Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. Yesterday was a pretty good sports day around here: Huskies beat the visiting Ducks in men’s basketball; the local NFL team punched a ticket to their 4th SB with a chance to settle a beef. The bad news: college football is off the field until August. […]
Ohio State’s Lamar “Bo” Jackson had one of the best freshman seasons for a running back in the history of Ohio State football. One of just six freshmen to surpass the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a single season, the former four-star recruit out of Villa Angela-St. Joseph ran for 1,090 yards as a true freshman, […]
While we all wonder what the 2026 Syracuse Orange football team will look like, recruiting never stops and Fran Brown added two more 2027 commitments over the weekend. First was Erie, PA offensive lineman Edwin Guzman, who is listed at 6’8” and 310 pounds. Guzman isn’t ranked currently but certainly fits the size profile that […]
It’s another week of the Mountain West Recruiting Roundup. Patrick Murray of ESPN+ compiled the list of what he calls the top Group of 6 newcomer classes, made up of high school recruits and transfers. The list features five Mountain West/PAC12 schools: It’s no surprise that Boise State is at the top of the list […]
NC State received a commitment on Sunday from Miami transfer linebacker Raul Aguirre Jr., who was a mainstay in the Hurricanes’ rotation in 2025. Aguirre played in all 16 games for Miami this season, with one start, and recorded 43 tackles. Five of those tackles came against NC State in mid-November. He’ll step right into […]
Ben Williamson doesn’t rush; he just moves quickly. The defensive standout’s quick feet and steady hands earned him a promotion to MLB after just 689 plate appearances in the minors, despite his college career coming in the decidedly mid CAA. And he spent most of the first two-thirds of the 2025 season as the Mariners’ […]
The dates for the 2026 Syracuse football schedule will be announced tonight on the ACC Network, but we now know enough to start framing what next season will look like, as all 12 opponents are officially set. Here’s a look at how each opponent performed last season and what kind of roster talent they’re bringing […]
While Indiana went from 3 wins to 11 wins in one year, everyone wanted to know “how the heck to Curt Cignetti flip that roster so fast to get that sort of result?” When Indiana stomped their way through the 2025 regular season, everyone wanted to know “how the heck does the losingest power program […]
Marshawn Lynch this, Malcom Butler that — the real story of the Seahawks-Patriots at Super Bowl LX is which Colorado Buffaloes star will win a ring. No one likes to see the Patriots in the Super Bowl, especially when they got there by beating the Denver Broncos. But the silver lining to the snow-covered was […]
Over the last four games between Ohio State women’s basketball and the Iowa Hawkeyes, the two sides played close matchups, two overtime games and neither side won by more than 10 points. All of that changed Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa when Ohio State struggled for 35 minutes against head coach Jan Jensen’s Hawkeyes. Jay-Z […]

Check out our original coverage and what we can find from the World Wide Web below. College Football Playoff will remain at […]
The Los Angeles Rams fell just short of the Super Bowl following a 31-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship. Los Angeles played much better than they did in Chicago, and Matthew Stafford put together an MVP-like performance, yet it just wasn’t meant to be this season. Here is the good, the […]
I’m sure the image on the post was a dead giveaway but the play of the year for the Miami Hurricanes in 2025 was the Keionte Scott pick six against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. I covered the play in the Film Review of Miami’s 24-14 win over the Buckeyes on New Year’s Eve […]
Losing two games in a row is not something I thought I’d be talking about on this episode, or hell any episode this season, not because I thought Illinois was bad, but because I thought Purdue was that good. Maybe I overestimated them, or maybe this is just a slump they will come back from. […]

The Missouri Tigers have stayed active addressing the secondary position in the transfer portal with the latest addition of Ole Miss transfer cornerback Chris Graves Jr. Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have loaded up the cornerback room as Graves joins Jahlil Florence (Oregon), Elijah Dotson (Michigan), and Sione Laulea (Oregon) to join Missouri via the […]
With only one game on the schedule, a convincing win over Wake Forest at home over the weekend, Duke did little to improve its own resume this week. Yet, this may be the week that cemented the Blue Devils’ status as a team that “controls its own destiny” for a No.1. seed in the NCAA […]
If you would have told me two years ago that Ohio State could learn a thing or two from Indiana, I would’ve absolutely assumed you were talking about the basketball team. Instead, Curt Cignetti has brought the Hoosiers to the top of the college football world, winning a national title in a perfect 16-0 campaign […]
The New England Patriots are the last team standing in the AFC and as such on to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara. Their opponent is a familiar one, at least as far as the two teams’ title game history is concerned: the Seattle Seahawks, who lost to the Patriots back in Super Bowl XLIX […]
The Penn State Nittany Lions (9-10, 0-8 Big Ten) will try to stop a four-game road losing streak when they square off against the Ohio State Buckeyes (13-6, 5-4 Big Ten) on January 26, 2026 at Value City Arena. In its most recent game, Ohio State fell to Michigan on Friday, 74-62. John Mobley Jr. scored a team-high 22 points (and added two assists and one rebounds). In its previous game, Penn State lost to Wisconsin on Thursday, 98-71. Josh Reed scored a team-high 18 points (and contributed ...
Football betting failures are rarely caused by unpredictability alone. In most cases, losses come from decisions made with incomplete or poorly weighted information. Knowing the teams, watching matches regularly, or following league tables creates familiarity, but familiarity does not equal analysis. Profitable betting depends on identifying prices that lag behind available information. That requires structured […] The post Why Proper Analysis Is the Difference Between Guessing and Profitabl...
As a football fan — and certainly as a Sunderland supporter — you often get a sense of how a game might pan out well ahead of kick off; a vibe that either breeds optimism or pessimism, and on Saturday morning, I have to admit that ahead of our trip to West Ham, I didn’t […]
The Seattle Seahawks had to slay the NFC West beast not once, but twice… twice. They had to beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16 to take control of the NFC West, which they somehow did. Two weeks later, the Seahawks had to overcome the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 1 seed on […]
