By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, I have heard a lot of Coach Prime press conferences. Tuesday's was different. No bravado, no deflecting. Just a head coach on a five-game losing streak putting the blame squarely on himself. The facts Colorado is 2-5 and 0-4 in the Big 12 after a 57-24 loss at Oklahoma State. The Buffaloes host Kansas State on Saturday, Halloween, at Folsom Field. At his weekly news conference Tuesday, Deion Sanders took responsibility for the slide, per the Boulder Daily Camera. When asked how his coordinators were handling it, he said: " Please give me all the responsibility, please . I think our coordinators are wonderful." Asked what it would take to beat K-State, Sanders said two words, per Sports Illustrated: "Be consistent." Then he added: "That's the only thing we're consistent in, is getting penalties. And that don't make sense to me." The numbers back him up. SI reports Colorado...

By Brooke Calloway , RF Sports Radio SMU voice Pony Up, everybody. I have been through enough SMU football to know that the week everyone calls easy is the week you should worry. This is that week. The facts No. 19 SMU (6-1, 4-1 ACC) plays at Syracuse (3-4, 1-4 ACC) on Saturday at 11 a.m. Central at the JMA Wireless Dome, on ESPN2, per SMU Athletics.

Kevin Jennings threw three touchdown passes and set the program record for career passing touchdowns, per SMU's game notes. The notes also show why this team keeps winning. SMU is 18-3 in ACC play since joining in 2024, the most league wins in that span. It has 145 sacks since 202...

By Mac Rivera , RF Sports Radio Baylor voice Bears fans, the emotions of this week are real. A coach was fired, an interim was named, and a team has to fly to Orlando on a short week. But Friday night, it's just football, so let's talk about the matchup. The facts Baylor (4-3, 2-2 Big 12) plays at UCF (4-3, 2-2) on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Central at the Acrisure Bounce House, on ESPN, per Baylor's game notes. It's Joe Klanderman's first game as interim head coach after Dave Aranda was fired following the 25-24 loss at Kansas, where a potential game-winning field goal with 22 seconds left was blocked. That loss was KU's first over Baylor since 2007. The notes say Baylor is third nationally in sacks and fifth in tackles for loss per game. It ranks 19th in scoring defense, 22nd in rushing defense, 18th in red-zone defense and 24th in passing efficiency defense. Klanderman was Kansas State's defensive coordinator from 2020-25 and helped North Dakota State ...

By Danielle "Dee" Ortiz , RF Sports Radio WNBA voice Hoops fans, take a breath. We have a rare day off in the WNBA Finals, and it is the calm before what could be history. The Golden State Valkyries are one win away from a championship in just their second season. The facts Golden State leads the Atlanta Dream 3-2 after back-to-back wins in Games 4 and 5. Game 6 is Thursday, Oct. 29, at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, 11:30 a.m. Central, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, per the Valkyries and ESPN. If Atlanta wins, Game 7 is on Halloween in San Francisco. ESPN's Kareem Copeland calls turnovers the biggest predictor in this series. In their Game 2 and 3 losses, the Valkyries averaged 18 turnovers that led to 23 Atlanta points. In Games 4 and 5, they averaged nine turnovers that led to seven points, while the Dream averaged 17.5 turnovers that led to 18.5 Golden State points. Angel Reese, the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year, was the Finals MVP favorite when Atlanta led 2-1,...

By Jake "Star" Whitfield , RF Sports Radio Cowboys voice Cowboys Nation, the hangover from Monday night was the good kind. But the calendar does not care how good Philadelphia felt. Arizona comes to AT&T Stadium on Sunday, and that game decides whether 38-21 was a turning point or a one-night party. The facts Dallas is 3-4 after beating the Eagles 38-21 on Monday Night Football, per the Associated Press. Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns, and Javonte Williams carried 25 times for a career-high 155 yards and a score, per NFL.com. The AP notes the Cowboys are the only team in the NFC East with two division wins, while the Giants lead the division at 4-2-1. The team site's postgame breakdown put it simply: the linemen led the way. Dallas ran 38 times for 204 yards, after coming into the night last in the league in carries per game. Prescott said the timing mattered, too. "Come out, get a division win on the road in a hostile environment ...

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Stars fans, every streak ends. I just didn't expect this one to end with Dallas looking this flat on home ice against a goalie who hadn't played an NHL game since April. The facts The New Jersey Devils beat the Stars 5-1 on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center, per the Associated Press and NHL.com. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 16 of the 17 shots he faced in his Devils debut, four days after New Jersey acquired him from Winnipeg. It was his first win since April 9, per the AP. Nico Hischier scored twice, at 2:41 of the first period and 38 seconds into the second. Dallas challenged the first goal for goaltender interference on Timo Meier, and lost. Jesper Boqvist made it 3-0 midway through the second. Justin Hryckowian got Dallas on the board at 16:08 by redirecting a Tyler Myers point shot, but Luke Hughes answered 28 seconds later. Jack Hughes added the final goal in the third. Casey DeSmith, in his third start, made 22 ...
