We’re officially hitting the home stretch of the college season starting this weekend. After games Saturday, there are just three weeks left in the season for FCS teams and four weeks left for Boston College, UConn and UMass. BC, Holy Cross and Sacred Heart are on bye weeks as we roll into November, but there’s some massive playoff implications on the line in games across New England. Two teams from……
Entering 2024, Harvard didn’t feel like the Ivy League champs despite clinching a share of the title in 2023. Losses to Yale and Princeton created a three-way tie with the Bulldogs and Dartmouth for the prestigious championship. This season, the reality of another split championship is becoming more real by the week, but in order for the Crimson to have a piece of the pie this time around, Harvard will…
If you haven’t been paying attention to the Dartmouth football story over the last two years, you’re missing out. Last season, Sammy McCorkle took over the program in a nearly impossible situation following the tragic passing of longtime head coach Buddy Teevens. Replacing a legend is always hard, but under these circumstances, it would have been perfectly understandable if the Big Green sort of just ‘got by’ in 2023. Instead,…

This wasn’t an ordinary sit down or meet-and-greet, it was faith-based discussion conducted by the Christian life group ‘BC Athletics In Action.’ Hunter and Parker have often been very open about their faith on…
Image courtesy of the New England Patriots As if winning a milestone game as a high school head coach isn’t special enough, being recognized by the Patriots days later is a cool way to cap things off. Last Friday, Wachusett beat rival Algonquin in a bit of a shootout, 32-27. Not only did the victory move the Mountaineers 4-3 with the playoff push now in full gear, but it was…
So, now what? UMass is 2-6 with road games against Mississippi State and Georgia two of the next three weeks. Liberty and UConn also remain on the schedule, which means 2-10 is a very real, and the most-likely outcome for the 2024 Minutemen. With mere months until the program heads into the MAC, we’re still left with more questions than answers when it comes to the lack of progress with…
Eight down, four to go. The 14th-ranked URI Rams are now 7-1 (4-0 in the CAA) after a 10-point win over a growing and gritty Maine team this past weekend. With four games remaining – two at Meade Stadium and two on the road – the end of that 39-year playoff drought is coming closer and closer into focus. URI has a chance to remain alone atop the CAA with…
The Joshua Uche days are over in Foxborough. With the trade deadline about a week away, the Pats made a move on Monday afternoon as Ian Rapoport reported New England traded the pass rusher for a 2026 6th round pick from the Chiefs. Uche played 58 games in his four-plus year career with the Patriots after being selected in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Michigan. Uche assimilated well to…
There could be one hell of a party in East Hartford on Friday night. If Jim Mora’s Huskies can take care of business against Georgia State, UConn will have its sixth win and officially become bowl eligible for the second time in Mora’s three years with the program. It’ll also be Senior Appreciation Night and the final home game of the season. UConn hasn’t left home since September 21st, going…
FOXBOROUGH – For all the crap Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has been given this year, he played one of many key roles in the Patriots’ comeback win over the Jets on Sunday. The offensive line was good enough, Jacoby Brissett came in and eventually led a game-winning drive in a ‘gotta have it’ moment, Kayshon Boutte rewarded the team’s trust by going back to him in a key…
