PHILADELPHIA — For the second time this season, Penn State is making a cross-country trip to play a football game. The stakes couldn’t be higher for its College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup with No. 3 seed Boise State on New Year’s Eve (7:30 p.m., ESPN). After pulling off a thrillin…
HARTFORD, Conn. — It takes about two weeks, depending on the weather, to convert Fenway Park into a football stadium. The process involves removing the pitcher’s mound and the bullpen walls, installing sod over the infield dirt and certain areas in foul territory as well as the bullpens. The…
"NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix" kicks off with a two-hour pregame show before Pittsburgh hosts Kansas City. Baltimore faces Houston in the second game. Here's what to know before watching.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The typical University of Miami football fan heading to Orlando to see the Hurricanes play Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Dec. 28 will probably throw a few items in an overnight bag, get in the car, fill up the tank with gas and embark on the shortest road trip of t…
PITTSBURGH — The aluminum pole has been retrieved from the crawl space. There's a dinner planned for later tonight, everyone is invited, and it will feature an airing of grievances, feats of strength and perhaps even a Festivus miracle or two. Yes, it's that time. The first one, actually. Fe…
She signed her letter of intent Friday to play softball at Highline College in Des Moines, Washington.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — In losing Sunday’s battle with the Buffalo Bills, perhaps the best team in football, Jerod Mayo won the war. Best I can tell, he’s staying put. For 2025, and maybe beyond. To his angry fan base and incredulous pockets of the New England Patriots’ media corps, remember Ma…
Twelve local wrestlers won titles, while the Jerome boys and Twin Falls girls were the highest finishing teams in their respective divisions.
The first thing we learned from the opening round of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff is there really aren’t 12 teams good enough to compete for a national title. Indiana, SMU, Clemson and Tennessee were all sizable underdogs in their first-round road games, and all proved they weren’t up to the task of competing on the big stage. That led to four boring games in which the ...
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In the current era of college football, no one’s job is safe. With the transfer portal and NIL, players can easily jump ship, or programs can quickly add someone new, changing the trajectory of a season or the career of someone else. But after SMU’s 38-10 loss to Penn State in the first round of the College Football Playoff Saturday, SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee and ...
DALLAS — The billionaire’s bus pulled up to Beaver Stadium a little before halftime Saturday, late to a party that never really got started. Not by SMU’s football team, anyway. Bill Armstrong’s private jet carrying the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Craig James, Lance McIlhenny, a dozen or so pals, at least one sportswriter and the hopes and dreams of the Mustang faithful in the College Football ...
SEATTLE — This story was supposed to be about something else. I was planning to write about how Washington is positioned to win in an evolving era of college football. How new North Carolina coach Bill Belichick — let those last six words sink in — called UW "a template" for the program he plans to build. How coach Jedd Fisch's philosophy, to install an NFL operation on a college campus, is ...
AUSTIN, Texas — The rematch of Dodge Bowl quarterbacks went better for Quinn Ewers on Saturday than it did four years ago at the state title game, when the stakes weren’t as high only if you never went to high school. Cade Klubnik will always have JerryWorld. But the first-ever College Football Playoff game at Royal-Memorial Stadium belongs to Ewers. On a brilliant afternoon that wasn’t as ...

PHILADELPHIA — For the second time this season, Penn State is making a cross-country trip to play a football game. The stakes couldn’t be higher for its College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup with No. 3 seed Boise State on New Year’s Eve (7:30 p.m., ESPN). After pulling off a thrilling 33-30 overtime win over Southern California at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in October, the ...
HARTFORD, Conn. — It takes about two weeks, depending on the weather, to convert Fenway Park into a football stadium. The process involves removing the pitcher’s mound and the bullpen walls, installing sod over the infield dirt and certain areas in foul territory as well as the bullpens. Then the field-goal posts are installed, broadcast booths and camera angles are set up and the field is ...

But traveling for UM games is quite a bit more complicated for the team’s director of ...
PITTSBURGH — The aluminum pole has been retrieved from the crawl space. There's a dinner planned for later tonight, everyone is invited, and it will feature an airing of grievances, feats of strength and perhaps even a Festivus miracle or two. Yes, it's that time. The first one, actually. Festivus is part of our Pittsburgh sports heritage — at least it should be — so I decided to use the ...

To his angry fan base and incredulous pockets of the New England Patriots’ media corps, remember Mayo’s future doesn’t hinge on winning this season. It’s not about what you want, or what I think. It’s ...
