RF Sports Radio | DFW Sports News — Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers, Stars, Wings, SMU

League-wide, the gyms are open — and one of them is in Spain. Most NBA clubs opened camp Monday, Sept. 29. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the distinctive note today: camp begins Wednesday, Sept. 30 at The Embassy Training Center Higuerón in Andalusia, presented by Cleveland Clinic — an overseas base that has hosted Basketball Without Borders Europe. Meanwhile in Camden, the Philadelphia 76ers opened camp with their first full practice of the LeBron James era under Nick Nurse, who said coaching James “looked the same” as competing against him: really tough, really good. Preseason tips Oct. 3; the regular season follows later in October. For a DFW desk tracking the board, that means Macao-bound Mavs are already deep into camp while the rest of the league catches up.

Buffs radio — Coach Prime’s quarterback carousel just clicked into a name. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports Colorado is expected to bench Julian Lewis and start Utah transfer Isaac Wilson at home against No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday. Wilson replaced Lewis in the second half of last week’s 23-13 loss to Baylor, throwing for 156 yards and a touchdown and helping erase a 10-point deficit before the Bears pulled away. Lewis, the prized reclass recruit, has averaged just 5.1 yards per pass against FBS foes. Sanders has been blunt that Lewis “ain’t there yet” as a leader. Wilson’s own tape includes a rough true-freshman year at Utah (10 TDs, 11 INTs) before backing up in 2025 and transferring to Boulder. Folsom hosts a Buffs team sitting 2-2 and 0-1 in the Big 12. For Colorado Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Colorado%20Football), the radio question: does Wilson’s spark travel a full game against a top-15 Red Raiders defense, or is this another short leash in Boulder...

Sic ’em listeners — the homestand’s over. Tempe is next. Baylor (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) hits the road for its first true road test Saturday, Oct. 3 at Arizona State, 9:30 p.m. CT at Mountain America Stadium on ESPN. The Bears just wrapped a three-game home stretch with a 23-13 win over Colorado and have held four straight opponents under 20 points — longest such streak since 2005, per BaylorBears.com. ASU sits 2-1 under Kenny Dillingham, fresh off a 24-17 win over Kansas in London. The Sun Devils lead the all-time series 2-0, including last year’s 27-24 walk-off field goal in Waco. Roy Philpott, Brock Osweiler, and Sherree Burruss have the ESPN call. For Baylor Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Baylor%20Football), the radio question: does that under-20 defense travel west, or does ASU’s home night spoil the Bears’ Big 12 start?

Friday Night Lights reset — Week 6 is a statement board across the Metroplex. The Dallas Morning News hot ticket is Denton Guyer at Denton Braswell, 7 p.m. Friday at Carrico Stadium. Braswell’s 4-0 start is one of the area surprises; Guyer is still viewed as the District 5-6A team to beat. Both defenses have held foes under 21 points per game. A Braswell win flips the district narrative overnight. Also circled: Frisco at Anna (Coyote Stadium) — Anna’s 48-ppg attack vs a Frisco defense allowing under 10; Flower Mound at Little Elm; Frisco Panther Creek at Prosper Richland; Highland Park at Richland; Euless Trinity at South Grand Prairie; Frisco Emerson at Celina; and more on the DMN board. Games tip Friday, Oct. 2 — scores come after the lights. For DFW High School Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/DFW%20High%20School%20Football), the radio question: does Braswell’s perfect start survive Guyer’s front, or does District 5-6A snap back to form?

Arlington, tonight’s the board. Win or winter. The Dallas Wings host Game 2 of their best-of-three first-round series against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. CT at College Park Center, nationally on ESPN. Dallas trails 0-1 after a 104-80 Game 1 loss in San Francisco, when Golden State dropped a franchise-record-tying 18 threes and won the second quarter 37-11. Paige Bueckers scored 21 in her WNBA postseason debut. A Wings win forces Game 3 on Friday, Oct. 2 back at Chase Center (ESPN2). A loss ends the season for the No. 7 seed after a franchise-record 27-17 regular year. The Valkyries (32-12) have owned this matchup all year. For the Dallas Wings (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Wings), the radio question is blunt — can College Park rewrite the tape, or does Golden State close it out on our floor? (Morning package — tip is tonight; final updates after the horn.) Sources: Yahoo Sports (https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/golden-state-v...

Victory Green Nation — Friday isn’t just a puck drop. It’s a full AAC takeover.

That’s the Dallas Stars (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Stars) launching the regular season in front of a national audience after a perfect preseason. Radio question — who shows up for the carpet, and can the Stars open with a statement against a Central rival? Sources: NHL.com/Stars (https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/dallas-st...

H illtop radio check — forget the sloppy tape for a second. Look at third down. Per SMU’s official notes ahead of Saturday, the Mustang defense has held opponents to 11-of-54 (.204) on third down — best in the ACC and No. 2 nationally. Pair that with an offense that has cleared 479 yards in every game and a quarterback, Kevin Jennings, who just became the school’s all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns responsible for, and completions, and you’ve got a nationally televised ACC home date with real teeth. No. 21 / No. 19 SMU (3-1, 1-1 ACC) hosts Boston College (2-2, 0-1 ACC) Saturday, Oct. 3 at 11 a.m. CT at Ford Stadium on The CW. The Eagles are coming off a 21-14 loss to Virginia Tech. Series edge sits with SMU at 3-1, including last year’s 45-13 win in Chestnut Hill. For SMU Football (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/SMU%20Football), the radio question: can the third-down unit stay elite while Jennings keeps the fireworks on without the turnover hangover?
