We didn’t really get into this Saturday, being focused on the Michigan game, but the NCAA released its top 16 seeds during the day. Michigan, Duke, Arizona and Iowa State were the #1 seeds – and then, naturally, Michigan and Iowa State lost. Fortunately for Iowa State, so did #2 seeds Houston and Illinois (if […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are back in action on Sunday, taking on the Iowa Hawkeyes after losing to the Ohio State Buckeyes on the road earlier this week. The Badgers had a great week last week, upsetting two top-10 teams and returning to the AP Top 25 for the first time since Week 4, but that […]
Mizzou got the win they needed this week. At the start of the week they needed to find a way to go 1-1 if they wanted to be IN the NCAA Tournament versus OUT, and Mizzou got themselves back in with a win over Vandy. Finding a win at Bud Walton would have been great, […]

The SEC currently has a record-tying 10 ranked teams. But there’s little question about which one is the best. No. 3 South Carolina is a conference-leading 12-1, giving them a two-game cushion over their closest challengers, No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Vanderbilt, both of which have three conferences and were defeated by the Gamecocks. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to navigate uncertainty at the quarterback position as they await clarity on Aaron Rodgers’ future with the franchise.

Despite Ohio State losing critical pieces over the offseason, its roster still looked solid on paper and good enough to keep up with any team in the nation. The Buckeyes' top-6 was solid, outside of losing their leading scorer, their back end was still steady and their goaltending had potential to be really good.“When you have some change over, you're not sure where it's going to come from. And ...
The Wolf Pack came into Saturday’s matchup against the Utah State Aggies on a two-game losing streak, and a bad one at that. With near 20-point losses to San Diego State and San Jose State, giving SJSU its second win in conference play, things were on the decline for Nevada, and coming back home to […]
BYU desperately needed a signature win for morale and the resume, and the Cougs delivered Saturday night in a 79-69 home win #6 Iowa State in Provo. The committee released its top 16 seeds earlier in the day, and Iowa State was the fourth #1 seed. AJ Dybantsa was spectacular once again, playing all 40 […]

LOS ANGELES — Inside Pauley Pavilion on Saturday night, Illinois’ Big Ten title hopes hung by a thread. When Illinois was on the verge of hanging onto a shaky win, the Bruins’ Donovan Dent took off like a rocket, in the matter of moments, he made his way from one end of the court to […]
Notre Dame is on the brink of not making the ACC Tournament — that’s how bad the season has been. It got damn disastrous on Saturday with a 73-68 loss to the Pitt Panthers. Shrewsberry needs to be shown the door — this is too much. Late Irish Flurry Falls Short in 68-73 Loss at […]

In absolutely heartbreaking news, reports emerged Saturday that former Arizona Cardinals receiver Rondale Moore is dead at age 25, according to multiple reports. His death was confirmed by the New Albany, Ind. police chief Todd Bailey. Moore was reportedly found in a garage, but very few details are available at this time. There will be […]
Purdue fans will always remember October 20, 2018. Now both major stars from that night are gone way too soon. Yes, that was Tyler Trent’s big night as Purdue thumped No. 2 Ohio State 49-20, but it was Rondale Moore who put on a show that night. The call of, “HE’S STILL GOING!!!” when he […]
Nate Oats took his surging basketball team on the road to LSU tonight and brought home a 90-83 victory. The game got off to a slow start. Midway through the first half the score showed a 14-13 snoozefest, and that’s exactly what it was. Both offenses woke up a bit from there, however, and Alabama […]
Hey TOC Nation, here are the results of our latest survey questions. In our first question, I asked you to predict how Michigan State would fare in their final five games. Exactly half predicted a 3-2 record down the stretch. I would presume then that the most popular belief is that MSU will win the […]

Mark Pope’s squad is now 17-9 after dropping two straight games to the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs. The Florida loss was […]
In the wake of an upset win over Nevada, San Jose State (7-20, 2-14 MW) walked into ExtraMile Arena on Saturday afternoon searching for some consolation history; their first-ever road win over Boise State (16-11 8-8 MW) and a program-first victory in Boise after 23 straight losses on the Broncos’ home floor. Instead, they ran […]

According to Homer — Homer the Scribe, not Homer Simpson — Thetis dipped her son as a babe into the River Styx. Which was meant to impart invulnerability, or so I surmise. Which worked, more or less, because that son Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War. And was considered to be invulnerable. Except […]
