On Sunday, Feb. 13, the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals take on the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. On the road to this stage, the Bengals ended their 31-year long playoff win drought. The Rams, led by Miami University alumni Sean McVay, had to defeat the legendary Tom Brady, who beat them in Super Bowl LIII.
Blaiden Kirk, a software engineering major from Columbus, is a rising star in the sports realm of social media. He dedicates hours a day to creating content, most notably for his TikTok and for his podcast, Stay Hot.
Three weeks ago, The Athletic reported allegations from former players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim, both of the Portland Thorns, that head coach Paul Riley had sexually coerced them.
I've missed Cincinnati Reds baseball. Last season, fans weren’t allowed to go to live games because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This season, when Great American Ballpark was open to the public again, I didn’t hesitate on going to games.
Since Simone Biles opened up about her decision to withdraw from multiple Olympic event, many athletes around the world have shown their support for her and spoken out about the importance of mental health.
Six former RedHawk football players currently represent Miami University in the National Football League (NFL). Here’s a list of who they are and how they got there.
Here’s a look at what Miami athletics was up to while you were away.
It looked as if the rain might ruin the day, but the sun was shining by the time Miami basketball legend Wayne Embry’s statue was unveiled for the world to see.
Inevitably, mock drafts are wrong. That doesn’t mean we’ll stop trying, though.
In middle school, I wore my love for baseball on my sleeve, and it made up a major part of my identity. I strove to prove I was the biggest Sox fan at my school, and I don’t think anyone even came close to beating me on that front. When I got to high school, though, things changed.
I am unbelievably excited for this new Major League Soccer (MLS) season.
It ’s time we accepted that schools outside out of the Power Five (P5) conferences don’t have a chance at winning a national championship, and – with the ever-increasing trend of high-profile players opting out of bowl games in favor of preparing for the NFL – it’s time we made the postseason serious for Group of Five (G5) schools.
With six rostered players on the two squads playing in this year’s Super Bowl, the Mid-American Conference (MAC) returns the same number of players as in last year’s game. I looked at the recent history of MAC alumni playing in the biggest game in American sports. The only MAC schools to have any connection to Super Bowl-appearing head coaches, whether alumni or coaching experience, are Miami (alma mater of Sean McVay and former home of Sean Payton as an offensive coordinator) and Western Michigan – and Western Michigan’s only claim is briefly having John Harbaugh, a Miami grad, as a running back and outside linebackers coach.
Since 2015, nearly $47 million has been donated to political campaigns by owners from the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB and NASCAR. Where that money goes can tell us more things about our democracy than we have hours in the day. It’s worth asking what kind of politics we do want in our sports.
One club holding the all-time records for the worst offense, the worst defense, and the worst goal differential in league history, and not setting all three together in the same season, is unprecedented in top-division soccer. FC Cincinnati would be the first, and only, team to achieve this feat. It’s only fitting for a club coming from this city, one where the sporting tradition is one of pain and suffering. And I cannot wait for next season.
