Spartan Stadium gets minor upgrades, updates ahead of upcoming 2025 season
Spartan Stadium has gone through a facelift this offseason, with some minimal but notable updates to the home of Michigan State football. The official Michigan State University social media account posted a few pictures of the updates being made to Spartan Stadium this offseason, with the notable items being related to the scoreboards and east side of the stadium.
In the post below, you'll see that the Spartan helmet logo has been updated on the two scoreboards on the south side of Spartan Stadium. Additionally, one notable fan account -- OdellBretthamJr -- pointed out that the east side of the stadium (the worst looking spot of the stadium) has been painted to make it look better.
Check out the pictures of the new look Spartan Stadium below:
As I mentioned off the top, these are minor updates but certainly nice touches. Especially the east side that got a new paint job.
Michigan State will open its doors to Spartan Stadium for the first time this season on August 29 in the season-opener against Western Michigan. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on FS1.

Iowa football patiently awaiting injury return of key defensive cog
Iowa football is in the midst of its second week of fall camp. On Wednesday, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz caught up with longtime Hawkeye play-by-play voice Gary Dolphin to update how camp is going. Ferentz revealed that Iowa's defensive depth up front has been tested early in camp. "Up front, Jeremiah Pittman's been out. Unfortunately he's coming off a knee repair, so he's still probably a week or two away from going, but it's given other guys an opportunity to get in there and work some. "Obviously, Aaron Graves on one side's pretty solid and then you've got guys like Will Hubert's really done a good job growing, developing. Bryce Hawthorne, young man from South Dakota State's really been impressive. Luke Gaffney. So, we'll have candidates. It's going to be interesting to see how it all develops and we'll get Jeremiah back at some point. I think at the end of the day, that group's going to be fine," Ferentz said. Pittman, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound graduate defensive lineman, was listed as one of Iowa's two starting defensive tackles to begin the spring opposite senior Aaron Graves. Pittman played in all 13 games last season, registering 17 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. The Palatine, Ill., product from St. Viator High School has notched 27 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery in his Hawkeye career thus far. Pittman has played in 26 games in his Iowa career and was a three-star signee per 247Sports in the 2021 class.

Nebraska volleyball ranked No. 1 in AVCA preseason poll
The first poll of the 2025 collegiate volleyball season has been released, and the Cornhuskers are on top. Nebraska ranks No. 1 in the country in the AVCA/TARAFLEX Division I women's volleyball preseason poll. The Huskers received 40 of the 61 first-place votes while No. 2 Penn State had the other 21 votes. Pittsburgh ranks No. 3, with Louisville No. 4 and Texas rounding out the top five. The last time the Huskers were ranked as a preseason No. 1 was in 2022. Nebraska was last ranked No. 1 in the AVCA Poll on Nov. 27, 2023. Nebraska finished 33-3 last season, ending the year in the NCAA semifinals. Now, the team is entering a new era following the retirement of John Cook, with head coach Dani Busboom Kelly at the helm. For the Big Ten this season, the Huskers rank No. 1 in the preseason rankings. Three Nebraska volleyball players were named to an award watch list late last month. Andi Jackson, Harper Murray, and Bergen Reilly were named to the AVCA Player of the Year watch list. Nebraska will begin the 2025 season on Friday, August 22, when the Huskers host No. 3 Pittsburgh at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Steelers training camp fight breaks out after massive hit on rookie RB Kaleb Johnson
Esezi Otomewo decked Kaleb Johnson on a run. Team is only in spiders and the OL especially took swung at him. Lots of jawing back and forth. Steelers tempers were high at training camp, as fists flew between the offensive and defensive lines. According to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, DT Esezi Otomewo delivered a huge hit following a run by rookie RB Kaleb Johnson during a team drill on Wednesday — despite players wearing lighter spider pads at practice. The offensive line didn't take the overaggressive behavior lying down, leading to a physical altercation over the massive hit — in which OT Troy Fautanu was spotted taking a swing at Otomewo. With the Steelers' preseason opener just around the corner and nearly 30 days until the Week 1 regular-season matchup against the Jets, it's no wonder the offensive line took exception to the hit — especially as injuries continue to pile up at training camp, including rookie QB Will Howard's preseason-ending hand fracture. Hopefully these fiery altercations result in a better game-day performance — which fans will get a first glimpse of when the Steelers face off against the Jaguars in the preseason opener on August 9 at 7:00 PM EST.
