Game thread: Virginia Tech vs. NC State
Not quite sure what we’ve done to deserve this, but according to the game notes, ex-UNC forward John Henson is on the call for this game. The kids won’t know who he is but I need my fellow millennials in the building to boo this man. Hokies vs. Wolfpack Tip time: Noon ET TV: The […]

2026 Bears draft: 5 dream prospects to fall to No. 25
With the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the chances the Bears acquire a blue-chip prospect are pretty slim. That’s not at all to say that they can’t end up with a blue-chip player with that pick. Rather, we’re talking about an extremely highly-touted prospect heading into the draft. There’s a difference between […]
Super Bowl predictions 2026: Fans pick Seahawks vs. Patriots winner
Well, in case you didn’t know, Mike Vrabel used to be the coach of the Tennessee Titans. Amy Adams Strunk fired him, and now, in his first year with the New England Patriots, he has taken his team to the Super Bowl. It appears that 79% of us will be rooting against him. Are you […]
Illinois names Jared Elliott tight ends coach
Bret Bielema has some spots to fill on his coaching staff. He filled one of them on Friday with Jared Elliott. Elliott served as tight ends coach at New Mexico last year, and he’ll serve in the same position on the Illini staff in 2026. The program said Elliott has served as a college coach […]
Who should be Bret Bielema’s next defensive coordinator?
For the third time in six seasons, the Fighting Illini football team will have a new defensive coordinator. Aaron Henry accepted the Co-Defensive Coordinator/Secondary coach position at the University of Notre Dame. Henry was promoted to the Defensive Coordinator position when Ryan Walters left to become the Head Coach of Purdue in 2023. Henry’s tenure […]

Matthew Golden excelled on third and fourth down in 2025
Nobody’s going to argue that Matthew Golden had a statistically dominant rookie season, or even a particularly noteworthy one. 29 catches for 361 yards isn’t going to turn a lot of heads, no matter how you slice it. But Golden was great for the Packers in at least one significant area: he consistently came up […]
Twister sister forecast: Pressure rises out west
It’s been quiet. Too quiet. Even if we don’t know of any lingering injuries outside of Addy Brown’s absence, I don’t think anyone ever complains about some extra days off. Following a four game win streak, a now rested Iowa State squad prepares for their first of two legs in the state of Utah, taking […]
Yankees re-sign first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to one-year contract
On January 28th, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman addressed the media after Cody Bellinger’s return to the Bronx became official. When inevitably asked about the Yankees deciding to essentially bring back the same roster that lost the AL East and the ALDS to the Blue Jays in 2025, he said that this wasn’t the case: […]
Browns Todd Monken hire: Process, outcome grades
The Cleveland Browns will have a new head coach on the sidelines for the 2026 season. Todd Monken, who was with the team as an offensive coordinator in 2019, left the team for the University of Georgia to be that team’s offensive coordinator. He spent two years with the Bulldogs before returning to the NFL […]
Deep dive into Browns HC Todd Monken’s coaching stops, his improved offenses
When the Cleveland Browns first hired Kevin Stefanski back in 2020, they envisioned a hard-running back-driven offense similar to his Minnesota Vikings offensive attack that he had displayed. And in several years, the Browns run game was dominant, highlighted by the talents of Nick Chubb. But the quarterback situation never became solved under Stefanski. Turnover […]
Super Bowl 2026 prop bets: Patriots’ Milton Williams to dominate?
The Super Bowl is right around the corner and there’s no better way to get involved than on the FanDuel Sportsbook. As the Patriots offense will look to move the ball against a top-ranked defense, New England’s defense will look to stay red-hot against Sam Darnold and the Seahawks’ offense. If they are able to […]
Michigan State Reacts Survey Results
This week’s results of our survey questions may be a little skewed as I imagine most of the voting occurred prior to Wednesday evening’s defeat at Minnesota. Certainly, we would have received some different, less positive, results had we dropped these questions on Thursday. That said, here is how TOC Nation voted. Just under half […]
As a Colts fan, I’m not sure how much of the Super Bowl I can watch
The New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl. That sentence makes my stomach drop. How many times have we heard that line over the last two decades? Nine. That’s how many. After Tom Brady moved on and Bill Belichick traded the NFL out for college, I thought we were done. Unfortunately, that is not […]
A twist of fate brought Kennedy Blair to Michigan State, where she has gone from walk-on to star
Redshirt sophomore point guard Kennedy Blair’s path to becoming the best player on the No. 12 team in the nation—and the team she grew up rooting for—involved a financial sacrifice and playing-time gamble before her college career began. Blair gave up a scholarship to Bowling Green because she wanted to follow head coach Robyn Fralick […]
Maryland men’s basketball at Minnesota preview
Maryland men’s basketball is quickly starting to become a get-right opponent in the Big Ten. No. 12 Purdue had lost three straight games before playing Maryland. It won by 30 points, more than double the next-largest margin of victory in series history. Ohio State had lost three straight games on the road. It won by […]
Takeaways from Mike LaFleur’s Arizona Cardinals introduction; possible DC candidates
Happy Saturday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are preparing for Super Bowl LX, even though it seems incredibly underwhelming compared to years past. For the Cardinals, it is a worse case scenario. A division foe or a team that was awful and made one move at coach and […]
No. 22 Maryland women’s basketball reignited its halfcourt offense to get back in the win column against No. 12 Michigan State
During the second quarter of No. 22 Maryland women’s basketball’s clash with No. 12 Michigan State, backup point guard Kyndal Walker crossed the halfcourt line. She picked her head up, scanned the Spartans’ defense and identified Kennedy Blair tentatively stepping toward her, her body perpendicular to the rim. Walker attacked, blowing past Blair before she […]
Saturday Dawg Chow (2/7): Everything ends badly. Just ask Jim Schwartz
In the 1988 movie Cocktail, Tom Cruise’s character remarks that, “everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end.” That sentiment was on display Friday when the news came out that Jim Schwartz was resigning as defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. It may have been inevitable, but there was still hope that Schwartz would be professional […]
GameDay: Hey let’s win at South Carolina!
Winning is hard. Winning on the road is harder. Winning on the road in conference play is the hardest. Mizzou has been in the SEC now 14 seasons and they have 26 road wins in league play. That’s an average of less than 2 per season. And each year they play 9 road games, so […]
Unai Emery Goes On Confusing Rant About Harvey Elliott Loan Clauses
Like many Liverpool fans, I was sad to see Harvey Elliott leave this summer on a season-long loan to Aston Villa, with an obligation to buy if he makes a paltry 10 appearances. On one hand, it made sense: the current manager Arne Slot clearly didn’t rate the young attacking midfielder, and he is too […]
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur: Live stream, Time & How to watch
Manchester United will be looking to make it four wins out of four under interim boss Michael Carrick when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford for an intriguing Premier League clash on Saturday lunchtime. The two teams butt heads for the first time since August when Matthijs de Ligt scored a 96th-minute equaliser for […]
2026 LSU Baseball Position Preview: Third Base
What do you want out of your third basemen? Do you want someone who swings a big stick with some iffy defense? Or do you want a golden glove with a bat that—to put it mildly—struggles? Jay Johnson’s won two national titles on either side of that spectrum. In 2023 Johnson Tanked his way to […]
