LSU has added another player to its roster who most recently played for an NFL team.

Lane Kiffin is among the top villains in college football this year, and this only adds to that status.

On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I’m joined by ‘Locked On SEC’ host Chris Gordy to discuss Aaron Philo and Keelon Russell being named the starters at Florida and Alabama.

They’re coming into VERY different levels of pressure.

Minnesota has been a model of consistency under PJ Fleck during his tenure.

Will they be a staple of the middle of the Big 10 once again in 2026?

Calvin McEvoy observed a fitting synchronicity as Yellow Jersey accompanied Half Yours during a workout at Sandown on Saturday, with both horses nearing their spring racing comebacks.

Last year, Half Yours provided McEvoy and his father Tony with a taste of the pressure that accompanies the carnival’s major events, and it’s this same level of aspiration the stable holds for Yellow Jersey.

The McEvoys hold significant Cox Plate ambitions for the imported galloper, who is set to resume in this Saturday’s $200,000 Listed Heatherlie Handicap at Caulfield.

“He’s very untapped and he comes with a very big profile, which comes with pressure, I think,” Calvin McEvoy commented.

“He cost a lot of money and the horse needs to come out and perform.

“Imports don’t always do that, but I believe that we’ve seen enough from him that has shown us that he’s a really good horse.

“He needs to go to the races and perform and I’m hoping that he can be another headline horse for us.”

The 1700-metre Heatherlie Handicap will be the sixth career start for Yellow Jersey. He won his first three races in France before achieving a second placing over 2200m at Group 2 level prior to his export to Australia.

His sole run in Australia was a narrow second in the Listed Wayne Wilson Stakes (1600m) at Eagle Farm on June 13.

The McEvoys had considered a start for Yellow Jersey in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m), but opted to manage his rating and keep options open, especially as he is also entered for the Caulfield Cup, a Group 1 handicap over 2400m for which weights are yet to be released.

“If he were to run sharp in that sort of race, there’s a chance he’d get eight to 10 (ratings) points and we thought that was a low percentage play,” Calvin stated.

Yellow Jersey held a slight advantage over Half Yours at the conclusion of Saturday’s track gallop. This session was part of a preparation geared towards a start in the Makybe Diva Stakes, a race targeted by last year’s Caulfield/Melbourne Cups champion.

“He was a little bit fresh in behind, travelled very strongly and couldn’t have worked any nicer,” McEvoy said of Half Yours.

“He had a healthy blow, he gets one more trial this coming Friday and then goes into the Makybe Diva Stakes first-up.

“He’s exactly where you want him to be.”

The $750,000 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) is scheduled for Flemington on September 12.

The Rock got involved in The Bloodline storyline for a few months in 2024, but has changed its whole trajectory since then. Keeping the WWE angle aside, though, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been a proud Samoan and backs up his extended family tree so much.

This time, his praise comes after WWE NXT’s post before its recent Tuesday night show, which featured a training clip of Fatu. Zilla is training his triceps, with a caption saying he is pumped.

The Great One simply commented here that it’s time for his family to ‘eat,’ implying a slang term for doing amazing work. You can see the post here.

“Time to eat fam.”

Zilla will make his WWE in-ring debut this Sunday at NXT Heatwave against NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo, Cruz Montana, and Grayson Waller in a Fatal Four-Way match for the NXT Championship.

Fatu made his debut just weeks ago on NXT, taking out Montana and Waller in their No. 1 Contender’s match to face D’Angelo. Instead, it turned into a mess, resulting in the final outcome involving him.

The Rock is advertised for a WWE tryout

The current speculation in the wrestling world is that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson could be making his long-awaited return to WWE. The buzz started when WWE deleted and reposted an official announcement for an upcoming tryout in Honolulu. The updated promotional graphic featured The Final Boss alongside Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso.

The tryouts are scheduled around WWE’s October 16 and 17 live events at the Blaisdell Arena. While WWE hasn’t officially explained the graphic tweak, adding The People’s Champion to a promotional asset featuring his real-life family members has sent the wrestling world into overdrive.

With deep family ties to Polynesian wrestling, Hawaii provides the ideal backdrop for The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment to resurface and kick off the next chapter of the Bloodline saga if it is to go that way.
