Dodgers wins epic Game 7 in Toronto

      November 2, 2025 /

      What a wild game!

      In a Game 7 for the ages, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Toronto, securing their ninth championship and becoming the first team to repeat since the 2000 Yankees.

      Trailing 4-3 entering the ninth, the Dodgers mounted a stunning comeback, tying the game on Miguel Rojas’s improbable solo home run off closer Jeff Hoffman with two outs—a blast that barely cleared the wall and forced extras. The Jays, who had dominated much of the series with strong pitching from veterans like 41-year-old Max Scherzer (clutch in relief) and rookie phenom Cade Yesavage, couldn’t close the door despite leading for most of the night.

      The Blue Jays had so many chances to win this game, but it slipped through their hands.

      This seven-game epic, featuring an 18-inning Game 3 marathon, cemented the 2025 World Series as an instant classic.

      Miami trips up against SMU

      November 2, 2025 /

      So Josh Pate will get roasted for this. Several weeks ago on hos podcast, he chirped about how Miami was “different” this year, even looking more impressive than Ohio State.

      Well with Miami losing to SMU for their second loss of the season, Pate looks foolish as the Canes are now on the bubble for even making the playoff.

      Miami hadn’t played a game outside the state of Florida, and they wilted with this road test at SMU. Many like Kirk Herbstreit called this game out as an upset special, and Miami obliged.

      Miami has looked very impressive at times this season, but we’ve seen Mario Cristobal teams wilt before, and Mario if often part of the problem. Talent only gets you so far. Also, Carson Beck started throwing interceptions, and that hurt them again today.

      Brian Kelly fired by LSU

      October 27, 2025 /

      Brian Kelly never seemed like a good fit at LSU, even before he made that creepy recruiting video. Kelly is a good coach, but everything always seemed to be about Brian Kelly and finding his next job. He wouldn’t hesitate to leave a program, even Notre Dame.

      With jobs open at Florida and Penn State as well, along with many other programs, this should be an intersting offseason. Plenty of coaches are going to leverage this to get raises at their current jobs . . . see Curt Cignetti at Indiana.

      #3 Ohio State defeats #1 Texas and Arch Manning

      September 2, 2025 /

      All this hype leading into this game was around Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns, but the defending national champions had something to say about that when it was all said and done.

      No. 3 Ohio State took down No. 1 Texas 14-7 in a defensive slugfest at the Horseshoe on a gorgeous day on Saturday. This game had it all: a hyped-up quarterback debut, a suffocating Buckeye defense, and a send-off for an ESPN legend. It also had some obnoxious predictions from SEC homers like Paul Finebaum, who made the ridiculous statement that “the game wouldn’t be close” as he predicted a Texas win.

      Now this wasn’t just any season opener—it was a rematch of last year’s College Football Playoff semifinal, where Ohio State beat Texas 28-14 in the Cotton Bowl. Texas came into Columbus as the AP preseason No. 1, with all eyes on redshirt sophomore Arch Manning, making his first start as the Longhorns’ QB1. The hype around Manning was unreal—Heisman buzz, Warby Parker commercials, you name it. Meanwhile, Ohio State, fresh off a national title, rolled in with new quarterback Julian Sayin and a defense ready to prove it’s still the best in the country.
