Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 06:48:16 GMT
When Colorado and Stanford face off Friday night at Folsom Field, it will be a study in extremes.In their first years at each school, Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders brought in 49 transfers, according to On3, while Cardinal coach Troy Taylor brought in five. When Sanders arrived, he told the leftover players to consider transferring out. When Taylor arrived, he told leftover players he wanted them all to stay.But while other coaches have been critical of Sanders’s methods, Taylor said he respected Sanders’ approach.“They play hard, and it’s pretty clear that they’re a better team than they’ve been in the past and I think they’ll continue to get better,” Taylor said. “So I’m not critical at all of what Coach Sanders is doing. He’s doing what everybody else is trying to do in terms of adjust and find some sort of a competitive advantage. And at the end of the day, our job is to graduate players and hopefully have a great experience and win football ga...Review: Where was the ‘real Peter Gabriel’ during San Francisco concert?

The star of the Peter Gabriel show wanted to make one thing clear upfront:Peter Gabriel was not in the house.Instead, he/it said we were watching an avatar — and one that wasn’t nearly as visually impressive as the real deal.“My avatar is 20 years older, 20 years heavier and completely bald,” the alleged avatar said. “The real Peter Gabriel is lying horizontal on a Caribbean beach and totally indistinguishable from a Greek God.”If that was indeed the case then Bay Area fans should count themselves lucky that the “real Peter Gabriel” never showed up on Sunday night to Chase Center in San Francisco, because the show they ended up receiving with nothing less than stellar.At this point in the story, given the advances in A.I. and how virtual reality has already been utilized in the “live” entertainment business, it’s probably best that I clarify that Gabriel was just joking and, indeed, was very much there, in the flesh, ...Crime isn’t the full story: What else is affecting retailers in urban areas, in 4 charts

By Alex Leeds Matthews and Rachel Wilson | CNNTarget is closing nine stores in four metropolitan areas: the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, and New York. The big box retailer cited in its announcement organized retail crime and theft creating an “unsustainable business performance.”But Target is not alone, and it’s not just theft making it hard for retailers: other pressures triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, like the migration of high earners out of major cities, the rise of e-commerce and a continued worker shortage, have changed business conditions in urban cores, according to CNN’s analysis of economic data.Even before the pandemic, closures of brick-and-mortar stores were increasing: 2019 saw more retail store closures than 2020 , according to data from Coresight Research. 2022 was the first year without a net loss in the number of stores since 2016.In a recent survey by the National Retail Federation, retailers reported that shrink — a measure of retail losses that...Lafayette attorney indicted for alleged role in billion-dollar Ponzi scheme

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Brian Kelly marvels at how much quarterback Jayden Daniels is doing to keep his team in contention in the SEC West.Daniels’ 35-yard touchdown run while playing through a rib injury in the fourth quarter of a 49-39 victory at Missouri last week was a case in point.“His ability to run when things are not there is unique,” Kelly said as No. 22 LSU (4-2, 3-1 SEC) prepared to host Auburn (3-2, 0-2) on Saturday night. “His speed, his durability, his toughness puts him up there with the great ones.”When Daniels arrived at LSU as a transfer from Arizona State in 2022, he was an exceptional scrambler — quick, agile, and explosive, with a graceful stride that disguises his breakaway speed.In the season and a half since, Daniels has demonstrated an increasing knack for knowing not just when to run, but whether to run laterally to extend passing opportunities or vertically to gain yards on the ground. He also has exhibited an increasing patience in the po...De Kock’s century helps South Africa earn 134-run win over scrappy Australia at Cricket World Cup

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — No. 2 Michigan is building momentum, following up a 45-7 win over Nebraska with a 52-10 rout of Minnesota last week.“Feel like we can keep on that trajectory,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “It’s very good to come out of that game seeing the evidence that the team is improving.”The Wolverines (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) have won won 18 consecutive conference games, one short of the program record set from 1990 to 1992. They have taken advantage of a soft schedule by winning each game by at least 24 points.Michigan is not expected to slow down Saturday at home against Indiana (2-3, 0-2) in a game it is favored to win by nearly five touchdowns.CHANGING DIRECTIONSIndiana coach Tom Allen saw enough from his stagnant offense that on the first day of the bye week he fired coordinator Walt Bell and promoted Rod Carey from quality control coach to play-caller nearly two weeks ago.
