NoteHunters using a crossbow during the last 10 days of the early bow season in the Northern Zone are not subject to the antlered deer-only requirement of the early muzzleloader season in WMU 6N, despite the overlap in season dates.

In Week 17, three of five designated matchups will be played on Saturday. Specific dates and start times for the designated Week 17 matchups will be determined and announced at a later date during the season.

This season, "flexible scheduling" for Sunday Night Football may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and in the NFL's discretion during Weeks 11-17; and for Monday Night Football in the NFL's discretion in Weeks 12-17. During the Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC) and Monday Night Football (on ESPN or ABC) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night or Monday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday/Monday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET. As in prior seasons, for Week 18, the final weekend of the season, the scheduling of the Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and the Sunday night games is not assigned. In Week 18, two games will be played on Saturday (4:30 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET) with the remainder to be played on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET) and one matchup to be played on Sunday night (8:20 PM ET). Specific dates, start times, and networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.

Head coach Shane Steichen stepped in to help an elementary school football team get back in the playground game...and in return, the students worked with Anthony Richardson, DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart to compile the 2024 Colts regular season schedule.

Jeffrey Gorman, JJ Stankevitz and Casey Vallier dive into the Colts' 2024 regular season schedule, from the season opener against the Texans to why the team got only one primetime game and what the toughest stretch of the season looks like it'll be. The guys also finish the podcast with a little bit of schedule trivia.

They have a Franchise mode where you can be a coach,GM maybe a star player (but not the team?) or Fantasy mode (where you can draft players and you're basically playing a fantasy league, no set lineups that resemble the current NFL rosters)

THIS SUCKS!! I'm pissed that apparently EVERYTHING worthwhile is ONLINE only. I was looking to start a franchise season from training camp to the superbowl but not on this version. I paid $70 for a game I DOUBT will have any online support in a year (when the latest version comes out)

wow; how the f does that happen? why would they take that out of the game; got last years ncaa & it was fine how it was; been away from maddens for years but always played the ncaa; MADDEN & EA CAN **bleep** OFF

"The accomplishment belongs to the players," said OU head coach Skip Johnson. "You play one pitch at a time, that's our mantra. We play one pitch at a time and one game at a time and that's what we have to continue to do. That's what we will continue to talk about, continue to work on and continue to practice."

The title is the program's first conference crown in the Big 12 era and 23rd conference title overall. OU's last conference championship came in the Big Eight in 1995.

*Sunday, May 12 Update: With second-place Oklahoma State's series finale vs. Texas Tech canceled Sunday, the Sooners are the outright Big 12 regular season champions.

To the sixth, OU put up another three runs on three hits. An RBI single from senior Kendall Pettis started the flurry, later followed by a fielder's choice from freshman Jaxon Willits that allowed junior Jackson Nicklaus to race home. An RBI single from junior John Spikerman closed the sixth to put OU up 5-1.

After a scoreless seventh, OU pushed across four on three hits in the eighth. A walk to Pettis and singles from junior Scott Mudler and Willits set up Spikerman to launch OU's first grand slam since 2022. The junior centerfielder sent his third home run of the season and first grand slam of his career deep to right field to bring Game 2's final to 9-1.

Three RBI doubles courtesy Spikerman, Carmichael and senior Michael Snyder scored four. A bases-loaded walk and Baylor balk tallied the other two runs in the frame, allowing the Sooners to take command of the game.

A bunt single followed by a BU error pushed the first run across before a sac-fly RBI from Willits scored one. The Sooners loaded the bases for Madron and the senior outfielder delivered, ripping a ball up the alley in right and racing around the bases for an electric inside-the-park grand slam. It was OU's second grand slam in as many games after entering Saturday with none in the last two seasons.

A scoreless sixth and top of the seventh gave OU the run-rule victory and the Sooners 21st win in conference play, tying a program record for conference wins and surpassing the most victories for a Sooner team in Big 12 era (20, 2000).

Four Sooners recorded multi-hit games in the finale, led by Spikerman's 4-for-5 showing with four RBIs. On the day, the junior combined to go 6-for-9 with nine RBIs and three extra-base hits. Carmichael batted in five runs for the second straight day, going 3-for-5 with two extra-base knocks, while Madron plated four on his inside-the-park grand slam.

On the mound, OU utilized four pitchers in Game 3, with senior Carson Atwood (W, 1-0) earning his first win of the season and fifth of his career, striking out a pair in 2.2 scoreless innings. Fellow seniors James Hitt (1.0 IP) and Grant Stevens (2.1) saw action, along with junior Dylan Crooks (1.0). Stevens and Crooks each fanned one.

A year can often be broken up into several distinct sections (sometimes themselves called seasons). These are: a preseason, a series of exhibition games played for training purposes; a regular season, the main period of the league's competition; the postseason, a playoff tournament played against the league's top teams to determine the league's champion; and the offseason, the time when there is no official competition.

In baseball, many clubs go to spring camp and then they have spring training.The National Football League preseason is a highly structured three-game series of games in which teams are afforded a larger roster limit and play games that do not count toward the record. It is used to evaluate and prepare talent for the upcoming regular season.

In sport, the term "regular season" or "home-and-away season"[2] refers to the sport's league competition. The regular season is usually similar to a group tournament format: teams are divided into groups, conferences and/or divisions, and each club plays a set number of games against a set number of opponents. In most countries the league is played in a double round-robin format, where every team plays every other team twice, once at their home venue, and once away at the opposition's venue as visitors. The results over all games are accumulated and when every team has completed its full schedule of games, a winner is declared.

In Australia, the two largest football leagues, the AFL (Australian rules football) and NRL (rugby league), both grew out of competitions held within a single city (respectively Melbourne and Sydney) and only began expanding to the rest of the country when inexpensive air travel made a national league possible. These leagues use a single table instead of being split into divisions. The term "home and away season" is sometimes used instead of regular season.

Many football leagues in Latin America have a very different system. Because most Latin American countries never had a football cup competition, they instead split their season into two parts, typically known as the Apertura and Clausura (Spanish for "opening" and "closing"). Most countries that use this system, Argentina being one notable example, crown separate league champions for each part of the season, using only league play. A few others, such as Uruguay, crown one champion at the end of a playoff involving top teams from each half of the season. Mexico operates its Apertura and Clausura as separate competitions that both end in playoffs. Brazil has a different system, the season starts with the state championships in January (every Brazilian state have his own championship), these state championships ends in April. The Campeonato Brasileiro Srie A itself starts in May and ends in early December, and is played in a double round-robin format in the same way as the European championships.

Many sports leagues have playoffs or "finals" that occur after the regular season is complete. A subset of the teams enter into a playoff tournament, usually a knockout tournament, generally a pre-determined number with better overall records (more wins, fewer losses) during the regular season. There are many variations used to determine the champion, the league's top prize. In many of these leagues, winning the league's top prize at the conclusion of the postseason is more important than winning the regular season. This includes the five major U.S. and Canada sports leagues (Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Finals, NBA Finals, World Series and MLS Cup), the major Australian sports (BBL Grand Final, NBL Grand Final, A-League Grand Final, AFL Grand Final and NRL Grand Final) and the CFL's Grey Cup.

Although rugby union did not become professional until 1995, that sport has a long history of playoffs, primarily in France and the Southern Hemisphere. The French national championship, now known as Top 14, staged a championship final in its first season of 1892, first used more than one round of playoffs in 1893, and has continuously operated a playoff system (except during the two World Wars) since 1899. South Africa's Currie Cup has determined its champions by playoffs since 1968, and New Zealand's National Provincial Championship, the top level of which is now known as the Mitre 10 Cup, has used playoffs since its creation in 1976. Argentina's Nacional de Clubes has determined its champion by playoffs since its inception in 1993. Currently, two separate competitions feed into the Nacional, the Torneo de la URBA (for Buenos Aires clubs, held since 1899) and Torneo del Interior (for the rest of the country); both use playoffs to determine their champions. Super Rugby, involving regional franchises from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa and national franchises in Argentina and Japan, has used playoffs to determine its champions since its creation as Super 12 in 1996.
