NEW: Steve Sarkisian on Ole Miss’ transfer portal practices and academic standards:
“At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours. You may be a semester from graduating, but you’re going all the way back to 50% if you play here and want a degree. But at Ole Miss, they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.”
College Football and Cal Athletics Hall of Fame quarterback Craig Morton died Saturday in Mill Valley at the age of 83 his family confirmed. Morton played three seasons at California (1962-64) before being selected by Dallas with the No. 5 overall pick in the first round of the 1965 NFL Draft. He went on to play 18 NFL campaigns from 1965-82 with Dallas (1965-73), the New York Giants (1974-76) and Denver (1977-82).
STANFORD- Senior Adora Liu shot a 1-over-par 72 in the first round of the NCAA Regional, ending the day tied for 24th place as an individual. Liu started on hole 10, earning a birdie on hole 12, before bogeying hole 13 to fall back to even par. She birdied holes 16 and 17, ending the back nine at a 2-under par 34.
BERKELEY – After a tremendous performance on the road last weekend, sophomore right-hander Gavin Eddy of the California baseball team was named ACC Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the conference Monday.
Eddy struck out a career-high 14 batters Saturday against No. 23 Virginia to become the first Golden Bear to win an ACC weekly honor. It was the most strikeouts recorded by a Cal arm since Kevin Miller struck out 15 on the road at San Francisco on March 29, 2011.
"Ted Lasso" star Cristo Fernández has become a professional football player, signing for USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive, the club announced on Tuesday.
Fernández, who portrayed fictional footballer Dani Rojas on the small screen, will now lace up his cleats for a real-life team after a two-month trial with El Paso.
People come to Los Angeles with big dreams. Some want to make it as Hollywood actors. Others dream of a record deal and music fame. And there’s those who aspire to drink green juice while wearing oversized sunglasses and attend the third-through-seventh inning of a Dodger game at Chavez Ravine while pitching a reality show.
As Roki Sasaki and Trevor McDonald took different paths to deliver extremely similar results—Sasaki navigating through far less traffic than McDonald—it was up to the bullpens to decide this game, and the Giants’ one proved superior on the evening, securing a 9-3 win to open up this four-game set at Dodger Stadium.
Mitchell finished the game with 43 points, and his second-half outburst tied a record set by former Golden State Warriors guard Eric "Sleepy" Floyd in 1987 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Mitchell had an opportunity to break the record, but he missed a free throw with 27.6 seconds remaining.

The comments are wild. There is one guy that keeps arguing that UT is closer to Ole Miss than one of the top Public Universities.
