Notre Dame announced the launch of ‘Cheer Her Name,' celebrating women's athletics
The idea behind this is to 'celebrate all the individuals who have and continue to contribute to the remarkable success of our women's programs,' as the university announced. Athletic director Pete Bevacqua has been a busy man, as he spoke about Notre Dame's rivalry with USC and the College Football Playoff potential selection changes just yesterday.
The first event will be when the football team hosts Purdue the weekend of Sept. 19th-21st, as they've invited 'all female former student-athletes and others who have supported Notre Dame women's sports, to return to campus to be recognized and celebrated,' as stated in the release.
It's great to see the university honoring the female athletes of the past and present, another reason why so many want to be part of the Notre Dame family.

Frankie Montas sinks Mets in brutal loss to Giants with latest clunker that could jeopardize rotation spot
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets opened Sunday in first place in the NL East. You'd never know it. Not from the way they got another subpar outing from a starting pitcher, a no-show from the lineup or the boobirds that were out in full force during a 12-4 loss to the Giants at Citi Field. The Mets weren't in first by the end of the day, falling a half-game behind the Phillies after their 2-0 win over Tigers on Sunday night. It's all part of what's been a wildly inconsistent past few weeks for the Mets, who dropped three straight games around the All-Star break, rebounded with seven consecutive wins, only to then lose four straight. And after a solid win on Saturday, they still lost a series to the Giants — who raised the white flag by selling at the trade deadline and entered the series losers of six in a row — with Sunday's lopsided defeat. Frankie Montas helped throw this one away in his second consecutive clunker — and fourth poor showing in his past six starts. The right-hander gave up a season-high seven runs — all earned. CHECK OUT THE AND A day after Kodai Senga lasted just four innings, Montas failed to record an out in the fifth, as the Mets continue failing to get length out of their rotation. He struggled with his location — especially on an 0-1 four-seamer to Rafael Devers with two on and one out in the third. Devers belted it into the seats for a three-run shot on the pitch Carlos Mendoza said was in 'the nitro zone.' The manager also didn't guarantee Montas would make his next start. 'We just got done with the game,' Mendoza said of Montas' spot in the rotation. 'He's got to be better. He knows that.' Asked before the game if prospects Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean could be options to help the rotation, Mendoza said, 'I like what we have here and I like having names like that at the Triple-A level. We believe in the guys we have here. We know they're capable. They've shown it before and they will.' So far, Montas hasn't. 'I missed a couple spots,' Montas said. '[Including] the one to Devers. He put a good swing on it.' Montas also failed to get swings-and-misses, especially after the second inning. The Giants had already tied the game when Montas walked Heliot Ramos before Devers took him deep to give the Giants a 4-1 lead. It got worse in the fourth, with Montas giving up back-to-back singles with one out to put runners on the corners and then Pete Alonso was indecisive on a grounder to first before being late with his throw home. Casey Schmitt scored on the play. With two out, Ramos beat out a grounder to deep short to drive in another run for a 6-1 lead. Devers piled on with an RBI single. The offense, which put up a dozen runs — and got 10 RBIs from the top four hitters in the lineup — on Saturday, produced just a pair of runs against lefty Carson Whisenhunt in his second major league start. Francisco Lindor homered with one out in the bottom of the first, but the Mets didn't get another hit until Jeff McNeil opened the bottom of the fifth with a single. Alonso whiffed with two on to end the eighth before Ryne Stanek imploded and allowed five runs in the ninth before catcher Luis Torrens had to get the final out. Perhaps the only positive that came out of the loss was that the Mets were able to preserve their new-look bullpen, thanks to Austin Warren — just recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday — throwing four shutout innings in relief of Montas. Mark Vientos put it succinctly: 'I think we'll put this series behind us.'

Dolphins sign former Texas A&M star to bolster OL after Austin Jackson injury
NFL roster moves continue as former Texas A&M offensive lineman Germain Ifedi signs with the Miami Dolphins for his ninth season and fifth team. Ifedi, a first-round pick by the Seahawks in 2016, has since played for the Bears, Falcons, Lions, and Browns. Known for his versatility along the offensive line, he's logged over 80 career starts and provides dependable depth in both guard and tackle positions. His durability and veteran experience make him a valuable midseason addition, especially for teams seeking protection stability and injury insurance. Miami, looking to reinforce its front around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, gains an adaptable lineman capable of contributing immediately. Ifedi's return to the AFC signals confidence in his continued impact and conditioning. For the Texas native and former Aggie, it's another opportunity to extend a steady and well-traveled NFL career that shows no signs of slowing down.

Jimmy Horn Jr. turning heads at Panthers training camp with his speed and toughness
Colorado football currently has four receivers on NFL training camp rosters who were on the team last season. Other than the Jaguars' Travis Hunter, the standout has been Carolina Panthers rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. Horn was a sixth-round pick by the Panthers in the 2025 NFL draft, but after a fantastic offseason, he is looking like a steal of the draft. With his speed and toughness, Horn is everything a team would want out of a sixth-round receiver. In a recent mock scrimmage at Bank of America Stadium, Horn impressed once again, scoring the first touchdown for the second team offense. Horn was in motion before the snap and then snuck underneath, and quarterback Andy Dalton found him for an easy walk into the endzone. While it was not a typical go-ball that the speedy Horn should see plenty of this season, it was a play that Colorado ran a ton with Horn. Get him the ball in space and let his open-field ability do the rest. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has loved what he has seen from the rookie receiver so far. "I think it's the energy he plays with," said Canales to "He doesn't quit on routes, he continues after the normal part of the protection he can count on, he continues to find space and play fast, and, it's a credit to his fitness, but it's also a credit to just the energy that he puts out there, that you want to throw to him." While sixth-round picks are far from guaranteed to make the final 53-man roster, Horn's performances through the offseason have made it almost a forgone conclusion that he makes Carolina's final group. The Panthers and Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns, will have joint practices this week before each team's first preseason game on Friday, Aug. 8. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
