Gainesville, FL

The Billy Napier era in Florida has not gone according to plan. In what was originally considered a home run hire, Napier is now in year three and the odds-on favorite (-150) to be the first coach fired this season. The Gators over/under win total is currently 4.5 after their week 1 loss to Miami (FL). After looking at the toughest schedule in college football, it’s not absurd to think UF could struggle to get two wins. After going 6-7 in 2022 and 5-7 last season, the writing is on the wall unless the head football coach can have a miraculous turnaround. After two other failed hires in Jim McElwain and Dan Mullen, is there really a sure-fire guy who can come in and turn around this floundering program? There’s only one man for the job. Insert: Urban Meyer.

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.

But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.
