Famed jazz group gives spontaneous in-flight performance amid delays
No one likes being stuck on an airplane longer than absolutely necessary, so when a famous jazz group aboard an Alaska Airlines flight was asked to help lift the spirits of their fellow severely delayed passengers with a live musical interlude, they happily busted out horns and played the unlikely venue. In a now-viral video, Dave Koz and the Summer Horns performed their rendition of Stevie Wonder's "You Haven't Done Nothing" in an impromptu concert amidst a slew of delays, diversions and timed-out staff en route from St. Louis to their next tour stop in Seattle. The moment took place in the wee hours early Tuesday morning on the tarmac after their flight was diverted to Boise, Idaho, the namesake saxophonist told "Good Morning America." That's when Koz said most people were "at their breaking point" and "this wonderful flight attendant" stepped in to see if their group would want to provide some in-flight entertainment. "Charlene was like, 'Can you guys play?'" fellow saxophonist Marcus Anderson added. "We end up getting our instruments out and everyone's excited and all these phones are coming out -- we're just thinking about giving people a great concert on an airplane." They selected a song from their show set list and played it with as many of the 16 band members who had carried on equipment, including more brass from Jeff Bradshaw on trombone, Evan Taylor on trumpet and Leo P on baritone saxophone. "All of us were involved and including our band members, even if they couldn't break out their guitars and basses, they were slapping along," Koz said. "People were clapping. It was great vibes. It was great energy," Anderson said, adding that little kids recorded the video and were already watching it back in their seats after they concluded. "We got the video content from people, and I said, 'Hey, Dave, I'm going to post it and share it.' By the time we get off the plane -- it was trailing close to maybe 200,000 views," Anderson explained of the initial explosion in social media interest. "It started skyrocketing." Collectively across Instagram and Facebook, at the of time of publication, the clip has amassed over 2 million views with thousands of comments hailing the smooth jazz legends for their "playover" performance. "We were just taking a moment trying to make lemonade with lemons, and it tasted very good," Anderson, whom Koz called "the future of the saxophone," said. "We brought the we brought the concert to all those incredible passengers, not just on stage, but on the plane as well." Koz said he's "never played on a plane" before that, whereas Anderson once performed a solo version of "America the Beautiful" on Fourth of July. Alaska Airlines did not immediately respond to request for comment. "This really taps into everybody's sort of frustration right now of traveling in the United States, where you feel so out of control, and this feeling of like you just don't know what to do," Koz explained. "We were able to sort of channel that energy and turn the vibe completely."

Oklahoma Sooners trending for former Florida State DL commit
The Oklahoma Sooners scored a big win on the recruiting trail this week, earning a commitment from 2026 five-star edge rusher Jake Kreul. Oklahoma's also earned pledges from defensive linemen Brian Harris, Daniel Norman, and Matthew Nelson. But the Sooners may not be done recruiting the defensive line. Steve Wiltfong of Rivals issued a futurecast favoring the Oklahoma Sooners for ESPN four-star defensive lineman James Carrington. On Thursday morning, Carrington decommitted from Florida State. Carrington originally committed to the Seminoles back in June. Now, it looks like the Sooners have become the favorite for the defensive lineman out of California. Carrington has 25 Power Four offers, including nine SEC offers from schools like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. The Sooners currently have the No. 21 class in the 2026 recruiting cycle after earning a commitment from Kreul. The Sooners have built a defensive line depth chart that can stand up to SEC play under Todd Bates and Miguel Chavis and the Sooners look like they're about to add another defensive line prospect.

CBS Sports puts Spartans low in 1-136 preseason rankings
The college football experts at CBS Sports are not high on the Spartans heading into next year. Would you say Navy is better than Michigan State? What about Memphis, UNLV or Texas State? The Dukes of James Madison? Those are all group of five programs ranked higher than the Spartans in CBS Sports' preseason 1-136 rankings. The poll that ranks every single team in the country has Michigan State coming in at No. 62 nationally -- which I personally consider too low for the Spartans. Among Big Ten teams, Michigan State is No. 14 out of 18 teams. That would be a very disappointing finish for the Spartans should they end the season ranked that low among their peers. Michigan State is coming off a 5-7 season last year, which was their third straight season of failing to reach a bowl game. There is, however, a lot of confidence within the program that things will go better for the Spartans this season, with making a bowl game being the minimum expectation. Michigan State will get its first chance to prove the doubters wrong this year in the season-opener against Western Michigan on August 29. Kickoff from Spartan Stadium for this matchup between the Spartans and Broncos is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
