Every young sports fan’s childhood is making a comeback with the resurgence of the NCAA video games. Last year it was NCAA football and this week EA announced the return of NCAA basketball, with the reaction amongst college sports fans high.
I always like to do a little something different on this special week due to the celebration of the birth of our country. Happy 249th America! I love the fourth of July and everything for which it stands. Besides, we’re all pretty much mailing it in at work this week anyway. Am I right? There have been some pretty incredible sporting events on July 4th. Here are some of the most memorable moments to me.
Wednesday was not only a big day for Cederian Morgan, but for the community as well.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Auburn Tigers on the recruiting trail with a number of high-profile players either de-committing from the Tigers or publicly choosing another school over Auburn. I’m usually the last person to be concerned about recruiting at this time of year considering signing day isn’t until December, but enough red flags in a short amount of time even gets my attention.
The summer provides us all with an opportunity to take a step back. And through the lens of the sports editor, it gives me a chance to enjoy my evenings from time to time instead of bouncing to different games.
It’s time again to reevaluate the coaching hierarchy in the Southeastern conference. Some coaches have deservedly moved up and some have even more deservedly moved down the list. In somewhat of a rarity, all sixteen skippers are back in 2025. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that won’t be the c…
Unfortunately, the Auburn baseball season came to an end over the weekend after two losses to Coastal Carolina at a sold-out Plainsman Park. The Chanticleer’s outstanding pitching staff held the Tigers’ powerful offense in check and the Carolina hitters took advantage of more opportunities t…
It feels like almost a new wrinkle is thrown into the realm of college sports daily. This week it was the multi-billion dollar settlement in the House vs. NCAA case.
Just because it's the summer does not mean teams aren't in the full swing of things.
The Auburn Tigers played the most difficult schedule in all of college baseball in 2025. That’s not my opinion. It’s the well-established evaluation of impartial experts across the country.
As the Philadelphia Eagles bask in the glory of their second-ever Super Bowl victory, the conversation around the team does not surround how great they played all year. It’s all about one specific play, arguably that has taken the NFL by storm — the Tush Push.
I certainly hope everyone had a very enjoyable and restful extended weekend culminating with Memorial Day. It’s a wonderful holiday kicking off summertime and all the joys of that time of year. However, it’s also one of the most serious national holidays that we observe. It is specifically d…
After going to more signing days than I can count, they’ve slowly started to become some of my favorite moments with this job.
I made the case last week that naming Jackson Arnold the starting QB was the right decision. There are lots of compelling reasons to believe he will be successful and I illustrated those in-depth.
Auburn has gone into spring practice with a quarterback competition more often than not over the last 25 years and 2025 was no exception. Nothing was made official by any of the coaches immediately following the final practice and most believed a decision wouldn’t be reached until fall.
As Friday’s slate of spring football games looms, it marks the end of the AHSAA calendar year — and my first inaugural season as the sports editor here at Tallapoosa Publishers Inc..
There is such a thing as winning with class. This past Wednesday, I witnessed the opposite.
The softball team at Auburn University was created in 1997 under the leadership of Tina Deese and she nurtured it for 17 seasons establishing a consistent and solid program. They made their first NCAA Regional in 2002 and would go on to make the Tournament nine times in twelve years.
A new wrinkle has been a growing cause of conversation amongst higher-ups in AHSAA, that being high school student-athletes being allowed to profit off of name, image and likeness.
As incredible as it might seem, we are now already four months into the year 2025.
This was the first year where I was unable to watch the NFL Draft in the comfort of my home, but that does not mean I was not monitoring. Some moves I viewed as slam dunks while others left me with questions. I figured I could use this column to pick out some of the most notable moves.
Hugh Freeze wrapped up his third spring practice on the Plains earlier this month and this Tiger team barely resembles the one he inherited from Bryan Harsin in 2023. It is far more talented at almost every skill position and has more depth across the board.
The ongoing saga of former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is probably not the first of its kind, but it most certainly is the first in the public eye.
Despite not being able to use decoys for the first 10 days of the season, Alabama turkey hunters continue to take far more birds during the first week of the season than any other week.
The Auburn Tigers wrapped up spring practice over the weekend with a not-so traditional A-Day in front of somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 dedicated fans.
I was desperately hoping Auburn could bring home the national championship from San Antonio last week, but it was not to be.
I’ve seen my fair share of mixed reactions to this year's NCAA Tournament.
