Rap icon set to perform at Fox Big Noon Kickoff before Wisconsin vs. Alabama on Saturday

Rap icon Offset will perform live on Fox Big Noon Kickoff ahead of Wisconsin’s Week 3 contest against Alabama on Saturday.

Slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. ET, the pregame show will already feature several legends including former Alabama running back Mark Ingram II, USC quarterback Matt Leinart, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.

Offset, a member of the famous hip-hop group Migos, will now join the fold before what is easily Wisconsin’s most significant game of the 2024 season thus far.

Even though ESPN will not send its College GameDay crew to Madison this weekend, the Badgers will certainly receive enough national attention for the game, and hopefully afterward as well.

Sports Business Journal notes that Big Noon Kickoff averaged over one million viewers through the first 10 weeks of the 2023 season. Given conference realignment and the depth in prolific players in college football, this number will surely rise as the 2024 slate pans out.

The network’s last national visit to Wisconsin was back in Oct. 2021 when the Badgers lost to the Michigan Wolverines 38-17. Wisconsin has received six Big Noon Kickoff on-site appearances and is 0-5 in its previous Big Noon matches since its inception in 2019.

Despite posting a 2-0 mark to start the season, Wisconsin’s offense has appeared stagnant. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has flashed some skill, but he will need to discover some consistency in the pass game to remain in arms reach of the Crimson Tide at Camp Randall.

Offset hysterically celebrated a fumble during his sideline interview at Colorado State-Colorado

This was a hysterical reaction from Offset.

One of the more fascinating storylines this college football season has been the heightened rivalry between Colorado and Colorado State, and the game lived up to its hype after just a quarter on Saturday night at Folsom Field.

During one of the more surreal moments of that first quarter, Colorado came up with a big fumble while ESPN was interviewing rapper Offset, who had joined the Buffaloes star-studded sideline.

As the play went down, Offset instantly reacted and called for the fumble right after it happened. It made for a delightfully unexpected moment of television and helped this live up to the fireworks we were all hoping for.

Hey, we’d be as excited as Offset was if we were standing on the sideline of the most exciting college football team in America right now.

We’ll be curious to see how long Colorado is able to keep up this momentum on the field, but we’re counting on Deion Sanders and company to establish something really special in Boulder.

Offset knows something’s up, and that’s why he’s sideline with the Buffaloes.

Migos samples LeBron James ‘Taco Tuesday’ video for new track

Migos sampled one of LeBron James’ original Taco Tuesday Instagram videos for a new single they released this week.

In case you’ve ever wondered what would happen if one of LeBron James’ famous Taco Tuesday videos was turned into a song, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff from Migos have given a realization to that imagination. One day before Cinco de Mayo, the Migos turned one of LeBron’s first Taco Tuesday videos into a hook of its own.

Migos released a new single on Monday, just ahead of Cinco de Mayo, entitled “Taco Tuesday,” that riffs off of a video that LeBron took with his family at the dinner table, involving all of his kids and his wife Savannah. The video already has 230k views on YouTube in less than a day.

LeBron’s former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Kevin Love was also inspired by LeBron’s past Taco Tuesday content to create an Instagram of his mood for the day.

While LeBron will likely celebrate Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo later today, he did announce that Barack Obama will be a guest on the “Graduate Together” program he is helping produce for the Class of 2020.
