TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Even now, seven months removed from one of the craziest periods of his professional life, you can hear the urgency in Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer's voice as he recounts the early days in the transition from the University of Washington to Alabama. The 49-year-old head coach was in such a rush that he didn't technically offer Courtney Morgan the general manager job before asking him to join him on the cross-country flight to Tuscaloosa (thankfully, it was understood).

College Football Playoff Contender Loses Two Running Backs For The 2024 Season

From 2017 to 2021, the Oklahoma football program finished among the top ten in the College Football Playoff final rankings each season. Leading the way was head coach Lincoln Riley, who took over for Bob Stoops following his retirement in 2016. Riley posted an incredible 55-10 record in five seasons with the Sooners, including making the CFP three times. However, Riley gained criticism over the years for his lack of success on the biggest stage, posting a 1-3 bowl record during his tenure in Norman, Oklahoma. With Oklahoma’s announcement to the hyper-competitive SEC for the 2024 season, Riley departed the Sooners before the 2022 season in favor of the USC Trojans.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.
