No way to sugarcoat it, folks: The Cotton Bowl was a disastrous collapse for an Ohio State team that spent most of this season looking untouchable. For me personally, the taste of victory has been replaced by the taste of my foot in my mouth after days of talking about how Miami wouldn’t make it […]
Both teams think they've turned a corner on a bad season.
Indianapolis, IN — Former Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians recently shared his thoughts on the state of the Indianapolis Colts, emphasizing the importance of patience as a reason to remain calm during challenging times. Arians has regularly appeared on The Pat McAfee Show for the 2025-26 NFL season, providing his insight and knowledge of […]
Luke Raley’s alma mater is Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio. Founded in 1856 as a female seminary, the school initially aimed to educate the gentler sex in the domestic arts and etiquette, but gradually became a cradle of the suffragist movement, hosting speakers like Jane Addams and Susan B. Anthony and educating the women’s […]
San Jose Sharks fans have been pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Igor Chernyshov, who has not looked out of place in his seven games with the NHL squad so far. Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky was blunt when asked if the 20-year-old belonged in the NHL recently, answering with a simple “Yes.” But whether he sticks around after everyone gets healthy is another question. Sharks fans may need to be prepared for some frustration: this Sharks roster is built for the Future is Teal mantra, not the fut...

First of all, Happy New Year! 2026 is the year for Aggie Football, I can feel it. Or at the very least, it will be a year. But more importantly, the transfer portal officially opens on Friday, Jan. 2, which means it’s high time we take a look at the departures from the current A&M […]
The Carolina Panthers were in a lot of conversations through the month of December about the playoffs. At one time they were wild-card contenders, at others they had myriad chances to clinch their division. At this point, we all know how those conversations went and where the Panthers stand today. The long story short is […]

The entire saga surrounding former hockey player Ben Johnson seems to have come to its predictable conclusion today after the ECHL's Allen Americans released him from the contract he signed yesterday. Thanks to the intense swell of public backlash, the Americans seem to have reconsidered their statements on "second chances" for Johnson who is a convicted rapist that spent time in jail in Canada for his crimes as he's one again a free agent. I have taken great care on this blog to explain why s...

D1 Baseball is a website dedicated to tracking all of the happenings across major college baseball, […]
If you had Ohio State tabbed as your College Football Playoff winner please accept my sympathies. One thing we’re learning here in the new, expanded playoff era is that when you have to run a gauntlet of some of the best teams in America you can take nothing for granted. Today brings three more contests […]
There’s some damned good football being played today. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve Nebraska. Perhaps you’d rather be done with college football for the season, but Oregon vs Texas Tech, Alabama vs Indiana, and maybe even Georgia vs Ole Miss should be exciting and interesting games. Women’s Basketball Nebraska Cornhuskers (20/25) at Iowa Hawkeyes (14/14)Thursday, Jan. […]
Morning, all! Tyler Mahle, who originally joined the Rangers while recovering from Tommy John surgery prior to the 2024 season, has signed with the Giants. Over at Yahoo Sports they have three New Year’s resolutions for the Texas Rangers. And that’s all I’m finding this morning.
The Rangers announce more roster moves as injuries continue to impact their disappointing season.
Hopefully everyone out there has the day off. Feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss goals for the new year, the college football playoff, food, or anything else that comes to mind.
After a long wait the quarter-final game against Texas Tech is finally here. The two teams will battle it out for a spot in the CFP semi-finals. A Ducks win would mark their first trip back to the CFP semi-finals since 2014. Last year’s quarter-final saw Oregon’s perfect season come to an end in resounding […]
I’m not usually one that falls into the, “I’m rooting for X league!” conversation in bowls or the NCAA Tournament. I never cared. Something bad happened to a league rival? YES. I want the worst possible consequences for my league rivals. Wisconsin’s fall? YES. MOAR. Nebraska struggling for nearly a quarter-century now and getting blown […]
Manchester City host a surprising surging Sunderland side in a Premier League clash, a new and tricky team for the blues and one that could have some fireworks.

Happy New Year to you all. We hope and pray that everyone gets to accomplish all of their dreams and goals in the year of 2026. On the first day of the new year, the Nets will be taking on the red hot Houston Rockets led of course by ex-Net Kevin Durant, who will be […]
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced his quarterback decision for Week 18 on Wednesday. Rookie Brady Cook will make his fourth consecutive start as the Jets close out the 2025 season against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Cook, of course, does not give the Jets the best chance to win. It’s a ridiculous thing for […]
Bijan Robinson’s career year continued with another big performance in Week 17. The 195 yard, two touchdown night (one through the air and one on the ground) on paper was his best performance yet this year, and has now earned him his 2nd NFC offensive player of the week award. His first came in Week […]
Quinn Hughes' arrival in Minnesota has been an injection of adrenaline into an already surging team. It has changed the entire team's feel. The move has signalled that the organization is done waiting around and is ready to chase something bigger right now.
The Wild didn’t make a safe middle-of...
We are in 2026 and the NHL season is half over. While the standings are close, some teams have revealed themselves as sellers, even some that are closer to a playoff spot than a normal seller would be. While the wildcard spot to last place in the Eastern Conference is separated by six points and the cutoff is 46 points, the Western Conference cutoff is 41 points and last place has 34. But even teams who look to have even a chance to make the playoffs don't have the roster to compete yet and co...
