Deion Sanders called out his haters. Colorado narrowly escaped with a 31-26 win against FCS opponent North Dakota State in Thursday night's season-opener in Boulder. The Buffaloes staved off an embarrassing collapse in the closing minutes, with the Bison falling just five yards short on a last-second Hail Mary attempt. After the game, Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed mixed feelings about the victory, but had a pointed message for doubters — or those hoping for a loss.

EUGENE, Ore. — Saturday didn't go to plan for Oregon's offense. Dillon Gabriel doesn't want that to become the trend. An opening drive touchdown wasn't followed with sustained success. Instead, penalties killed drives, an inability to run stalled others and all in all, only 17 more points were scored after it. The 24-14 victory over Idaho, a top-ranked FCS team, left those in the stands and following along from home scratching their heads about the preseason No. 3.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
