phmacao app AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Any Texas or Texas A&M player has heard the lore of the rivalry between the two schools, a grudge match that dates to 1894. But for more than a decade — two generations of college football players — that's all it has been: Ghostly memories of great games and great plays made by heroes of the distant past. That changes this week when one of college football's great rivalries is reborn. Third-ranked Texas (10-1, 6-1) and No. 20 Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2) meet Saturday night for the first time since 2011, with a berth in the Southeastern Conference championship game on the line . “Guys that have been in my position and bleed burnt orange, they have not gotten to play this game,” said Texas fourth-year junior safety Michael Taaffe, who grew up in Austin. “Remember them when you step on Kyle Field.” For Aggies fans, who have carried the misery of Texas' 27-25 win in 2011, getting the Longhorns back in front of a frenzied crowd in College Station is a chance for some serious payback. “I was born and raised an Aggie, so I’ve been dreaming about playing in this game my whole life,” Texas A&M offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III said. Zuhn played high school football in Colorado, but his parents and grandparents attended A&M. At SEC media days back in August, Zuhn said his family would turn Texas gear upside down in stores. He keeps a picture of a longhorn in his room, hanging upside down, of course. “It should be the most amazing atmosphere that I’ve ever experienced,” Zuhn said. "I can’t wait for that, and I feel bad for Texas having to play in that." Texas players said they are ready. “That place is going to be rocking,” Texas senior cornerback Jahdae Barron said. “It's good to go on the road and play in hostile environments.” The Longhorns have overcome big and loud road crowds before. They won at Alabama in 2023. They won at Michigan and Arkansas, another old rival, this year. The Longhorns have won 10 in a row on an opponent’s home field. “When the hate is on us, we love it. We enjoy it,” Taaffe said. But some former Texas players say the current group has faced nothing like what awaits them in College Station. Playing at Texas A&M is more than just noise and a lot of “Horns down” hand signals. The “Aggie War Hymn” fight song calls for Aggies to “Saw varsity’s horns off." Beating Texas is their passion, said former Longhorns All-American offensive lineman Dan Neil, who won at Texas A&M in in 1995. He calls that win one of the best of his career. “I was done showering and getting ready to leave, and their fans were still standing outside the locker room screaming and throwing things,” he said. “The (Texas) players have no idea what they are walking into. They have no clue. No one on that team has walked into that stadium in burnt orange.” The rivalry broke up when Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC in 2012. The Aggies have twice finished tied for second but have otherwise found little success there. Texas is in its first year in the SEC and has smashed its way to the top. Texas is the only SEC team with one loss this late in the season, which would make beating Texas that much sweeter for A&M. “The hype is definitely saying it's a rivalry. History says it's a rivalry, but for us, it's the football game we have this week,” Texas senior center Jake Majors said. “It's important for us to not let the environment, the game, get the best of us. ... I get to go out there and play not only for me and my team, but for the guys who came before me, so that's a true honor to have.” Even though the game hasn't been played since 2011, there has always been an element of the rivalry simmering under the surface, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said. Elko is in his first year as the Aggies' coach, but he was the Texas A&M defensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher from 2018-2021. “Even though it hasn’t been played, it just doesn’t feel like it’s ever really left the fabric. I really don’t think it’s as removed from the psyche as maybe it feels,” Elko said. “I think our kids are very much aware of what this is all about.” Rieken reported from College Station, Texas.

Dobbins suffered a sprained knee during the Chargers’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night and is likely to be sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday he “didn’t really know how to categorize” the injury, however. “He’s working through something with his knee,” Harbaugh added. The NFL Network, citing an unnamed source, said Dobbins would be out this week. Dobbins gained 40 yards on six carries before he was sidelined in the second quarter of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss on Monday. The Chargers turned to Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins in Dobbins’ absence in the second half, but relied almost exclusively on their passing game after trailing 14-13 at halftime. The Chargers (7-4) rushed only five times in the second half. Overall, Edwards had nine carries for 11 yards and one touchdown and Haskins had one carry for 3 yards. Quarterback Justin Herbert rushed four times for 29 yards and one touchdown, a 5-yard scramble on the Chargers’ first drive of the game. Edwards’ 1-yard touchdown run came on their final possession. “Gus is heating up,” Harbaugh said. “Great to have him back in there.” Edwards has rushed for 206 yards and one touchdown on 63 carries in seven games, spending four games on injured reserve because of an ankle injury. Harbaugh was uncertain whether Dobbins’ injury would force him onto the injured reserve list and a minimum of a four-game layoff. “Don’t know that yet,” Harbaugh said of the possibility of Dobbins going on IR. Haskins has rushed for 26 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries, primarily playing an impactful role on special teams. Rookie Kimani Vidal, another possible replacement for Dobbins, has rushed for 44 yards on 18 carries and caught three passes for 49 yards and one touchdown. Dobbins has rushed for a team-leading 766 yards (fourth in the AFC) and eight touchdowns on 156 carries. He and Edwards signed with the Chargers in the offseason as free agents after starting their careers with the Ravens. Dobbins, 25, has had an injury-plagued career, but hasn’t missed a game so far this season. His 2023 season ended early after he sustained a torn Achilles tendon in the Ravens’ season opener. Herbert is the Chargers’ second-leading rusher with 211 yards and two touchdowns on 45 carries, most coming on scrambles away from on-rushing defenders. He set a career-high with a 38-yard scramble in the first quarter of the Chargers’ 26-8 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 27. Cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. hasn’t played since the Chargers’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3, placed on injured reserve because of a shoulder injury. Harbaugh declined to speculate whether Samuel would be sidelined for the remainder of the season, referring questions to Samuel. Samuel isn’t required to speak to reporters while on IR. So, his extended absence has been something of a mystery. However, his absence has opened the door for rookies Cam Hart and Tarheeb Still to move into the starting lineup. Hart is sidelined by an ankle injury that required him to wear a protective boot while watching Monday’s game from the sideline. Still has been a reliable fill-in with 33 tackles and one interception. “No, I don’t expect him back this week,” Harbaugh said of Samuel. Related Articles In somewhat related moves, the Chargers placed cornerback Eli Apple on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury suffered against the Ravens. They also claimed safety Marcus Maye off of waivers. Maye played 11 games this season with the Miami Dolphins, who cut him earlier this week. Maye started three games and had 30 tackles overall for the Dolphins. Wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. started the season on injured reserve, but he hasn’t cracked the lineup consistently after recovering from a hip injury. Chark was active for only one game this season, the Chargers’ Nov. 10 victory over the Tennessee Titans , and he was on the field for only one snap. “The opportunity is there, the opportunity is there,” Harbaugh said of Chark, a seven-year NFL veteran. “I really like what I see. Every week, there’s an opportunity. Opportunities are guaranteed, and DJ has the license and opportunity to take advantage of that opportunity.”EL SEGUNDO — Running back J.K.

The SS United States may be sunk in the near future, but its memories live on through those who experienced it. Despite great efforts to revamp the iconic ocean liner, following a lawsuit, the SS United States Conservancy entered into an agreement with Okaloosa County, Florida, to sink the mammoth ship and turn it into the world's largest artificial reef. It was set to travel to Alabama for sinking preparations in November, but the trip was delayed due to logistics and weather. Okaloosa County canceled the original plan to move the ship starting Nov. 15. A new date has not yet been set, but Coast Guard documents say the ship might not be fit to make the trip from Philadelphia. Rumors of last-minute efforts to bring the SS United States to New York City are false, Okaloosa County spokesman Nick Tomacek told the Delaware News Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network. Why is the SS United States important? The SS United States hit the water in 1952 as "an ambassador of America’s post-war industrial power and a technological marvel," the SS United States Conservancy website says. Developed by United States Lines and the U.S. government, the ship was part luxurious passenger liner, hosting a slew of celebrities, and part secret weapon, the website says. It still holds the transatlantic speed record and, at the time, was able to transport more troops further, without refueling, than ever before. Background: Massive, historic 'America's flagship' must leave Philadelphia port. But where can it go? The ship was retired in 1969 as transatlantic flights became more common. It changed hands numerous times after that, landing with the conservancy in 2011. Now, the SS United States is America's only remaining "great ocean liner," the website says. The historic vessel's final journey has brought to top of mind, for many, fond memories of their time on the celebrated ship. Here are some of their stories. Sailing with Ava Gardner Rose Thacker was 10 years old when she made a round trip between New York City to Le Havre, France, in the summer of 1966. Thacker was too young to understand her celebrity, but actress Ava Gardner shared the ship with her both times. Gardner was one of many celebrities to grace the ship's decks. "It was a huge boat, let me tell you," Thacker said. Thacker recalled the ship's movie theater, where she could "pop in" anytime, she said. She had just learned to swim so she loved the large swimming pool, she said. At dinnertime in the banquet hall, "everybody dressed up," she said, and the captain sat with different tables every night. Thacker still has some of ship's printed menus. "It was quite an experience. It was like a floating city," she said. She was pregnant on board "I was in a little tin horn driving to the big city and then I saw this immense ship and I was just like, 'Oh my God,' " 89-year-old Doris Pethel, of Newark, recalled. She was 22 and six months pregnant when she boarded the SS United States in New York City to visit her husband, an airman stationed in Wethersfield, England, in September 1957. "I got a little seasick, but I heard that if you kept your eyes on the horizon you'd feel better, and so it was," she said. Pethel shared a cabin with three other women, visited the library, sat with other "singles" at mealtimes and frequently checked in with the purser's office to get updates on the ship's progress, she said. While in England, Pethel gave birth. When she returned to the U.S. aboard another historic ship, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, she had a six-week-old infant with her. "I am so sorry that the (SS) United States is no more, but I have a great memory of my trip on it," she said. She hopes to get to see the ship as it travels down the Delaware River and Bay. She couldn't wait to get off the ship Renate Koerner also was pregnant when she voyaged from Bremerhaven, Germany, to America on the SS United States in March of 1961. Her seasickness was much worse than Pethel's. "I was sick for all five days on the way over," the now 88-year-old Koerner said. "I didn't come out of my cabin until we got to New York. I think about it every March." Koerner now lives in Brick Township, New Jersey, but she grew up on the Baltic Sea, she said. She had never been seasick before and was very excited to be on the SS United States, she said, but there was a "big, big storm" on the Atlantic during her passage, causing her extreme nausea. Women in nearby cabins brought her and another pregnant woman food and water, Koerner said, but eventually a stewardess came and forced them to come out and get some fresh air. "That made us even more sick," Koerner said. "I was so mad I couldn't enjoy anything. I couldn't wait to get off that boat." Christmas on the SS United States Steven Perlin was born in Switzerland while his father was attending school there, he said. In December 1959, a 2-year-old Perlin, his brother and his mother took the SS United States from Le Havre, France, back to America. The crossing was rough, Perlin recalled. "I remember a crew member warning my brother and I off from the elevators as they were closed due to the weather," he said. Perlin has a photo of Santa Claus giving him a present aboard the ship, the only known photo of Santa on the ship, he said. The gift "was some sort of mechanical race car contraption which I remember being quite fond of," he said. Perlin was able to tour the ship earlier this year, which he said was a "great privilege." Dr. United States Thomas Coleman of Carbondale, Pennsylvania, died in 2000, but in the 1950s and 1960s, he was an SS United States physician, according to his daughter, Ellen Hamilton. Coleman's family often went with him to the harbor in New York City to see him off, Hamilton said, and they were allowed to board the ship to see his cabin and office. "It was a wonderful experience for my dad. He enjoyed the mix of work, fine dining and seeing the world," Hamilton said. "My mother was the true hero in this story as she was home with seven children. My only wish was that my mom could accompany him on these great adventures." She saw toured ship as it was being built Dororthy Colburn was about 10 years old when her father, who worked in administration for the U.S. Navy, was invited to visit the ship as it was being built. "It was really big, walking beside it to get to the little bridge that went in, but inside it was enormous, bigger than my whole world," the 86-year-old New Castle resident said. No photographs were allowed, but Colburn has vivid memories of the galley. "Nothing resembled the kitchen in our house. I had never walked into a refrigerator!" she said. "Everything was shinymetal. We were told that the only wood on the entire ship was the chef's cutting block." The ship's architect, William Francis Gibbs, wanted a fireproof ship and insisted no wood be used in construction, according to the SS United States Conservancy website. The exception was the ship's pianos, made from fire-resistant mahogany. Do you have memories of the SS United States? Shannon Marvel McNaught would love to hear them.

Hyundai Motor and Kia's Robotics LAB Announce Plans to Launch 'X-ble Shoulder' at Wearable Robot Tech Day

Investigation of disappearance of children in Ecuador was delayed for days despite video evidence

This time a year ago, it would have been hard to imagine my personal experiences in motorsports over the next 12 months. At that time, I’d made a decision to take an offer for a severance package from the Johnson City Press and Kingsport Times News and figured it was the end of my career as a sports writer. Contemplating my future, I got an unexpected phone call. Sixteen-time NHRA Funny Car champion John Force was on the other end and he was looking for a new public relations representative. The next couple of days were a whirlwind with Force flying me to his Brownsburg, Indiana shop for an interview with him and three-time champion Robert Hight. The interview seemed to go well as Force had his business manager and social media manager take me on a shop tour. Obviously I didn’t get the job, but was grateful to be considered for the position. Force had a major accident in June, just one week after the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol. His future in the race car is still up in the air, as it is for Hight, who announced weeks later he was stepping aside as a driver for health reasons. That was just January. I was working at my part-time job from home in February, but also started doing public relations for Kingsport Speedway. It was a good experience in getting media attention for the drivers and track, but frustrating with how I was striking out with potential sponsors. Being away from the newspapers, I was able to take part in Daytona 500 media day and attend races at Speedweeks. It’s something I’ve not been able to do the last three decades as the races fall the same time as the high school basketball playoffs. Thankfully, I was offered a return to the newspapers full-time in March and the Food City 500 ranked as the most interesting race I’ve ever covered. Tires coming apart made it a great race in my opinion, although a certain segment of the fans complained. It forced the teams and drivers to adjust throughout the race. Denny Hamlin emerged the winner after a record 54 lead changes. The end of March also marked the season opener at Kingsport Speedway. The big news at Kingsport in April was the Late Model racers would be competing in twin features the rest of the season. It gave the racers more chances to win and the fans more action. Volunteer Speedway had its season opener in May. Travis Fultz from Harrogate held off Johnson City driver Tim Maupin in the Sportsman Late Model feature to highlight the night’s action. The SuperGrip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals again delivered great racing at Bristol Dragway in June. Eight-time Top Fuel world champion Tony Schumacher won the Top Fuel class, while Austin Prock represented the Force team in winning Funny Car. A week later, the Force crash happened at Richmond, bringing forth a wide range of emotions. Matthew Burkeen from North Carolina and Kyle Bitterman from South Carolina captured the main events at the Tennessee State Championships held at Muddy Creek Raceway in July. Dale McDowell won the Southern Nationals at Volunteer Speedway that Sunday night, while Scott Bloomquist was running a strong third before mechanical problems. That turned out to be the final major race for Bloomquist, who was killed in a plane crash at his Hawkins County farm on August 16. Tributes from throughout the racing world poured in for Bloomquist, considered by many as the greatest dirt late model driver of all-time. As entertaining as the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway was, the Bass Pro Shops Night Race in September was just as boring with little tire wear. Kyle Larson dominated the race, leading 462 laps, a number not seen since the 1970s when races were often won by multiple laps. My part-time job takes precedence for a weekend in October with the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals in Mississippi. It’s always special seeing the Sportsman champions across North America come to the event and how much the event means to them. Bobby Allison, my favorite race car driver and sports hero growing up, died in November. It brought back a flood of memories, most of them great ones. I particularly remember the day when Bobby and his wife Judy were at Kingsport Speedway to see their grandson, Robbie, win his first race. December has brought more unknowns with the news that IHRA has been sold to Ohio businessman Darryl Cuttell. That’s a story worth following with more big announcements coming soon. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another busy year on the local front. There are the major events at Bristol as well as the DER Bracket Series. Great weekly short track action is at Kingsport and a busier schedule at Volunteer Speedway. And if you haven’t visited the renovated Newport Speedway, it’s a trip well worth it.
