EA Sports College Football 27 Trailer Proves Curt Cignetti is His Sports Man of

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (11 reads)

Ea sports ‘college football 27’ trailer proves curt cignetti is his sport’s man of the hour in this story: the first voice you hear in ea sports’s college football 27 trailer is not indiana coach curt cignetti’s. It’s veteran espn announcer chris fowler’s, proclaiming the shocking outcome of the hoosiers’ jan. 19 national championship win over miami to the world. that, we know with the benefit of hindsight, was the moment that launched the cult of cignetti. Since january, the indiana coach’s methods of putting together college football’s greatest turnaround have been subject to anatomical dissection. One thing seems clear, though: the coach appears to be enjoying the party. need proof? Cignetti, in addition to being on the cover of the game, has his fingerprints all over the trailer. The conceit? He’s writing you, ostensibly, an offer letter. That’s right—the dream of young people who play college football 27 is to play football for the indiana hoosiers. How quickly times change. cignetti (the coach) is refreshingly direct, and so too is cignetti (the character) “some players who walk through that tunnel, onto that field, grew up dreaming about putting on this uniform. They’ve rooted for this team their whole life and want to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” cignetti writes you in the trailer. “Some have another dream: the money, the deals, the cars, those shiny teeth. That’s college football now—i get it. Everybody’s gotta make a name for themselves. Truth is, i don’t care why you show up. I care what happens after you do.” first of all, bravo to whoever wrote that monologue. If it was in fact cignetti, his talents are clearly wasted on football. Second, it’s refreshing to see the video game take a subdued, non-hysterical, it-is-what-it-is view of changes to the sport in recent years. Some have been good, some have been bad, the game survives. Any wonder that the coach who seems to have recognized that is now regarded as the best in the business? anyway, after giving you goosebumps, cignetti looks out over indiana’s memorial stadium, the chorus of zach bryan’s “revival” kicks in, and a lot of awesome stuff proceeds to happen. Florida state and notre dame playing in the snow. Usc running back waymond jordan giving the six-seven. Missouri players holding aloft the semi-obscure battle line trophy. Absolute cinema. the more college football diverges, the more precious the video game feels we are now three years into the revival (pun intended) of the franchise formerly known as ncaa football, and the game’s existence still feels like a miracle—let alone the fact that both 24 and 25 garnered solid reviews and flew off the shelves. if fans can read anything into the game’s trailer, it’s an obvious love for all levels of college football—a love that is becoming scarce. The big ten-sec cohort, the acc-big 12 cohort, and the group of 6 seem father apart than ever on all manner of issues, and quite far apart on the field, too. in college football, they don’t have to be. As in fifa and its cousins—another franchise that requires its developers to sell a sprawling vision of a colorful, stratified sport—the dream of the little guy remains alive even as commercialism has threatened its extinction. Here, akron and utep can rise and win the national championship. Maybe even indiana can, too. more college football on sports illustrated follow patrick andres patrick andres is a staff writer on the breaking and trending news team at sports illustrated.

Caitlin Clark had the perfect reaction to major Iowa baby news

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (15 reads)

Long before caitlin clark became the face of the wnba and one of the most recognizable athletes in america, she was building lifelong relationships at the university of iowa. clarks record-breaking college career transformed the hawkeyes into one of the biggest stories in sports. While fans remember the unforgettable logo threes, sold-out arenas and back-to-back national championship game appearances, many of the people behind the scenes who helped tell clarks story remain close to the indiana fever superstar today. that was evident this week when clark quickly responded to a major personal announcement from one of iowas longtime athletic department staff members. big news from a familiar iowa face on wednesday, iowa athletics director of social media and digital strategy brandee saunders shared exciting news with family, friends and followers on instagram. Saunders announced that she and her husband, caleb, are expecting their first child together. The post featured ultrasound photos, baby shoes, matching mom and dad hats and a sign that read, baby saunders december 2026. it didnt take long for clark to notice. the fever star jumped into the comments section with a simple but heartfelt message. congrats!!!! Clark wrote. saunders later acknowledged the comment with a like, adding another public reminder of the bond the two built during clarks historic run in iowa city. more : kelsey plum admits she rehabbed like a maniac to get back on court the iowa connection remains strong few people played a bigger role in showcasing clarks rise than saunders. As iowas director of social media and digital strategy, saunders helped lead the digital content efforts that brought clarks biggest moments to millions of fans across the country. From record-breaking performances to viral highlights, iowas social media presence became one of the most influential brands in college athletics during clarks career. the relationship extended beyond simply posting highlights. Throughout her four seasons with the hawkeyes, clark developed close connections with coaches, teammates and staff members throughout the athletic department. Even after leaving for the wnba, those relationships have remained intact. thats one reason moments like this continue to hit home with iowa fans. clarks legacy at iowa still grows clarks impact on iowa basketball remains unmatched. The former hawkeyes star finished her collegiate career as the ncaas all-time leading scorer with 3,951 points while leading iowa to consecutive national championship game appearances. she left campus as one of the most decorated players in college basketball history and immediately carried that momentum into the professional ranks. After being selected no. 1 overall by the indiana fever in the 2024 wnba draft, clark helped lead the franchise back to the playoffs and captured wnba rookie of the year honors. today, she remains at the center of indianas championship aspirations. But as her reaction to saunders announcement showed, clark still makes time to celebrate the people who were part of her journey before the spotlight became even brighter. Sometimes, a simple congratulatory message is enough to remind everyone where those roots began. more wnba news

3-day-old infant was abandoned at a doorstep. 19 years later, shes co-starring w

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (15 reads)

One of northern irelands first adoptees is now making waves in the acting world more often than not, when we look at successful stars, we assume that they were dealt a winning hand from the start. They were born into privilege, industry connections, or at least a stable, predictable path. But northern irish actor thaddea grahams story began very differently. Abandoned as an infant and later adopted by a family in northern ireland, graham faced circumstances that could have defined the rest of her life. Instead, she grew up to share the screen with some of hollywoods biggest names, including julia roberts and george clooney. The actresss story came to light only recently in the independent, with a snippet also posted on their instagram (@the.Independent) on may 18, amassing over 3,400 likes. the 29-year-olds story began in central china, where her parents left her at the doorstep of a building in the vibrant city of changsha. Graham was all alone in a city with a population of over 10 million at just three days old. Anything couldve happened to her, but thankfully, she was spotted by a kind, unknown person who did what was right and took her to the authorities. Soon, after just her first birthday, this small chinese girl became one of the first international adoptees of ireland. she was adopted by a couple from belfast. It was a feat so unique that it actually helped her and her new parents feature on the bbc spotlight segment when she was just a toddler, according to screen daily. Soon, she moved to county down, where she then grew up and took her first steps toward a new life. However, obviously, it didnt come without challenges, as back in the 1990s, the asian population in northern ireland was almost non-existent. Still, the community did everything to make her feel she was no different from the rest of the kids. her teacher, mrs. Hanlon, played a huge role in this. She not only made her feel included, but also celebrated her chinese heritage. Amid all this, graham developed her likeness for the stage. From dancing to dramatics, she did it all growing up. So, when the time came for her to choose what she wanted to study in college, she decided to opt for a bachelor of arts in acting from the prestigious arts educational schools in london, as per the observer. It was there during the final year of her studies that she got her first major break. after countless rejections, graham landed her first role in sky ones dystopian thriller series called curfew. Since then, shes never looked back. She went on to appear in the 2022 romantic comedy ticket to paradise, sharing the screen with julia roberts and george clooney, before landing roles in shows such as bad sisters and apple tv+s latest drama margos got money troubles. Her latest movie after the hunt (2025) also stars julia roberts. Nonetheless, grahams story, inspiring as it is, also shines a light on a broader issue in northern ireland. According to corambaaf, 3,999 children were living under the care of local authorities. whats concerning is that out of these children, about 82% have been under continuous care for about a year or longer. Additionally, only about 97 out of these looked-after children were adopted, showcasing that people arent opting for adoption as much as they should. people were happy to see graham shine despite her tough childhood. Many of them extended their support to the rising star. @Nywinelady wrote, so so good in mgmt. Beautiful layered work. Funny character on the outside with so much heart and depth under the laughs. Loved watching her through margot’s and dad’s very different journeys... Meanwhile, @terriconraddesigns noted, i love watching her work! So, so talented. you can follow thaddea graham (@thaddeagraham) on instagram for more updates about her life. illinois woman adopted an abandoned child. Shes now one of the best athletes in the world man born without limbs and abandoned as a baby now inspires millions with makeup tutorials

Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 Episode 10 Recap and Ending Explained

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (14 reads)

The second season of appletv+’s ‘your friends and neighbors’ ends with coop finding himself caught up in yet another murder. After being blackmailed by owen ashe to do his bidding this entire season, coop finally decides to take charge of his situation. He tells coop that the excelsior investment is out of the picture, which sends ashe into a fit of rage that ends with him slipping and hitting his head on the ground so hard that he dies. The question now is what to do next, and what complicates matters is that this time, coop is not the only one making this decision. Nick and barney are in it with him. One would think that having one’s friends by their side at such a time would be helpful, but it ends up making things worse. Spoilers ahead. coop, nick, and barney deal with ashe’s body when ashe falls to his death, barney checks his pulse and concludes that he is dead. Nick’s first instinct is to call 911, but barney and coop advise against it. Coop points out that it looks rather shady with three of them standing over ashe’s dead body, especially when all of them had been connected to the guy in some way. When coop says he doesn’t want to go to prison for another death he is not responsible for, nick points out that they are, in fact, not responsible for it. Barney, however, points out that the cops might not necessarily see it that way. moreover, with nick being a star athlete, the case will quickly become national news, and the media and public interest it generates will not be good for anyone. At first, nick refuses to go along with their reasoning, but in the end, he has no other choice but to join them. It is decided that the best course of action will be to remove all traces of their presence, especially that of a fight between them and ashe. Together, they clean up the whole place, wipe fingerprints off, remove bullets from the walls, and leave cctv footage showing them doing all this on tape. when they are done, their next question is: what should they do with the body? At first, they think about just leaving it there. But coop refuses to let ashe’s daughter walk in on her dead father the next morning. No matter what scenario they think of, there is no way they can make his death look like an accident. So, they decide to throw the body in the river and let the current do its job. Right as they are carrying the body to the door, sam shows up. She was supposed to meet ashe earlier that evening, but she didn’t show up until now. She is shocked by the sight and tries to leave before she can get any more involved than she needs to. however, coop gets a hold of her and explains everything, despite her asking him to keep her out of it. She laments that ashe’s death will be connected to her somehow, given how her ex died last season. What makes it worse is that she just got out of the exile that the last scandal had put her through. Coop assures her this won’t happen because they are planning to throw the body in the river. Exasperated, she advises them against it. Instead, she points them towards a property that is being renovated. They should bury the body there since concrete will be poured there in the following week, and no one will be the wiser. is owen ashe’s body found? if there is no body, there is body crime, and whatever people think happened to ashe will be pure speculation. So, to end things permanently, coop, nick, and barney put the body in the car and drove towards the place sam told them about. On the way, ashe wakes up. It turns out barney hadn’t checked the body properly. Ashe is certainly alive, and now he is out for blood. He attacks barney, prompting coop to tackle him, while nick drives the car. The chaos leads nick to lose control of the vehicle, which falls into the lake. Coop, barney, and nick make it out of the water while the car drops to the bottom of the lake. when ashe doesn’t come out, they take it as a sign that he is dead, for good this time. They wonder if this means his death can be considered an accident. This is a good idea, but the problem is that ashe is in the backseat. So, they go back into the water and put ashe in the driver’s seat. While there is a good chance the car won’t be found, even if it is, it will look like ashe died in an accident. With the matter concluded, the three of them return to their homes, with coop noting the famous quote about three keeping a secret when two of them are dead. His concerns prove right as nick starts to spiral with guilt and refuses to talk to, let alone listen to, them. it is also revealed that the fbi investigated the case and interviewed everyone, but they found nothing. As the days pass, it seems they have survived the worst of it, though their own lives start unraveling because of the secrets they keep. Theories and rumors start to take a round around the town, especially as ashe’s work as an arms dealer comes into the picture. Some think he ran away, but there is also a good number of people who think he is dead. At least, his daughter thinks so. She reveals that she hated her father because she knew he did bad things. But she also knows that if he went on the run, he wouldn’t have left her behind. she leaves to live with her aunt, bidding hunter goodbye, probably for good. Just when it seems the worst is over, the episode ends with a man fishing in the lake. He is there to catch fish, but he seems to have caught something else entirely. It is not confirmed whether it’s ashe’s body he has chanced upon, but given how unlucky coop is and how much drama the investigation will generate, it is fair to assume that ashe has been found, and the next season will focus on the investigation into his death. This doesn’t spell well for nick and barmey, especially with nick drowning in his guilt. what happens to elena? Why does she have nick’s house robbed? coop’s entanglement with ashe has an adverse effect on elena. With no more robberies, she loses her source of income. What makes matters worse is that, on barney’s advice, she threw her money into nick’s gym, which she cannot get back now. She needed the money to bail out her brother, who had run away and gone missing since then. Because she didn’t have her own money, she had to borrow it from felix, and now, he wants it back. She tried to hold him off as much as possible, but he is getting impatient, and she needs to give him something. in the finale, she returns to coop and barney to ask for her money back. Previously, they told her she couldn’t get it because ashe’s people were looking into the gym’s finances before investing in it. Now that ashe is gone, so is his investment in nick’s gym, but nick is not ready to give the money back. Since they disposed of ashe’s dead body, he has been on edge. He worries that the truth will come to light and he will be arrested for murder. He doesn’t want to do anything that raises suspicion, which is why he is not letting anyone touch the money yet. Barney and coop try to assure him that everything will be fine. while nick may have been questioned by the cops, it was simply due process. Everyone who knew ashe was questioned. So, there is no chance that anyone is monitoring nick, especially his finances. However, he is not convinced and makes it clear that he will only get the money out when the whole thing blows over. Coop and barney cannot tell elena why nick is refusing to give her money back, just as they cannot tell nick that it’s elena’s money they want to take out. So, they ask her to wait a little, but she is out of time. with no other option, elena opens the doors of nick’s house to felix. He was supposed to come alone, and it was supposed to be like the way she and coop stole things. But felix is not subtle. He brings his crew, who take more than they need and break things in the process. When elena tries to stop them, felix punches her in the face, saying that he needed to do this so the cops would think she was attacked by the burglars. With this, elena’s debt might be clear, but that doesn’t mean she is entirely free of felix just yet. why did demille return the money to coop? Whose money is it? when ashe dies, coop returns the $600 million to his estate, believing he is finally free. He goes back to focusing on his family. Sam, who is planning to leave the town for good even though coop asks her not to, finds ali’s apartment. Coop visits his sister, is glad to discover she is doing well, and spends the night at her place. Later, he attends the father’s day celebration at the club. He is happy to discover that tori has decided she wants to go to college after all, even if it might not be princeton anymore. Things get a bit heated between nick, who gets too drunk, and barney, who tries to stop him. nick fires barney, and they start fighting each other in front of everyone. Coop tries to intervene, but it doesn’t help. The night ends with grace confronting barney about his lies. When he doesn’t tell the truth, she tells him to move out of the house. Coop goes to the bowling alley, where he and mel start talking about whether they really need all this money, which in turn prompts her to press him for the truth. She, too, has sensed that something is going on, though she doesn’t know what. Earlier, she had been asked by her agent to write a book about what happened to her family in season 1. at the time, she didn’t want to do it because it was too personal, but at the end of the episode, we see her starting to write something, which means she might be ready to tell it to the world. She makes this decision after coop doesn’t confide in her, and then she watches him talk to a mysterious man. The man that coop talked to was demille. He came back to give coop the flash drive with the video of him stealing the book from ashe’s house. He also came to tell him that he has wired the money back into coop’s account, meaning they are not done yet. the thing is that it wasn’t all ashe’s money, and with what coop did with excelsior, the others (who are much bigger fish than ashe) might want him to do the same with theirs. Coop also points out the part about his kidnapping, but demille claims he has no idea what that’s about. If demille isn’t lying, someone else has his eyes on coop. This means that even with ashe’s death, the danger is not gone yet. If anything, coop has gotten even more entangled in the world of crime, and there is no going back. read more: is owen ashe dead?

Understanding Gerry McNamaras First Message to SU Basketball Team

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (14 reads)

The orange kicked off their summer session on wednesday, which meant he got to address his team on the court. the syracuse university mens basketball team kicked off its summer session of practice on wednesday, which meant that new head coach gerry mcnamara got to address his team on the floor for the first time. and syracuse fans got a look at mcnamaras first message via a video that the program posted on x. you can listen to it below, but lets break down the basics of what he had to say to his team. hes going to push this group mcnamara said that his coaching staff is going to push this team because they believe that this group can do what he envisions for them. that might seem hard to believe for a syracuse fanbase that has seen its team miss the ncaa tournament for five straight years, but mcnamara took a 4-28 siena program to the tournament in two years, so he knows what it takes to get the job done. talk about discipline in just a 30+ second clip, mcnamara stressed the importance of discipline. He understands that every player is excited on the first day of practice, but he said that it takes discipline to be able to bring that same level of energy every single day. and hes right. Greatness is not something you can achieve by working hard sporadically. You have to be able to focus and be intentional in your preparation every single day. thats what it will take to turn the orange from the 15-17 team they were in 2025-26 to the eventual ncaa tournament team that mcnamara wants to be. also on the mens basketball front --syracuse and providence officially announced their matchup on tuesday. The friars and orange will take the floor at the td garden, the home of the nbas boston celtics, on dec. 19. That should be right before the start of the atlantic coast conference (acc) season, which began on dec. 31 in 2025. the matchup will be a part of an event dubbed as the hall of fame series. The event is partnering with the naismith basketball hall of fame to showcase a day of college basketball action. The naismith basketball hall of fame is located in springfield, mass., Less than 100 miles away from the td garden. uconn and michigan will play the other game in the series. That will be a national title game rematch. --mcnamara has said hes spoken to uconn head coach dan hurley about reigniting the teams big east rivalry. We discussed why thats not really possible.... Yet. join the conversation remember to join our syracuse on roundtable community, which is free!

WSU Student Finds Lost Apple Variety on Study Break

Posted on Friday, June 05 @ 00:01:23 PDT (14 reads)

Pullman, wash. — Sometimes a hidden gem can be found right next door. one day last fall, washington state university student tayettin brodzinski needed a study break. An unanticipated result of her break was the discovery of an heirloom apple thought to be extinct that was once the prize variety of the early 1900s. brodzinski, who graduated from wsu in may with a bachelor’s degree in landscape, nursery, and greenhouse management and a minor in horticulture, wasn’t looking for an exotic fruit. She just needed a walk at her normal stress-relief location. “i lived near lawson gardens and it’s a great place to take a relaxing walk,” said brodzinski, who will start work on a master’s degree in horticulture at wsu this fall. during the walk, an assignment from her horticulture genetics class was also on brodzinski’s mind: finding a leaf sample from an apple tree she didn’t already know the variety of. Approaching the garden entrance, she happened to notice an apple tree in a nearby lawn. “i had been walking to the garden for over a year and never noticed that tree was an apple tree,” brodzinski said. “They looked like golden delicious apples, but i wasn’t sure, so i grabbed a leaf and took it to class.” professor cameron peace had each student place their sample in a special tube so it wouldn’t dry out and could be genetically tested. All but one of the samples from the class came back with a genetic signature from a known variety. Brodzinski’s couldn’t be identified, making her and peace curious. the genetics matched other samples found by apple sleuths and scientists in other states, which turned out to be walbridge apples. “dr. Peace said, ‘do you know what you’ve found?’” Brodzinski said. “I said i thought it was just a golden delicious, but he was really excited.” her discovery shows the importance of hands-on investigations by wsu students, said raj khosla, cashup davis family endowed dean of wsu’s college of agricultural, human, and natural resource sciences (cahnrs). “this is a fantastic find for a student to make, especially in a course about genetics,” he said. “I’m excited that cahnrs faculty such as dr. Peace are challenging our students and creating opportunities that encourages students to make their own discoveries in the field. I’m also excited to try a walbridge apple!” walbridge was once renowned throughout the intermountain west and the pacific northwest, winning numerous awards at county fairs. Originating in illinois in the early 1800s, the variety was very popular in the midwest before moving west with settlers. It thrived in the western states, from colorado to washington, where it was planted in the thousands and praised for its cold hardiness, resilience, reliability, and shelf stability. over time, walbridge fell into obscurity and was eventually forgotten. Industrial-scale production of limited apple varieties took over markets nationally, replacing walbridge and many other popular heirloom varieties. for over a decade, peace and other apple preservationists with the lost apple project and the montezuma orchard restoration project actively sought to find the lost walbridge apple. “we assumed that, due to its historical popularity, it must still exist, waiting to be rediscovered,” peace said. most historic fruit tree varieties in north america have gone extinct. To prevent further loss of history and diversity, the historic fruit tree working group of north america (hftwg) was formed. The group’s goal is to find, verify, document, preserve, and support the recovery of genetically diverse heirloom varieties. The hftwg coordinates collaborative efforts to dna-test thousands of apple trees in old orchards, backyards, collections, and national parks. for years, researchers with the historic fruit tree working group tracked an unidentified dna profile that kept appearing in regions where walbridge was once widely grown. The profile was found on several old trees across the west, including the tree brodzinski discovered near lawson gardens and another fruiting tree in new mexico. fruit from both trees was examined by apple identification experts, while researchers compared genetic, historical, and physical evidence from 13 trees sharing the same dna profile. The group concluded the long-lost walbridge apple is a “very likely match.” While additional evidence is still being sought, members say they are confident walbridge has been rediscovered. the apple is now being propagated to safely preserve it, enabling its renewed cultivation and enjoyment while providing useful genetics for future new varieties. the lucky few who have eaten the fruit this past season agree it is quite tasty and makes a rich cider. That includes brodzinski, who said it tastes like a combination of granny smith and cosmic crisp® apples. “those are two of my favorite apples. I enjoyed it quite a bit, even though i’m not really a big apple eater,” she said. — scott weybright, college of agricultural, human, and natural resource sciences washington state university
