Kylan Boswell suffered a fractured right hand during Monday's practice session, leaving the Illinois Fighting Illini without the services of one of their best players until next month. Boswell brings so much to the table, not just scoring and leadership, but also defending. Obviously, someone needs to step up to fill the void for the Illini. Enter Andrej Stojakovic. Illini … [Read more...] about Andrej Stojakovic Steps Up for Illini, in Place of Injured Kylan Boswell
Arsenal Team News, Injury List, Match Preview vs Manchester United
It may only be late January, but some pundits are already starting to crown Arsenal Premier League champions for this season.

Man City Team News vs Wolves: Oscar Bobb, Matheus Nunes, Nico Gonzalez
Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb looks likely to miss out on the visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Bobb could be a Fulham player by then, or at least in the process of becoming one, and thus held out of the league fixture.

Bobb was struggling for minutes already, … [Read more...] about Man City Team News vs Wolves: Oscar Bobb, Matheus Nunes, Nico Gonzalez
Tottenham Team News at Burnley: Lucas Bergvall, Joao Palhinha, Ben Davies
Embattled Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank cooled his seat a bit last night, by getting a nice result in the UEFA Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. However, domestically, Spurs are no better this season than they were last term, and if Frank can't get "the supertanker" (to use his metaphor) turned around soon, he'll be back on sacking watch. We've got a few … [Read more...] about Tottenham Team News at Burnley: Lucas Bergvall, Joao Palhinha, Ben Davies
Man United Team News at Arsenal: Josh Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui

Indiana Hoosiers Become First 16-0 Team 1894 Yale Bulldogs
Prior to the triumph of the #1 Indiana Hoosiers last night in Miami, only one major college football team, the 1894 Yale Bulldogs, had finished a 16-0 season. As The Simpsons supervillain, C. Montgomery Burns is Yale class of 1914, perhaps he has an awareness of that famed team that came around 20 years before he graduated. To quote Mr. Burns, on his way home from … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers Become First 16-0 Team 1894 Yale Bulldogs

To quote a minor background character in Wedding Crashers, the ultra-wealthy meathead guy, "crab cakes and football- that's what Maryland DOES!" Well, not so much this year, as both the Baltimore Ravens and the Maryland Terrapins missed the postseason. However, Maryland doesn't do basketball either, as this has been a brutally awful season for them, thus far. However, the … [Read more...] about #13 Illinois Basketball Game Preview vs Maryland Terrapins
Steps Required to Create Your Own Custom Pickleball Paddle
