The Cowboys were without a couple of key players for much of last season, but they are looking to make an impact in 2024. On Wednesday, the College Sports Communicators, along with the AP and Fiesta Bowl Organization, released a watch list for Comeback Player of the Year. Oklahoma State had two of the 89 players on the list, with wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling and linebacker Justin Wright. Including the Cowboys’ selections, 11 players from the Big 12 made the watch list, with quarterbacks Cam Rising (Utah) and Jalon Daniels (Kansas) among the top names.

On Tuesday, the watch list for the Doak Walker Award was released, and Ollie Gordon made his expected appearance. While Gordon will enter the season as a favorite to win the award, matching his elite sophomore campaign will be a tough task. Last season, Gordon surged throughout the final few weeks of the season to run away with the Doak Walker Award. After spending the first three weeks in a battle for the starting job, Gordon burst onto the scene in OSU’s first conference game and had at least 100 yards in nine of the final 11 contests. Is…
Simone Biles credited her return to the Olympics this year primarily to being “in a really good spot mentally.” She described her devotion to weekly therapy as “kinda religious.” Her athletic performances at the Paris Olympics this month were thrilling, earning her three gold medals and one silver medal. But what I really admire is her commitment to keeping her mental health in the limelight right alongside her gymnastics accomplishments. That’s something we can all do. While Biles maintains her Therapy Thursdays, I observe my Sushi Tuesdays. Tuesdays became my sacred day for self-care 17 years ago, after my husband…
No doubt about it, the Phoenix Suns managing to steal Tyus Jones will go down as one of the deals of the summer. A point guard who started all 66 games he played for the Washington Wizards last season – putting up 12 points and over seven assists each night – being signed to a minimum contract. If there was one area the organization was seriously lacking last season, it was at the point guard position. Not only has the front office worked hard to remedy this situation during the offseason, they’ve arguably gone too far in the other direction.…
Lady Vols are the best PARIS — Something was missing from the Tokyo Olympics, and Cierra Burdick noticed immediately. The 2015 Tennessee graduate, an All-American forward for the storied basketball program, couldn’t believe it. For the first time in Olympic history, there were no Lady Vols on the USA Basketball rosters at the Tokyo Games, either in traditional 5×5 or 3×3, the newest hoops event.
The debate over the hierarchy of talent within the Phoenix Suns has once again ignited a spirited discussion as we kick off our annual SunsRank evaluation. Like dropping a match on a haystack of opinions, it’s getting hot in here (but I will not take off all of my clothes, Nelly). This year, we’re once again deep-diving into the subjective exercise of ranking players based on how they measure up to the concept of “best.” It’s a challenging task that invites a rich array of perspectives, whether you lean on statistical metrics or rely on nuanced observations of their…

SAINT-DENIS, France — Before Gabby Thomas set foot on the Stade de France’s purple track, surrounded by 80,000 or so screaming spectators, her coach gave her some last-minute advice. “The only thing I needed to do was get the lead. Get the lead and then finish strong,” Thomas said, recounting Tonja Buford-Bailey’s counsel. “And I did that.”
GABBY THOMAS TAKES WOMEN’S 200-METER GOLD IN DOMINANT FASHION) ⊥ Images) ST. DENIS, France – Gabby Thomas couldn’t recall the 200 meters she ran before she became an Olympic gold medalist. “I actually blacked out for the race,” Thomas, the 27-year-old Massachusetts native, began. “…It’s the most bizarre feeling when you get into a flow and you get into that energy where nothing else matters but the finish line. As far as I was concerned, I was the only one in that race.” The race was never close. Thomas fought Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred and Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith for…
