Colorado football players danced in the locker room and celebrated following Saturday’s thriller in Fort Worth, Texas.Buff Nation had plenty of reasons to party after a 45-42 upset of No. 17 TCU in the debut game for first-year head coach Deion Sanders.Not only did the Buffs kick off the Coach Prime era in style, but they quieted some doubters, and they weren’t shy about enjoying that aspect of the day.“Nobody believed is us,” said sophomore cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter. “The only people that believe us are the people in the facility.”Yet, even as the Buffs talked about the receipts they’ve kept, Sanders knew the game was far from perfect. It was a memorable day, but the Buffs (1-0) have a lot of work ahead as they prepare to face long-time rival Nebraska (0-1) on Saturday at Folsom Field (10 a.m., Fox).“I’m not gonna say it was fun,” Sanders said of Saturday’s win. “It was satisfying in the end. You’ve got to understand, the second time ticks off the clock, I’m ready for the n...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — This is how the San Diego Padres envisioned they’d be playing all season long. Unfortunately for them, it came a few months too late to likely make a difference.Juan Soto homered for the third straight game and Manny Machado also connected for the Padres, who beat San Francisco 4-0 on Sunday to win the final three games of a four-game series against the wild card-contending Giants. San Francisco dropped into a tie with Arizona, Miami and Cincinnati for the third wild-card spot.The Padres hit eight homers in the three wins against the Giants, including at least one each by their so-called big four of Soto, Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts.The Padres came into the season with World Series aspirations and talk of a parade after a stirring run to the NL Championship Series last fall and then beefing up their payroll to about $250 million, third-largest in the majors. But they’ve been a massive disappointment most of the year, struggling offens...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The numerous injuries across the Dodgers’ pitching staff sometimes seem to be an insurmountable barrier to playoff success. Los Angeles’ inferior arm quality was glaring while the Atlanta Braves took the first three games in this showdown series between the NL’s top two teams.And then Bobby Miller stepped up in the finale and pitched a gem that reminded the Dodgers anything is possible if these teams meet again in October.The rookie right-hander threw a career-best seven innings of three-hit ball, and Los Angeles avoided a four-game sweep with a 3-1 victory Sunday.Miller (9-3) underlined his ace potential with this effort against the powerhouse Braves in his 17th career start.

Early lab tests suggest new COVID-19 variant BA.2.86 may be less contagious and less immune-evasive than feared

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:38 GMT

(CNN) — Scientists around the world are fast-tracking lab experiments to try to understand the highly mutated BA.2.86 variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. Results just beginning to emerge are offering some reassurance, experts say.Two groups — one in China and one in Sweden — have publicly reported results, and more are expected as early as Monday from the United States. So far, early results paint BA.2.86 as more of a paper tiger rather than the looming beast it first appeared to be, although that impression could change as more results come in.BA.2.86, also known by the nickname Pirola, captured the world’s attention because it looks radically different than any other variants of the coronavirus that we’ve seen so far.This new lineage has more than 30 changes to its spike protein compared with both its next closest ancestor, BA.2, and compared with the recently circulating XBB.1.5 lineage. It was an evolutionary leap on par with the one the original Omicron variant...
