We're now into July, meaning Minnesota Football kicks off their 2024 season in less than 60 days. Rosters are set, and it's time to get to know the Gophers' opponents a little bit better. I reached out to our North Carolina site at Inside Carolina to get some insight about what this Tar Heel team will look like compared to when Minnesota fans last saw them in Chapel Hill. Jeremiah Holloway covers this team as well as anyone, so I first wanted to know how he thought North Carolina escaped the transfer portal.

Vanderbilt is doing their part to keep up in the loaded SEC, snagging a commitment from second baseman Mike Mancini out of James Madison in the transfer portal on Monday.
Mancini exploded as a sophomore for the Dukes this past season, slashing .329/.419/.587 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI, and 29 stolen bases. He was the 70th ranked player in the transfer portal according to 64 Analytics.
Mancini is perhaps most known for hitting a combined four home runs on one day against South Carolina and NC State in the Raleigh Regional this past season.
The 20-year-old also hit well in the Appalachian League in 2023 – slashing .318/.438/.424 – although he is struggling a bit with Orleans in the Cape Cod League this summer.
Vanderbilt has solid infield depth but was lacking power and speed in a big way last season, and in an extremely deep SEC that resulted in a 13-17 record in conference play and a fourth place finish in the East behind Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Michigan's new defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, has acknowledged that he likes to blitz more than predecessors Jesse Minter or Mike Macdonald. But the Wolverines' DC is also quick to dismiss similarities between his scheme and the one run under Don Brown, whose "Dr. Blitz" nickname reflected his desire to pair pressure with press-man and a single safety.

The Washington Huskies may have only picked up verbal commitments from a few visitors during a weekend that saw them host 17 top 2025 prospects, six on offense and 11 on defense, but more commitments came - and there's still a few more to go. There was already one prospect who was verbally committed to Washington, running back Julian McMahan, but that gave plenty of room for the new Washington coaching staff to make their mark on all the other players they were hosting.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
