CBS SPORTS HQ TO LAUNCH “COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREGAME”, A NEW THREE-HOUR SATURDAY MORNING STUDIO SHOW​

image_44679952241724714868491-wpjsvcqc.png



Each week of the season, COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREGAME will have fans covered with the latest news, commentary on the biggest storylines, picks and updates from a national network of analysts and on-site reporters across the country.

The new pregame show will showcase a talented roster of decorated former players, national title winners, leading voices, reporters and hosts throughout the season, including Damien Harris, Danny Kanell, Cardale Jones and Beanie Wells.

AND WE'RE LIVE. Last weekend, Cardale Jones received praise for his calm, calculated presence as an analyst on the CBS Sports Network college football desk. According to a recent press release from Paramount Press Express, it seems the former Ohio State quarterback will have even more chances to win over audiences – and so will former Buckeye running back Chris “Beanie” Wells.
.
.
.
While neither Jones nor Wells ended their college football careers among the greatest players of all time, both Buckeyes are living legends in Columbus – the former more than the latter. Jones was, of course, Ohio State’s No. 3 quarterback in 2014 but led the Buckeyes to the national title in the inaugural College Football Playoff, while Wells recorded 585 carries for 3,382 yards and 30 touchdowns in 36 games, including 59 carries for 412 yards and four scores against Michigan.

Like I said, legends.

I look forward to seeing them talk ball this season!

Just sayin': Some competition for ESPN Gameday and FOX Big Noon Kickoff; however, this CBS show is not "on location" it is a studio show.

Play Game Weekly Upset Contest for 2024 (Winner is @muffler dragon)

THE BEST CONTEST ON THE INTERNET IS BACK!!!!!

Once again, this will be a simple contest to participate in. Each week I will list all of the underdogs in the Div 1-A games that I see a point-spread for at the beginning of the week. Each person may pick 1 and only 1 team each week; just post your pick in this thread.

You must pick your team before the kickoff of your game. It isn't mandatory to make a pick every week, but if you don't, you obviously can't earn any points that week.

If your team wins, you are awarded the amount of points that they were assigned in the spread; if they lose you get 0 points. So it's riskier to pick Little-Sisters-of-the-Poor +47 when they play Texas Tech, but you get a ton of points if they win, as opposed to getting only a couple of points when you pick a close game.

Once I post the point spreads inside this thread, they are locked for purposes of this contest. Only the spreads listed in this thread will be used to award points.

The entire season-long contest will exist in this one thread. Each week I will post the points for that week and the season-to-date totals. Whoever has the most points after the Conference Championship Games in December will be declared the winner, and will receive ¤25,000 Sportsbook "cash".

There will be a separate contest in December for Bowl game upsets.

2005 winner: @AkronBuckeye (64 points)

'Pitbull Stadium' comes to Miami as recording sensation, FIU agree to wide-ranging five-year, $6 million deal

The international recording artist will pay $1.2 million per year to FIU for the stadium naming rights​

pitbull.jpg


FIU has reached an agreement with recording artist Pitbull for naming rights to its football stadium in Miami. Pitbull will pay the university $1.2 million per year over the next five years as the venue will be called "Pitbull Stadium." He will also have an option to renew the agreement for an additional five years.

This is believed to be the first naming rights agreement of its kind between a musician and a football stadium. Pitbull is often associated with the city of Miami -- going as far as nicknaming himself "Mr. 305" in reference to the Miami area code -- which makes a partnership between him and the only FBS team to play in Miami city limits a logical one.

FIU has been searching for relevance in the highly competitive market since adopting an FBS football program in 2005. In 20 years, the Panthers have only four seasons where they finished above .500. However, coach Mike MacIntyre has been creative in finding ways to bring any level of excitement to the program. Last season, the Panthers released universally beloved "Miami Vice" inspired uniforms, which they donned in their game against UTEP. The program is 8-16 in two seasons under MacIntyre.

As part of the deal, Pitbull will create an anthem for FIU athletics, post on social media about FIU 12 times per year and appear at one fundraising event. In return, Pitbull will get fee-free use of the stadium for 10 days per year with a number of tickets put aside for FIU students. He also gets the right to designate a performer at halftime or postgame of a home game if he wishes.

OK, is it a good deal or bad deal?

Ohio State adding Kansas State transfer guard Ques Glover to bolster backcourt depth

After losing Taison Chatman to a season-ending knee injury, Ohio State is adding veteran guard Ques Glover for the 2024-25 season.

Glover, who played 99 games in four seasons split between Florida and Samford (with a brief stop at BYU), joins the Buckeyes after a year spent at Kansas State, where he missed the entire 2023-24 season with a knee injury. A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Glover averaged a career-high 19.2 points per game in his first year at Samford, where he was a first-team all-Southern Conference pick and a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, given out annually to the nation’s top mid-major player.

This will be Glover’s sixth year of college basketball. After playing four seasons, Glover was eligible for a medical redshirt last season, allowing him to now use the extra year of eligibility afforded to everyone who participated in the 2020-21 season to play for the Buckeyes.

A member of the 2019 recruiting class, Glover was a three-star prospect rated No. 366 nationally according to the 247Sports.com composite. He’s listed as a 6-0, 185-pound guard on Kansas State’s roster.

Glover is expected to give first-year coach Jake Diebler another experienced option in the backcourt. Third-year guard Bruce Thornton and fifth-year South Carolina transfer Meechie Johnson Jr. will assume the bulk of the minutes with freshman John “Juni” Mobley Jr. and Oakland and San Diego State transfer Micah Parrish expected to also play key roles.

Chatman’s injury, though, created a need for another roster addition. Although lightly used as a freshman, Chatman had seen more playing time with Diebler in place of Chris Holtmann and was poised for a more significant role as a sophomore before suffering a torn ACL early in summer workouts.

Former Kansas State Guard Ques Glover Commits to Ohio State, Replenishes Team's Backcourt Depth​

147820_h.jpg


Ohio State has replenished its backcourt depth with a late transfer addition.

Former Kansas State, Samford and Florida guard Ques Glover committed to the Buckeyes out of the transfer portal and will spend his final year of collegiate basketball playing for Jake Diebler in Columbus.

Glover updated his Instagram account on Monday to reflect that he is now a Buckeye, and an Ohio State spokesperson confirmed that Glover had joined the team.


Glover will not be one of Ohio State’s 13 scholarship players this season. However, he will receive NIL compensation that covers his costs for attending the university.

Njegovan, on the other hand, will arrive at Ohio State with four years of eligibility remaining. He’ll turn 20 on Sept. 18. Hailing from Zadar, Croatia, he’s played the last three seasons in the ABA and Croatian Premier Leagues, including for KK Bosco in the Favbet Premier League, otherwise known as the top level of Croatian professional basketball.

In 20 games with KK Bosco during the 2023-24 season, Njegovan averaged 8.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per contest.

This summer, Njegovan took part in the U20 European Championships for the Croatian National Team. He averaged 6.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per outing. That seven-game stretch culminated in an impressive performance against Bulgaria on July 21, during which he piled up 15 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.

Njegovan will compete for playing time in the frontcourt this season at Ohio State with Kentucky transfer Aaron Bradshaw, Duke transfer Sean Stewart and returning sophomore Austin Parks. Now the Buckeyes have three pure centers in Bradshaw, Parks and Njegovan.
