Perhaps one of the biggest games in March Madness history wasn’t a finals matchup. It didn’t have a last second shot. Many young people today aren’t aware of what happened in the game. Yet as you’ll see in this column, it mattered for more than just the NCAA. And the lessons from that game, …
There’s a lot of sports being played right now across the Auburn campus with some results better than others. The baseball team swept Missouri over the weekend and looks befitting of their No.5 ranking. The softball team got swept by Oklahoma…
The Auburn women’s softball program began in 1997 and was led for 17 years by head coach Tina Deese. Under her direction, the program reached the postseason nine times, but never made it past the first round.
The sports world is a hushposh of things all coexisting at once, and it did not help when the Olympics were going on. Now, I’ve been knee deep in my own job with the start of the spring sports to really give a gander at what is going on elsew…
Sonny Smith was the head coach of the Auburn basketball program from 1978 to 1989 and won 173 games during his tenure on the Plains. He also did something that not even Bruce Pearl was able to do. He led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament in f…
On Thursday, NBA insider Shams Charania reported NBA commissioner Adam Silver informed the league’s 30 general managers of plans to enact anti-tanking rule changes for next season.
Butch Thompson began his 11th season on the Plains in 2026 and is one of the most respected head coaches, not only on campus, but in the SEC. He is well-known to be especially good with pitchers and for simply being a genuinely good human.
It seems like I say this quite often across multiple programs, but the Auburn basketball team has played one of, if not the, most difficult schedules in the country.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written a smorgasbord style column, but this seems like the perfect week to wake up the echoes with such a jam packed weekend of sports. Let’s kick things off with Super Bowl LX. It was pretty much a dud, but that’s okay. I thought it was actually nice to s…
The NFL has been one of my favorite professional sports leagues since initially getting into the game of Football. I’ll admit, I was a late bloomer in comparison to some of my friends growing up. But the late start couldn’t stop me from becoming an encyclopedia on the subject in just a year'…
We are at the part of the sports calendar I might dread more than most: the near end of football. High school football is over, college football is over and all that remains for the NFL is the Super Bowl.
Basketball, like everything, has changed quite a bit over the years. In previous articles I’ve discussed the 3-point revolution and how data analytics and efficiency metrics have completely changed how basketball teams enact strategy to help …
I started an annual tradition over a decade ago of making some predictions long before the college football season begins and revisiting them after the national championship game. With Indiana claiming their first national title in program hi…
I couldn’t tell you exactly what I expected from the Alabama High School Athletics Association’s reclassification last Friday, but it definitely wasn’t that.
Whoa, two columns from me in one week; have we entered the twilight zone? Not really, I just always have so many opinions about sports, so why not double up when I get the chance?
I know we all, or maybe just me, are sick of the constant repetition of storylines from this Indiana Hoosiers’ run to a national championship victory. But the one I really think a lot of us are underestimating is the “this would make a good m…
I held off from writing about the semifinal round of the College Football Playoffs, mostly because the Indiana-Oregon game did not fit within the parameters for our deadline here at The Outlook. But, even while loosely looking at the score du…
The one thing about college football in this day and age is it’ll never cease to amaze me, and it is all too predictable at this point. As I’m sure we are all aware at this point, it’s transfer season and the college football season has not e…
Alex Golesh and his staff are in the midst of putting the football roster back together again after nearly 50 players have exited through the transfer portal, end of eligibility and declaring for the NFL draft. The portal won’t officially clo…
Well, well, well, don’t I have egg on my face. As I’m sure my loyal column readers have seen throughout this fall, I’ve shared my thoughts once or twice about the current college football season and made some predictions about what I thought …
Whether you’re a casual sports fan or a constant consumer, you should know the NBA season is in full swing. This season, it’s better than it has been for at least five years.
