“Brad (Holmes) and I both liked him when he was coming out,” head coach Dan Campbell said of Thomas. “He’s trying to learn our terminology and I talked with him (Friday) morning, I told him like everybody else, I said, ‘Hey, you come in here and learn what we’re doing and just continue to develop, keep working.’ I already like his work ethic, and you earn everything you get here. “So you go, you compete, and we’ll take it where it goes. So, I don’t see him being up this (week), but he’s here for a reason and that’s to…
It’s been decades since Australia’s thylacine, known as the Tasmanian tiger, was declared extinct and scientists say they’ve made a breakthrough as they research ways to bring back the carnivore. Colossal Biosciences in a Thursday press release said its reconstructed thylacine genome is about 99.9% complete, with 45 gaps that they’ll work to close through additional sequencing in the coming months. The company also isolated long RNA molecules from a 110-year-old preserved head, which was skinned and kept in ethanol. “The thylacine samples used for our new reference genome are among the best preserved ancient specimens my team has worked with,” said…
Jan-Willem van Schip looked to be in mix for a medal in the men’s Elimination race on Sunday at the UCI Track World Championships. Rather than sprint in the three-up lap against eventual winner Tobias Aagaard Hansen (Denmark) and silver medallist Elia Viviani (Italy), Van Schip was relegated for “dangerous riding”, then disqualified for “insults, threats, improper conduct”.Following the misconduct in public display, national coach Nick Stöpler replaced Van Schip with Vincent Hoppezak in the men’s Madison, the final event of the Track Worlds on Sunday, where the feisty rider would have been able to defend his title with Yoeri…
Well, that game couldn’t have gone much worse than it did. The Indiana Hoosiers played nearly perfect football, while the Huskers were anything but.Indiana came into the game with one of the best offenses in the country, even after accounting for how weak their schedule had been. The Blackshirts should have been a much more formidable challenge for Kurtis Rourke and this high-powered offense. But even with Rourke missing half the game, the Blackshirts allowed their most yards since the Purdue game in 2022. The only solace from this loss is that Indiana is a legitimate playoff contender. Nebraska is…
After coming back down to Earth after Georgia’s 30-15 win over Texas Saturday night, one question kept creeping into my head as I tried to fall asleep.Will Georgia be the new No. 1 team in the country?There’s no denying that Georgia is part of that conversation now, but there are still some other trams in that discussion as well. But I think Georgia deserves to be the new No. 1, and here’s why.The fact that Georgia now has a road win against the No. 1 team in the country is part of the reason why I think the Bulldogs should…

On Saturday, Zendaya attended the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for musical icon Cher and her archival look from the 2001 Bob Mackie collection was a perfect ode to the singer. Cher first wore Mackie in 1967 during an appearance on The Carol Burnett Show and continued to frequently collaborate with the designer. The semi-sheer gold dress Zendaya chose was covered in beads and criss-crossed the star’s body in a series of seductive cutouts that showed off her toned torso.

A group of about 2,000 migrants left Mexico’s southern border Sunday hoping to reach the country’s north and ultimately the United States. The development comes weeks before the U.S. presidential election, in which immigration has been a key issue.Some migrants, like Venezuelan Joel Zambrano, believe a new administration in the U.S. could put an end to asylum appointments through an online system called CBP One. “That is what makes us fearful. They say this could change because they could both close the CBP One appointment and all the services that are helping migrants,” he said. Both the lack of jobs…
