Texas A&M softball picks up top ten series win after defeating No. 6 LSU 9-7
No. 3 Texas A&M (36-5, 10-3 SEC) secures a Top 10 SEC series win, beating No. 6 LSU (35-7, 8-6 SEC) 9-7 in Game 2 at Davis Diamond.
After being swept by LSU on the road last year, the Aggies are just one game away from returning the favor, showcasing their growth and determination this season. In Game 2, the Aggies capitalized on LSU's pitching struggles, with six walks issued in the first inning alone. This patience at the plate allowed Texas A&M to score seven runs on just two hits, setting the tone early.
Despite a controversial pitching change by head coach Trisha Ford, which saw Sydney Lessentine replaced by Grace Sparks, the Aggies managed to hold off LSU's rally. Sparks faced challenges, giving up three runs in just three batters, but the Aggies' offense responded with clutch runs to maintain their lead. Aggie ace Emiley Kennedy stepped up in the final innings, delivering three scoreless frames to secure her 14th win. Kennedy's performance was instrumental in staving off LSU's momentum and closing the game with a 9-7 victory.
With this win, Texas A&M strengthens its case for a top seed in the SEC tournament and positions itself as a strong contender to host a Super Regional. The Aggies' consistent performance and resilience make them one of the hottest teams in college softball right now.
Texas A&M will face LSU in Game 3 on April 13 at 1:00 pm. CT. The game will be available to stream on SEC Network+.

Steelers welcome legendary band Linkin Park to practice
The Pittsburgh Steelers had some special guests at practice on Tuesday — none other than the legendary band Linkin Park. One of the greatest rock bands of their generation, Linkin Park had a front-row seat to intense action at practice — with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Brian Batko reporting that Aaron Rodgers played a role in their attendance. Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, David Farrell, Colin Brittain, Alex Feder, and Emily Armstrong — the new co-vocalist following the late-great Chester Bennington's passing in 2017 — had a show later that night at the Pittsburgh Penguins' PPG Paints Arena, part of their From Zero World Tour. Their next stop is Nashville, Tennessee, at the Bridgestone Arena on August 21, but the Steelers won't forget the surprise appearance of the iconic Linkin Park. The Pittsburgh Steelers will need to shake off the starstruck nerves in a hurry, as they travel to take on the Carolina Panthers in their preseason finale on Thursday, August 21, at 7:00 PM EST — which you can learn more about here.

Big Ten pitches College Football Playoff ideas that torch its credibility
The conference that once held itself aloft as a beacon of all things good and honorable about college athletics is now considering making a mockery of the College Football Playoff. The Big Ten, led commissioner Tony Petitti, has jumped the shark. Instead of capitalizing on the momentum of back-to-back national championships, the Big Ten spent the offseason concocting absurd College Football Playoff plans, with its latest idea even zanier than the last. Petitti just will not rest until he gets every 8-4 Big Ten team into the playoff. His latest playoff idea, according to multiple reports, would expand the playoff to as many as 28 teams and include as many as seven automatic bids apiece for the Big Ten and SEC, with additional automatic bids for other leagues. We've now zoomed past 8-4 Iowa toward an even lower rung on the totem pole for playoff mediocrity. Welcome to the playoff hunt, 7-5 Rutgers! This idea doesn't count as radical. It's ridiculous. Big Ten damages credibility in offseason of bad ideas They say you are the company you keep. Well, Petitti spent the past few months keeping company with – and breathing life into – stupid ideas. He previously failed to gain support for his attempt to rig the playoff with a 16-team format that would have reserved four automatic bids for his conference and four more for the SEC. When that plan failed to gain traction, the Big Ten upped the ante by socializing this idea to shoehorn unranked teams into the playoff. Petitti's expanded playoff plans would increase television inventory, but at what cost? Growing the playoff to 28 teams would cheapen the regular season. That cannot be the end game. A 28-team playoff does nothing for the Big Ten's upper crust, either. Ohio State doesn't need this. Neither does Michigan, not when it can cheat its way to glory. Oregon couldn't win one playoff game, so now the solution is to shove the Big Ten's champion into a 28-team maze? When Petitti arrived on the college sports scene in 2023, he brought with him a Harvard law degree and a background as a television executive. He began his tenure overseeing the additions of Oregon and Washington to solidify the Big Ten's western flank. A fine start. Since then, he's moved to the back of the class and tarnished his credibility while raising his hand with goofy playoff suggestions, while his SEC counterpart, Greg Sankey, retains his grip on the king's scepter. Can Big Ten and SEC find a compromise to expand playoff? Let's assume there's something behind this latest plan for playoff gluttony other than a desire to make the Big Ten a magnet for criticism. What other motivation might the Big Ten have? Well, by floating a plan more ludicrous the last, the Big Ten might hope to reignite conversations toward a compromise. Oh, so you don't like a 28-team playoff that invites 7-5 Big Ten teams? OK, let's make a deal! Just one problem with that. Petitti remains intent on reducing the playoff selection committee's role, in favor of a preassigning a bundle of automatic bids, but the SEC doesn't seem too interested in making a deal toward playoff plans bloated with multiple automatic bids for conferences it believes are inferior. The SEC backpedaled from Petitti's past plan to rig a 16-team playoff with a stacked deck of automatic bids. The SEC's coaches turned their eye toward a 5+11 playoff model that would add four additional at-large bids to the 12-team current playoff format. The Big 12 and ACC support the 5+11 plan. The Big Ten stands in objection to the 5+11 model, in part because the ACC and SEC play one fewer conference game than the Big Ten. The Big Ten's pushback on conference scheduling is not without merit, but it lacks the power to bring the SEC and ACC to heel on its scheduling. Expanding the playoff would require the SEC and Big Ten to align behind a model. If they cannot agree on a new format, that would prolong the runway for the current model. 'The Big Ten has a different view (of what's good for playoff expansion)," Sankey said in July. "That's fine. We have a 12-team playoff. … That could stay if we can't agree." If you think Sankey's bluffing about persisting with the current model, consider he was one of the architects of the 12-team playoff. He dubbed the first year of the expanded playoff 'a success,' even though the SEC did not advance a team to the national championship game. The offseason tweak to introduce straight seeding benefits the SEC. There's no reason for the SEC to rush to abandon this format. The selection committee historically values the SEC. The more at-large bids, the better, for the SEC. Maybe, Petitti believes flooding the zone with zany ideas will spur the SEC toward a suitable compromise. There's another possibility, though. With each half-baked playoff idea, the Big Ten and its leader further diminish their credibility, and the opportunity for playoff expansion absorbs a gut punch.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jam Miller
You could certainly make an argument that few players on the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 offense are more key to the unit's success this fall than Jam Miller. Alabama's returning leading rusher, the Crimson Tide however will be without Miller to begin the 2025 season, as the running back recently suffered an injury that will likely result in missing time. Looking at the overall impact of Miller when healthy however, it's clear that the veteran running back will be a big part of Alabama's success in 2025, and should be among college football's best at the position when on the field. Here is a preview of the 2025 season for Alabama running back Jam Miller. Jam Miller player information Jam Miller career stats A senior, Miller is currently entering his fourth season of college football at Alabama, and has appeared in a total of 40 games from 2022-24. Over the past three seasons, Miller has rushed for a combined 1,092 yards and 10 scores on 219 attempts, while also hauling in 21 receptions for 227 yards and two more touchdowns. Jam Miller 2024 stats Miller's 2024 season was likely his best yet at Alabama, appearing in all 13 games for the Crimson Tide a year ago. During his junior campaign, Miller rushed for 668 yards and seven touchdowns on 145 attempts, while also hauling in 16 receptions for 155 yards and another score. Jam Miller recruiting ranking Coming out of high school, Miller was considered as the nation's No. 87 overall prospect in the 2022 class, as well as the No. 6 running back nationally, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star prospect, Miller was also ranked as the No. 15 prospect in the state of Texas where he attended Tyler Legacy High School, and committed to Alabama back in Nov. 2021 by flipping from Texas. Jam Miller 2025 season outlook While injured to start the season, Miller will be Alabama's starter and No. 1 option at running back when back to full health. Named to the preseason Doak Walker Award watch list, Miller is coming off a career-year, and even despite injury to start the season, could still eclipse those totals in 2025. An experienced player, Miller should make a significant impact in both the rushing and receiving game, and will also be running behind one of college football's top offensive lines, something that should benefit the senior. A potential 1,000-yard back option, expect a strong season from Miller once again, and for the Alabama running back to potentially receive honors at seasons end such as All-SEC.
