OXFORD — Football season officially arrived at Yager Stadium on Wednesday, Aug. 5 as Miami University opened fall camp with heightened expectations and just one month to prepare for a challenging season opener at Pittsburgh.
The first practice of August brought the energy that accompanies every new season, but Miami coach Chuck Martin said the excitement must quickly give way to preparation as the RedHawks begin their pursuit of another Mid-American Conference championship.
"It's great to be back out here," Martin said. "We've had a great offseason, great spring, great summer. The kids are well prepared, and we're excited to get out here and get going."
Miami opens the 2026 season Sept. 5 at Pittsburgh before returning home to face Holy Cross. The RedHawks also travel to TQL Stadium to face Cincinnati for the annual Victory Bell game and host Connecticut to complete a demanding nonconference schedule before beginning MAC play.
Martin wasted little time reminding his team that the opener against the Panthers leaves no room for a slow start to camp.

On Monday, Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales stated that his starters would not be suiting up for the Hall of Fame Game. Apparently, and perhaps surprisingly, inside linebacker Trevin Wallace is not included in that group.
Per Joe Person of The Athletic, Wallace is in uniform for tonight's preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
Here's what Canales told reporters at the beginning of the week:
"There are some competition battles for starting positions, where guys will have an opportunity to play a little bit. Some of the guys we're expecting to be out there right off the bat, I think we won't play those guys in this game."
That would likely mean that Wallace, the projected starter alongside free-agent addition Devin Lloyd, does not have that spot locked down as of yet. And given the underwhelming results of Wallace's first two pro campaigns, perhaps Canales and the staff aren't wrong.

The start of August marks the beginning of training camp in the NFL. At Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 training camp looks different. New head coach (and Pittsburgh native) Mike McCarthy brings a whole new staff and personal camp wrinkles to the team.
"Tempered" is how McCarthy described this year's training camp, harkening back to the city's industrial roots and the steelmaking process, according to Brook Pryor from ESPN.
"More than talented… More than tough… Tempered," read the shirts the Steelers gave to staff members.
The first week of training camp has brought a lot of optimism for Steelers fans. The usual stars like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf and Alex Highsmith have handled their business while learning the new schemes. Other players needing to prove themselves have shined in these early practices.
While it is only August, the excitement for this group is palpable and somewhat refreshing.

Interested in Criteo S.A.? Here are five stocks we like better.
Criteo lowered its 2026 outlook after second-quarter results missed expectations, primarily because several large Performance Media clients reduced spending. Full-year Contribution ex-TAC is now expected to decline 10% to 12% at constant currency.
Retail Media showed underlying strength despite $75 million of expected annualized impact from client scope reductions. Excluding those clients, second-quarter Retail Media Contribution ex-TAC grew 20%, while media spend increased 31% year over year.
Criteo continues investing in AI and self-service products, with more than 2,000 brands running campaigns through its OpenAI partnership and over half of its small clients adopting Criteo GO. The company expects these initiatives to become meaningful growth contributors beginning in 2027.

XRP (XRP) has retreated by 5% in the past 30 days and seems headed to retest the $1 level — a highly relevant technical and psychological threshold that, if broken, could mark the beginning of the token's next leg down.
Trading volumes have dropped significantly in the past few days, hitting $580 million on August 1, indicating that interest in this token remains quite weak.
At this level, the amount of XRP exchanging hands accounted for just 0.8% of the ****** et's circulating market cap — a dismal figure in the crypto market and one that we are not used to seeing for this top altcoin.
Net inflows to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to this token also experienced a strong drop in July, retreating for the second month in a row. Investors deposited only $27 million into these vehicles, translating into a 54% decline compared to June's inflows.
The only reason why net inflows ended in positive territory last month was that investors poured $13 million into these funds at the last minute, between July 30 and 31. Otherwise, the figure would have turned negative for the first time since March this year.

Five-star 2028 edge rusher Antonio Thomas Jr. is beginning the next phase of his recruitment and has emerged as a top target for the Florida Gators in the 2028 class.
The talented five-star showcased his skill set last season for Carrollwood Day, finishing the year with 54 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, two pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. He also displayed his versatility by playing both sides of the ball, receiving reps at running back, carrying the ball 100 times for 927 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 240-pound edge rusher has already scheduled his return to the Swamp, planning to be in Gainesville for the Gators' matchup against Ole Miss on Sept. 26.
"I would definitely say they're a priority school," Thomas told Swamp247. "If I had to make a top three right now, they're in there," adding that Florida and Georgia are at the top of the list, playing a big role in his recruitment.
Thomas credits defensive line coach Gerald Chatman for being the main contact from Florida.

Florida State men's basketball has finalized the bulk of its non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season, unveiling a 14-game slate that includes nine home dates and four Power Four opponents.
The Seminoles will begin their second season under head coach Luke Loucks on Nov. 2 against Florida A&M at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa as part of the Orion180 Tip-Off Classic. Florida State then returns to Tallahassee for six consecutive games at the Donald L. Tucker Center, beginning with its home opener against Troy on Nov. 6.
That stretch also features an in-state rivalry matchup with the Florida Gators on Nov. 10, followed by games against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Nov. 13, Ball State on Nov. 17, Green Bay on Nov. 20 and UNC Asheville on Nov. 24. Florida State's opponent and location for a Nov. 29 contest remain undetermined. Two days later, the Seminoles will travel to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers in the fourth annual SEC/ACC Challenge on Dec. 1.
The schedule remains challenging in December. Florida State will host Dayton on Dec. 5 before meeting Texas A&M at the Toyota Center in Houston on Dec. 12. The Seminoles return home to play Jacksonville on Dec. 16, then travel to Jacksonville for a neutral-site matchup with Houston on Dec. 20. Bethune-Cookman visits Tallahassee on Dec. 22 for Florida State's final non-conference game.
Loucks said the schedule was constructed to test the Seminoles before ACC play while also creating opportunities to reach Florida State supporters beyond Tallahassee. The neutral-site games in Tampa and Jacksonville will give the program additional exposure across the state.

The Auburn Tigers have made an impression on one of the nation's top offensive playmakers as the 2028 recruiting cycle heats up.
Auburn is one of several schools catching the eye of four-star tight end Kaleb Ballard, according to a report by Rivals' Chad Simmons, joining SEC rivals Ole Miss and Florida. The Wetumpka native has stormed up the recruiting rankings, and many schools are beginning to take notice.
In an interview with Simmons, Ballard says he hopes to visit several schools, including Auburn, during the 2026 season. Playing close to home is a key component in his recruiting, which is why most of his visits will be to schools located in the Southeast.
"Growing up, we traveled a lot, so around six hours away is really just a drive for my family," Ballard said in an interview with Rivals. "I am looking mainly at schools in that window."
Auburn is a perfect fit for Ballard based on his preference. Ballard, who plays football for Wetumpka High School, is located only 48 miles west of Auburn. Auburn has also recruited its home base well in recent years, as three of Alabama's top 10 recruits from the 2027 cycle are committed to Auburn, and three of the top 20 recruits from the state signed with Auburn during the 2026 cycle.

Things turned awfully testy during the late innings of Wednesday night's 4-2 Mariners victory over the Detroit Tigers, which evened the pivotal series for both teams in an American League playoff race that is heating up more and more with every passing day. A half-inning after Cal Raleigh was drilled in the ribs with 95 mph four-seam fastball by Enmanuel De Jesus — and no warnings were issued — Gabe Speier pegged Gleyber Torres with a 96 mph four-seamer of his own, leading to an exchanging of words and the benches clearing. Speier and Dan Wilson both ended up ejected. As Kate said in the recap, we'll see if this has any ramifications Thursday.
Speaking of throwing at people, Framber Valdez gets the start for the Tigers on Thursday. His first season in Detroit hasn't gone quite to plan, with many of his numbers across the board taking a step back. His FIP has ballooned to 4.13 in 2026, having not exceeded 3.50 over his previous four seasons in Houston.
The Mariners will look to Bryce Miller to try to secure an important series win before the American League-leading Tampa Bay Rays come to town for 50 Seasons weekend. Big Tex had a much shakier month of July (4.93 FIP) after beginning his 2026 campaign with solid performance in May (2.86) and June (3.22). For more on the pitching matchup, check out the series preview.
Taylor Ward is in the leadoff spot for his first time as a Mariner. Brendan Donovan and Josh Naylor both get scheduled days off, and Raleigh gets a rest day (unrelated to the hit-by-pitch last night). Jhonny Pereda will be behind the plate for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, while Weston Wilson and Leo Rivas make starts at first and third base.
In the aftermath of Wednesday's bench-clearing incident, both Speier and Dan Wilson have been suspended by Major League Baseball. Speier's discipline amounts to three games, which he is appealing. Dan Wilson, on the other hand, will serve his one-game suspension on Thursday afternoon. Manny Acta will be the Mariners' acting manager for this important rubber game.

Newcastle United chief executive David Hopkinson has insisted the club's dramatic summer represents the beginning of a new era rather than the end of the Magpies' ambitions.
Speaking to The Athletic following Eddie Howe's departure and Matthias Jaissle's appointment, along with a flurry of important changes to the squad, Hopkinson unveiled what he called "Newcastle United 2.0" and argued the club is building for sustained success despite losing several of its biggest names.
"We're going forwards, in a way that is built to last," Hopkinson said. "We are pivoting in line with our reality, but we will surge forward from here and get into a position where we can win consistently. This Newcastle 2.0 team will be young, hungry, ambitious, relentless. They want to be here and they will fight for everything. This is exciting. This is transformational. This is intentional. Let's go."
Hopkinson also admitted the club's previous approach could not continue indefinitely.
"There's no Newcastle 2.0 without Newcastle 1.0," Hopkinson said. "It ignited this community and allowed us to dream. It brought us spectacular nights here, it brought us a trophy and a parade. It was a great chapter, but we were living beyond our means. And, at some point, you've got to pay the credit card bill."

A week after Michael Brennan threatened to tie the Tour's record for most consecutive made birdies in a round, Sahith Theegala challenged — and eventually tied — the mark for most birdies to open a round by carding six consecutive circle to start his Wyndham Championship.
Theegala's attempt at the record seventh straight birdie came at the par-3 7th, where he bogeyed to fall back to 5 under through seven holes.
And all that drama came within an hour after Beau Hossler signed his first round 61 to become the clubhouse leader — the fifth such low score in three weeks.
With course conditions primed for low scoring, Theegala could certainly challenge for a sub-60 score on Thursday. Golf Channel will be carrying live Round 1 coverage beginning at 3 p.m.

The Oregon Ducks are beginning to stack some important game day visits for the fall, and Dan Lanning just secured a visit with one of the top recruits available in the 2028 class.
Five-star edge rusher Kameron McGee has locked in four game day visits for the upcoming season, including a trip to Eugene. McGee, the No. 1 recruit in the class according to 247 Sports, will visit Autzen Stadium on Oct. 10, when the Ducks host UCLA.
Not only is the matchup important for the Ducks to get off to a good start in Big Ten play, but it's shaping up to be an important recruiting day as well. Alongside McGee, four-star athlete Jayce Halasz will also be in attendance.
Oregon will be the third visit of the fall for McGee. The pass rusher from Chicago will begin his fall visits in Tallahassee with Florida State on Sept. 7 when the Seminoles host SMU. McGee will be in Texas the following week for the Longhorns' matchup against Ohio State. After coming to Eugene, McGee currently has one more visit scheduled to Georgia on Oct. 17 when the Bulldogs host Auburn.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pound pass rusher has a terrific blend of physical and finesse rushing styles. He closes with elite speed off the edge and is a problem for offenses against the run as well. As a sophomore, McGee had 54 tackles, 21 tackles for a loss, 10.5 sacks and nine pass deflections to help Brother Rice finish with a 13-1 record and a state ***** le.

Years after leaving Boston, Will Manny still runs into fans carrying jerseys he signed more than a decade ago. Jeff Trainor remembers being the kid in the stands at Harvard Stadium, dreaming of one day playing on the same field.
It's the kind of connection Homecoming Weekend celebrates.
Inside the Cannons locker room, every tie to Boston is unique. To some, it's home. Others found it through college, and the team's newest members are just beginning to experience it. But for all of them, wearing "Boston" across their chest carries a meaning that goes far beyond the jersey.
"I think I'm a little bit biased," Trainor said. "But out of all the weekends of the year, this is the one that I look forward to most."
For Manny, the Cannons' offensive coordinator, Boston is where he found a second home.

Deion Sanders is entering his fourth season as Colorado's head coach, hoping to transform his 3-29 football team into a consistent winning program beginning in 2026.
As we prepare for the 2026 season, everyone is updating their head coach rankings, with Sanders ranked No. 54 nationally in one ranking and the seventh-best coach in the Big 12. CBS Sports updated its Big 12 coach rankings as well, with Coach Prime landing at No. 13 (No. 60 nationally) on the list. Sanders dropped 27 spots in the national rankings and six in the Big 12 after last season.
Sanders falls surprisingly behind Iowa State's Jimmy Rogers, but ahead of UCF's Scott Frost, Utah's Morgan Scalley and Kansas State's Collin Klein.
Here's what CBS Sports' Cody Nagel had to say about its ranking:
No Power Four coach saw his stock fall further after last season than Sanders. He dropped 27 spots in the national rankings and six in the Big 12, tied for the largest decline since Herm Edwards (-34) in 2022. The drop comes one year after Sanders was the biggest riser in the Power Four (+28), perfectly illustrating the up-and-down trajectory of his tenure in Boulder.

Microsoft (MSFT) is riding high. The company reported better-than-anticipated fourth quarter results after the bell last week, winning over investors who had soured on the Windows developer's stock.
Microsoft has been hounded for much of the year over questions about when its massive AI investments would begin to pay off and whether its Copilot AI software was gaining traction among its vast customer base.
Now it looks as though that's beginning to happen, with the company saying it now has more than 30 million paid Microsoft Copilot 365 seats. Azure revenue also grew 43% last quarter, and growth is expected to continue to accelerate through the first half of Microsoft's fiscal 2027.
However, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that the bulk of Microsoft's AI growth came from OpenAI (OPAI.PVT), adding to concerns about too much revenue concentration around a small set of AI companies.
Despite that, Microsoft's results helped boost Wall Street's confidence in the company's AI plans. While shares of Microsoft underperformed the broader S&P 500, as well as peers Google and Amazon over the last 12 months, the stock turned positive year to date following the company's earnings announcement.

Assane Diao is beginning to attract interest from several clubs in Italy and abroad, as the latest updates claim that Maurizio Sarri and Atalanta are considering a potential move for the Senegal international.
Diao made an explosive start to life in Serie A when he joined Como in a €12m deal from Real Betis in the January window midway through the 2024-25 season, providing eight goals from 15 appearances before the end of the campaign.

However, a series of injuries limited the youngster to just 17 league outings in 2025-26, and he also faces stiff competition in the Como attack from the likes of Jesus Rodriguez, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, Nicolas Kuhn and Jayden Addai.
Several clubs have expressed an interest in the 20-year-old winger this summer, including Galatasaray and Roma, but the latest updates from Gianluca Di Marzio claim that Atalanta are also among the list of interested parties.

Two members of Iran women's football team have become Australian citizens, having previously been granted humanitarian asylum following this year's Asian Cup.
Atefeh Ramezanisadeh, 34, and Fatemeh Pasandideh, 22, were naturalised in Brisbane, Queensland, on Wednesday — five months after refusing to return to Iran.
Seven members of Iran's travelling party for the tournament had initially sought asylum in Australia after their country's elimination from the tournament. Five subsequently changed their minds to return to Iran, but Pasandideh and Ramezanisadeh remained in Australia.
The two received their citizenship certificates at a ceremony attended by Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke.
Ramezanisadeh said her citizenship "represents hope, safety, and the chance to build a new future", while Pasandideh said the moment "feels like a new beginning".
