Portland picked up two red cards and still won 2-0, and it didn't look particularly difficult. The chaos started in the fifth minute, when Reilyn Turner found Cassandra Bogere in a far-too-open spot at the top of the box who then blasted a dangerous shot at Claudia Dickey.
A dire white paper published by three administrators at the University of Louisville about how manifestly untenable and economically punitive the current state of college sports is, even for elite programs. The report is indeed very dire, and accurate insofar as it assesses that, whatever the future of college sports is, it's probably won't involve the NCAA and is also unlikely to get easier for non-elite institutions in an increasingly consolidating national business.
A resolution that came before the college's Academic Senate in 2021 criticized the Claim Jumper mascot as an image of the gold rush culturally associated with stealing and clandestine activities and as such not aligned with the college's values.
Howard University's sports have been a punchline or worse my whole life, and since before I was even around, and that's a mighty long time. I learned too much about Howard's athletic awfulness when I covered D.C. sports for Washington City Paper beginning in the 1990s.

Wash.a city north of Seattle that claims to be the original home of the name seahawk for its high school mascotthe name arose as a nickname for the osprey because of its talons that are uniquely fit to catch fish. Ospreys go by other names, too, including river hawk and fish hawk, and they embark on these long, arduous journeys and have to survive a lot of obstacles, says Robert Domenech, executive director of the Raptor View Research Institute in Montana.
Gonzaga's +611 scoring differential (outscoring opponents by 19.7 points per game) is a result of scoring 86.0 points per game (15th in college basketball) while allowing 66.3 per contest (22nd in college basketball). The Bulldogs are averaging 86.0 points, 11.6 more than the Beavers give up.
In one of the most unexpected Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, the consensus expectations are fairly one-sided. The Seahawks have firmly established themselves as one of the NFL's true elite teams. They have dismantled overmatched opponents and manuevered their way into making pivotal plays in high-leverage situations to beat the league's best. Despite all the concerns surrounding Sam Darnold, his confidence must be sky-high after his stellar performance against the Rams.
