| | | | | UCF has absolutely no chance against No. 6 Oklahoma, which is why they should play to win. Imagine if every team/coach sat their best players in advance and accepted a pre-emptive L? App State upsetting Michigan would've never happened ... The Bucs' run game is brutal. Luckily for them they're in the NFC South which has morphed into Division II football. ... Unfortunately for my hometown Saints, they'll be facing a defense that specializes in takeaways in Jacksonville. Average NFL defenses leave out milk and cookies for Derek Carr because he gives it away like Santa Claus. ... A lead assistant coach leaving the NBA for the WNBA? If Magic coach Jamahl Mosley gets ejected or misses a game because of illness or a personal matter, Nate Tibbetts would've taken his place. Lead assistants are candidates for NBA head coaching jobs. NBA assistants who take WNBA jobs like Bill Laimbeer and Michael Cooper are buried as back-of-the-bench coaches. So the Mercury 's new ownership must've ponied up a lot of 💰 to make this happen. The difference in coaching salaries is significant. | | | | The Magic dropped their first game of the preseason at Amway Center on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Third-year forward Franz Wagner led the way with 19 points in 19 minutes. | | | | | UCF fans are obviously and rightfully disappointed about their team's performance thus far, but a victory over No. 6 Oklahoma would erase all of the bungles and blunders of a season gone awry. | | | | | Among girls volleyball winners on Tuesday were DeLand, Kissimmee Osceola, Bishop Moore, Lake Minneola, Oviedo and Horizon, while Dr. Phillips had a boys golf win. Plus Lake Mary Prep notched a girls golf win. | | | | | It's been a tough month for the Knights, who dropped three straight games for the first time since 2015. The 0-3 start in the Big 12 included an epic 29-point collapse against Baylor and a humiliating blowout at Kansas. | | | | | Brandon Hagel came to the rescue, tapping in a tying goal with seven seconds left to force overtime, salvaging a point out of a stretch that has seemingly exposed all of the Lightning's flaws at once. | | | | | Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. spoke highly of Nate Tibbetts during shootaround Tuesday before a 104-92 loss to New Orleans. | | | | | The Jaguars, who have nine takeaways during their three-game winning streak, hope to keep it going at New Orleans on Thursday night. And with quarterback Trevor Lawrence nursing a sprained left knee, the defense might need to do more against the Saints. | | | | | New quarterback. New coordinator. New system. New line. Same offense. Defies the imagination, doesn't it? Like a shell game that never ends. | | | | | T.J. Moore and Javon Ross are more than capable of playing at the FBS level. They've produced in each of their football seasons at DeLand High, getting better and better each year. | | | | | With Elijah Arroyo returning from his ACL tear, the Hurricanes are looking to target their tight ends more frequently in the passing game. | | | | | First base coach Chris Prieto and assistant hitting coach Dan DeMent had been on the staff for two years. The Rays are likely to consider internal and external candidates to fill his position. | | | |
