BYU faces 3rd consecutive Big 12 backup QB at No. 7 Texas. OSU’s Gordon goes for another 100

Things to watch in the Big 12 Conference in Week 9:GAME OF THE WEEKBYU (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) at No. 7 Texas (6-1, 3-1). The Longhorns are coming off a shaky performance and starting quarterback Quinn Ewers is recovering from a sprained throwing shoulder. That sets up BYU to face an opponent’s backup quarterback for the third game in a row. Texas still controls its path to the Big 12 championship game, and potentially the College Football Playoff if it can avoid a second loss. The Longhorns led 21-0 early last week and held on for a 31-24 win after Houston’s fourth-down incompletion with a minute left from the Texas 10.That came right after a contested spot that coach Dana Holgorsen called “horrible.” Ewers got hurt after taking a hit on a scramble in the third quarter of that game, and Maalik Murphy is expected to start in his place Saturday. BYU last week won 27-14 over a Texas Tech team using its third quarterback, Jake Strong. That came after a 44-11 loss at TCU with backup QB ...With Melvin gone, Preller is tasked with hiring his 5th Padres manager since mid-2015

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Just a year removed from a stirring run to the NL Championship Series that captivated a championship-starved fan base, general manager A.J. Preller of the big-spending San Diego Padres has to hire a new manager yet again.Bob Melvin’s departure to his hometown Giants — with a year left on his Padres contract — ends a fractured two-season relationship with Preller, although both men said they could have moved forward together if the NL West-rival Giants hadn’t come calling. With Melvin gone following the Padres’ flop this season despite a $258 million opening-day payroll, the third-highest in baseball, Preller must hire what will be his third manager in four seasons and his fifth since mid-2015. That’s a pretty substantial churn rate for a general manager with no 90-win seasons, no division titles and no pennants since he was hired in August 2014. “You want to find talented people that are here for a long time,” Preller said Wednesday. “You look at a...Southside Bancshares: Q3 Earnings Snapshot

I am very excited to meet the leader of our country,” said Keon Francis, one of the students who visited the White House.The students had the unique opportunity to visit D.C. as President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden welcomed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his first lady to the White House during their official visit to the United States.

The winds remain the big story this Thursday as the windy week continues courtesy of a strong area of high pressure to our north.Unfortunately, winds do not look to relax much until perhaps Monday, so breezy to windy conditions with wind gusts up to 30 mph do remain in the forecast.This will keep hazardous marine conditions in play with a Small Craft Advisory in effect through at least Friday evening and a High Surf Advisory for the east coast through this evening.With this onshore flow and the King Tides in place, a Coastal Flood Statement is also in effect for minor saltwater flooding during times of high tide.This Thursday, expect clouds to dominate much of the day with quick-moving showers in spots, especially Miami-Dade and the Florida Keys. This will hold highs close to normal into the mid 80s.As high pressure shifts farther south over the next day or two, that should also nudge the moisture that has been in place for these showers also more to the south, meaning more sunshine...Shooter’s carnage unleashes terror in Maine, manhunt continues

At least 22 were reported dead. A manhunt involving hundreds of officers was underway late Wednesday, Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said at a press conference.Cops first received calls about a shooter at a bowling alley, the Sun Journal reported.

Police have still shared few details about the mass shootings that left as many as 20 people dead in Maine’s second-largest city on Wednesday night.But it was clear that something devastating had hit Lewiston, in the hours after a shooter allegedly opened fire in the Just In Time Recreation bowling alley and Schemengees Bar & Grille.It was the first time a Maine community had experienced the kind of highly public mass shooting that makes national news. That was clear from the large public safety response — followed by the groups of journalists in the hours since.Around 8 p.m., the interstate highway leading to Lewiston was filled with police cruisers and first responders racing to the scene — lights flashing, sirens screaming.Downtown, the streets were eerily quiet as residents mostly heeded a lockdown warning, save for the occasional bicyclist or passerby.“This is crazy,” said resident Jess Paquette, who was out walking her dog Henrietta. “This is just n...Latest news
