Boiling Points – Week 8

This week I will review Purdue’s 27 – 20 loss at Minnesota and preview the upcoming Purdue at Northwestern game. About last week … Overall, this was a frustrating loss for Purdue. The three previous games were against much better teams and resulted in three losses. I would say that Minnesota is better than Purdue, […]

Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football VS USC, 1989

Few rivalries in college football capture the pageantry, pride, and pure emotion quite like Notre Dame vs. USC. Every meeting between these two storied programs feels like a chapter in an epic novel—written in gold helmets and cardinal jerseys, under bright lights and brighter expectations.

Zeev Buium Starting Career Comparable to Cale Makar

That's Wild No one truly expected Minnesota Wild rookie Zeev Buium to score a boatload of points in his first ever regular season games. Especially after he somewhat faltered during his debut in the playoffs last season, Buium was largely seen as someone who might need a few weeks to get the fe...

Islanders Gameday: The first frontier…

Whenever their first standings point of 2025-26 comes, the Islanders will be the 32nd NHL team to get one.

Michigan State vs. Indiana Preview

O said that this preview should simply state that “Indiana is very good and MSU is very bad.”  I’m not sure he was fully serious but that certainly is an accurate summation.   When MSU travels to Bloomington, IN to take on the Hoosiers, it may well be a matchup of the best team in the […]

ANALYSIS: What should we expect from Ben Saraf in his rookie season?

The #26 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, one of the five first-rounders belonging to the Brooklyn Nets, did not have an impressive Las Vegas Summer League. Ben Saraf averaged 7/2/4 on 30% shooting in three appearances, and despite an impressive drive here and there, the jumper looked even wonkier than advertised. But, as […]

Scouting Report: SMU Mustangs

SMU is an explosive offense that piles up yards through the air while its defense generates splash plays (turnovers and sacks) and a strong pass rush — but it gives up a lot of total yards.  This season, their outcomes have depended on explosive plays and turnovers, not steady efficiency. That volatility makes them dangerous […]
