This off-season has been a dramatic one for the Ohio State football coaching staff with the Bill O’Brien era lasting only a few days and then the abrupt spring departure of longtime offensive assistant, Tony Alford. But the chaos continues with pass rush specialist, Brandon Jordan, leaving the Ohio State football program.
His tenure was longer than O’Brien’s but not too much longer as Jordan officially joined the program in February and was present for every spring practice. Expectations were high for him as some thought this could be the heir to the Larry Johnson defensive line throne, but life had...

Ohio State defensive coach no longer with program

Clemson, SC

The Clemson Tigers have several marquee matchups on their 2024 schedule, and with exactly 100 days until college football officially kicks off, two of those showdowns made ESPN’s list of 10 games to watch for the upcoming season.
Florida State will face Georgia Tech in 100 days in Dublin, Ireland in what’s commonly known as “Week 0.” A week later, Clemson opens its season on August 31 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta against the Georgia Bulldogs in one of the most anticipated matchups of Week 1.
The Clemson-Georgia tilt ranked No. 8 in ESPN’s list of top 10 games to watch in...

Boulder, CO

After spending five seasons in Pennsylvania playing for the Villanova Wildcats, offensive tackle Wyatt Hummel decided to transfer to where he always knew he would end up: Colorado.
Hummel, an experienced lineman who excelled as a pass-blocker during his time with the Wildcats, announced in late April his intentions to join the Buffaloes. He’s known for his versatility, having played all five positions on the offensive line over 1,000 snaps and 30 career games at Villanova.
Hummel could compete for a starting position at Colorado, likely at one of the tackle spots or center. But he will be a valuable piece that...

Chicago, IL

Projected lottery pick Reed Sheppard emerged as one of the top performers in the strength and agility testing this week at the NBA draft combine in Chicago, Illinois.
Sheppard, who measured in at 6 feet, 1 3/4 inches without shoes, registered the 14th-fastest three-quarter sprint at 3.08 seconds. He finished eighth in the standing vertical jump (32 1/2 inches) and was tied for the highest max vertical jump (42 inches).
The 19-year-old occasionally flashed that athleticism throughout this past season at Kentucky, but he was mostly known as an elite shooter and defender. He reminded everyone watching, including himself, that he can...

South Carolina State

Iowa City, IA

Former Iowa head women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder departs as the winningest coach in Big Ten and Hawkeye history.
Under Bluder’s watch, the Hawkeyes compiled a 528-254 (262-145 Big Ten) record. Iowa advanced to each of the past two Final Fours and national championship games.
The Hawkeyes also made five Sweet 16 trips, three Elite Eights and 18 NCAA Tournaments overall with Bluder directing the program.
Bluder was a three-time Big Ten Coach of the Year recipient and was named the 2019 Naismith Coach of the Year.
Some might naturally think that Bluder’s biggest regret was not capturing either of the past two national championship...

South Carolina junior Meechie Johnson Jr. will reportedly withdraw from the 2024 NBA draft and transfer to Ohio State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports. Johnson was among 201 players who filed as an early-entrant candidate for the draft. He declared while maintaining his remaining college eligibility and will now return to Ohio State after playing the past two years at South Carolina.

Denver, CO

The Denver Nuggets looked completely dead in the water just over a week ago. An embarrassing Game 2 beatdown at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves had folks like Charles Barkley proclaiming Denver would get swept.
Well, heading into Tuesday night’s pivotal Game 5, the series is now tied at 2-2 after Denver took both road games in Minneapolis. And it sure seems like a diss track that Nuggets head coach Michael Malone pieced together really resonated with his team. Any time you feature prominent NBA media personalities doubting your players in public, it’s bound to strike a chord.
Upon realizing that...

Cincinnati, OH

In practice footage recently, Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy didn’t make as many waves as rookie wideout Jermaine Burton or first-rounder Amarius Mims working with the first team.
But it didn’t go unnoticed by fans that Murphy looks much bigger as he heads into his sophomore season.
The former first-round pick says he’s undergone the transition from getting combine-ready to actually playing-ready.
“There’s a difference between combine condition and football condition,” Murphy said, according to Bengals radio announcer Dan Hoard. “I was in great combine condition last year, but not in good football condition. Now I’m in really good football condition.”
This transformation...

Alabama State

Tuscaloosa, AL

The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball coaching staff recently offered 2025 power forward Niko Bundalo. Bundalo plays for Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio. He is listed at 6-foot-11 and 195 pounds.
He is ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the state of Ohio. Thus far, Bundalo has fielded offers from programs like Cincinnati, Iowa Hawkeyes, Michigan State Spartans, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
If Bundalo were to commit to the Crimson Tide, he would likely replace Alabama power forward Grant Nelson. Following the conclusion of the 2024-2025 season, Nelson will lose his college eligibility. This means he has to turn pro. Bundalo would be a viable option for Alabama to pursue following Nelson’s departure.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced a little dog named Howie who they describe as the “cutest pup on four paws" clarifying that “okay they might all be cute, but Howie is extra special." Despite being returned to the shelter twice, the shelter staff attest that Howie brings an extra special charm to anyone he meets.

Philadelphia, PA

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers spent three seasons leading Philadelphia from 2020-2023. He compiled a 154-82 record during that time and led the Sixers to their first No. 1 seed in 20 years in the 2020-21 season.
However, the Sixers could never get past the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Philadelphia was eliminated in the East semifinals in all three of his seasons, and he was dismissed after the 2022-23 season.
Former Sixers guard JJ Redick, who played for Rivers while with the Los Angeles Clippers, called out Rivers for his tendency to make excuses and when things aren’t going...

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.
