The experimental season is over. Next comes what could be termed the exhibition season, followed by the real deal. Are Washington State and Oregon State ready for their new existence? Are they on track to thrive when the Pac-12’s rebuild becomes official and five schools from the Mountain West join the conference? Did the fall of 2024 tell us anything about the fall of 2026 for the Cougars and Beavers? “This year, especially for Washington State but also the Pac-12 — it was an incredible win for the Pac-12 because there was a season,” Ryan Leaf, The CW network analyst and former WSU quarterback, told the Hotline. Given the situation just 15 months ago, after 10 schools decided to flee the Pac-12 and leave the Cougars and Beavers behind, the past three months have been an undeniable success. The two-team conference produced a season that met major college standards operationally and competitively. The game broadcasts on The CW were first-rate. The Cougars and Beavers recorded three wins over power conference opponents. WSU won the Apple Cup and became bowl-eligible. Yet both teams finished on low notes — a reminder of the challenge ahead. The Beavers (5-7) were one game short of bowl eligibility, unable to overcome a long midseason losing streak. They experienced a barrage of injuries, especially on defense, and ineffective quarterback play. Gevani McCoy, Ben Gulbranson and Gabarri Johnson completed just 60 percent of their passes and threw more interceptions (11) than touchdowns (seven). Were they used properly by first-year coach Trent Bray and his staff? Gulbranson had the best efficiency rating and highest yards-per-attempt but spent much of the season behind McCoy. “Ever since Jake Luton (in 2019), they haven’t had a quarterback who was ‘the guy,’” said The CW’s Nigel Burton, a former Oregon State assistant coach. “They thought DJ Uiagalelei would be that, but he clearly wasn’t. They have got to find someone who can throw and run at this level.” That wasn’t an issue in Pullman, where sophomore quarterback John Mateer emerged as an elite playmaker: He led the country in total touchdowns with 44 — three more than his former teammate, Cam Ward, who transferred to Miami last winter. The Cougars (8-4) beat Washington and Texas Tech, won eight of their first nine, climbed to No. 19 in the AP poll and were on the outskirts of the College Football Playoff race in the middle of November. But a second-half defensive meltdown at New Mexico derailed their playoff drive and seemingly squashed their sense of urgency. The Cougars lost at Oregon State the following week and blew a fourth-quarter lead against lowly Wyoming at home in the finale. All three losses came with WSU favored by double digits. “Their only real goal when they were 8-1 was the playoff,” Leaf said. “When that went away, I think there really was a disconnect.” In his view, “people checked out.” What’s next for the Pac-12? At the conference level, there are momentous issues to address. The Pac-12 must sign a media rights agreement for the 2025 season and beyond, add at least one more football-playing school and prepare to welcome the five new members (Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State) on July 1, 2026. (Feedback from media companies will dictate which school, or schools, the conference targets and the degree to which it attempts to bolster its basketball product, which will include Gonzaga in the fall of 2026.) On the front lines, the Beavers and Cougars must fortify their rosters and coaching staffs for the next version of the Pac-12. If this season is any indication, the rebuilt conference will prove challenging. Washington State and Oregon State hardly dominated their Mountain West competition. In fact, they lost more games head-to-head (eight) than they won (seven). Clearly, neither program is on Boise State’s level. But several losses came to teams that finished in the bottom half of the Mountain West standings. There are immediate concerns, as well. Oregon State must identify a dependable quarterback, whether it’s one of the returnees or a transfer. And that quarterback needs targets in the passing game. “They need speed,” Burton said of the receivers. “They have nobody who can take the top off a defense and let (receivers) Trent Walker and Darrius Clemons go to work underneath.” The offensive line is “good enough,” Burton added. But the other side of scrimmage is in bad shape. “They are woefully behind on the defensive line,” he said of a unit that allowed 186 rushing yards per game. “That’s the main issue. They have nobody who can push people in the middle and nobody who scares you off the edge.” Washington State’s to-do list isn’t nearly as long, with one item looming over everything: The Cougars must keep Mateer from entering the transfer portal — a task that seemingly became more daunting this week. On Monday, WSU offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle left for the same position at Oklahoma. On Wednesday, Sooners quarterback Jackson Arnold entered the portal, potentially opening a starting spot for Mateer, who grew up in Texas. And on Thursday, freshman tailback Wayshawn Parker announced he was entering the transfer portal. “They need to hang on for dear life to Mateer,” Burton said. “If they keep the team together, they have all the pieces.” *** Send suggestions, comments and tips (confidentiality guaranteed) to wilnerhotline@bayareanewsgroup.com or call 408-920-5716 *** Follow me on the social media platform X: @ WilnerHotlineDOVER, Del. , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chesapeake Utilities Corporation CPK ("Chesapeake Utilities" or the "Company") today announced that it has established an at-the-market equity offering program (the "ATM Program") under which it may, from time to time, sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $100,000,000 (the "Shares").

Musk’s government overhaul plan: 'Delete' bureau that returns billions to Americans

Kingstone stock soars to 52-week high, hits $16.33The Saskatchewan Party's election promises of action on affordability and continued carbon tax exemptions have been fulfilled as the short sitting of the legislature carries on. Both The Saskatchewan Affordability Act and The SaskEnergy (Carbon Tax Fairness For Families) Amendment Act, 2024 passed in the house Thursday in unanimous votes. The affordability act will implement 13 commitments the Sask. Party outlined during its campaign – promising “the largest personal income tax reduction in the province since 2008.” The amendment act will continue to exempt residents from paying federal carbon levies for home heating. The act is estimated to save the average Saskatchewan family $480 next year. Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier Jim Reiter said earlier in the week that he would be reaching out to his federal counterparts to help ensure the tax measures are quickly instituted come Jan. 1, 2025. On Thursday, Premier Scott Moe said he was unaware if Reiter has received an answer to the request. “We would ask them to fast track to change the formulary for employers so that Saskatchewan residents can start receiving, on a monthly basis, the financial advantages that are in [the act],” Moe explained. Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck said her party supported the legislation because Saskatchewan residents desperately need cost-of-living relief. Beck and her MLAs have consistently said the government’s measures stop too short – and have called for the suspension of the provincial gas tax and the removal of the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) on ready-to-eat grocery items. The Sask. Party has moved quickly in introducing its priority bills and amendments during the short sitting. Other pieces of legislation introduced during this week included: NDP calls for investigation fail The Saskatchewan NDP’s repeated attempts to begin an investigation into high food prices in northern Saskatchewan and to compel former Sask. Party MLA Gary Grewal to appear before a legislative committee were again unsuccessful. The opposition attempted to bring both issues forward during proceedings Thursday, utilizing emergency motions. However, both motions, divided among party lines, failed. On Wednesday, the NDP attempted to bring the matters up at two separate committees. The opposition alleges that the government blocked their attempts to introduce the matters. Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck speaks at the APAS AGM on Dec. 3 2024. (Donovan Maess/CTV News) Cumberland MLA Jordan McPhail shared his frustrations on Wednesday with the government’s alleged refusal to hear the issues out. “We let them know that we were bringing a motion forward to committee,” he explained. “Through that process, in the committees this morning, they blocked us bringing that forward.” The government maintained that the NDP was not blocked in making any motion during the committee sittings earlier in the week. “I understand that the NDP are leveling accusations. If you watch the transcript of the meeting, nobody was blocked. There was nothing on the agenda, and quite frankly, the member from the NDP this afternoon was called out for that,” Minister of Justice and Attorney General Tim McLeod told reporters following Question Period on Wednesday. “If they're going to level accusations, they need to be based in fact and if you review the transcript of the meeting, the committee meeting that he's alleging, nothing like that transpired.” The issue of grocery prices in northern Saskatchewan came to the forefront after more than two dozen cases of scurvy were discovered by a doctor in La Ronge, Sask. “People are not able to afford groceries. They're getting diagnosed with scurvy. This is not a hypothetical. This is what's actually happening and it's really frustrating to hear a minister that does not take this seriously, that is trying to silence northern voices and my constituents’ voice here today at the legislature,” McPhail added, referring to McLeod’s comments. “As a father myself of two growing girls, I know the challenges it takes to put as much healthy food into that grocery carts, and I know that it's going to take a government that takes those food security issues seriously to make sure that all families in northern Saskatchewan have that same access to affordable groceries." The opposition has long called for more attention to the case of Gary Grewal, the former Sask. Party backbencher whose hotel received over $700,000 from the ministry of social services by providing rooms to those on social assistance. The province’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner found that Grewal violated rules for elected officials and tasked the assembly with determining a proper penalty. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Moe pointed to the fact that Grewal is no longer an MLA and therefore is now outside the purview of the assembly. “I would say that in this case, this individual didn't run for our party ... he's a private citizen now, and I don't know the last time, under any government, that a private citizen has been summoned to appear before, whether it be a committee or the legislature itself,” he said. Speaking to reporters following Moe, Beck disagreed with the premier’s sentiments and suggested it sets a bad example. “The message we heard from the government today was that an MLA can break the law, and as long as they don't run again, there is no penalty,” she said. "What message does that send to the people of this province? ... just because there, there is no precedent, perhaps, doesn't mean that something shouldn't be done in this case, and I think that's what we'll continue to press for."

North Carolina interviews Bill Belichick for head coaching job, AP sources sayChina’s richest are selling their trophy homes at bargain pricesMorgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.

Nearly half of US teens are online 'constantly,' Pew report finds Nearly half of American teenagers say they are online “constantly,” despite concerns about the effects of social media and smartphones on their mental health. That's according to a new report published Thursday by the Pew Research Center. As in past years, YouTube was the single most popular platform teenagers used — 90% said they watched videos on the site, down slightly from 95% in 2022. There was a slight downward trend in several popular apps teens used. For instance, 63% of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67% and Snapchat slipped to 55% from 59%. Wander Franco's sex abuse trial has been postponed 5 months PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic (AP) — The trial against Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who has been charged with sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking, has been postponed until June 2, 2025. Dominican judge Yacaira Veras postponed the hearing Thursday at the request of prosecutors because of the absence of several key witnesses in the case. Franco’s lawyers asked the court to reconsider the postponement, arguing Franco must report to spring training in mid-February. The judge replied that Franco is obligated to continue with the trial schedule and his conditional release from detainment.

With the holidays kicking off today, let’s make it safely through the entire season. As an adventurous group, we enjoy our winter sports, but the most dangerous activity of the season is driving. And, while magic is in the air, distracted drivers are on the interstate. Winter driving is part of mountain living. You may want to practice driving in an empty parking lot, just as you did as a kid, to refresh your ability to navigate icy conditions. However, despite our expertise, with perception sometimes outweighing ability, we cannot always predict the actions of others, black ice on the roads, nocturnal wildlife, brakes and ice not cooperating, or snow and rocks ski racing down the mountain onto the road as rock slides and avalanches. In addition to specialized driving skills, safety requires cars to be adapted to handle winter’s challenging conditions. Every accident, especially the ones with no survivors, was driven by someone who woke up that morning, totally unaware that they would be dead by nightfall. Don’t let that be your holiday legacy. Preparation will set the stage for a safe and wonderful holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving from the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office.Thought just 17, Donald Trump’s granddaughter appears to relish her role as an aspiring, up-and-coming MAGA influencer , as she shares slickly produced videos on social media about the fun she has hanging out with her beloved, president-elect “grandpa.” But there’s only so much that Kai Trump can do to soften the image of a man who has been compared by critics to history’s most dangerous fascists and who regularly hurls insults and makes profane remarks. His opponent in the election, Kamala Harris, received some 74 million votes to his 76 million. With her latest video published Tuesday, the teen golf prodigy also showed “grandpa” looking a bit out of his element while a guest at Elon Musk’s SpaceX launch last week. In one particularly “cringe-worthy” moment of Kai Trump’s behind-the-scenes video, Trump is seen sending Musk into “an awkward spiral” after he asks him whether a rocket booster can be reused — after it has crashed into Gulf of Mexico in a fireball, the Daily Beast reported . Last week, Trump joined Musk, his top campaign donor and his purported new expert advisor in government efficiency, to watch the latest test flight of his Starship rocket system, the Daily Beast reported. For the occasion, Trump was joined by Kai Trump and her good friend, as well as Kai Trump’s father, Donald Trump Jr., and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Musk, who also is a NASA contractor, planned to show Trump a repeat of the “incredible maneuver” that one of his Starship rocket ships executed in October, the Daily Beast said. That’s when giant mechanical arms, sticking out of the launch tower, successfully “caught” the rocket’s “Super Heavy” booster, after it performed the precise moves needed to return to the launch site, SpaceNews.com reported. For the Nov. 19 Starship launch, the rocket successfully lifted off from the SpaceX Starbase test site in Boca Chica, Texas, at 5 p.m., SpaceNews.com reported. Its booster separated from the vehicle’s upper stage about two minutes and 45 seconds after liftoff. The booster started to return to the launch site but, a little more than a minute later, controllers announced “booster offshore divert,” meaning that the booster would not return to the launch pad but instead crash into the Gulf of Mexico. Making the boosters reusable has been a key part of SpaceX’s efforts to cut the cost of each $100 million Starship flight in half, the Daily Beast reported. Kai Trump’s video, which she also shares as a YouTube vlog, caught the moments when Musk told Trump, “We had some concerns about the tower so it was commanded to land out at sea.” In the video, which shows Kai Trump standing nearby, Trump appeared to be uncharacteristically quiet and perhaps a bit awe-struck, as he clearly missed the meaning of what the billionaire was saying. That’s because Trump responded by muttering, “amazing.” The former reality TV star then asked Musk, “Can they use that again? Can they get it from the sea?” Musk appeared to do a double take and to even give the president elect some “side-eye,” the Daily Beast said. Musk awkwardly responded: “Uhh, it’s going to be. ... it‘s ... it’s probably gonna blow up. That’s my guess.” Cruz, standing next to Trump, jumped in to help cover up for Trump’s question by getting Musk to explain that he already has “better” versions of the booster in production, with one ready to use. “Well, there you go,” Cruz said. Trump actually said little else that day, according to Kai Trump’s video and to other news reports. A report in The Telegraph affirmed the view that Trump’s outing with Musk to the SpaceX rocket launch was “awkward” for both men, even as they’ve spent the weeks since the election practically “joined at the hip” at Mar-a-Lago. Trump indeed looked like a “fish out of water” and appeared to be intimidated by Musk during the Starship test flight, according to Darren Stanton, a former police officer and body language expert. Trump showed none of his “alpha male persona” and “power gestures” during the event, Stanton told The Telegraph. “Trump was very uneasy... usually he comes over as this alpha male, the most empowered, most powerful person in the room. I think he’s quite intimidated by Musk,” Stanton said. “He was out of his depth – his hands were just by his side like a mannequin.” It’s hard to believe that Kai Trump intended for her “grandpa” to be seen looking “out of his depth.” As Daily Beast entertainment writer Eboni Boykin-Patterson said in another report , Kai Trump, whose mother is Vanessa Trump, has taken on a role in Trumpworld once filled by her aunt, Ivanka Trump. Since Kai Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention — to “show the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see” — she has become the photogenic young female relative who tries to “sanitize” Trump’s image, Boykin-Patterson also said. Earlier in her video, Kai Trump poked gentle fun at her grandfather — while also giving her some 2.6 million followers some of the “aspirational” content that social media users look for, Boykin-Patterson wrote. As the teenager giddily showed off the luxurious accommodations on Trump’s private jet, she and her friend also spent a few moments recording a TikTok clip , in which they mimicked her grandfather’s golf swing and his meme’d campaign dance moves, set to the Village People’s “YMCA.” The Daily Beast said the result of Kai Trump’s posts is “a simpler, smiley perspective” on Trump, whom she describes as a ” hard worker” for “all Americans.” With her followers, the teenager also shares slideshows of her 78-year-old grandfather, sporting big smiles. “And if that’s all you see of this agreeable, doting grandfather, you’d think he’d never tried to overturn an election,” Boykin-Patterson wrote.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a tough 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football , a game Steeler Nation would rather forget. Despite the disappointing outcome, the Steelers nearly staged a thrilling comeback. After struggling to generate points early and falling behind, the team was energized by a 30-yard run from backup quarterback Justin Fields . This spark allowed Russell Wilson and the offense to take over, eventually pushing Pittsburgh to a late 19-18 lead. The game’s turning point came on a critical 3rd-and-4 late in the fourth quarter. Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith and Head Coach Mike Tomlin made the bold decision to let Fields attempt a pass in adverse weather instead of playing it safe. The pass fell incomplete, forcing the Steelers to give the ball back to the Browns, who ultimately scored and closed out the game. The decision immediately sparked debate among fans and analysts, with many questioning the choice in such a high-stakes moment. On Tuesday, Tomlin was asked about the controversial play during his weekly media availability . His response has added to the discussion, as he stood by the decision while also acknowledging its impact on the outcome. The choice to trust Fields in that moment has become a major talking point, leaving many to wonder if a more conservative approach could have preserved the Steelers’ hard-fought lead. Tomlin has zero regrets about the choice to let Fields throw the ball to George Pickens. "No, we felt good about it to be quite honest with you," Tomlin said. "It was a waning moment, third and medium, 11 guys within five yards of the line of scrimmage, we had GP matched up on a corner not named Denzel Ward. That feels like more than a 50/50 ball to me and so we were more than comfortable with that decision." Tomlin offered his reasoning for choosing to have Fields throw the ball in that critical moment, and his explanation was logical. However, the reporter pressed him further, pointing out that Fields hadn’t thrown a pass in an NFL game in over a month. When asked if he still stood by the decision, Tomlin didn’t back down. Instead, he doubled down on his stance, reaffirming his confidence in the call. "Even though, certainly," Tomlin said with confidence. Steelers fans often criticize Tomlin for being too conservative, but this time, he took a different approach. Believing they had a favorable matchup, Tomlin and Smith called for a pass they considered a high-percentage play. However, it seems they didn’t fully account for the poor weather conditions, which significantly impacted what could realistically be classified as "high percentage." Fields had been effective running the ball in special packages, making the decision to pass even more surprising to some. Steelers' Mike Tomlin Has Zero Regrets About Letting Justin Fields Throw Against The Browns Tomlin and Smith anticipated that the Browns would stack the box, expecting Fields to run on 3rd-and-short. Attempting to outsmart Cleveland, they chose to let Fields throw, despite the challenging conditions. The gamble didn’t pay off, as the pass fell incomplete. While it was a calculated risk, Tomlin stood by the decision and stated he would make the same call again. It was a bold move aimed at securing a crucial road win that ultimately came up short. Whether you agree with the call or not, Tomlin didn’t shy away from taking a chance. While the outcome didn’t favor the Steelers, a successful play could have sealed the victory and silenced critics. Instead, it adds to the ongoing debate about balancing risk and reward in high-pressure moments. This article first appeared on SteelerNation.com and was syndicated with permission.
