The weekend—and a Monday—has gone by without Washington State announcing their next head football coach. Since Jimmy Rogers’ unexpected decision on Friday, social media has been on fire with a slew of names people are suggesting. It seems every hour there’s a new candidate people are falling in love with or rolling their eyes at. […]
Atlético Madrid fended off a late PSV rally to come away from the Netherlands with a vital 3-2 victory in the Champions League. They had to do it from a goal down, as poor defending in a high line saw the Dutch champions take the lead after 10 minutes. A Julián Alvarez equaliser before half […]
Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet. Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...
Philip Rivers is BACK with Colts! Will he start in Seattle? IU hosts Penn State tonight!
Barcelona will have to cope without Lamine Yamal next time out in the Champions League against Slavia Prague after he picked up a one-match ban against Eintracht Frankfurt. Yamal was booked in the second half of the match, his third of the campaign so far in Europe, which brings an automatic ban. The teenager will […]

On Sunday, the Northwestern football team (6-6, 4-5 B1G) learned that it will face off against the Central Michigan Chippewas (7-5, 5-3 MAC) on Dec. 26 at the GameAbove Sports Bowl. If you had not heard of GameAbove before this weekend, not to fear – neither had I. Ford Field (the home of the Detroit […]
Washington has played nine games so far this season which means we are almost 30% of the way through the regular season. Given that we are in the middle of a one-week break in the action thanks to finals and the end of fall quarter, it seems like a good time to stand back and […]
Clemson will face Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 27th. After rallying to close out the season with four straight wins, Clemson will be rewarded with its first appearance in the Pinstripe Bowl, located in New York City’s Yankee Stadium. The showdown will be televised on ABC at noon. The narrative surrounding this […]
Six Mizzou Tigers have been named to All-Conference teams by the SEC’s head coaches. Sophomore Ahmad Hardy leads a contingent of four Tigers on the All-Southeastern Conference First Team: Hardy (RB); graduate student Keagen Trost (OL); senior Zion Young (DL); and sophomore Josiah Trotter (LB). Juniors Cayden Green (OL) and Damon Wilson II (DL) were […]
Minnesota Golden Gophers running back Fame Ijeboi will enter the transfer portal when it officially opens in January, as reported by On3Sports’s Hayes Fawcett. Ijeboi has three years of eligibility remaining after rushing for 441 yards and two touchdowns this season. This likely means the Gophers will return one or both Darius Taylor and A.J. […]
Here at MWCConnection, we continue to reflect and analyze this past football season, both this week as well as over the months to come. Yesterday, we released our postseason all-MW teams. Today, we are releasing our postseason awards. Like yesterday’s post, our team members submitted their picks, and the players and teams with the most votes […]
What to Watch For Prediction This feels like the perfect get-right game for a slightly reeling Hoosiers team, and the 15-point spread feels just about accurate. Still, I’m interested to see how some of Penn State’s younger and less experienced players perform in a true hostile environment. But I’m expecting Mike Rhoades’ squad to get […]
As the new year approaches and conference play begins, the top tier of women’s college basketball has started to take form. The current top five—No. 1 UConn, No. 2 Texas, No. 3 South Carolina, No. 4 UCLA and No. 5 LSU—each bring unique strengths to the hardwood, backed by impressive results and statistical indicators that […]
Accolades matter in the world of college football. There’s no way around this. For fans, they’re how we dole out bragging rights. Beating our rivals, winning the conference, and winning bowl games or national championships all factor into how much trash you get to talk about a season. Even in Ohio State’s 2024 national championship […]

Deep inside an undisclosed Charlotte hotel, the ACC Icons gathered together to discuss the latest issues facing the Atlantic Coast Conference. TNIAAM sources shared a secret audio file of the conversation after Miami was awarded the CFP spot and ACC Champion Duke was left out. This is what we heard…. “Ok Ramses. What did you […]
Mountain West Qualifies Seven Teams for Bowl Season — and the Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher The Mountain West Conference is once again flexing its postseason muscle: seven league teams punched their tickets to bowl games in 2025, underscoring the Mountain West Conference’s reputation as one of college football’s most consistently competitive leagues. That is 18 […]
What a weird season this has been for the Falcons, and I absolutely mean that in a bad way. Any hope we had early on was choked out weeks ago. Nothing this team does makes sense, whether it’s getting shut out entirely by the Carolina Panthers or beating the Bills. And normally in a lost […]
Monday evening’s loss in Los Angeles was a throwback for Eagles fans. Beyond the analogies to previous collapses, inept offenses and disastrous coaching performances, the Birds’ overtime gut punch at the hands of the Chargers evoked a deeper feeling in me as an Eagles fan, one that was once so commonplace that I haven’t felt […]
