Lee Corso's final 'College GameDay' show will be Aug. 30 at Ohio State
Associated Press
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Lee Corso's final headgear pick on 'College GameDay' will be on the campus where it all started.
ESPN's iconic show will begin its 39th season at Ohio State before the defending national champion Buckeyes host the Texas Longhorns on Aug. 30.
Corso, who turns 90 in August, announced earlier this year that his final show would be on the opening week of the season.
Corso began his popular headgear segment on Oct. 5, 1996, before Ohio State faced Penn State. Since then, he has gone 286-144 in 430 selections wearing everything from helmets and mascot heads to dressing up as the Fighting Irish leprechaun from Notre Dame, the Stanford tree and historic figures James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. He has worn 69 different school's mascot headgear.
Corso — the lone remaining member of GameDay's original cast — has selected and worn Brutus Buckeye's headgear a record 45 times. Alabama is next with 38.
This will be the 26th appearance by 'College GameDay' in Columbus. The Buckeyes have a 19-6 record in those games.

Mexico's president calls for no ICE raids during Mexico-Dominican Republic soccer match
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged U.S. officials on Friday not to target individuals attending a Gold Cup soccer match in Los Angeles between the Mexican national team and the Dominican Republic. Dozens of workers have been detained by federal immigration authorities in a series of raids in LA's fashion district and at Home Depot parking lots in Southern California. More than 100 people have been detained. 'We don't believe that there will be any raids if there's a soccer game,' Sheinbaum said in a news conference. 'We hope there won't be any. We call for no action from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.' Mexico is scheduled to play the Dominican Republic on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in a group stage match of the Gold Cup. Usually, the Mexican national team matches attract thousands of fans whenever they play in Southern California. Their last match there was in March, when more than 50,000 fans attended a League of Nations semifinal against Canada. In the most recent measure in the administration's immigration crackdown, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines to the Los Angeles area after the raids sparked days of tumultuous protests throughout the city. The city's downtown has seen a variety of protests, from quiet to boisterous. Over the weekend, protesters blocked a key freeway and set cars on fire. For safety concerns, the Mexican national team decided to change hotels earlier in the week and moved from downtown to Long Beach. Sheinbaum also said that the Mexican consulates in the United States have implemented an information campaign guide for Mexicans in the event of unjust detention by immigration authorities. 'This campaign we are carrying out through the consulates will provide all the information on what to do if detained, as well as ongoing contact with families,' the Sheinbaum said. ___ AP soccer:

Angels promote top prospect Christian Moore for series at Baltimore
Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels promoted their top prospect, second baseman Christian Moore, ahead of Friday's game in Baltimore. He hit ninth and played second base in his debut for the Angels. Moore was the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Tennessee. Moore began his season with Double-A Rocket City and was promoted last month to Triple-A Salt Lake. He hit five homers with 32 RBIs overall in the minor leagues this season. Moore is already the fifth player from last year's draft to reach the major leaguers. He joined such standouts as Kansas City's Jac Caglianone. Moore hit .302 with 11 homers and 52 RBIs in 79 career minor-league games. He hit a Tennessee-record 34 homers last season and holds the program record with 61. The 22-year-old Moore is a Brooklyn, New York, naive and helped lead the Vols to the College World Series championship last season. ___ AP MLB: recommended in this topic

(AP Photo/Sara Nevis) Athletics starting pitcher Gunnar Hoglund (53) throws to a Toronto Blue Jays batter in the first inning of a baseball game in Toronto, Saturday, May 31, 2025. (Jon Blacker/The Canadian Press via AP) Athletics right-hander Gunnar Hoglund had season-ending hip surgery on Friday after he made his big league debut last month. Hoglund, 25, experienced a setback while he was on the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement. The operation was performed by Dr. Marc Phillipon in Colorado, and the A's said the pitcher is expected to recover in time for spring training. Advertisement Hoglund was selected by Toronto with the No. 19 pick in the 2021 amateur draft. He was projected as a potential top-10 pick before having Tommy John surgery leading up to the draft. He was shipped off to the A's when the Blue Jays acquired All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman in March 2022. Hoglund made his major league debut when he pitched six sparkling innings in a 6-1 win at Miami on May 2. He went 1-3 with a 6.40 ERA in six starts with the A's this year. ___ AP MLB:
