Penn State’s 2025 football schedule has officially been released and includes 3 2024 CFP teams The Big Ten conference has officially released its schedule for the 2025 season and for Penn State that means matchups with Oregon, Ohio State, and Indiana, after a soft schedule in 2024. With the 2024 college football regular season already in the rearview mirror and the Oregon Ducks crowned the champions of the Big Ten, the conference released its 2025 schedule on Wednesday afternoon. With the conference expanded to 18 teams, schedule releases are more important than ever because teams can get favorable, lopsided schedules…
Football season is in full swing, but the folks at ESPN are asking the “tough” questions as we gear up for the start of basketball season next month. Staff writer Jeff Borzello released his “Way-Too-Early” Top 25 rankings on Monday, which included Kentucky at No. 23. There were no adjustments from his previous update that came out in August though — instead, Borzello uses his preseason Top 25 as an excuse to ask the biggest question facing every team on his list going into the 2024-25 season. What is the potential issue facing the Wildcats? To little surprise, it has…
The New York Mets may be offseason winners so far, but they lost out on a potential key addition on Wednesday. Garrett Crochet, the former Chicago White Sox ace who was the most coveted prize on this winter’s trade market, was dealt to the Boston Red Sox for a package of four top prospects. Crochet was a name on top of the Mets’ wish list, but Boston carried the day. Under president of baseball operations David Stearns, the Mets have thus far been reticent to hand out long-term starting pitcher contracts, and that trend has held in this free-agent window.…
The Phoenix Suns are stuttering through the 2024-25 regular season, although they may be about to get a boost with the trade market heating up. Not that they will have it all their own way – not only is this a second apron team – but some players have unique quirks to their contracts that makes them a lot harder to move. That’s not to say they won’t be players at all, there are still ways they can improve this roster. But with their chances this season seeming to hang purely on the health of Kevin Durant – this stat…

Over the past week, the Oklahoma Sooners have already lost a fair number of players to the transfer portal. This has caused some mild anguish, with some promising players and veterans departing for other schools. Where some see , others see opportunity. One of those others was linebacker Jaren Kanak, who seized the opportunity to strike with a hilarious troll post about the transfer portal. Kanak, a former four-star recruit and a valued piece of Brent Venables’ first recruiting class with the Sooners, would have been another blow to a linebacking room that had already lost Dasan McCullough to…
No, the Las Vegas Raiders don’t have Colorado star quarterback Shedeur Sanders yet, but all signs continue to point to that eventually happening in the 2025 NFL Draft. Not only do the Raiders have the No. 1 overall pick entering Week 15 according to Tankathon, Sanders has strongly hinted that he’d like to be in the Silver and Black come April. With the hope that Sanders will be a Raider, FanSided’s Rucker Haringey suggested players Las Vegas should target in free agency to surround the young quarterback with help. One of the players he landed on was Minnesota Vikings running…

He also added, “Coco,…
In his first season back with LSU since Nick Saban’s tenure, Bo Davis ranks just outside the top 40 of assistant coaches in terms of pay. The Tigers’ defensive line coach made $1.25 million in 2024, putting him at No. 41 nationally. He is the second-highest-paid assistant coach on head coach Brian Kelly’s staff and is No. 16 in the SEC among assistants in the conference. Davis donned the purple and gold in the early 90s as a player, then stayed in Baton Rouge as a graduate assistant. He served as the assistant strength coach under Saban, then followed him…
