  • Briggs: Toledo football has highest projected win total in MAC. It's still too low

    1 week ago | toledoblade.com | Dave Briggs

    Some years, they contend, some years, they combust. But say this for Toledo football. The Rockets are always in the conversation. This season is no different. When DraftKings this week became the first major sportsbook to release 2025 college football win totals for all 136 FBS teams, the usual suspects topped the list, from reigning champion Ohio State (10½ wins) and Georgia (9½) to … UT. The University of Texas was pretty high up, too.

  • Briggs: Glass Bowl concert proves a big hit. Look for a 'massive' encore

    How is it possible for one starting pitcher to throw a no-hitter while allowing seven runs … in one inning? Or for the other starter to walk or hit eight batters in a row? Ask the Mid-American Conference, which made a total mockery of its baseball tournament on a rain-soaked Thursday at Crushers Stadium in Avon.
