ON AN AUTUMN WEEKEND IN BOULDER, THE sports miracle of the season is clearer than the blue Rocky Mountain sky. Whereas for years, the University of Colorado football team delivered Saturday misery-the Buffaloes enjoyed just four winning seasons in the past 20 years and finished 1-11 in 2022- Boulder now may be the hippest, happiest place in America. "The Stampede," a Friday night pregame pep rally down Pearl Street, used to feel more like a tiptoe. But on Sept. 29, the night before Colorado faced off against No. 8 USC, the restaurants are full and the sidewalks packed. A handful of little kids even line the rooftop of a trattoria to watch the marching band play.
A little before 6 a.m. Mountain time the next day, hundreds of University of Colorado fans, most wearing white cowboy hats adorned with LED lights, have assembled on Farrand Field, smack in the middle of campus. Some are students, others alums and locals, while a significant number have traveled from far afield, never having imagined they'd have reason to gaze at those picturesque peaks in the backdrop. Fox Sports' Big Noon Kickoff pregame show won't start for hours, but the revelers are ready. They're here to see Deion Sanders, or Coach Prime-a play on Prime Time, his nickname from his 1980s and '90s heyday-who arrived as head coach in December, radically made over this year's team, and turned Colorado into the biggest story in sports.

Are mosquitoes getting more dangerous? - It's not news that mosquitoes carry a number of viruses and parasites that can be harmful to human health, including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, West Nile virus, and eastern equine encephalitis.
Mosquitoes seem to be everywhere this year, and they're not just a nuisance at outdoor gatherings. Health experts say they're carrying some serious diseases—a fact that's hitting home in the U.S., as some towns in Massachusetts have shut down public parks and other outdoor areas in the evenings, after mosquitoes in the region were learned to be carrying eastern equine encephalitis, a rare but deadly virus. And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's former top infectious-disease expert, was recently hospitalized with a West Nile virus infection he is believed to have acquired from a mosquito buzzing through his backyard.
Dana White The Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO on manhood, his friendship with Donald Trump, and the future of the fight business
Why do you think Donald Trump asked you, and not a family member, to introduce him at July's Republican National Convention? Listen, he and I are really, really good friends. What I think, and from what his kids have told me, I am the one guy he connects with. They call it \"bro-out\"-we bro-out together.
There can be only one Sally Rooney
A FEW YEARS AGO, SOMEONE POSTED a photo of a man walking through Brooklyn with a copy of Conversations With Friends tucked in the back of his trousers, the words SALLY ROONEY peeking out above his waistband. It was an accessory that telegraphed as much about his personal style as his choice in attire did. Less than a month earlier, the book critic Constance Grady had published an essay titled \"The Cult of Sally Rooney,\" deeming it \"aspirational\" to be a fan: \"If you read Sally Rooney, the thinking seems to go, you're smart, but you're also fun and you're also cool enough to be suspicious of both 'smart' and 'fun' as general concepts.\"
Kate Winslet puts Lee Miller in the frame
KATE WINSLET LOVES TABLES. SHE LOVES THEM SO MUCH that the Oscar-winning actor collects them. There is nothing fancy about these antiques, but they enchant her. \"It's the knots and the whorls, the shape and feel,\" she says. \"They can feel like old friends, and there is something emotionally charging about an old table that comes with a history-I find imagining what that might be enormous fun.\"

The heartache of calling Israel home
I KNEW THAT AS SOON AS WE CAME HOME TO ISRAEL, I'd ask myself why we'd been so eager to get back. I'd disconnected for a few days in New York City with my family, even stopped wearing the hostage necklace I wore every day, and I knew it would be hard to return.
