For the first time since February, Joel Embiid played a basketball game. Sure, it was only preseason, but given how miserable the last calendar year has been for this franchise and fanbase, it’s something. Led by Embiid and a dynamic guard trio, the Sixers took down the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-110 for their only preseason win […]
Almost two weeks ago, the Everton again entered the campaign’s second international break on a high following a rousing come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Oliver Glasner’s high-flying Crystal Palace, preserving the club’s unbeaten record at Hill Dickinson Stadium. It was a timely moment, as the upbeat mood resulting from a positive start to the season had […]
This game should finish quite a few things off. First of all, look at our last 5 games on the schedule – Northwestern, Southern Cal, UCLA, Penn State, Iowa. People were referring to that slate as one which could be run. I questioned that before tonight. Northwestern is suddenly scrappy. Southern Cal? Ouch. UCLA? Not […]
Big. Game. Brohm. Where to begin? WHERE TO BEGIN?! After having to sit in the smelly stew of the UVA OT loss for nearly two weeks, the Cards finally got the chance to put that agonizing loss behind them and fans got the chance to move on. Only problem was that the palate cleanser was […]
You don’t get nights like this often (or if you’re listening to this on Saturday or Sunday — weekends like this often). Soak it up. Shoutout to my half asleep daughter for the surprise cameo. What a freaking night. Direct link here.

Eugenio Suárez’s catchphrase “Good Vibes Only” is so well-known, it’s on the wall of the clubhouse. It’s easy to focus on the positive, inspirational throw-pillow aspects of the slogan: good vibes! It’s easy to say, and very hard to do, especially in baseball, a game that seems to delight in humbling people. A game that […]

When the Virginia Tech Hokies fired head coach Brent Pry in mid-September, it opened the transfer portal for the entire team for 30 days. Some players jumped in, such as cornerback Dante Lovett and wide receiver Tucker Holloway, but not as many as some believed. Other players with redshirt seasons available could be choosing to […]
After the 34-16 loss to Ohio State, the Illini have the week off. Now, of course, they will use the time to get some players fully healthy, such as Kaden Feagin and Ca’Lil Valentine, to name a couple. but some glaring questions will have to be answered before next weekend’s trip to Seattle to take […]
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani had arguably the greatest individual game in the history of Major League Baseball to clinch the pennant for the Dodgers, hitting three home runs to go with six scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on the mound in Game 4.

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers came into tonight’s game trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in the National League Championship Series.

The Miami Hurricanes lost their first game of the season tonight, 24-21. It was a frustrating game to watch from the start, with the defense giving up a quick 14 points and the offense not being able to generate any momentum the entire night. Just a bad performance by a team I thought was better […]
Miami’s undefeated season is no more, as the Canes lost to Louisville 24-21 on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium. Carson Beck had an absolutely disastrous performance, throwing 4 picks. The rest of the stats are irrelevant, frankly. Miami’s offensive line got its butt whipped from start to finish in run blocking, mustering just 63 […]
Darius Taylor and the Gopher offensive line found their footing against the Nebraska defense as Minnesota beat Nebraska 24-6, the sixth straight win in this rivalry.

Philadelphia 76ers center and former NBA MVP Joel Embiid returned to action in the Sixers’ preseason finale on Friday night. The Sixers won their final exhibition game 126-110 over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but most of the attention was on the result of Embiid’s return more so than the result of the game itself. It is […]
We learned two things on Friday night. Louisville is good enough to make it to Charlotte and win the ACC, and is QB Carson Beck what eventually limits Miami’s ceiling? First off all credit to the Louisville Cardinals for a spectacular game plan on both sides of the ball. They controlled the line of scrimmage … Continue reading »
The Buffalo Bulls (3-3, 2-0 MAC) look to remain undefeated in league play with a game in hand this weekend, traveling to Amherst, Massachusetts to play the UMass Minutemen (0-6, 0-2 MAC) in what will be the first edition of the newly-christened Flagship Cup rivalry.

Despite their first win on Wednesday night, the Buffalo Sabres are already facing a crisis about the future of the team, and what happens with star forward Alex Tuch . Aside from those existential issues, the Sabres are also dealing with another long absence for center Josh Norris . He'll be out for "a significant amount of time."
