There is no joy in Jell-O-Ville tonight.
Mighty Jell-O shot-guzzling LSU has struck out!

LSU Fans Go BONKERS At Omaha Bar After Raising Canes CEO Buys 6K Jell-O Shots To Shatter All-Time Record

LSU fans celebrate BEFORE their game against Wake Forest on Monday night that they lost, 3-2, at the College World Series.
We’re talking about the fan base, which set the record for Jell-O shots at Rocco’s Pizza in Omaha, Nebraska, Monday afternoon at 21,435 and counting at the College World Series. That flooded the record of 18,777 by national champion Ole Miss last year.

A close play at home plate in the eighth inning was the beginning of the end for LSU baseball in its loss to Wake Forest in the 2023 College World Series.

Relative to the average minor league player—even those talented enough to be first-round picks—Henry Davis’s journey from MLB draftee to the major leagues was a quick one. So it’s only fitting that, in his first career big-league game, it didn’t take him long to deliver an exciting moment in front of his new home fans.
Davis, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2021 MLB draft, ripped a double in his first career plate appearance on Monday night off of Cubs starter Drew Smyly, quickly living up to the hype that’s followed him since he was drafted nearly two years ago.

Mike Locksley took over the Maryland football program as head coach in 2019 and immediately made a splash on the recruiting trail by landing five-star wide receiver Rakin Jarrett and four-star quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa in 2020. The Terrapins then finished with the No. 19 recruiting class in 2021.
In the two years since, though, Locksley and his staff have not been able to replicate that success.
Maryland finished with the No. 38-ranked class in 2022, and the No. 33-ranked class in 2023. It is sitting at No. 71 with a lot of time left in the 2024 cycle.

A season after going 62–100, the Reds have gradually emerged as one of baseball’s best stories in 2023. Ignited by the promotion of highly touted infield prospect Elly De La Cruz, Cincinnati has won eight consecutive games to move within a half-game of the first-place Brewers in the NL Central.
Monday evening, the Reds took their feel-good 2023 to a new level.
Cincinnati reinstated first baseman Joey Votto from the 60-day injured list and inserted him into its lineup for the first time in 10 months.

Oregon State basketball assistant Tim Shelton is paying $50,000 to leave the program for another opportunity, tentatively at Colorado State. It comes as a huge surprise.

Tim’s father, the late Lonnie Shelton, is one of the best basketball players in Beavers history and went on to play a decade in the NBA.

There is a family tie to the program that Tim joined in May of 2022 and he loved every minute.

My experience was great, from the minute I got here.

Mexico’s men’s national soccer team is saying hasta la vista to head coach Diego Cocca, who was dismissed from his duties Monday.
Cocca and the rest of his coaching staff were dumped, just days after Mexico lost in a CONCACAF Nations League match against the United States, 3-0.

Thank you, Diego Cocca.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. pic.twitter.com/zYTA91F3HQ

The controversial game ended early after fans chanted “homophobic” remarks at the American players.

Matt Rhule is set to get his first taste of the Colorado rivalry during the second week of his first season at Nebraska and its coming with new life. The Buffaloes, led by Deion Sanders, are relevant for the first time in a long time.
Although you might not consider the two schools to be “rivals” based on recent history, the two schools have played 71 times since 1898. Nebraska and Colorado border each other, so not only do they duke it out on the gridiron, they’re also recruiting the same areas and the same players.

Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks found a little something extra for his final pitch of Monday’s win against the Nationals. The flamethrowing right-hander shut the door on Washington with a devastating sinker that clocked in at over 104 mph.
Not only was the 104.3 mph sinker Hicks’s fastest pitch since 2019, but the pitch’s late movement also makes things truly unfair.
Lane Thomas stood no chance against Hicks, who picked up his third save in as many days, capping off the trio of outings with what was arguably his best pitch of the season.

San Diego State informed the Mountain West last week that it intends to resign.
