  • SEC unveils league matchups for next four seasons, keeps most rivalries intact

    [ad_1]

    The Southeastern Conference announced league matchups for the next four years Tuesday, including designating three annual — not permanent — opponents for each of its 16 teams. The nine-game slates retain several traditional rivalries and renew some old ones.

    And there are no more lengthy waits to play everyone.

    The new format begins next year and runs through 2029, with the SEC having the option to tweak it every four years to maintain competitive balance.

    Each team will play three opponents annually and rotate through the remaining 12. The setup ensures that rotating teams square off every other year and every team plays at every SEC venue at least once over a four-year span.

    Georgia, for example, will play at Alabama in 2026 and host the Crimson Tide in 2028. The Bulldogs will then host LSU in 2027 and travel to Baton Rouge in 2029.

    Fans are sure to gripe about the loss of some traditional series. Alabama-LSU (played every year since 1964) and Florida-LSU (played every year since 1971) will no longer be annual events. But those teams will meet every other year, home and away, under the new format.

    Geography and competitive fairness were factored into the decisions, but not as prominently as maintaining long-standing rivalries like the Iron Bowl, the Egg Bowl, the Red River Rivalry, the Magnolia Bowl, the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, the Third Saturday in October and the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

    The league also renewed rivalries that had been largely on hiatus since conference realignment. But the recent addition of former Big 12 heavyweights Oklahoma and Texas have a few back in the mix.

    The Lone Star Shootout featuring Texas and Texas A&M, a game held every year between 1915 and 2011, will now be played annually. So will the Missouri-Oklahoma series. which was played nearly every year between 1910 and 1995. Same for Arkansas-Texas, which ended in 1991 after a 60-year run.

    Here are each school’s annual opponents through 2029:

    Alabama: Auburn, Mississippi State, Tennessee.

    Arkansas: LSU, Missouri, Texas.

    Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt.

    Florida: Georgia (neutral site), Kentucky, South Carolina.

    Georgia: Auburn, Florida (neutral), South Carolina.

    Kentucky: Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee.

    LSU: Arkansas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M.

    Mississippi State: Alabama, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt.

    Missouri: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M.

    Oklahoma: Missouri, Ole Miss, Texas (neutral).

    Ole Miss: LSU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma.

    South Carolina: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky.

    Tennessee: Alabama, Kentucky, Vanderbilt.

    Texas: Arkansas, Oklahoma (neutral), Texas A&M.

    Texas A&M: LSU, Missouri, Texas.

    Vanderbilt: Auburn, Mississippi State, Tennessee.

  • Bengals QB Joe Burrow to have surgery on left toe and miss 3 months

    [ad_1]

    CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will undergo surgery on his injured left toe and is expected to be out for three months, a person with knowledge of the situation said Monday.

    What You Need To Know

    • The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Bengals are not expected to make an announcement until coach Zac Taylor’s news conference later Monday

    • It is Burrow’s third major injury in his six seasons since being the top overall pick in the 2020 draft

    • Burrow was sacked by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead for a 5-yard loss at the Bengals 35-yard line with 9:02 remaining in the first half

    The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Bengals are not expected to make an announcement until coach Zac Taylor’s news conference later Monday.

    It is Burrow’s third major injury in his six seasons since being the top overall pick in the 2020 draft and a major blow to Cincinnati, which is off to its first 2-0 start since 2018 and has postseason aspirations after missing the playoffs the past two seasons.

    Burrow left the Bengals’ locker room on crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot after injuring his toe during the second quarter of Cincinnati’s 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

    Burrow was sacked by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead for a 5-yard loss at the Bengals 35-yard line with 9:02 remaining in the first half. It was the second time Burrow had been sacked in the game.

    Burrow went into the sideline medical tent. He came out and walked briefly with a limp before heading to the locker room.

    “It’s tough right now. We’re going to be OK. He’s a strong guy,” wide receiver Tee Higgins said. “We look forward to seeing what the results are.”

    Burrow’s injury comes at an inopportune time for the Bengals, who play at Minnesota next week to begin a stretch of five straight opponents that made the playoffs last year.

    Jake Browning will be the starter in Burrow’s absence. He completed 21 of 32 passes for 241 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

    Browning also scored the go-ahead touchdown with 18 seconds remaining on a 1-yard leap.

    “He said, ‘Good job.’ He was dealing with the injury, so it was brief,” Browning said about his postgame conversation with Burrow.

    Browning has played 13 games for Cincinnati and went 4-3 as the starter two years ago when Burrow was sidelined.

    “I know it wasn’t my best game, but we won, so Sundays are happy,” Browning said. “But come Monday, we’ll come in and get better.”

    Burrow led the league last season with 4,918 passing yards and 43 TD passes last season. A knee injury in his rookie season in 2020 cost him six games, and a wrist injury in 2023 kept him out for the final seven games.

  • The peak of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is here

    [ad_1]

    Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean spans June through November, and this year was forecasted to be near to above average.

    What You Need To Know

    • The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season was forecasted to be near to above average

    • Through early Sept. 2025, there have only been six named storms

    • The climatological peak of hurricane season is on Sept. 10


    However, as we approach the climatological peak of the season, we’ve only had six named storms. 

    2025 Atlantic Season predictions

    Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Colorado State University (CSU) made their seasonal forecasts back in May and updated them in August. The latest outlooks predict an above-average season: 13 to 18 tropical cyclones (down from 13 to 19 named storms) for NOAA and 16 named storms for CSU (down from 17 to 24 named storms).

    The new predictions include the six named storms we’ve already seen. The average number of named storms is around 14 per season.

    How the season began

    Tropical Storm Andrea formed on June 23, 2025. This marked the latest start to a season since 2014. 

    Next, Tropical Storm Barry formed toward the end of June and made landfall in Veracruz, Mexico. 

    After Barry, Tropical Storm Chantal impacted the southeastern U.S. The storm made landfall in South Carolina on July 6, bringing tropical storm force-winds and flooding rainfall to the Carolinas.

    Tropical Storm Dexter followed, and next, Hurricane Erin. Erin became a large and powerful Category 5 storm. The storm stayed well off the coast of the U.S., but it brought dangerous rip currents to most of the eastern seaboard.

    Tropical Storm Fernand formed in mid-August and stayed offshore. Here’s a look at the 2025 hurricane season so far. 

    Since then, there has been a lull in tropical activity. 

    Still a lot of the season to go

    In September and early October, storms are most likely to form in the central Atlantic and the Caribbean. However, as more frontal boundaries move through the U.S. at this time, it’s possible for tropical cyclones to develop along old fronts in the Gulf of Mexico and off of the southeast coast. 

    “We are just coming up on the halfway mark of the hurricane season, usually the time of peak activity,” says Dr. Frank Marks, a meteorologist in the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA/Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. 

    Don’t let the lull in the Atlantic lull you to sleep. As we approach the peak with quiet conditions, there’s still plenty of time for more storms to develop.

    Notable September and October tropical cyclones

    Even though many may be focused on fall, hurricane season is ongoing! There have been many tropical cyclones that have formed and made landfall in September and October. 

    Just last year, Hurricane Milton formed in October and rapidly intensified into a powerful Category 5 storm in the Gulf of America. This was the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded over the Gulf since Hurricane Rita in 2005. Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Siesta Key, FL.

    While the outlook over the next seven days looks quiet in the Atlantic, make sure you’re focusing on the forecast as conditions in the open waters can change. Tracking the Tropics.

    • America’s River Roots Festival canceled its ticketed headliners

    • Free musical performances will take place on both sides of the river

    • Ticketholders were contacted about refunds

    According to a statement from the River Roots Festival, the decision comes amid “a changing entertainment landscape,” to cancel the paid stage concerts. Among the expected headliners were Weezer, Maren Morris, Janelle Monáe, Mt. Joy and other bands.

  • Trayanum’s career day gives Toledo 45-21 win over Western Kentucky

    [ad_1]

    TOLEDO, Ohio — Chip Trayanum rushed for a career-high 163 yards and two touchdowns, Junior Vandeross III caught five passes for 122 yards and a score, and Toledo took down Western Kentucky 45-21 on Saturday night.

    What You Need To Know

    • WKU Football lost 45-21 to Toledo on Saturday at The Glass Bowl

    • Chip Trayanum, a Kentucky transfer, eclipsed 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his six-year collegiate career and first time since 2020 against UCLA while at Arizona

    • Toledo scored 31 consecutive points, and the Hilltoppers did not score until early in the fourth

    • WKU will be off next week, before hosting Nevada on Sept. 20 for a Parent & Family Weekend game


    Trayanum, a Kentucky transfer, eclipsed 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his six-year collegiate career and first time since 2020 against UCLA while at Arizona. Kenji Christian, a transfer from North Carolina A&T, added 91 rushing yards on 15 carries. Toledo had 307 yards on the ground.

    The Rockets (1-1) scored on their first drive after a WKU fumble set them up at the opposing 34-yard line. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren then reeled in a 37-yard pick-six to extend Toledo’s lead to 14-0 just over three minutes into the game.

    After a WKU touchdown pass made it 14-7, the Rockets scored 31 consecutive points and Western Kentucky did not score again until early in the fourth quarter. Vanderross caught a 71-yard touchdown pass just before halftime, and Trayanum took the first snap of the second half 75 yards for a score.

    “A lot of things weren’t good tonight,” said WKU Football Head Coach Tyson Helton in a news release. “There’s a lot of things we need to fix. Things that stood out – we spotted them 14 points, got ourselves in a hole. Defensively, we were in position to make tackles and we didn’t make the tackles or slid off of them. They had a lot of explosive plays. They controlled the line of scrimmage extremely well. I thought we got out-physicaled at the line of scrimmage with our defense. They’re a good football team, good football team, but we did a lot tonight to make it easy for them. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board to get those things fixed.”

    The Hilltoppers (2-1) were led by Maverick McIvor’s 235 passing yards and two scores, and Moussa Barry’s three receptions for 110 yards.

    WKU will be off next week, before hosting Nevada on Sept. 20 for a Parent & Family Weekend game. Kickoff at Houchens-Smith Stadium is set for 6 p.m. CT.

  • Statue of iconic Reds sportscaster to be unveiled

    [ad_1]

    OHIO — For more than four decades he was known as The Voice of the Reds, and he brought passion, energy and storytelling to the airwaves unlike any other.

    Marty Brennaman has become an icon in Cincinnati, and this weekend a bronze statue will be unveiled at Great American Ballpark to honor his legacy. 

    What You Need To Know

    • A statue honoring Marty Brennaman is being unveiled at Great American Ballpark this weekend

    • Spectrum News 1 spoke with Brennaman about his love for the game

    • The statue unveiling and dedication is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, with on-field ceremonies scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

    Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel have issued a proclamation declaring Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025 as “Marty Brennaman Day” in Ohio.

    Spectrum News 1 had the opportunity to speak with Brennaman about his love for the game and what it means to him to secure a lasting place in Cincinnati’s history.

    For Marty Brennaman, every night brought unique challenges and served as a chance to see something new. 

    “This is the hardest sport of all to do because nothing happens until the pitcher throws the ball and you can’t sit there for 25 seconds and not say anything,” Brennaman said.

    It’s an art form he mastered, but believe it or not, in the beginning the Virginia native never aspired to be a big league baseball broadcaster.

    Despite working Spring training games, nothing was like April 4, 1974.  

    “Nothing down there in Florida prepared me for working game 1 with 55,000 people at Riverfront stadium. I was awed by the crowd,” he said.

    The feeling stuck, and over the years he’s witnessed history from the broadcast booth. 

    “I was blessed to have so many great events, and I was at the microphone,” Brennaman said. “Pete Rose’s record breaking hit, Tom Browning’s perfect game, back in ’79 the only new hitter that Tom Seaver ever pitched in his big league career, and he’s one of the great pitchers of all time.”

    “His ability to tell the story, to describe the action on the field, is unparalleled. What he’s been able to do for Reds fans for 46 years, bringing the game to your living rooms, to your automobiles, your backyards, and just wherever you were you could feel part of the game. That’s what made him so special, and I think why people revere him so much,” said Reds Hall of Fame Executive Director Rick Walls. 

    “I’m as equally stunned today as I was when Rick Walls told me back in March that the next one was going to be yours and we were going to dedicate it and unveil it on September the 6th of this year,” Brennaman said. “I’m still having a hard time coming to grips with it.”

    Over the decades, he’s watched baseball change and the city that become home. 

    “Once they determine that you’re one of them, they will go to bat for you, and they will love you, and they will do whatever they can for you, but you, in turn, need to show how you feel,” Brennaman said.

    “In the community, he has been a great ambassador for this team, and for the club and raised money for so many worthy charities, whether it’s the Reds Hall of Fame or the Reds Community fund, he’s always been there,” Walls said. 

    It’s not just about the 46 years behind the mic.  

    “I can’t imagine living anywhere where I could have been happier than Cincinnati Ohio. I love this city with a passion and the people here. There’s nobody that’s had a better career with a greater outcome that I had in all the years I did Reds baseball in this city,” he said.

    In his retirement at age 83, Brennaman enjoys spending time with his wife and seeing broadway shows and traveling. 

    The statue unveiling and dedication is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, prior to the Reds vs. Mets game at Great American Ball Park.

    On-field ceremonies are scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

  • September’s ‘Corn Moon’ rises this week

    [ad_1]

    Our next full moon, and the final one of the astronomical summer, is set to rise above the horizon this week on Sunday, September 7th.

    What You Need To Know

    • September’s full moon will rise this weekend

    • It is called the ‘Corn Moon’ this year

    • Unobstructed views of the horizon allow for best sightings


    This full moon is called the Corn Moon as opposed to the Harvest Moon which traditionally is the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox (September 22nd). It just so happens that the next full moon will occur on October 6th so it gets the name Harvest Moon this year.

    The moon will officially be full at 2:09 pm EDT Sunday, so it won’t be seen until hours later when it rises above the horizon after sunset.

    This year’s Corn Moon will actually coincide with a lunar eclipse for much of the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Africa, and Australia), but no eclipse will be visible across the U.S. Other countries can expect a long-lasting “blood moon” similar to what America saw back in March earlier this year.

     

    Potential cloud coverage Sunday evening. (weathermodels.com)

    The name of the moon is a reference to the corn harvest, which typically happens this time of the year across North America.

    The best viewing will be after sunset on Sunday.  To find the best time to view in your area, check out the moonrise calculator. Be sure to find a place with unobstructed horizon views for the best sights.

    The next full moon will be the Harvest Moon, which occurs on October 6, 2025. As mentioned earlier, the Harvest Moon is whatever full moon falls closest to the Fall Equinox. Usually that is in September, but every four or five years, it happens in October.

  • Sturgeon Moon arrives this weekend with planetary conjunction soon after

    [ad_1]

    Our next full moon, popularly called the Sturgeon Moon, will rise in the night sky the evening of Friday, August 8th, across the U.S.

    What You Need To Know

    • August’s full moon is often called the Sturgeon Moon
    • It is also called the Corn Moon
    • Venus, Neptune and the moon will be close to each other in the sky days after the full moon


    The full moon this month, our eighth of the year, will rise after sunset Friday evening across the east coast of the U.S. and fully peak overnight. 

    According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the full moon is called the Sturgeon Moon because it occurs around the time the sturgeon fish were most easily caught by Native Americans around the Great Lakes. It is also called the Corn Moon and Harvest Moon by other Native American tribes. 

    The best viewing will be after sunset on Friday. To find the best time to view in your area, check out the moonrise calculator. Be sure to find a place with unobstructed horizon views for the best sights.

    A celestial gathering

    The full moon won’t be the only celestial event going on early in August. On August 12th, a few days after the Sturgeon Moon, the planets Venus and Neptune will share the sky in proximity with the moon.

    This event, called a planetary conjunction, will be a good one for night sky watchers. Venus will be easily seen with the naked eye, but you will need a telescope or binoculars to see Neptune as well. 

    The next full moon will be the Harvest Moon, which occurs on September 7th, 2025. This is a special full moon as it will appear closest to the autumnal equinox.

    According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the full moon is called the Sturgeon Moon because it occurs around the time the sturgeon fish were most easily caught by Native Americans around the Great Lakes. It is also called the Corn Moon and Harvest Moon by other Native American tribes. 

    The best viewing will be after sunset on Friday. To find the best time to view in your area, check out the moonrise calculator. Be sure to find a place with unobstructed horizon views for the best sights.

    A celestial gathering

    The full moon won’t be the only celestial event going on early in August. On August 12th, a few days after the Sturgeon Moon, the planets Venus and Neptune will share the sky in proximity with the moon.

    This event, called a planetary conjunction, will be a good one for night sky watchers. Venus will be easily seen with the naked eye, but you will need a telescope or binoculars to see Neptune as well. 

    The next full moon will be the Harvest Moon, which occurs on September 7th, 2025. This is a special full moon as it will appear closest to the autumnal equinox.

  • June’s strawberry moon will be a rare sight

    [ad_1]

    Our next full moon will rise above the horizon Tuesday night. The June full moon, often called the strawberry moon, will be a special occasion in the night sky.

    What You Need To Know

    • June’s full moon is often called the strawberry moon

    • It will be the lowest full moon in decades

    • Unobstructed views of the horizon allow for best sightings


    The full moon this month, our sixth of the year, will rise notably low above the horizon Tuesday night. This is normally the case with June full moons, but the 2025 strawberry moon will be more dramatic than usual.

    In fact, according to Earth Sky, it will be the lowest full moon in decades thanks to something called a Lunar Standstill. This is a 18.6-year lunar cycle that affects how high the moon is in the sky.

    This is because the light must pass through more of the atmosphere at a lower angle. That results in mostly reds and oranges being visible because of other colors being scattered out. 

    The strawberry moon is expected to peak in the late hours of Tuesday night, but to the naked eye it will look all the same as it arises out of the western sky.

    Possible cloud coverage Tuesday evening. (weathermodels.com)

    The name of the moon is Native American, relating to the peak season of the fruit. In Europe, it has other names like the Honey or Mead moon.

    The best viewing will be after sunset on Tuesday.  To find the best time to view in your area, check out the moonrise calculator. Be sure to find a place with unobstructed horizon views for the best sights.

    The next full moon will be the Buck Moon, which occurs on July 10, 2025.

  • May’s Flower Moon lights up the sky this week

    [ad_1]

    Spring is in the air in more ways than one this week, as May’s full moon will brighten the skies early this week. The second full moon of the season, called the Flower Moon, will rise above the horizon Monday evening.

    What You Need To Know

    • May’s full moon is named the Flower Moon

    • The full moon will peak Monday afternoon

    • Unobstructed views of the horizon allow for best sightings

    There are other names for the celestial event. Native American names also have a spring flavor, including Budding Moon and Planting Moon.

    This year’s Flower Moon will appear smaller than normal because of the moon’s farther distance from Earth thanks to its elliptical orbit.

    Best time to see the Flower Moon

    The full moon will come to full peak Monday afternoon but still provide optimal viewings two days before and after peak. Be sure to find a place with unobstructed horizon views for the best sights.

    The best viewing will be just after moonrise Monday, May 12. You can find the best time, check out the moonrise calculator.

  • Excessive April rainfall led to flooding across the Central US

    [ad_1]

    A train of rain and thunderstorms sat over the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys for the beginning of April, bringing historic flooding in the region.

    What You Need To Know

    • A stalled front was the focus of the heavy rainfall

    • Severe thunderstorms with tornadoes also caused additional damage

    • Rainfall totals exceeded one foot in many locations


    The setup brought severe weather with it, including damaging wind gusts, large hail and several tornadoes. In addition, the front that brought that stalled over the region, bringing heavy rainfall for days, leading to flooding of area creeks, streams and large rivers.

    The Ohio River in Louisville, Ky., recorded a crest of nearly 37 feet. That was 20 feet above flood stage. It was the 8th highest level the river has been in recorded history.

    The Ohio River in Owensboro, Ky., recorded a crest of 47.5 feet. That made it the 6th highest level on record.

    The Mississippi River in Osceola, Ark. recorded a crest of 37.6 feet, which is considered major flooding. That’s almost 10 feet above flood stage.

    The Ohio River remained at high levels the morning of April 9, 2025 amid historic flooding in Louisville. (Spectrum News 1/ Mason Brighton)

    Some areas from Kentucky into Tennessee and Arkansas saw over a foot of rainfall.

    Severe weather

    There was also a severe side to the storm with several days of tornadoes, damaging wind, and hail with thunderstorms. Here’s a look at the tornado paths across the Ohio Valley and south over a six-day period.

    This April has been active in terms of tornadoes. So far, there have been 217 tornadoes across the United States. On average, April brings around 200 tornadoes across the country.

    Rainfall compared to average

    With the heavy rain from the severe thunderstorms, some places for the Mid-South and Mississippi River Valley for the month of April are running over a half foot above the average for precipitation.

    It also looks like the active weather pattern will persist into the beginning of May, which will add to the greater than normal precipitation.
