This one was as chaotic as the weather it was played in. Northwestern couldn’t brave the elements as the Wildcats fell to Illinois in snowy Champaign on Saturday. This loss marked the Wildcats second consecutive defeat to its in in-state rivals. Preston Stone came crashing back down to Earth after his season-best performance against Minnesota […]
UNC Football’s 2025 season came to an end on Saturday with a 42-19 loss to NC State in Raleigh. For many Carolina fans, it is likely a merciful end to a frustrating and disappointing season. The Wolfpack’s 42 points were the most they’ve scored against the Tar Heels in more than two decades. The win […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The Battle for the Land of Lincoln trophy had a backdrop filled with the ultimate football weather. Freezing wind and a downpour of snow. It would not be an Illinois game without a little bit of late game drama, and when usually the Orange and Blue lean on their offense to be […]
Down by three points with two minutes left, Maryland football just needed a stop to give its potent offense a chance to tie the game or take the lead. Michigan State was staring down the barrel of a fourth-and-7 from Maryland’s 10-yard line. The Terps were 0-of-2 on fourth down Saturday night in Detroit. But […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Leading up to Saturday night’s clash between the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Northwestern Wildcats, layers and layers of snow blanketed Gies Memorial Stadium. Having ice-cold hands typically complicates things for quarterbacks and wide receivers, eliminating a pretty significant part of virtually every offense in the country. With players slipping and sliding […]
Nebraska 3 vs Ohio State 0 – 25-16, 25-13, 25-20 Nebraska played a variety of line ups in their three-set win against Ohio State. Senior Maisie Boesiger started for the first time in her career with the libero jersey. Fellow senior Allie Sczech started on the right side. The two other seniors on the team, […]
In 2023, Mark Stoops had one foot out the door to Texas A&M until their fanbase revolted. He came back, called himself a “Kentuckian,” and said that, like it or not, this is his home. Two years after the Aggie fan revolt, the only thing the Kentucky fanbase agrees on is that the “Kentuckian” needs […]
I need to begin by saying that the attendance for this game was pitiful. We could have fit this evening’s crowd into my high school’s stadium (North Farmington Raiders Rule!) Let’s get to the game. Michigan State received the ball to begin the game and proceeded to move the ball down the field with runs […]
The Virginia Cavaliers beat the brakes off of the Virginia Tech Hokies in their regular season finale on Saturday night, winning 27-7 in front of a raucous, 58,000-deep home crowd. With the win, the ‘Hoos finish their regular season at 10-2 (7-1 ACC) and claim their spot in the ACC championship game. With UVA’s third […]
The Wahoos have a quarterback and a decent enough team to dominate the Hokies and head to the ACC championship game. There is probably only one good thing to come out of this mess and it’s that the season is mercifully over for the hapless Hokies. The defense did the best that it could, given […]
By early October, all of Clemson’s playoff hopes were gone. Then the ACC Title game chances evaporated. They fell to 3-5 at one point, and it appeared Clemson would have massive difficulty just reaching a bowl game. Dabo Swinney needs to change his coaching philosophy on the portal for Clemson to get back to national … Continue reading »

Rutgers Football lost in their winner-take-all senior day game against Penn State 40-36. The Scarlet Knight faithful looked on as the Nittany Lions clinched bowl eligibility in a game Rutgers had a good chance to win. The game would start fast for both teams, as they scored a combined 28 points in the first quarter […]
Well, Alabama survived a first half in Lee County, managing to make it to halftime with a 17-6 lead. The Tide settled for a field goal on the second drive after a facemask penalty got them into good field position, then put together two of their better offensive drives of the season to go up […]
That was not the ending to the regular season Wake Forest was hoping for. With a 10-win season still in the cards for the Deacs, Wake played maybe their worst game of the season, constantly shooting themselves in the foot to play themselves right out of what was a very winnable game. That simply did […]
It was four years in the making, but today, the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes took it to the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines in the most dominating way possible. After a few hiccups, they got everything together and manhandled That Team Up North en route to a thoroughly impressive and entertaining 27-9 victory. To celebrate […]
While most of you were nervously watching Penn State’s football team earn bowl eligibility against Rutgers, the basketball team was busy taking care of business against a Sacred Heart team they were a 15-point favorite against. Both teams took turns exchanging buckets in the first five minutes, with Sacred Heart taking a 9-8 lead with […]
So here we are, since the moment FSU was snubbed for the CFP at 13-0, they’ve gone 7-17 (3-13), with no bowls, and a 0-6 record against rivals Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Their ACC record is a conference worst. The program is a corpse, and everybody knows it. They just lost by 40-21 to a … Continue reading »
According to the Fox broadcast, with 8 inches of snow Saturday in Champaign, Illinois’ season finale against Northwestern is the snowiest game in Gies Memorial Stadium history. And TCR photographer Craig Pessman is there to capture it all. We’ll keep adding photos throughout the night here.
For the third-straight year, the Miami RedHawks (7-5, 6-2 MAC) are headed to Detroit, Michigan to play in the Mid-American Conference Championship Game, taking care of business in a 45-24 dispatching of the Ball State Cardinals in front of the home crowd at Yager Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The first quarter suggested an early shootout […]

God what a letdown. LSU was so close to scoring a signature win—and ending Oklahoma’s season along the way—instead the inept Tiger offense, just as it has all season long, was beyond horrendous and wasted a stellar effort by the defense. The story of today’s loss can be summed up in two plays: Harold Perkins […]
If you’re reading this, Mizzou is probably still running. To the locker room? To the bus? Hell, Drinkwitz might have them run home in the cold. It’s worked so far! Mizzou ended their 2025 season on a high note, rolling through 2-10 Arkansas for a convincing, if often droll, 31-17 win. Here are your five […]
