By Brooke Calloway , RF Sports Radio SMU voice Mustang fans, Saturday's game at Ford Stadium is a coin flip on paper, and the paper says a lot. Wake Forest opened as a 2.5-point favorite, and when you look at how these two teams have gotten to 8-1 and 7-2, the matchup is clearer than the line. The facts Per the Associated Press preview published by the Las Vegas Sun, No. 11 Wake Forest (8-1) visits No. 25 SMU (7-2) on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.

SMU is 105th in turnover margin at minus-4 and 120th in red-zone defense, allowing scores on 91.3 percent of trips, while Wake's red-zone offense scores 93.5 percent of the time. Wake ranks last in FBS with 83.2 penalty yards per game. Kevin Jennings has thrown for 2,784 yards, 25 touc...

By Coach Terrence Booker , RF Sports Radio DFW high school voice DFW football fans, this is the week where a season can end in one bad quarter. The bi-district round starts Thursday night, and between the unbeaten teams protecting perfect records and the name programs with ugly records, there are a lot of ways for this weekend to go sideways. The facts Per the bi-district schedule compiled by Texas Football and distributed by the Associated Press through NBC 5, Allen (10-0) hosts Lewisville Hebron (5-5) in Class 6A Division I at 7 p.m. Thursday at Eagle Stadium.

By Danielle "Dee" Ortiz , RF Sports Radio WNBA voice Wings fans, the WNBA draft lottery is Sunday, and Dallas will be watching from the outside. That is a good problem. A team that went 27-17 does not need the ping-pong balls. It needs smart decisions around the two young stars it already has. The facts Per the WNBA, Paige Bueckers was named the 2026 Dawn Staley Community Leadership Award winner on Nov. 5, and the league will donate $10,000 to Good Sports, the nonprofit she picked. The league cited her work in Minnesota and Dallas, including a free grocery store at Hopkins West Junior High, a $50,000 donation to the Hopkins Education Foundation and her role with the Wings' Unified Game and All Girls Summer Camp. "I want to pay that forward by using my platform to create opportunities for the next generation," Bueckers said in the release. Per USA Today, the 2027 draft lottery is Sunday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. CT) on ESPN, and Dallas is not ...

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Stars Nation, sometimes the biggest news is a minor-league transaction. On Monday, Dallas loaned rookie defenseman Trey Taylor back to the Texas Stars, and that one move tells you the team expects Miro Heiskanen back soon. Then Thursday, Jamie Benn gets another shot at history at home. The facts Per Dallas Hockey Insider, the Stars announced Taylor's loan to the AHL on Monday, and Bruce LeVine hinted that good news on Heiskanen is likely coming. Nothing is official. Heiskanen is listed day to day with an upper-body injury, sat out the 4-3 win over San Jose on Saturday and was not at Sunday's practice in Euless, per DHI. PuckPedia's projected lines for Thursday have Heiskanen back on the top pair with Esa Lindell, with Thomas Harley and Lian Bichsel moving down a pair, but that is a projection, not a lineup. Taylor played three NHL games without a point. Before his injury, Heiskanen had three goals and eight assists in 15...

By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, Deion Sanders did not dodge it after Tempe. He called the season what it is. Now Colorado has three games to change the ending, starting with a ranked Houston team at Folsom Field on Friday night. The facts Per CBS Sports' Brad Crawford, Colorado fell to 3-6 and 1-5 in the Big 12 with Saturday's 20-10 loss at Arizona State, its sixth loss in seven games. The Buffaloes did not get a first down until midway through the second quarter and trailed 17-0 at halftime. Sanders is 19-26 at Colorado and 10-21 in league play. Asked about his job security with athletic director Fernando Lovo in the room, Sanders said, "I'm not here for my job. I'm here for these young men." He also said, "This is not how it's supposed to be, and we could apologize a thousand times to the fanbase," and, "The season doesn't look good." CBS reported that Colorado faces a buyout north of $25 millio...

By Mac Rivera , RF Sports Radio Baylor voice Bears fans, the scouting report on BYU starts and ends with one player, and Joe Klanderman made it clear Monday he is not buying the easy version of it. Bear Bachmeier is not just a big runner, according to Baylor's interim coach, and Baylor's trip to Provo depends on its defense believing that. The facts Per Baylor Athletics' takeaways from Klanderman's weekly press conference, Baylor (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) plays No. 12 BYU (7-2, 4-2) on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT at LaVell Edwards Stadium on FOX. Bachmeier is coming off a 28-20 loss at Utah in which he threw four interceptions, but Klanderman called him "one of the more complete quarterbacks we've faced this year" and said, "He's got a cannon for an arm." Bachmeier, 6-2 and 230 pounds and wearing No. 47, leads the Cougars with 395 rushing yards and seven touchdowns and has thrown for 2,022 yards and 13 touchdowns while completing 62.7 percent, ...
