Jose and Aurora Rodriguez founded La Serenata in 1985 in Boyle Heights. That was a pivotal era in L.A.’s Mexican food community, and Jose Rodriguez's culinary pursuits led him to become a pioneer in rejecting the “combination plate” standard laden with soggy tacos and burritos.

The top nine teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll won their opening game to the 2024 season, but there was still some movement. The Oregon Ducks looked mediocre at home against Idaho, needing a late TD to pull away and win by 10 points.
Voters punished the Ducks in the poll this week and moved Oregon from No. 3 to No. 6 in the second ranking of the year. That means that Texas, Alabama and Ole Miss all moved up one spot. The Longhorns are now No. 3.
The biggest drops in this week’s poll were Florida State, who started the year No. 10 and are now all the way out of the Top 25, and LSU. The Tigers lost in Las Vegas to USC. The Trojans used that victory to springboard up nine spots.
A look at the full Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports:

Schools Dropped Out
No. 10 Florida State; No. 20 Texas A&M
Others Receiving Votes
Georgia Tech 86; Texas A&M 78; Memphis 43; Kentucky 23; Boise State 22; SMU 19; Auburn 13; Wisconsin 11; Iowa State 10; UNLV 9; Tulane 9; Maryland 9; Liberty 9; Nebraska 8; Boston College 7; South Florida 5; James Madison 4; Air Force 4; UTSA 3; North Carolina 3; Appalachian State 3; Texas State 2; Syracuse 1; Coastal Carolina 1

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.
