Texas A&M Softball is a top consensus top-three team following an undefeated week
The Texas A&M softball team went 3-0 during the week, culminating in a series victory over the Georgia Bulldogs at Jack Turner Stadium during the weekend.
Texas A&M's softball team made waves with their stellar performance this week, kicking things off with a commanding run-rule victory over Prairie View A&M. They then headed to Athens, Georgia, to face the Bulldogs in a competitive conference series. Weather concerns led to a doubleheader on Saturday, where the Aggies dominated Game 1 with an 8-0 run-rule win. In Game 2, after facing some adversity, they made a strong comeback to secure a 12-5 victory. Unfortunately, the weather and TV scheduling prevented the teams from completing the series, but A&M took home their third conference series win.
The dynamic trio of Mya Perez, Allie Enright, and KK Dement was unstoppable, contributing a staggering 10 hits, 16 RBIs, and 5 home runs over the weekend. Dement's grand slam in Game 1 was a standout moment, setting the tone for a decisive victory. The Aggies demonstrated incredible teamwork and adaptability, with players stepping up to fill the void when needed. Texas A&M continues to prove their resilience and talent, solidifying their position as a formidable team in the conference.
All major softball polls have the Aggies in the Top 5 after two mid-week run-rule victories and sweeping LMU last week.
Texas A&M will open the series against LSU on April 11 at 6:00 pm. CT. The game will be available to stream on SEC Network+.

Caitlin Clark brings back Shedeur Sanders' signature celebration
Caitlin Clark brings back Shedeur Sanders' signature celebration Shedeur Sanders' iconic "watch flex" celebration became a trademark of the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback throughout his final season. Celebrities and top athletes began using the celebration after highlight moments, such as game-winning goals in soccer or home runs in baseball. The celebration received so much acclaim that it was featured in the EA Sports College Football 25 video game. Thanks to WNBA superstar Caitlyn Clark, Sanders' celebration is back in the spotlight. Clark paid homage to the Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback before the Indiana Fever's game against the Chicago Sky. Clark has been absent from the starting lineup recently as she recovers from a left quad strain she suffered against the New York Liberty on May 24. The former Iowa star seems ready to get back on the court, with her next chance being June 10 against the Atlanta Dream. Clark and Sanders were arguably the most talked-about college athletes over the past two seasons, as both athletes wrapped up their college careers with significant hype. Clark is in her second season in the WNBA after being the No. 1 overall pick in 2024, while Sanders is entering his first year in the NFL after falling to the fifth round in the NFL draft. Sanders is competing for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland and impressed Browns' coaches with his performance during OTAs. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.

NFL legends discuss Aaron Rodgers' 'short leash' with Steelers
Even after signing with the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers remains a hot topic of debate — just ask NFL legends Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson and Shannon Sharpe. On their Nightcap podcast, Johnson explained that Rodgers was a different kind of distraction than George Pickens entirely — arguing that the four-time MVP is on a 'short leash' in Pittsburgh: Advertisement "I think [Aaron Rodgers is] not going to cause any problems because his leash is short," Johnson stated. "If you mess things up in Pittsburgh, where's your next destination?" Sharpe would hilariously add that going "home" would be Rodgers' final stop after Pittsburgh — only for Ochocinco to use that observation as part of his main argument for the Steelers QB's newfound good behavior: "You don't have the leverage you once had — where you were sought after, where you were one of the best in the league. You're still living off that past resume." The Steelers are definitely guilty of living off their past accomplishments as well — an issue Pittsburgh is hoping to solve with Rodgers in 2025, or with their QB of the future potentially in the 2026 NFL Draft.
