Tonight, a charity exhibition basketball game between a team I regularly cover (Wright State), and my alma mater (Ohio) at UD Arena.

Imagine someone from between 1995-2000 took a time machine to 2025, and that person has just learned: -There's a 12-team college football playoff -Indiana and Vanderbilt have a legitimate chance to make the playoff -Penn State & Virginia Tech fired their coaches in season

What do we think, #Bengals nation? Is this the win that turns the season around?

Halftime: #Bengals 17, Steelers 10. Three of the last four quarters of football, Cincinnati has shown up. #NFL

For the first time in Paul Brown/Paycor Stadium history, the home crowd cheers for a Joe Flacco passing touchdown. Chase dropped the first throw, he was determined to hold on to the second chance. #Bengals within 10-7, 4:38 to halftime

An updated list of Big Ten football coaches by active, full-time tenure length. #CollegeFootball

It's been a minute since I've covered a Big 12 game. Cincinnati hosts #14 Iowa State at noon at Nippert Stadium.

Halftime: Ohio State 7, Washington 3

Covering high school football. Good way to spend a birthday.

#Reds fall 4-3 in 11 to the Pirates, and must win tomorrow to avoid being swept in the final home series of the regular season. On the bright side, they're currently getting help from the Cubs. Plus, the Diamondbacks and Dodgers are tied in the 3rd.

#Reds have won four straight, #Guardians have won 10 straight. The odds of the Ohio Cup for the World Series aren't likely, but they're not absolute zero right now, either.

September 16, 2025: my second ever sub-80 round, playing Vintage & Heritage layouts at Yankee Trace #Golf

The last time the #Bengals started a season 2-0, Marvin Lewis was the head coach (2018). Cincinnati hosts Jacksonville at 1:00, perfect September weather

Final: Ohio 17, West Virginia 10 GO BOBCATS!!!!!! STAND UP AND CHEER!!!!!

Nothing personal, WVU followers, but GO BOBCATS!

An injury and a flag on the first play of the season. Hmmm........

BUCKEYES WIN! The defending national champions defeat #1 Texas 14-7!

10 years ago: at Virginia Tech covering season opener vs. #1, defending champion Ohio State Today: at season opener for defending champion Ohio State, hosting #1 Texas

Moments away from Week 2 of Football Friday! Our Game of the Week is from the MVL, as 1-0 Stebbins hosts 1-0 Butler!

Keegan Bradley has made his captain's picks for the #RyderCup Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns BIG call for Bradley to not pick himself.

Welcome back Friday night football! Our first Game of the Week is Coldwater at Valley View, kickoff scheduled for 7:30

Welcome back high school football! The Week 1 slate of games begins with Alter vs. Fairmont at Roush Stadium!

BREAKING: Jannik Sinner retires from the Cincinnati Open men's singles final, Carlos Alcaraz wins his first title in Mason.

First time at the Cincinnati Open, and the first match I cover is Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner. Not too shabby.

45 minutes down, #MUFC have the same issues on defense as last year. Offense has at least been proactive but can still go to another level. No question Sesko may make a difference, how long until he's brought on?

So using the NCAA logic, does this mean Ohio State's 2010 record will be reinstated? After all, there is insufficient evidence that the tattoos and memorabilia exchanged between parties changed the outcome of games....

The AP has announced an All-Time All-America football team. Three #Buckeyes on the First Team: Orlando Pace, Jim Parker, Chris Spielman. Archie Griffin is on the Second Team, but the only two-time #Heisman winner voted behind Barry Sanders and Herschel Walker. Hmm......

Manchester United finish the three-game US tour with a 2-2 draw vs. Everton, 7 points means they win the #PLSummerSeries Two weeks until the new season begins vs. Arsenal....

Reds-Braves suspended for the night, a call that could've been made two hours ago. But NASCAR venue, MLB chose to follow the NASCAR playbook. There are right ways to handle this, they didn't do that here....

Uh, MLB, just because you're at a NASCAR track tonight, doesn't mean you need to do the NASCAR tactic of delaying, delaying, delaying...... Both teams have Sunday off specifically in the event of weather....

Under 3 hours until the #mlbspeedwayclassic between the #Reds and Braves. 9 years ago, I covered the Battle at Bristol between Virginia Tech and Tennessee. What a night that was!

It's August 1st in the Eastern time zone. College and high school football returns this month!

Lionel Messi finally learning that the rules do apply to him, no special privileges. He clearly didn't learn that concept at Barcelona (and he's not the only guilty party there), but better late than never, right?

It was great to travel back to Stockholm, Sweden to visit family and see sights familiar and new! And I can now add Oslo, Norway to the list of places I've visited!

Scottie Scheffler, he's him. #TheOpenChampionship Claret Jug down, only needs U.S. Open for the career Grand Slam. Will his path be like Tiger's (win at next possible opportunity), Rory's (long wait but dream eventually realized), or Phil's (will it ever happen)?

Points from #Wimbledon: Swiatek also won the second set of her semi 6-0, she didn't lose a game her final three sets played. Talk about getting in the zone at the right time. Flip side for Anisimova, her R1 match was a 6-0, 6-0 win. Cruel that the final was a complete 180.

Joey Chestnut, still him.

Nerve-wracking final few minutes, but the #USMNT is on to another #GoldCup Final! Team USA plays Sunday night on FOX 45!

Tsk, tsk, Inter Miami....

Updated to include Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg in this category. All three either underperformed or flat out laid eggs, Columbus Crew wouldn't have done either.

On one hand, I'm not sad to see a lack of publicity about the Club World Cup. But I'm reminded of a 2010 quote that I'll paraphrase here: "LAFC needn't have bothered turning up (for the CWC.) They just filled a place that would've been taken admirably by any other team. Columbus Crew, anyone?"

First MLB inning for Chase Burns, against a division-leading team in the Yankees, and Burns strikes out the side. #Reds

Final game average for Obi Toppin in the #NBAFinals: 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 23.9 minutes played

Two months ago, I attended my first #NBA game, a #Pacers win over the Cavaliers. Tonight on ABC 22: 25 years after their first #NBAFinals appearance, 20 seasons after "Malice at the Palace," Indiana plays one game for the NBA title.

BALLGAME!!!! Wright State knocks out Vanderbilt 5-4 to advance in #NCAABaseball regionals. The #1 national seed misses out on the regional championship round. #ItJustMeansMore

TODAY: Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase hosted a ProCamp in Centerville, more than 300 participants! Hear from Chase tonight!

Lot of hype around Kylian Mbappé when he made a global impact as a teenager. Same for Lamine Yamal. Désiré Doué: "Hey now, what about me?" #UCLfinal

Here we go. My #UCLfinal prediction: PSG 1-2 Inter My fantasy XI: Sommer; Dumfries, Hakimi, Bastoni; Dembele, Barella, Ruiz, Calhanoglu; Martinez (c), Thuram, Doue

Don't think I've shared a blog post here. But the last six editions of #UCLfinal have finished 1-0 or 2-0, and most of them, frankly, have been snoozers. Let's hope tonight is more entertaining mattdigby.com/2025/05/30/a...

#MUFC started the season with three points, and end it with three points. But in between, apart from most of the Europa League matchdays, can never be tolerated. On to 2025-26....
