General

Which SEC program has the most players in the College Football Hall of Fame?

The College Football Hall of Fame’s roster includes 107 players from the SEC, and the next set of candidates who could expand that number will be known on Monday, when the National Football Foundation releases the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026.

With 24 apiece, Oklahoma and Tennessee are the SEC programs with the most players in the College Football Hall of Fame. But the Sooners haven’t contributed any of the conference’s total of 107.

Oklahoma didn’t play its first SEC season until 2024, so none of the Sooners’ Hall of Famers ever appeared in an SEC game.

Twenty of Tennessee’s 24 Hall of Famers played in the SEC. The careers of the other four predate the SEC’s first football season in 1933.

The number of players in the College Football Hall of Fame from each current SEC program, along with the class of the most recent enshrinee:

• Alabama: 18 SEC and four non-SEC (2024)
• Arkansas: One SEC and eight non-SEC (2019)
• Auburn: Eight SEC and one non-SEC (2025)
• Florida: Nine SEC and one non-SEC (2023)
• Georgia: 14 SEC and two non-SEC (2022)
• Kentucky: Six SEC and zero non-SEC (2024)
• LSU: 10 SEC and one non-SEC (2022)
• Mississippi State: Two SEC and zero non-SEC (2001)
• Missouri: Zero SEC and seven non-SEC (2003)
• Oklahoma: Zero SEC and 24 non-SEC (2022)
• Ole Miss: 10 SEC and zero non-SEC (2025)
• South Carolina: Zero SEC and two non-SEC (2014)
• Tennessee: 20 SEC and four non-SEC (2025)
• Texas: Zero SEC and 23 non-SEC (2025)
• Texas A&M: Zero SEC and 11 non-SEC (2019)
• Vanderbilt: One SEC and four non-SEC (1970)

The original members of the SEC account for all but one of the conference’s players in the College Football Hall of Fame. The exception is Arkansas running back Darren McFadden. The Razorbacks and South Carolina joined the league in 1992.

Between that expansion and the addition of Oklahoma and Texas last season, the SEC added Missouri and Texas A&M in 2012. The most recent of the SEC’s Hall of Fame contingent to play for his league school are Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Tennessee safety Eric Berry in 2009.

Who made the 2025 ASWA All-State Baseball Team?

Overall Bryant-Jordan Scholarship winner Aiden Poe and three standouts committed to SEC schools were among the high school baseball players of the year as named by the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

The ASWA released its annual All-State baseball team today. The All-State softball team will be announced June 7.

The team is selected by the ASWA’s prep committee after nominations from statewide high school coaches. Players must have been nominated by their coaches in order to be considered. One hundred sixty seven schools had at least one All-State player or honorable mention selection.

The organization honors a player, pitcher, hitter and coach of the year in each of the seven AHSAA classifications and the AISA along with a first and second all-state team and honorable mention selections.

The Mr. Baseball winner will be announced at the annual ASWA summer convention June 8 at Jacksonville State University.

Poe, who led Vincent to the Class 2A state title, was named Player of the Year in that classification. Hewitt-Trussville star and Tennessee commit Steele Hall was named the top player in 7A, American Christian slugger and Alabama commit Eric Hines was tops in 5A and Glenwood hitter and pitcher and Auburn commit Mason McCraine was player of the Year in 3A.

Hines and McCraine also were named hitters of the year in their respective classifications. The other player of the year winners were Chelsea’s Aiden Hughes (6A), Deshler’s Garrett Reid (4A), Hackleburg’s Blaise Vickery (1A) and Lakeside’s Demetrius Hardnett (AISA).

Today’s daily horoscopes: May 31, 2025

The Leo lunar influence highlights how we absorb identity through stories. The books (and films, shows, songs) we love shape us — not through effort, but by osmosis. We internalize the language, values and emotional textures of characters we admire and become, in part, what we consume.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will be meaningful to show up for a friend in hard times. You’ll offer help without expecting anything in return. If you ever need help, you’ll feel more comfortable asking for it — not because you’re owed, but because the connection is strong and mutual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re strong enough to hustle, wise enough to welcome ease. Hard work and struggle are legitimate ways to earn a victory, but they are not always necessary. It would be foolish to work when it’s not called for. Save your might for when it’s really needed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your focus, joy and confidence become almost like an aura, which fits you perfectly, like a custom outfit designed just for you. You’re all lit up from the inside, doing what you love without self-consciousness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some things just don’t mix. Oil and water, night and day, moving forward while standing still — and some people are the same way. Not every energy can coexist. Today brings complex combinations and a whole collage of opportunities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t need to push the action along. Just by being there, you make a difference. With your tone of gracious observation you shift the dynamic, gently but unmistakably, in favor of the greater good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Noise is anything that dilutes, distracts or confuses the message — extra words, mixed signals, irrelevant information, emotional static. Today you will eliminate noise and your sharp message cuts through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A version of your dream will show up dressed in practical clothes — and you’ll recognize it. What begins with a humble yes leads to excitement, expansion and joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not trying to impress anyone; you just know what you’re doing and treat people well. That alone gives you natural credibility. When others feel respected and understood, they tend to trust you. No flash needed, just real presence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Intuition is a kind of time travel. Your future self already knows what your current self hasn’t quite grasped yet. It sounds far-fetched, and yet you could experience it anyway — a sense of being nudged from a version of you that has already lived through what’s ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re confident in your thought processes and feel no need to explain them just to prove you’re smart. The people who matter already see it. Everyone else will figure it out later, or not — and it’s not your problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Romantic thrills or flashes of inspiration will light up your day — and if love isn’t the vibe, art, music or deep conversation might be. That sparkling energy lingers into nightfall, when the moon stirs something strange, lovely and luminous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s something important coming your way, but you have to stay in the game for it to reach you. Make hope and persistence your strategy. Keep showing up, and you’ll catch the moment that changes everything.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 31). You’ll love deeply, the sort that doesn’t just stay contained in a relationship but stretches your capacity, opens you and makes you feel more intensely for everything: tenderness for strangers, awe for nature, gratitude for life. More highlights: A major project finishes strong, your style turns heads and you’ll be entrusted with something sacred. Virgo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 30, 15, and 36.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Colin Farrell’s portrayal of Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, in the HBO Max series garnered critical acclaim and a solid impact in the DC Universe. As a Gemini, intellectual curiosity and adaptability are traits that contribute to Farrell’s compelling performances, and he’s even been known to play twins on the screen. His Mars in Leo indicates a passionate drive and a flair for dramatic expression, aligning with his commanding on-screen presence.

Former Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter signed his first NFL contract on Friday with the Los Angeles Rams.

Hunter joined the Rams as a fourth-round selection in the NFL Draft on April 26 after he ran for 3,371 yards and 25 touchdowns on 539 carries and caught 68 passes for 558 yards and four touchdowns in four seasons at Auburn. Hunter ranks fourth in school history in career rushing yards.

As a senior, Hunter had 1,201 yards and eight touchdowns on 187 rushing attempts in 2024. Hunter ran for 278 yards – the fourth-most in one game in Auburn history — and two touchdowns on 23 carries in a 24-10 victory over Kentucky on Oct. 26.

As the 117th selection in the 2025 draft, Hunter signed a four-year, $5.197 million contract.

Kyren Williams anchors the Rams’ running game after consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He had 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns on 316 carries in 2024. No other Los Angeles player had more than 58 carries in 2024, a stat that was true for only three other NFL teams last season.

Los Angeles completed the first of four weeks of Phase 3 of its offseason program on Friday. After their practice on June 18, the Rams will break until the start of training camp.

BetMGM Sportsbook existing user promos

The BetMGM Sportsbook has made its name in online sports betting due to its excellent promos that keep players coming back for more. Here are our favorites:

Bonus bets

Though every online sportsbook has been known to give loyal players great promotions like bonus bets, few do so with the high volume of BetMGM.

Bonus bets are invaluable, since they are free plays to use on whatever markets you like, including those with long odds. Bonus bets pay only profit, which makes them a great option for futures bets.

Same-Game Parlay profit boost

If you are a parlay bettor or are interested in finding a betting market for a same-game parlay, BetMGM will give players a profit boost to use on any game and SGP.

Simply opt in, then apply the profit boost to your same-game parlay and rake in the additional rewards if your multi-leg bet from the same game cashes in.

How to use your BetMGM bonus code offer for this weekend

There’s the French Open, a Game 6 between the Knicks and Pacers, plus exceptional baseball series like the Yankees vs. Dodgers and Braves vs. Red Sox.

But if I were putting together a play for a no-sweat first bet, I would target the Indiana Pacers on the moneyline in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks.

The Pacers have been dominant at home in these playoffs, boasting a 5-2 record while averaging more than 117 points per game. Indiana has already clinched a series at home in Game 5 of its Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Milwaukee.

The Knicks are running out of gas, and the Pacers have the pace to send New York to the off-season, particularly since they have topped 115 points in five of their playoff home games.

If you follow our play and your wager fails, you’ll get one or five bonus bet credits to use in Game 7 on Monday.

These are the best sweeps slots that pay real money to play this weekend (May 30-June 1)

The final weekend of May has arrived, and a huge number of people plan to cap off the month playing their favorite online slot games from the comfort of home.

After looking over hundreds of game titles, I eventually narrowed down to five the list of the best sweeps slots that pay real money this weekend.

The best sweepstakes casinos offer hundreds, or even thousands, of slots. Each of the games featured here is fun, easy to play and offers some excellent payout opportunities.

The 5 best sweeps slots that pay real money this weekend

Slot games remain the most popular casino game to play online. Unfortunately, online real money casinos are legal in only seven states. This has led to the growth of sweepstakes casinos.

Online sweeps casinos look and operate much like real money casinos. Thanks to sweepstakes laws, however, these casinos are legal throughout most of the country.

A huge number of great online sweepstakes casinos are operating today, each of which offers a large number of slot games. Below, I highlight five of the best sweeps slots that pay real money this weekend:

Brew Brothers

Brew Brothers is a unique five-reel slot developed by SlotMill. It features 40 paylines and an average return-to-player (RTP) rate of 96.09%. The game’s theme is somewhat unusual, as it takes place in the American woods with two brothers creating their own brew.

• Where to play: Crown Coins Casino

Like all of the top sweeps slot games, Brew Brothers has a number of exciting features. That includes multipliers, a free spins round and an Old Betty Bonus, which adds extra multipliers on top of the multipliers already featured on the grid.

12 Masks of Fire Drums

One of the best new games at McLuck is 12 Masks of Fire Drums. This is a five-reel slot game that features 20 paylines with an average RTP rate of 96%. It was launched by Gameburger Studios in 2024 yet still remains one of the developer’s most popular game titles.

• Where to play: McLuck

This game uniquely blends elements of a tropical island with classic casino symbols. It has several fun bonuses, including the Epic Strike bonus feature. This is triggered by landing three or more Epic Strike symbols. When this happens, players are awarded a bonus of between 1x to 3,000x their wager.

The Wild Wings of Phoenix

Real Prize offers a huge number of high RTP slots from the top developers in the industry. One of its most popular titles is The Wild Wings of Phoenix, a five-reel slot game developed by Booming Games. The game features 10 paylines but has a somewhat below-average RTP rate of 95.40%.

• Where to play: Real Prize

This slot is not necessarily the best-looking or the most unique. It excels, however, in the bonus features department, including free spins, scatter symbols and expanding wilds. This is a great game for beginners, as it has simple rules that even first-time players can understand in only a few minutes.

Outlaw’s Redemption

Spinomenal is a world-class slot developer focused on releasing exciting new games. In May, it launched Outlaw’s Redemption, a five-reel slot with 50 paylines and an average RTP rate of 96.01%. It’s easy to see how modern this slot is, featuring graphics and a soundtrack that truly shines.

• Where to play: Spree Casino

Not many five-reel slots offer as many unique features as Outlaw’s Redemption. Players will find free spins, countdown wilds, mystery symbols, expanding wilds and a bonus buy option. Fans of old Western films will love the excitement and grit this game offers.

Japanese Mask

SpinBlitz is a comprehensive online sweepstakes casino offering a huge number of slots. In fact, many of its most-popular games also are considered the top real money slots offered by popular casino sites. Japanese Mask is one of its newest additions and is becoming a hit with players around the US.

• Where to play: SpinBlitz

This game, developed by Habanero, features a unique 9×3 grid with 25 paylines and an average RTP rate of 96.50%. The bonuses, such as free spins and multipliers, are great. The theme and graphics of this game are where it really shines. It’s one of the slickest-looking games to launch in recent years and deserves a mention as one of the best sweeps slots that pay real money this weekend.

16-year-old boy charged for ‘reckless’ shooting of girl, 17, at a party in south Alabama

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Friday for a weekend shooting in south Alabama that left another teen hospitalized.

According to the Fairhope Police Department, the teenage boy is being charged with second-degree assault in the shooting that has been deemed unintentional.

However, the department says the teen’s “reckless” behavior caused in a 17-year-old girl to be shot in the neck.

The incident occurred May 24 during an underage party in Fairhope on the 200 block of Rock Creek Parkway.

Fairhope police found the teenage girl with a gunshot wound to the neck after responding to reports of gunfire.

The teenage girl is currently in stable condition, the department said.
