    BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

    Week 4 college football thread: How Sooner is Now?

    As soon as the MAC builds some momentum with Northern Illinois' victory over Notre Dame and Toledo's romp over Miss State, both trip up. NIU falls to Buffalo in OT, while UToledo squanders a lead at Western Kentucky. Simply put, the MAC is a league that can't have good things. Especially...

    BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

    When UMass announced it was going to the MAC, there was some chatter that the MAC might take UConn for football only, with the caveat that a scheduling arrangement be made for 3-5 men's and women's basketball games annually -- including games MAC teams would host. Toledo's attendance in women's...

    WTH is happening in Pittsburgh?

    The NLRB formally files for a 10-J injunction. If successful, this puts the expired contract back into effect and will force the P-G to pay damages. It's not something the NLRB does often...

    Thanks again, AP

    UPDATE: Outage has to do with an AP upgrade. Thought it was local, but it seems to be more widespread. Anyone else have AP wire loss since just before 8 p.m Eastern? We haven't gotten anything new on our main feed, our photo wire, or AP Newsroom...

    Longtime Toledo coach Tricia Cullop in final talks to become head coach at Miami-Coral Gables. Won a WNIT title a few years back, led Toledo to a MAC title and first-round upset of Iowa State a year ago and reached the WNIT quarterfinals this year. Toledo also has one of the top 30 home...

    Newspaper holiday parties thread

    The paper I worked at in the former Freedom chain (RIP) had some blowout Christmas parties. I've worked in three chains since. Maybe one holiday party between them in nearly two decades. And I had to miss it since I was on the desk that night.

    WNBA closing locker rooms

    The local Triple-A team has cut off all pregame access, both locker room and BP. Really cuts back on the amount of feature work that can be done ... and, in turn, coverage.
