📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Walking the Plank. Don’t worry, Johnny Depp isn’t coming to Waco.

But the Seton Hall Pirates are and they kick off a stretch of three straight perennial NCAA Tournament teams on the docket for the Green & Gold.

SHU is in the second season under Shaheen Holloway, who became well-known after helping Saint Peter’s to the Elite Eight in 2022. The Pirates have made the NCAA Tournament in five of the past seven seasons.

The men’s team will be looking to capture its 400th win at the Ferrell Center.

The Bears currently have five different players averaging 11 or more points per game.

🔺 You Always Remember Your First. Sunday Night Football. Defending Super Bowl Champions. Historic Lambeau Field.

Folks, there’s not many better ways to script a first career NFL TD.

That was the script for former Baylor standout Ben Sims, who caught a pass from Jordan Love in the first quarter of Green Bay’s win over Kansas City on Sunday night.

Sims is part of the young Packers team that has won four of their past five games and sit in the seventh and final spot in the NFC Playoff Picture. He has played in all 12 games and has three receptions on the year.

Maybe Taylor Swift was watching the wrong team’s tight end?!?

🔺 A League Of Our Own. All you need to do is read that tweet.

After a successful weekend, Baylor sat as one of just four schools with two undefeated basketball programs.

On Monday, BU became the ONLY school with ✌️ Top-10 teams.

The men’s team moved to #6 in the national polls, while the women’s squad moved into the top-10 at #10 for the first time this season.
