Mike Farrell reveals Top 10 coaching candidates for Nebraska

Who does the “godfather of recruiting” think should be on the sidelines for Nebraska next season?

The Nebraska coaching search is now closing in on the two-month mark since the firing of Scott Frost on September 11th. Questions remain on who athletic director Trev Alberts will hire to take over the program starting in 2023. Shortly after firing former coach Scott Frost, the athletic director said the following about the search for a new head coach,

“I will tell you a little bit about the process going forward and we’ll open it up to questions. Obviously, we’re going to do a national search. We’re going to engage some third-party help, mostly for logistics and other things. I want you to know as well and I would encourage our fans and everyone to recognize there will be a lot of rumors out there. There’s going to be a lot of innuendo. I want you to know that these sorts of decisions and processes are not made in a silo. I have a lot of great mentors and friends that we’ll be working with.”

“Ultimately, you know, in a prior life, I have relationships with a lot of coaches in this business, and I intend to reach out to a lot of people. So if you hear that Trev Alberts reached out to XYZ coach, it doesn’t mean that I’ve offered the job to XYZ coach. I think there’s some fabulous coaches out there that have a perspective about our job that I can benefit from so I’m going to reach out to a lot of people.”

The “Godfather of Recruiting” Mike Farrell has recently made his thoughts on the search known by listing the “10 Best Coaching Fits for Nebraska.” You can find that list of candidates below.

How to watch Panthers vs. Falcons: Time, TV and streaming options for Week 10

Here’s how to watch and what to watch for in the Panthers’ lone primetime appearance (at least for now) here in 2022.

Just 11 days ago, the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons gave us one of the craziest games of the 2022 season. So, can they do it again?

Here’s how you can find out . . .

Week 10

When to watch

Thursday, Nov. 10, 8:15 p.m. ET

How to watch/stream

The game will be broadcast on Amazon Prime, with Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung on the call.

How to listen

WRFX 99.7 The FOX is the team’s local radio station. Anish Shroff, Jake Delhomme, Luke Kuechly, Kristen Balboni and Jim Szoke will have the coverage.

History

With their Week 8 loss, the Panthers are now 20-35 all-time against the Falcons. Atlanta has won 11 of the past 15 meetings with Carolina.

What to watch for

Panthers starting quarterback PJ Walker notched a career-high 317 passing yards in that last matchup against the Falcons. But with Baker Mayfield coming on strong in relief this past Sunday and Sam Darnold returning to the active roster, Walker’s time under center could be growing thin.

Will he, running back D’Onta Foreman and wide receiver DJ Moore put in more work on the birds to restart the offense and jump back into this absurd NFC South race?

Flames at Bruins projected goalies

Jacob Markstrom (4-3-2, 2.97 GAA, .893 SV%) vs. Linus Ullmark (9-1-0, 2.05 GAA, .932 SV%, 1 SO)

Markstrom hasn’t been terribly sharp this season, especially in November. He is winless in his five 5 outings while going 0-2-2 with a 3.46 GAA and .881 SV% across 4 November assignments.

Ullmark has looked like an All-Star in the first full month of the regular season, winning all but one of his 10 starts to date. He has allowed 2 or fewer goals in 8 of his 11 appearances.

Flames at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Flames 2

Moneyline

The BRUINS (-175) are actually a bargain at this price.

Boston is a perfect 7-for-7 at home this season and has managed a perfect 5-0-0 record against Western Conference teams to date.

The Flames have dropped 6 in a row, including each of the first 2 games on their current 4-game road trip. Calgary is a very ordinary 2-2-2 in 6 games against Eastern Conference foes.

Puck line/Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+140) are worth playing as a half-unit wager on the puck line.

In Boston’s 6 victories to date as a favorite, it’s covered the puck line in 5 of them.

The Flames +1.5 (-180) have lost 5 of the past 6 games during their skid by just 1 goal, but that’s an awfully large price to pay for a little bit of insurance. Calgary is not playing well and it cannot be trusted.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-125) is worth a play.

The Under has split 3-3 in Calgary’s 6 games against Eastern Conference foes, including 1-1 in 2 road games on its current trip.

The Over has dominated most of the season for Boston, going 7-3-1 in the first 11 games, but the Under is 2-0 in the past 2 outings, with the B’s yielding just 1.5 goals per contest.

Penn State vs. Loyola: Stream, broadcast info, Big Ten schedule

Penn State looks to go 2-0 when they host Loyola on Thursday night. How to watch…

Jalen Pickett and the Penn State Nittany Lions are going for a 2-0 start to the season on Thursday night when they host the Loyola Maryland Greyhounds in non-conference action in the Bryce Jordan Center. Penn State started its season with a solid victory on Monday night against Winthrop and Loyolya dropped its first game of the season with a road loss at DePaul.

Loyola’s Kenny Jones led the Greyhounds with 20 points in the loss on Monday night, and he should be the main cog for the team against Penn State’s defense. Penn State’s defense played well against a well-coached Winthrop squad on Monday night, which pleased head coach Micah Shrewsberry. But that was just one game, and Shrewsberry knows his team still has more to prove.

This will be a good opportunity to keep things going before a big game next week against Butler. Here is how to catch Thursday night’s game as well as the rest of the Big Ten schedule for the night.

On this day: Dave Cowens leave of absence begins; Kendrick Perkins, Gene Conley born; Chuck Connors passes

On this day in Celtics history, Dave Cowens stepped away from the team for a time, Kendrick Perkins and Gene Conely were born, and Chuck Connors left us.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, Hall of Fame big man Dave Cowens took a leave of absence from the team after several days of trying to get permission from team owner Irv Levin and legendary Celtics general manager Red Auerbach.

Cowens never revealed what caused him to want the break — it came after a four-game losing streak in a season that saw friend Paul Silas traded away while Cowens was embroiled in a lawsuit, any of which or all could have been the culprit. “Dave came into my office today, and said he’s got a lot of personal problems and feels he can’t play,” said Auerbach via the AP’s Dave O’Hara.

“These things happen,” added Red. “He’s a fantastic human being and sincere. This is a shock to everyone, no one anticipated it. I ache.”

Warriors’ Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) could return Friday vs. Cavaliers

The Warriors could be getting a piece back in the second unit before hosting the Cavaliers on Friday.

After returning from their five-game road swing, the Golden State Warriors returned to Chase Center to host the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Despite securing a much-needed win to snap their five-game losing streak, the Warriors were still missing a piece off the bench against the Kings.

Due to a hamstring injury, Donte DiVincenzo missed his eighth consecutive game. With the Warriors getting three days off before hosting the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, DiVincenzo could be nearing a return to the court.

On Wednesday, DiVincenzo practiced and scrimmaged with the Warriors. DiVincenzo also practiced on Sunday before Golden State’s game on Monday against the Kings. If DiVincenzo is cleared by the medical staff, he will return to the lineup on Friday against the Cavs, according to Steve Kerr.

Via @CjHolmes22 on Twitter:

Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo scrimmaged today. Steve Kerr says as long as he’s cleared by the medical staff tomorrow, he’ll return to the lineup on Friday against Cleveland.

— C.J. Holmes 🦹🏾‍♂️ (@CjHolmes22) November 9, 2022

If DiVincenzo is cleared to return, he will provide a spark to a bench unit that has struggled to produce and find a rhythm since his injury on Oct. 23 in the third game of the season.

During his first three games with the Warriors, DiVincenzo averaged five points on 45.5% shooting from the field and 33.3% shooting from beyond the arc, with an assist in 14 minutes per game.

Best home photos from Panthers vs. Falcons rivalry

We reached back in the past for some sweet shots between the Panthers and Falcons from Bank of America Stadium.

Before the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons add more memories to this gallery on Thursday night, let’s take a look back at some old ones from this NFC South rivalry.

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Falcons (4-5) visit the Carolina Panthers (2-7) for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff in the Week 10 Thursday Night Football game (Prime Video). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Falcons vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons won a wild 37-34 win in overtime at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against the Panthers in Week 8, but failed to cover as 4.5-point favorites. It was unable to carry over the momentum, losing 20-17 at home to the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.

Carolina QB PJ Walker hit WR D.J. Moore on a Hail Mary to tie the Falcons 34-34, pending the point after. But Moore took off his helmet in celebration, the Panthers were flagged 15 yards and PK Eddy Pineiro missed the PAT sending the game to OT. Pineiro also missed a game-winning field goal in OT, but the Falcons didn’t.
