season as the Horseshoe’s football analyst/game management assistant. He will now serve on new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter’s coaching staff as their game management coordinator and as a defensive assistant—which looks like a promotion of […]

Aside from all of the playoff football at both the professional and college level, January is, to me, the single worst month of the year. Why? Because it’s the last hurdle before the baseball season begins. Well friends, we have officially cleared that hurdle. We’re onto February and that means First Pitch is officially less […]
Significant developments this weekend on Illinois’ coaching staff. First, special teams coordinator Robby Discher was reported to be heading to Ohio State. And then on Sunday, CBS Sports reported that defensive coordinator Aaron Henry is expected to head to South Bend and join Marcus Freeman’s staff at Notre Dame. Matt Zenitz reports Henry will be […]
