Down go the Irish. After an impressive win in Week One over Texas A&M on the road, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish entered Saturday ranked in the top-5 and ready to cruise to an easy win over the overmatched Northern Illinois Huskies. 
Not so fast. 
Entering the game as 28-point favorites, it looked like Notre Dame would run away with an easy win. The Irish started the game with a 13-play, 75-yard drive for a touchdown. They’d only score once more in the next three and a half quarters.
The Huskies stormed back with a 98-yard touchdown drive, capped by an 83-yard catch and run.

We’ve got one of the most bizarre plays of the young college football season and it comes courtesy of Saturday’s game between Missouri State and Ball State.
It was the Cardinals’ season opener, and they defeated the visiting Bears by a score of 42-34, leaving Missouri State still hunting for its first win of the season.
However, it’s not the outcome that had people talking, it was the completely insane play that the Bears ran on 4th-and-5 to catch the Cardinals sleeping, only for it to be called back anyway.

Aryna Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 on Saturday to win her first US Open and third major championship.

Boggs played 18 seasons in the majors with the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays.

The duo shined in Duncanville’s 34-12 win on Friday over South Oak Cliff, going on the road to hand their opponents their second straight loss to start the season.
There may not be a more electric duo in the country than five-star quarterback Keelon Russell and five-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore, who lead the way for Texas powerhouse Duncanville, currently ranked as the No. 6 high school team by MaxPreps.

NIU coach Thomas Hammock showed us why college football is so great after pulling off the biggest upset of the season.
The Northern Illinois Huskies were a 28-point underdog entering Week 2 against No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon. The Huskies had never upset a top-10 opponent in program history, but the $1.4 million payday the school got for the matchup from Notre Dame made it worth the short trip from DeKalb, Illinois to South Bend. As it turns out, the Fighting Irish got a lot more than they bargained for.

On a recent episode of “All A’s,” Oakland Athletics Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley recalled a funny moment from his first career no hitter.

This week, we learned the disturbing news that Ugandan Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei had died from injuries she had sustained after being set on fire by her boyfriend.
It’s a sickening story that underscores a serious problem with violence against women in Kenya (where the attack happened). However, there’s some good news and that is that Cheptegei will not be forgotten because the Paris mayor said that a venue in the city where the 33-year-old made her Olympic debut will be named in her honor.
“She dazzled us here in Paris. We saw her.

LINCOLN, NE- If tensions weren’t already high heading into the game between Colorado and Nebraska, the pregame warm-ups were an obvious example of the hostility to come. 
As the Nebraska student section began to file into Memorial Stadium almost three-hours before kickoff on Saturday night, there was already a palpable sensation of a tense atmosphere that was waiting the Colorado Buffaloes.

The Democratic National Committee doubled down on its misinformation messaging with a series of airplane banners on Saturday afternoon.
The DNC has made Project 2025 the key focus of its political propaganda campaign, tying it to the Trump-Vance Campaign, despite former President Donald Trump repeatedly and specifically disavowing many of its proposals. Still, given the weakness of Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate, it’s not surprising they’d resort to purposefully misleading voters.
