Fort Worth, TX

A live projection of the latest AP Top 25 rankings during a wild first full weekend of college football. USC should rise several spots in Tuesday's new AP Top 25 rankings after taking out LSU, 27-20, in Las Vegas on Sunday. Woody Marks' touchdown run with eight seconds to play gave Lincoln Riley one of his best wins with the Trojans. Miami looked the part during Saturday's splattering of Florida, one of several eye-opening performances across Week 1 in college football that is sure to alter Tuesday's new AP Top 25 rankings. Top-ranked Georgia's blowout of No. 14 Clemson proved Kirby Smart's team hasn't missed a beat and Penn State's Drew Allar-led victory at West Virginia gives the Big Ten another contender this fall.

West Virginia opened the 2024 season with a 34-12 loss to Penn State on Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers got off to a slow start, and eventually fell behind after allowing a touchdown to end the first half and another one to start the second (after a long lightning delay). A late touchdown from CJ Donaldson was the only time the Mountaineers got into the endzone. EerSports was in attendance, both in the press box and on the sidelines. I was on the field, taking video of the action from a fresh perspective. Check out WVU's highlights and the wild atmosphere of the game, from the field, in the video above.

Alabama wide receiver Ryan "Hollywood" Williams could be starting his senior season at Saraland (Ala.) High School. Instead, he set the college football world on fire with an impressive freshman debut with the Crimson Tide. The 17-year-old, five-star signee took his first two career receptions for touchdowns of 84 and 55 yards in Alabama's 63-0 win over Western Kentucky in Week 1. Saraland head coach Jeff Kelly suggested Tuscaloosa change its name in honor of Williams' performance.

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.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.
