Alabama Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth has an idea for commemorating Auburn’s second trip to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. In a post on social media site X, Ainsworth suggested a new name for Lake Michigan -- Gulf of Auburn.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Despite being a top 10 transfer portal class according to On3, Michigan football's haul this offseason has somewhat flown under the radar. While former Alabama running back Justice Haynes has been the headline-grabber, perhaps the most underrated additions come along the defensive line.

Haynes, a junior, went to Alabama as a five-star recruit but never emerged as the team’s top back. He barely played as a freshman before taking on the role as the Tide’s third option on the ground, sharing carries with a run-heavy quarterback in Jalen Milroe and running back Jam Miller, rushing just 79 times for 448 yards and seven touchdowns.

With a lot of familiar faces and the same coaches, the maize and blue defense could pick up where it left off.

While the high-end talent may not be as much, last season, the Wolverines had to rely heavily on the aforementioned duo while more inexperienced players (Enow Etta, Trey Pierce, and Ike Iwunnah) got acclimated and Rayshaun Benny came back from the injury he suffered in the Rose Bowl.

The college football spring practice schedule really gets rolling as the calendar turns from March to April, and with more scrimmages and even a few spring games, fans get some clarity on what their favorite teams will be doing at the quarterback position in 2025.

Two of the most explosive teams in the men's NCAA Tournament faced off, with Cooper Flagg and Duke beating Alabama. Highlights and scores:
