Tyler O’Neill is dealing with “general soreness” and the Orioles were “staying away from him tonight,” Tony Mansolino says. Hence the move for Dylan Carlson.

Why Major Applewhite says playing Auburn is ‘huge’ for South Alabama al.com/sports/2025/07…
South Alabama coach Major Applewhite, OL Jordan Davis, LB Darius McKenzie now on the Media Days stage.
Huff also said "I thought coach Saban was coming back" as Southern Miss coach, with some of the preseason projections he's seen regarding his team.
New Southern Miss coach Charles Huff trying to manage expectations, says he voted his team last in the Sun Belt West. "We were 1-11 last year. ... Anybody who [picked us to win] probably had too much bourbon down on Bourbon Street."

Troy football coach Gerad Parker, QB Goose Crowder & DB/LB Devin Lafayette on the stage now at Sun Belt Media Days.
ULM coach Bryant Vincent: "Northeast Louisiana needs the ULM-La Tech rivalry to come back, because that's going to bring out the fans."
Sun Belt commish Keith Gill says if La Tech cannot join league for 2026, it would be "a challenge." Having 13 rather than 14 would mean juggling schedules, rivalry games, etc. Among other things, someone would have play 12 weeks in a row & divisions would go away.
Troy had 4 players named second-team preseason all-Sun Belt: OL Eli Russ DB Devin Lafayette DT Luis Medina K Scott Taylor Renfroe
South Alabama linebacker Blayne Myrick, a Fairhope native, is the preseason Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year. Myrick and RB Kentrel Bullock were also picked first-team preseason All-Sun Belt. OL Jordan Davis, DB Wesley Miller, P Aleksi Pulkkinen made 2nd-team.

My friend @jbeanpoll asked me: When was the last time Alabama did not have a defensive player picked first-team preseason All-SEC at Media Days? I didn't know, so we looked it up. And the answer is: Never. Media Days started in 1985 and this is the first time. Crazy.

The #Astros have promoted outfielder Joseph Sullivan to Double-A. The 23-year-old had 15 HR, 34 SB and a .873 OPS in 75 games in High-A.
His one season with the Braves might be the best all-around by an Atlanta outfielder between Dale Murphy and Ronald Acuna.
My whole life, all I ever heard was that J.D. Drew was overrated and not actually that good. So when I finally checked his stats, I expected him to be comfortably in Hall of Pretty Good territory—but I was shocked to see he put up 44.9 bWAR with an .873 OPS and a 125 OPS+. I know…
Kalen DeBoer did tie a school record for wins by a first-year Alabama coach when he went 9-4 last year, though Frank Thomas did it in a 10-game schedule in 1931.
Underrated great moment from SEC Media Days past.
Not a joke: Dominique Easley was asked a question about Bear Bryant & didn't recognize the name. He asked if it was some kind of cartoon.
You’re telling me a Mets pitcher blew it, we got our first swing-off, and the National League won? Yeah, the All-Star game exceeded all expectations
Former @SouthAlabamaBSB star Brendan Donovan with 2 hits in the All-Star Game tonight.
This was incredible.
