Here's a preview of the 2026 season finale for Arkansas Tech University football. The ATU radio broadcast will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday on KCJC 102.3 FM and the River Country KCJC website. Fight On, Arkansas Tech! arkansastechnews.com/tech-ti…

There are always some absurd numbers when preparing to broadcast a football game involving Harding. My first look at their stats is always at rushing touchdowns scored vs. rushing touchdowns allowed. This season, those numbers are: Harding 60 rushing TDs Opponents 7 rushing TDs

Once upon a time (1996), North Alabama was poised to tie the D2 record for longest home winning streak, but an 0-4 Arkansas Tech team walked into Braly Municipal Stadium and defeated the Lions 38-35. Dare to dream, Wayne State.
Ferris State is ONE win away from history 👀 The two-time defending D-II national champions have won 39 straight games, one shy of tying the longest winning streak in Division II history. Trinidad Chambliss' former squad takes on 0-9 Wayne State on Saturday with a chance to tie the record.

If true, bad call by the PGA Tour. Even if they don't care about the history (which they should), Colonial remains a test for the best in the world. May the ghosts of Mr. Hogan and Mr. Jenkins haunt the halls of Ponte Vedra until this is rectified.

Looking forward to season number one with @fimpdog! Here's a conversation as we look ahead to the 50th season of intercollegiate @ATUWBasketball, which begins on Monday, Nov. 9. youtu.be/hhQu7SP4RQ4?si=pT0e…

This Dallas Cowboys season has been quite the study in finding extraordinarily creative ways to lose a football game.

There's a game to be played on Saturday in Bethany, but October in the GAC was a reminder that winning and losing games isn't all that important in the grand scheme of life. Here's a preview of Arkansas Tech and Southern Nazarene: arkansastechnews.com/tech-ti…

Arkadelphia is the next stop on the tour. Here's a preview of the 98th football meeting between Arkansas Tech and Henderson State as we return to the place where the Wonder Boys earned their nickname in 1920. Read more: arkansastechnews.com/tech-ti…

Zero complaints from this lifelong #Braves fan about the 2026 season. With the pitching injuries and the decline of a couple of key everyday guys, winning the division was a great achievement. Tough decisions are near, but tonight, I am grateful for this group and the good times.

(1) I don't know what to say to a #Braves fan who boos Freddie. (2) It breaks my heart, but for everyone's sake, it may be time to let Ronnie go. (3) I'm old enough to remember when there wasn't an obnoxious sound effect on every 2-strike or 3-ball count. Those were good days.

If you love sports and/or sports broadcasting, what a treat it was to listen to @notthefakeSVP and @miketirico visit. Two of the very best to ever do what they do.
Mike Tirico joined Scott Van Pelt on ESPN to talk about calling the Falcons-Saints game 20 years ago for the reopening of the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.

It sure will be nice to have Freddie back in a #Braves uniform to close out his career as a designated hitter starting in 2028. #NLDS

Find someone who loves you as much as the #SCTop10 producers love soccer...especially bicycle kicks. 😀

Postseason baseball is so weird (and in a wonderful way when your team wins). I wonder what kind of odds you could've gotten in April on Ray Kerr making the start and Chris Sale getting the final four outs in a postseason series-clinching victory. #Braves

Well, that was fun. Sale coming in to slam the door was the cherry on top. After all the injuries to the pitching staff...anything else we get this season is a bonus. Go take your best shot at the Dodgers and enjoy the ride, boys. You've earned it. #Braves

There it is. This has been coming a long time. This would drastically alter the landscape of college athletics if the guarantee games go away. A new middle would form. Good D2 programs have to be ready to meet the current FCS programs in that new middle if their budgets shrink.
From ESPN's story on the potential expansion to 24 teams for the College Football Playoff: "CFP leaders could consider a requirement to eliminate FCS opponents, so Group of 6 teams play only FBS-level teams." Lots on the table right now, this would send shockwaves everywhere.

If he did, my bad. CJ crossed me up because I thought he told Kruk to not check his mentions. Either way, I hope this stays this much fun for four more innings.

Everybody wants to talk pitching or hitting. The early stages of this game have been a reminder in how much we undervalue fielding and its influence on winning and losing. #Braves
