Free agency is slowing down, which means we’re officially entering 2026 NFL draft season, and the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster is starting to take shape. That gives us plenty to go over for this week’s mailbag, so let’s get to it! Q: The Raiders still have a lot of needs, albeit a strong FA and […]

The wide receiver position has been one of controversy for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the last number of years. Since 2024, the Steelers have made a notable trade at the position every year. In March of 2024, they traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, but never replenished the hole he left behind. They did […]
I’ll create a second thread if this one blows up. No real upsets yesterday, or really Thursday night, either. Is this going to be another chalky tournament after a couple of double digit seed wins early on Thursday? Here’s today’s slate of games: (9) St Louis vs (1) Michigan, 11:10am (6) Louisville vs (3) Michigan […]
Hey everyone, before we get into this game thread, we need you to go over to yesterday’s Grid Game post and cast a vote. Now I can proceed… Our Spartans dispatched NDSU on Thursday and now move on to contest the Louisville Cardinals of the ACC. The scheduling committee decided to plug our game right […]
College sports is littered with examples of “do something!” hires that took things from bad to worse. And that’s exactly what the Belichick hire was. “Mack fatigue” combined with an unstable support community to yield a joke of a hiring process in which competing visions of the future turned things sour. “It can’t get worse!” Yes, […]
As the Cyclones and the Orange meet for the third time in series history, and second time in Storrs, Conn., Friday afternoon, Kevin Wall of Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician shared his perspective on both the game and other exciting topics. WRNL: Where do Dominique Darius’ 12.6 points per game get redistributed — more […]
Notre Dame began its spring practice season for football to the delight of many. Obviously it’s just the first day of practice, many (many) players are either out or limited, and it’s not full contact yet as they were in helmets and shells. Taking too much away from the first day is dangerous to anyone’s […]
The School: University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Formerly just known as the University of Nebraska, until 1968 when they absorbed the Municipal University of Omaha. Somehow not the newest university in the Big Ten. Somehow in the Big Ten. When I was a kid, they were in the Big Eight. Location: Lincoln, Nebraska. As the name would […]
It’s time to face the postseason. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team has made it to the postseason with their eyes on a second threepeat. The Tigers are looking for a strong score in the greatest quad meet in NCAA history against #1 Oklahoma, #3 Florida and #4 Alabama in the night session […]
The day before a team’s first game of the NCAA Tournament is spent with practice and media. On Friday, that meant Ohio State women’s basketball in the Schottenstein Center with the arrival of the Howard Bison, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Fairfield Stags. The practice part comes naturally to Division I athletes, but the media […]
With basketball season now officially over, it’s time to move on to the Wisconsin Badgers football team, with spring ball starting up this week. The Badgers hosted their first practice on Thursday, with their second open practice to the media being on Saturday morning. Wisconsin has a far different team in 2026 after overhauling its […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Matt Taylor, the radio voice of the Indianapolis Colts, to discuss the newest Chicago Bears defensive lineman, Neville Gallimore. Last season was Gallimore’s first in Indy, and he was asked to step in for an injured DeForest Buckner, which led to a career year. […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is just over a month away. While every draft is important, this year comes with some added pressure for the Dallas Cowboys. After a somewhat active free agency period, the Cowboys still have plenty of needs, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, that they have to address in the […]
After dispatching Penn without too much consternation or a FranCon 6 level blow up, Illinois moves on to face VCU in the second round. Just like the last time Illinois was a 3-seed two years ago, they get the Atlantic 10 Conference Champion after they upset a 6-seed, in this case the hapless, Caleb Wilson-less […]
After an opening day of straight chalk, we welcome Day 2 of the 2026 NCAA Tournament. The three other No. 1-seed are in action, as well as three of the four No. 8-vs.-No. 9 matchups, which are always expected to be the tightest contests. I’m particularly interested in two of those games, because they involve […]
Nine Big Ten programs made the NCAA tournament this season, including regular-season champion Michigan and tournament champion Purdue. Ohio State and Wisconsin lost on Thursday, leaving seven Big Ten teams remaining in the field as second-round play begins today. Here’s ... The post 2026 NCAA tournament: Previewing Big Ten second round matchups appeared first on Inside the Hall | Indiana Hoosiers Basketball News, Recruiting and Analysis .
If you wanted some surprise and drama to start the 2026 NCAA Tournament, there wasn’t much of any provided on Friday. All of the top seeds won their games, and only a few games were decided by single digits. While the results went as expected, that doesn’t mean the games weren’t worth watching or without […]
It's all grinding on.
Over the years, Princeton has had the penchant for being one those teams that could pop a surprise run in the ECAC Tournament.Add 2026 to that list of years.Princeton topped two-time defending champion Cornell in the ECAC semifinal to make its fifth league final in history. It took resilience and an impressive buy-in to make it all work."I am just really proud of the guys here tonight," said Princeton...
While the University of St. Thomas doesn't officially join the NCHC until July 1, its loss to Minnesota State in the CCHA finals effectively ended its tenure in that league.It had to be a little bittersweet for the Mavericks — thrilled they won again, but probably wondering, "why not us" on the NCHC expansion spot.Since joining the ranks of Division I, St. Thomas has improved steadily, going from...
After winning 11 games in a row to start the season, Dartmouth quickly became a favorite in the ECAC.But this is Dartmouth, a program that never won anything in the ECAC and hadn't been to the NCAA Tournament in 46 years. It was going to have to prove it over a longer haul than just 11 games. The Big Green had built a reputation of faltering when it mattered the most, and there needed to be strong...
Welcome to Saturday of the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament! I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that because this is the Round of 32 for the men’s basketball tournament, there is only one game on at a time between 11am and 5:10pm when TNT gets Houston/Texas […]
