Fewer than three weeks before North Carolina field hockey’s season opener, Erin Matson looks out from her perch inside the facilities at Karen Shelton Stadium and onto the field. It’s not quite 9 a.m., and players are already warming up—and Matson is caught in wonder.
“I can’t believe how lucky I am to do this,” Matson says. “It hits you. I can’t believe this is my job. This is what I get to do. My boyfriend and I will be on FaceTime and I’ll say, ‘I can’t believe I’m the head coach of UNC.

The head of Spain’s soccer federation was shockingly defiant on Friday amidst calls for his resignation
On Sunday, Spain won the Women’s World Cup. However, the days since their triumph have not focused on their excellence on the pitch, but rather on disgusting behavior off it.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is serving a self-imposed three-game suspension to begin the season following an NCAA investigation into recruiting violations that took place during COVID.
In the midst of the self-imposed suspension, Harbaugh and the Michigan football program announced the coaching roles for the first three games of the year with Harbaugh out. Included in the release as an assistant head coach? Harbaugh’s father, 84-year-old Jack Harbaugh, who was an assistant at Michigan in the 1980s and also served as the head coach for Western Michigan, and later, Western Kentucky.
Deion Sanders’s tenure at Colorado has been unconventional. For instance, among the many subplots to his short time in Boulder, the most serious has been his health. It’s why he gave an exclusive interview to Sports Illustrated through a partnership with California Almonds because “I want them to catch me looking good from every angle.” It’s not every day a trade group for a tree nut calls a reporter to set up an interview, but it’s not every day someone with the notoriety of Sanders coaches college football.
The big guy isn’t playing around.
In a new interview with the New York Times, Giannis Antetokounmpo made it quite clear to the Milwaukee Bucks – and everyone else – that they need to prove their commitment to winning, or he’s out.
“I would not be the best version of myself if I don’t know that everybody’s on the same page, everybody’s going for a championship, everybody’s going to sacrifice time away from their family like I do. And if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing,” the forward said.
No team has won three-straight college football national titles since Minnesota in the 1930s, but Brock Bowers and the Bulldogs have a good chance to get it done in 2023.
Luis Rubiales refused to resign as president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) on Friday, and said he will “fight to the end.
More of the Projected Top 100: Nos. 100-81 | Nos. 80-61 | Nos. 60-41 | Nos. 40-21
The NFL’s top 100 players. Not a new concept. We’ve seen the lists and how they change annually based on the ensuing performances.
But here at The MMQB, we have added a new spin. Throughout the week, we have forecasted how the top 100 will look after the 2023 season. Which players will rise and become stars, or grow into superstardom? Which players will begin declining either because of age or because of their situation?
We have unveiled a majority of the list so far, and Nos.
Thank whatever deity you pray to that a summer of realignment and NCAA legislation and every coach complaining about transfer portal tampering is mercifully over. Football is finally back, if only in the Week 0 variety to whet the palette. College football doesn’t have a preseason, but unless you’re a Ravens fan the last few years, the NFL’s preseason games aren’t worth watching. So while many teams are playing a schedule that may seem of preseason quality (looking at you USC [vs. San Jose State] and Vanderbilt [vs. Hawaii]) at least Notre Dame’s playing somebody.
