The Virginia Tech spring game was over one week ago, and the Hokies continue to stay hot on the recruiting trail. After going a few days without a commitment, head coach James Franklin landed another one on Wednesday, as three-star running back Stanley Smart became the latest 2027 pledge. Smart is a 5-foot-10, 200-pound prospect […]
I kinda like that Vanderbilt is good at football. I don’t really like it when Mizzou has to play them. But the story is otherwise very cool. From the overlooked quarterback who now headlines nearly every college football story, to the revival of Jerry Kill, to the fact that Vanderbilt is bowl eligible after 7 […]
The New Orleans Saints head into a crucial NFC South clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season dealing with several key injuries, including multiple season-ending losses, which have significant implications for fantasy football managers. The Wednesday injury report provided some clarity, but managers must monitor updates on key […]
Naithan George and Ibrahim Souare played together for Canyon International Academy, then spent two seasons at Georgia Tech, and are now teammates once again for the Syracuse Orange. Neither of them can even really remember what it felt like to be on a basketball team without the other. “That’s my brother, man,” George said on […]
Sitting in sole possession of last place in the Mountain West, Nevada will host one of its longtime rivals for possibly the last time in a bit. Boise State will be heading to a new conference next year, and they’ll be plenty of festivities before this game. Boise State (5-2, 3-0) @ Nevada (1-6, 0-3) […]
UNC faces Virginia at home in an ACC tilt Saturday, with kick-off set for noon. Let’s look inside the numbers for these two programs this year and see if we find a plausible path to victory for our Tar Heels. 2025 Season So Far: Edge Virginia The Cal loss moved UNC up from 101st to […]
The Minnesota Golden Gophers men’s hockey team returns home for their second of three consecutive weekends of rivalry series when they host the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs at 3M Arena at Mariucci this weekend. Minnesota sees the Bulldogs filling the sandwich between their series at North Dakota last weekend, and the Big Ten opening series at Wisconsin […]

Hosts Jeremy “Hokius” Greco and Jacob Milham kick off with a look ahead to the World Series, diving deep into key matchups and players to watch—yes, Shohei Ohtani gets a shoutout. The duo dissects the drama from ALCS Game Seven, calling […]
Kansas finally returns to the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, as it is once again the Jayhawks’ turn to host the annual Sunflower Showdown. Kansas is still 65-52-5 all-time vs K-State, but the only number I care about right now is 17; the Purple Cats have won 16 in a row in this series. I […]
The Colts’ offense isn’t just the NFL’s best — it’s on a historic pace, averaging more points per drive than any team since 2000. While the additions of Tyler Warren and a fully healthy Jonathan Taylor have made a huge difference, the biggest reason for the Colts’ offensive success has been Daniel Jones and his […]
“You’re not dreaming,” went a tweet that the Phillies put out on March 22, 2022. “Nick Castellanos is a Phillie”. All dreams give way to reality eventually, but the awakening isn’t always so harsh. Over four seasons with the Phillies, Nick Castellanos has provided some sterling moments but nothing resembling the transformative excellence that was […]
In my preview for this game, I wrote about why I thought this would be a tough game. The Seattle Seahawks managed to make it tough for themselves against the Houston Texans, but for other reasons. A strip-sack in the end zone, three turnovers, and still struggling in the running game. The defense kept us […]
The Minnesota Vikings visited the Los Angeles Chargers. Much like last year, it did not go well for the Vikings. It was an embarrassing performance and numerous questionable decisions before and during the game. I’d would say I’m at a loss for words, but obviously you’re reading them so I’m not. Let’s jump in. Kevin […]
The Dallas Cowboys are looking to get over. 500 for the first time this season when they face the Denver Broncos. However, it appears one of their top defensive players may not be on the field. Brian Schottenheimer had this to say about Trevon Diggs practicing and playing. Per Jon Machota of The Athletic, team […]
Date 10/26 || Time 7:00 || Venue Food City Center || Video ESPN2 Next up for Duke is the second and final exhibition game, this time a trip to Knoxville to play the Tennessee Volunteers, where Rick Barnes has done something pretty unusual. We’ve written before about how difficult it is for older coaches to […]

Ahead of the game, drop your questions for this week’s mailbag in the comment section, and return tomorrow for the weekly mailbag. Be sure to bookmark Behind the Steel Curtain for all the latest […]
The USWNT looked uncharacteristically weak and disorganized in a tough 2-1 loss against Portugal on Thursday in Pennsylvania. It was the team’s third loss of the year, and their first ever loss to Portugal. The team struggled to maintain possession and get shots on net. Although they went up early in the first minute of […]
This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]
BRENTFORD VS. LIVERPOOL | Saturday, October 24th |Premier League | Brentford Community Stadium8PM BST/3PM EST Liverpool face both Caoimhín Kelleher, Sepp Van den Berg, and Jordan Henderson on Saturday, with Henderson’s long, direct balls a specific threat against a Liverpool side who have looked shaky in defensive transition thus far this season. The Cherries come […]
Chaos still rules the ACC, where a Friday upset in Miami, a grinder in Durham, and a few wild finishes only tightened the race for Charlotte instead of clarifying it. The top tier now has company, the middle is a mosh pit, and the next few weeks will determine whose play holds up—and whose luck […]
To steal from the once popular Kim Possible: “HERE’S THE SITCH” The Fighting Illini football team sits at a 5-2 record with five games left. It starts this weekend in Seattle vs. the Washington Huskies. The Huskies are 5-2 as well, and even though Illinois is back in the rankings at No. 23, they are […]
The Colorado Avalanche donned their Nordiques throwback jerseys tonight for the first time, as they took on the Carolina Hurricanes, who donned their Hartford Whaler throwbacks as well. While the Avs were able to erase a three-goal deficet and steal a point from the Hurricanes, they would ultimately lose by a final score of 5-4 […]
As we’ve already talked about in the 2025-26 Marquette men’s basketball season preview series, there’s a lot of questions facing the Golden Eagles heading into the year. It’s reasonable to say that there’s more questions facing Marquette than any other season that head coach Shaka Smart has been in charge of so far, and yeah, I’m […]
Gameweek 9 promises another weekend of drama as teams battle to climb the Premier League table and steady their early-season form. Arsenal lead the pack after a string of strong performances, while Liverpool and Manchester City look to close the gap. Manchester United and Chelsea are showing signs of momentum, but tricky fixtures against Brighton […]
Similar to the ones they wore last season with a few modifications.
The Illini head to Seattle this weekend for a daunting matchup against a stacked Washington Huskies squad. Both teams enter the game 5-2. To help break down Jedd Fisch’s squad, we asked Mark Schafer of our sister site the UW Dawg Pound to provide deeper insight. The Champaign Room: Illinois has found some success in […]
