Cristobal, Beck and Miami Hurricanes heading to ACC Football Kickoff. How to watch
The Hurricanes kick off their season in just more than a month on Aug. 31 against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at 7:30 p.m. from Hard Rock Stadium.
Before that, and before the team starts practicing again next week, the annual media tour is about to begin.
The first stop for the Hurricanes: the 2025 ACC Football Kickoff, which runs Tuesday through Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Hurricanes are the first team to talk, with their half hour session scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Coach Mario Cristobal and four players — quarterback Carson Beck, offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, linebacker Wesley Bissainthe and defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor — are slated to talk at the event.
Miami's session, just like all 17 teams, will be available to live stream on ACC Network Extra. ACC Network will also have live coverage with additional interviews beyond the formal press conferences throughout the three-day event.
The Hurricanes went 10-3 last season, finishing third in the ACC and just missing both the conference title game and the 12-team College Football Playoff. Cristobal is entering his fourth season at the helm of his alma mater.
Beck, who transferred to Miami this offseason from Georgia, will be one of the major storylines for the Hurricanes this season. He is replacing Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall NFL draft pick Cam Ward, who rewrote Miami's record book in his lone season with the Hurricanes, and did not throw during spring practices while recovering from elbow surgery to repair a torn UCL sustained during the SEC Championship Game.

Lionel Messi, wife Antonela Roccuzzo 'caught' on Coldplay 'Kiss Cam'
Lionel Messi and his wife get the Coldplay spotlight, not like that other couple. Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, were briefly serenaded by Coldplay during a concert in Miami on Sunday, July 27. Messi and his wife attended the show at Hard Rock Stadium, and found themselves in the spotlight – far from that one viral Coldplay moment. "Well, Leo, my beautiful brother. You and your wife are looking so fine," Coldplay frontman Chris Martin sang. "Thanks for coming today, to see our band play. The No. 1 sports person of all time." Messi, who doesn't speak English, appeared to understand Coldplay's tribute. He smiled, waved and clapped in response with his arm around his wife. They attended the concert with their three sons Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Messi, the Argentine World Cup champion playing with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer, returns to action on Wednesday, July 30, when his team begins the 2025 Leagues Cup tournament against Mexican club Atlas at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Ranking the 25 best Oregon Ducks since 2000: No. 4 — Royce Freeman
Over the last 25 years, the Oregon Ducks have been one of the single best teams in all of college football, sitting near the top of the sport for the better part of a quarter-century. Since 2000, Oregon has compiled an overall record of 239-83 (.742), with just two losing seasons during that span. They've been to 24 bowl games, won three Rose Bowls, been to a pair of College Football Playoffs, and appeared in two National Championships. They've seen a Heisman Trophy winner in Marcus Mariota and had 99 players selected in the NFL Draft. It's safe to say that when looking at the nation's best in this millennium, Oregon belongs in the conversation. But who are the players who helped get Nike University into that conversation? That's a different question entirely. To celebrate the quarter-century mark, we're going to dive into that question over the next month as we approach the start of the 2025 season. The Ducks have had hundreds of memorable and beloved players over the years, many of whom will live on forever in some way. But who is the best of the best? That answer, of course, is subjective. When reviewing the numbers and conducting our research, we took several factors into account: career statistics, overall impact and success, legacy, fan adoration, and NFL success. Boiling 25 years of Oregon football down to 25 players is no easy task, and not one that we took lightly. Dozens of players were left on the cutting room floor who deserve a spot in the top 25, and at some point, subtracting names off the list started to feel like pulling teeth. But in the end, we were left with 25 players, whom we will honor over the next few weeks. If you want to catch up, let's take a look at how we've gotten to where we're at in the rankings: Today, let's continue with No. 4 — Rolls Royce, Royce Freeman. Player Overview If it's at all possible to be underrated at No. 4, Royce Freeman might be. LaMichael James and Kenyon Barner might receive more headlines, but Freeman belongs in the conversation as one of the best running backs in Oregon history. He was one of the top players in the Pac-12 for his entire four-year career. He started in his first game ans an freshman and never looked back. At 6-foot and 238 pounds, Freeman was like a bowling ball rolling downhill, and defenders did not want to get in the way. Who could blame them? No one in the conference found themselves in the end zone more times than Freeman. Royce Freeman Career Stats 51 games, 947 carries, 5,621 yards (5.9 ypc), 60 TD Royce Freeman Best Single Season 2015: 283 carries, 1,836 yards (6.5 ypc), 17 TD Royce Freeman's Historical Records Royce Freeman NFL Draft Freeman was selected in the third round (71st overall) in the 2018 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos. Royce Freeman NFL Success Freeman had a good two seasons with the Broncos before being bounced around from team to team. His best season came in his rookie year as he gained 521 yards and scored five touchdowns. Unfortunately, roster decisions seem to have derailed Freeman's career. He had a brief stint with the Rams in 2023 where he scored twice, but was eventually released. He was on the Cleveland practice squad in 2024, but never played a game with the Browns. He is currently on the Rams once again with hopes of making their roster this season. Royce Freeman's Lasting Legacy When Freeman signed with the Ducks, he was among the highest-rated offensive recruits to come to Eugene at the time and he definitely did not disappoint. He turned out to be one of the greatest Ducks of all time. Freeman was a key contributor to the Ducks' national championship run in 2014, and he only got better from there. He paved the way for the likes of CJ Verdell, Byron Cardwell, Bucky Irving, and Jordan James. While Freeman may not have garnered the fan adoration of a LaMichael James or Jonathan Stewart, his stats speak for themselves. He was truly a dominant back who will live on in Oregon's history books forever.

When does LSU football report for fall camp?
The 2025 college football season is about a month away and LSU football will begin its preparations in the coming days. The Tigers report for fall camp on July 29, with the first date of practice being July 30. They open the 2025 schedule with a top-10 road matchup at Clemson on August 30. LSU is currently a 3.5-point underdog in that contest. Following last season, head coach Brian Kelly's staff went to work in the transfer portal and signed the top class of the cycle. It included overhauls to the wide receiver and defensive end rooms, specifically, both of which benefited from an influx of proven power four talents. Garrett Nussmeier returns for his second season at the helm of LSU's offense. The quarterback is chasing the program's all-time leading passer mark in his fifth year donning the purple and gold. He's expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC and compete for the Heisman Trophy. As usual, the expectations are to compete for the College Football Playoff in Baton Rouge.
