    by Chris Ball

    Loveland, Ohio – Is it time to panic in The Jungle? The Bengals are 0-3 and Chris and Mark talk about what went wrong versus the Commanders and just what can be done for the Bengals to find their first win next week against the Carolina Panthers and former Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton. On the more pleasant side of things, the Cincinnati Bearcats blanked the Houston Cougars last week and the Michigan Wolverines beat the USC Trojans while throwing for just 32 (!!!) total yards. So sit back and enjoy, and thanks for all your support!

    Loveland, Ohio – What should have been a glorious football weekend turned into a parade of misery for Chris and Mark as the Bengals, Bearcats, and Wolverines all lost. The Bengals stumbled to a loss against a decidedly inferior Patriots team, the Bearcats blew a 21-point lead, and the Wolverines got blown out at home. Join the guys as they put aside their misery and bring you the stats and analysis (no matter how much pain it causes them).

    Loveland, Ohio – This week, Mark and Chris delve deeper into Ja’Marr Chase’s contract situation, which has more twists and turns than a James Bond movie. The guys take a brief look at the Bengals’ week one opponent, the New England Patriots, and how that is a very winnable game. They also discuss how it’s clearly game over for the Reds, but talk about some of the remaining bright spots for the team and how it’s do or die in 2025. Finally, they get into the meat of the college football action as they give their predictions for the Cincinnati Bearcats, Michigan Wolverines, and the college game in general

  • OSU AT MARYLAND FOOTBALL GAME CANCELED

    OSU AT MARYLAND FOOTBALL GAME CANCELED

    Maryland pauses team-related activities; the game was set to be played at College Park, Md., on Saturday

    by Cassie Mattia

    Cassie Mattia is the Associate Editor of Loveland Magazine and lives in Historic Downtown Loveland.

    Columbus, Ohio – COVID-19 has yet again claimed another college sporting event as the football game between No. 3 Ohio State University and the University of Maryland, which was scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p.m. in College Park, Md., televised on the Big Ten Network, has been canceled. The game will not be rescheduled.

    Earlier this week the University of Maryland put out a press release saying that they would be hitting the pause button on all team activities because of the rise in COVID-19 cases. Maryland’s press release said that “the joint decision to pause football activities and cancel Saturday’s game was made by Director of Athletics Damon Evans and University of Maryland President Darryll Pines, following a recommendation from University health officials, and in consultation with the Big Ten Conference.”

    According to the Maryland press release, during the past seven days, eight Maryland Football players have tested positive for COVID-19. Maryland Athletics released a testing update stating that between September 30th and November 10th 1,510 on-campus PCR screening tests were conducted for student-athletes in all sports. 10 student-athletes tested positive. 

    The Big Ten Conference started testing football student-athletes on September 30th and the men’s and women’s basketball team on October 26th. All other student-athletes will continue to be tested weekly.

    For the latest sports updates stay tuned the Sports 411 with me, Cassie Mattia!
