DENVER (KDVR) — With all of the hype surrounding Coach Prime and the new-look Colorado football program, the experts in Vegas remain skeptical.CU is projected to win just a handful of games this year, with the over/under at multiple sportsbooks set at 3.5 wins.

And a lot of it has to do with ...

BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — The excitement continues on and off the University of Colorado Boulder campus as the Coach Prime era officially begins on Saturday morning. Last December, Deion Sanders was named the head football coach for the Colorado Buffaloes. On Saturday, the team opens the 2023-24 collegiate football season at an away game versus Texas Christian University.

Back to football: CU Buffaloes games, watch parties Over at Holy Crepe, owners Eric Albuisson and Lisa McLaws were busy Friday preparing meals for takeout. "I think he (Sanders) pumps up his own team and, also, the whole business in Boulder," Albuisson said.Albuisson said at least one Buffaloes coach is a regular customer. Albuisson hopes the head coach himself will soon stop by for a meal."We're all here to support him 100%. We're all behind him," Albuisson said. Kickoff is set for S...

Orioles bested by former prospects Zach Davies, Christian Walker in 4-2 loss to Diamondbacks

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:25:02 GMT

Two of Baltimore’s top prospects in 2015 led their team to victory Friday.That team just wasn’t the Orioles.Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zach Davies and first baseman Christian Walker handed Baltimore a 4-2 loss to open the weekend series at Chase Field.Five days after the Orioles were blanked by Colorado Rockies pitcher Ty Blach, a left-hander whose brief performance for Baltimore during its rebuild was one of the club’s worst, Davies did the same. Davies, who spent the first four years of his professional career in the Orioles’ minor league system, entered the game as one of the least effective pitchers in the major leagues. But he shut down his former organization, twirling six innings of one-run ball for just his second win of the season.After scoring a run in the first inning, the Orioles’ bats couldn’t muster another one until the eighth inning. Both runs scored on two-out hits from Ryan O’Hearn to score Gunnar Henderson. But Austin Ha...

Lowry: Vivek Ramaswamy offers up Jan. 6 fantasy

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:25:02 GMT

Vivek Ramaswamy thinks Mike Pence failed.The former vice president is a MAGA villain for doing his constitutional duty on Jan. 6, so Ramaswamy has to find a way to wiggle out of endorsing his conduct on that day, no matter how convoluted or inane.On “Meet the Press” the other day, he went with an alternative-reality critique of Pence. According to Ramaswamy, the then-vice president missed “a historic opportunity.” Pence could have forged “a national compromise” by leading the way on an election-reform package of single-day voting on Election Day (which would become a federal holiday), paper ballots, and government-issued ID.And that’s what Ramaswamy would have done — forge “national consensus,” whereas Pence missed his chance to “reunite” the country.As it happens, the only parties to whom Ramaswamy’s posited grand bargain would have been unsatisfactory are a) the United States Congress and b) President Do...

Dean: Supreme Court has weakened U.S. patents, cue Congress

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:25:02 GMT

The Supreme Court has handed down momentous decisions over the past two decades on a variety of hot-button issues — from reproductive rights and affirmative action to campaign finance and the Affordable Care Act.But some of the most consequential rulings — for our physical well-being, our economic vitality, and even our national security — have flown under the radar.For years, the justices have steadily chipped away at long-standing intellectual property rights. By doing so, they’ve unintentionally stymied investment into critical industries, from medical diagnostics to artificial intelligence, that will determine our health, wealth, and security for much of the 21st century.Take, for instance, Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories. Prometheus Labs had sued the Mayo Clinic for violating a patent on a diagnostic test for gastrointestinal disease. The Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that the Mayo Clinic had, in fact, infringed Prometheus’ pat...

The ‘Future’ is now for Duran Duran on tour

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:25:02 GMT

John Taylor was sitting in a bar in some student union when he heard a song that changed his life. But before Taylor could digest the enormity of the tune, the Duran Duran bassist heard another song. It also changed his life.“I remember a Sex Pistols song coming on the jukebox, and then a Chic song coming on the jukebox,” Taylor told the Herald ahead of Duran Duran’s Wednesday TD Garden concert with Chic and Bastille. “I was like, ‘I love both of these songs, I love them equally, but I can’t tell anybody.’ ”Taylor laughs at the memory. Back in late ’70s punks and disco kids were like Jets and Sharks. Nobody could find an overlap between the two scenes and sounds. Well, nobody except Duran Duran.“Punk had generated this incredible energy, it had printed and pressed thousands of young, barely-able-to-play musicians who just wanted to be part of this movement,” Taylor said. “As it got broader it morphed into what we call new wave, and new wave had a beat.”On Duran Duran’s 1981 self-tit...

Editorials: Dems take risk in urging Trump trials be televised

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:25:02 GMT

More than three dozen House Democrats have signed a letter urging that the federal trials of former President Donald Trump be televised. The idea has merit, but these elected officials might be careful what they wish for.Earlier last month, nearly 40 Democrats in the lower chamber formally requested that the Judicial Conference, which serves as a policymaker for the federal judiciary, relax rules that currently forbid cameras in federal courtrooms and “explicitly authorize the broadcasting of court proceedings in the cases of United States of America v. Donald J. Trump.”The effort, led by Trumpaphobe Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is couched in language emphasizing the importance of transparency and accessibility.“Given the historic nature of the charges brought forth in these cases, it is hard to imagine a more powerful circumstance for televised proceedings,” the letter stated. “If the public is to fully accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for it to witness, as directly ...

Dear Abby: Family vacation togetherness is too much

Dear Abby: I have been married to my husband for 23 years. We are both originally from Europe. He hasn’t seen his brother in 25 years, so we are planning to go on vacation near where his brother is currently living with his girlfriend. My husband will pay for them, as they can’t afford a trip, and they’ll be staying with us for two or three days.My dilemma: My husband expects us ALL to share a two-bedroom hotel suite. Abby, I do not know these people. I’m anxious about sharing a suite with people I have never met and with whom I do not share a common language.I have expressed my unease to my husband and asked if we could have two separate hotel rooms. He was very upset at my suggestion and said it will cost him more to arrange two rooms. He now wants to cancel the trip due to my “selfishness.” Am I being unreasonable? — Nervous in New YorkDear Nervous: Because your husband feels he cannot afford to pay for completely separate accommodations,...
