panalo999 vip ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cam Skattebo and Arizona State are on quite a run in their Big 12 debut after being the preseason pick to finish at the bottom of the conference. Now the Sun Devils will represent their new 16-team league in the 12-team College Football Playoff after a 45-19 win over Iowa State in the Big 12 championship game Saturday. The tough-running Skattebo had 170 yards rushing, including a 28-yard gain on the first offensive snap. There were long, tackle-evading runs to open the two drives he ended with short touchdowns, and he later turned a short pass into another score. “I've got the best seat in the house,” said Sam Leavitt, the freshman quarterback who hands off to Skattebo. “Get ready for a gain of 5 or whatever, and I just see the dude kind of weaving through some traffic ... and busts loose." The Sun Devils (11-2, No. 15 CFP), with their 34-year-old head coach Kenny Dillingham, take a six-game winning streak into the playoff. Iowa State (10-3, No. 16 CFP), which already had the first 10-win season in the program’s 133-year history, trailed 24-10 before turnovers in its own territory on its first three drives after halftime. Arizona State capitalized with Leavitt throwing touchdowns each time. “It doesn’t get that much more deflating than that,” Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said. “Their ability to take care of the football and our inability to do that in the third quarter was just paralyzing.” Skattebo struck the Heisman Trophy pose multiple times during the game, and he wore a Big 12 championship T-shirt afterward. “Nobody respects the fact that I’m the best running back in the country. And I’m going to stand on that,” he said. “I'm going to keep proving people wrong. And whatever NFL team takes me is going to get a gem.” That can wait until after Arizona State's guaranteed playoff spot as one of the five highest-ranked conference champions. The Sun Devils almost certainly will rank below Mountain West champion Boise State (12-1, No 10). That would give the Broncos a first-round bye and send the Sun Devils on the road for a first-round game, much to the dismay of Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark , who before the title game re-iterated his feelings about that. “Last year, they left a team out because of a quarterback (then-undefeated Florida State). We're 11-1 with our starting quarterback, having beat four ranked teams and we won the Big 12 championship,” Dillingham said. “We made a standard that the quarterback is that valuable ... I definitely think we should host a game.” Xavier Guillory had TD catches of 8 and 21 yards in a 71-second span after the Iowa State turnovers. Skattebo then turned a third-down swing pass into a 33-yard score for a 45-10 lead that he punctuated with one of his Heisman poses. Skattebo's 2,074 yards from scrimmage (1,568 rushing and 506 receiving) are a single-season school record. Before his 3-yard TD, Skattebo had a 47-yard run when he spun away at the line from defenders, then shrugged off others. He had a 2-yard score in the final minute of the first half after a 53-yard run, again after contact at the line before twisting and turning through chasing Cyclones. “He’s an ‘A’ player, and he played an ‘A’ game today,” Campbell said. “In these moments, you need your ‘A’ players to play ‘A’ football, and he certainly did it.” Even without injured leading receiver Jordan Tyson , the Sun Devils had plenty of big plays. Leavitt's first pass was a 22-yarder to Melquan Stovall, who later had a 63-yard catch to convert a fourth-and-1. Arizona State had six plays of more than 20 yards — all in the first half, when the longest play by Iowa State was 19 yards. The Cyclones' got a late 25-yard TD pass from Rocco Becht to Jaylin Noel, one of their two 1,000-yard receivers. Tyson, who had 624 yards receiving in five November games, injured his left arm in the second half of the regular-season finale against Arizona. Becht has thrown TD passes in 17 consecutive game. His 3-yarder to Carson Hansen on the Cyclones' opening drive gave them their only lead at 7-3. Becht completed 21 of 35 pass for 214 yards and two TDs. Arizona State has its first outright conference title since winning the Pac-10 in 1996. After going 3-9 in their final Pac-12 season, the Sun Devils' eight-win improvement is a school record — the previous was five. Arizona State and Indiana (11-1) are the only FBS schools with eight-win improvements over last year. Iowa State got into November undefeated for the first time since 1938. The Cyclones then lost back-to-back games before winning three in a row to get into their second Big 12 title game. They lost to Oklahoma in the 2020 game. Arizona State finds out Sunday who and where it will start the playoff. Iowa State waits for its bowl destination, likely either the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio or the Pop Tarts Bowl in Orlando.

South Korean President Yoon’s Impeachment Fails as His Ruling Party Boycotts VoteI'm an American living in the UK... these are the FIVE things that are so different about our supermarkets Kobie Jordan is a content creator who documents life as an American in London Jordan highlighted differences in groceries available in US and UK supermarkets READ MORE: This is what shocks me about 'drinking culture' as American in UK By JOWENA RILEY Published: 13:14, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 13:16, 7 December 2024 e-mail View comments An American man living in the UK has shared his shock at five stark differences between grocery shopping in Britain and back home. Kobie Jordan, a TikTok content creator known as @kjordyyy, often explores cultural contrasts between the two countries, both through street interviews with Brits and sharing his own experiences online. In a video uploaded in August, titled 'Grocery shopping in London as an American,' Jordan shared his observations whilst shopping for necessities in his local Sainsbury's supermarket. Filming his visit, the content creator singled out specific items while weighing up the pros and cons of varieties available in supermarkets in both nations. The first thing that caught Jordan off guard was the sight of unrefrigerated eggs, as he panned his camera to dozens of cartons stacked neatly on shelves. He said: 'One of the first things that threw me off: the eggs are not refrigerated. 'Funny enough, I found the eggs last way longer than when I used to refrigerate them. For me, I put them on top of the microwave.' Next, Jordan noted that UK supermarkets appear to sell food in much smaller portions compared to their American counterparts, adding: 'The UK, you shop way more often, but you buy in smaller quantities.'

Here, you can't buy ketchup the size of compact cars.' Fresh produce in the UK also puzzled Jordan, as he showed bags of potatoes, radish and pre-prepared lettuce as examples with expiration dates just days away. While displaying the items' "best before" dates of August 11 and August 8, he explained: 'Fresh produce expires more quickly than back home. At the time of filming this, it's August 7th.' 'Most of them won't last more than three days - but back home, our produce is pumped with so much preservatives.' Panning his camera at crates of baked beans stacked from the floor to the highest shelf in one aisle, he joked: 'But, of course, the bean section has no shortages, and was ironically the item that had the most stock.' One aspect of UK supermarkets Jordan praised was the absence of hidden taxes. He said: 'What you see is what you buy. So, if something is £2.75, you're going to leave paying £2.75. 'Back home, there's nothing worse than doing your whole shop and then realising, "Add 6% tax" to anything you buy.' The first thing that caught Jordan off guard was the sight of unrefrigerated eggs, as he panned his camera to dozens of cartons stacked neatly on shelves Jordan's observations sparked a lively discussion among viewers, with over 900 Brits, Americans, and even viewers from other countries sharing their thoughts. Regarding Jordan's observation on taxed goods, a baffled Briton asked: 'Why can’t America just put the full price you pay on things, can’t be that difficult??' Regarding produce, one Brit wrote: 'Our produce isn't full of preservatives, it's fresh. the UK has to import everything so it has a shorter life span Another commented: 'If a "fresh" product lasts longer it probably isn't for a good reason.' A third wrote: 'The reason why USA plastic packaged fruit/veg lasts longer is simply cause the USA fill the bags with nitrogen & not "air" which also contains oxygen & its stored in the store in fridges.' Meanwhile, commenters explained that in the US, eggs are washed to remove the protective membrane, which requires refrigeration, while in the UK, eggs remain untreated, allowing them to be stored safely at room temperature. Regarding his observation on eggs, one Brit wrote: 'Eggs are not in the fridge but everybody I know including me puts them in the fridge as soon as they’re home.' Another viewer, who claims to live in Africa, said: 'In Africa too we don’t refrigerate eggs. It’s only in USA and I wonder why? Jordan's observations sparked a lively discussion among viewers, with over 900 Brits, Americans, and even viewers from other countries sharing their thoughts Read More I'm an American living in the UK... this is what I thought of Greggs However, on American wrote: 'Americans wash the membrane off the egg that requires them to be refrigerated. We do backwards with everything.' Some viewers, meanwhile, warned Jordan that storing eggs on top of the microwave was a bad idea due to heat exposure, with one writing: 'Don't put anything on top of your microwave it will heat up each time as it gets hot after every use.' It comes after an American woman living in the UK has revealed the classic British sweets she cannot stand - much to the consternation of her followers online. Lisa Dollan is originally from Georgia in the United States but moved to Yorkshire after falling in love with her now-husband Paul after they met at a business conference in 2009. Taking to TikTok, where she has amassed over 1.2million followers under her handle Yorkshire Peach, Lisa shared common British confectionary items that she disliked.

West Virginia knocks off No. 3 Gonzaga in overtimePakistan's Capital City Islamabad stands on edge as Imran Khan's followers gear up for a protest, challenging the current government's policies. Saturday saw Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi assertive steps to tighten the city's security amid expected demonstrations. Khan, serving time in Adiala Jail, accuses the ruling coalition of undermining democratic processes, propelling his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters to drive from various cities towards the country's capital. As a high-level delegation from Belarus visits, led by Foreign Minister Maksim Ryzinkov, officials weigh the delicate balance between security and diplomatic ties. Discussions with Pakistan's leaders are anticipated to advance bilateral agreements. (With inputs from agencies.)

Ghana counts ballots after tight presidential raceAll is not smooth sailing headed into this final month of racing: There's a new race director following the firing of Niels Wittich that blindsided the Grand Prix Drivers' Association so badly that it created an Instagram account to rebuke the lack of FIA transparency. "It was a bit of a surprise, I think, for everybody," said Mercedes driver George Russell, a GPDA director. "It's a hell of a lot of pressure now onto the new race director (with) just three races left. Often, as drivers, we probably feel like we're the last to find out this sort of information." Greg Maffei, the CEO of Liberty Media, the company that holds the commercial rights to F1, said last week he was stepping down from his position. This followed months of speculation that owner John Malone was displeased with Liberty landing in two different Justice Department investigations, one surrounding F1's refusal to allow Andretti Global into the series and the other over allegations of a Live Nation concert ticket monopoly. The Andretti team is expected to receive F1 approval to join the grid, albeit without Michael Andretti, who has scaled back his role dramatically since the IndyCar season ended in September. F1 denied over the weekend that Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula One Management, was also on the move amid rumors that the Italian would take over MotoGP if Liberty's purchase of the series is approved. Renee Wilm, a longtime Liberty Media employee, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and potentially Domenicali's successor, told The Associated Press she will fulfill any role Malone tasks her with but has little desire to move from Colorado to London to replace Domenicali. Maffei's newly opened job? Who knows. Many drivers, particularly seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, have been at odds with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem since his election following the 2021 season finale. In the GDPA statement, they reminded the sanctioning body "our members are adults" who don't need lectures and fines on foul language or jewelry bans, and simply want fair and consistent race control. There's been no response from Ben Sulayem, and won't be this weekend since he does not attend the LVGP. He will be at Qatar and the finale in Abu Dhabi next month. Hamilton doesn't think all the behind-the-scenes changes will be a fan topic as the season comes to a close. But he noted that consistency from race control is all the drivers have asked for, while throwing his support behind Domenicali and the job Maffei has done in growing F1 since Liberty took over. "I really hope Stefano is not leaving because he's been so instrumental in changes and progress to this whole thing," Hamilton said. "And he knows the sport as well as anyone. But all good things do come to an end, and whoever they put into place, I just hope they are like-minded. But sometimes you have to shake the trees." That's just what happened with the surprise departure of race director Wittich. Although drivers have been unhappy with race officiating this season and held a private GPDA meeting in Mexico City, Russell said they had no prior warning Wittich was out. The race director is the referee each weekend and Wittich has been in charge since 2022, when Michael Masi was fired following the controversial 2021 season-ending, championship-altering finale at Abu Dhabi. Now the man in charge for the final three races is Rui Marques, the Formula 2 and Formula 3 race director. Las Vegas, which overcame multiple stumbling blocks in last year's debut before putting on one of the best races of the season, is a difficult place to start. Verstappen can win his fourth title by simply scoring three points more than Lando Norris of McLaren. "It's a bit weird with three races to go to do that," Verstappen said. "It doesn't matter if you're positive or negative about certain things. I thought in Brazil there was definitely room for improvement, for example. It's still a bit weird having to now then deal with a different race director." Charles Leclerc of Ferrari wondered why the move was made with only three races to go. "To do it so late in the season, at such a crucial moment of the season, it could have probably been managed in a better way," he said. The drivers have consistently asked for clearer guidelines in the officiating of races, specifically regarding track limits and racing rules. The drivers have no idea how Marques will officiate, highlighting a disconnect between the competitors and Ben Sulaymen's FIA. "We just want to be transparent with the FIA and have this dialogue that is happening," Russell said. "And I think the departure of Niels is also a prime example of not being a part of these conversations." The GDPA statement made clear the drivers do not think their voice is being heard. "If we feel we're being listened to, and some of the changes that we are requesting are implemented, because ultimately we're only doing it for the benefit of the sport, then maybe our confidence will increase," Russell said. "But I think there's a number of drivers who feel a bit fed up with the whole situation. It only seems to be going in the wrong direction." He also said the relationship between the drivers and the FIA seems fractured. "Sometimes just hiring and firing is not the solution," he said. "You need to work together to improve the problem." Norris, who has battled Verstappen this year with mixed officiating rulings, said "obviously things are not running as smoothly as what we would want." Marques has his first driver meeting ahead of Thursday night's two practice sessions and then three weeks to prove to the competitors he is up for the job. Carlos Sainz Jr., who will leave Ferrari for Williams at the end of the season, hopes the drama doesn't distract from the momentum F1 has built over the last five years. "I think Formula 1 is in a great moment right now and all these rumors, I think in every team, every job, there's job changes," he said. "It's not big drama. I'm a big fan of the people you mentioned, they've done an incredible job in Formula 1 and Formula 1 is what it is thanks to these people. But it's just so emotional, especially the Stefano one. The only one that has a real effect is the race director. But I think if he does a good job, it should be transparent and nothing big."

OG Maco , the rapper behind the 2014 hit “U Guessed It,” has died at the age of 32. The rapper’s family confirmed his death in a statement. No cause of death was given, though Maco’s manager confirmed the rapper was hospitalized for an undisclosed reason earlier this month. “His life was a testament to resilience, creativity, and boundless love. Through his music, passion, and unwavering spirit, he touched so many lives and left a lasting impact,” Maco’s family wrote. “While we grieve this immense loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived — one that will continue to inspire and uplift others.” The rapper’s family said his influence will “remain forever etched in our hearts” and encouraged fans to reach out through DM to express their condolences. “Thank you for standing by him throughout his journey,” they ended the note. “Today, we celebrate a life that was extraordinary in every way.” A post shared by Maco Mattox (OG Maco) (@ogxmaco) “We lost a legend last night,” Maco’s manager PoppaPerc wrote on his Instagram Story Friday. He did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone ‘s request for comment. Last week, PoppaPerc shared a statement writing that Maco was “still fighting” and “in a more stable condition.” On Dec. 15, the rapper’s family shared a statement on social media informing fans that he was in “critical but stable condition” and “receiving the best care.” “We are staying hopeful as he continues to fight,” read the statement. A post shared by Maco Mattox (OG Maco) (@ogxmaco) While it’s unclear what led to his death, Maco had faced health issues over the years. In 2019, he revealed that he had developed necrotizing fasciitis, a “skin-eating disease” that affected his face and scalp, after being “improperly treated for a minor rash.” “I’ve been going through this for about three months, and everybody I really thought I could depend on wasn’t there,” he wrote on Instagram at the time, per People . “People who I’ve given all my love to — all of everything to just didn’t show up and it caused me to not really trust anybody or believe in anything.” Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time In 2016, he also survived a serious car crash that he said left him with skull fractures, a broken orbital, and cracked vertebrae. “I feel alive!!!” he wrote on Twitter after surviving that incident. OG Maco made waves in 2014 after releasing “U Guessed It,” which earned him a collaboration with 2 Chainz and a deal with Quality Control Music. He was included in XXL’s Freshman class for 2015 alongside Gucci Mane, Vic Mensa, Vince Staples, and Fetty Wap. Rolling Stone described Maco as “Atlanta’s Newest Rock Star” in a 2014 profile, where he opened up about the success of “U Guessed It” and his virality at the time. “Like in life, I was always aggro, always angry, yelling and shit,” he told Rolling Stone . “So when it was time to make my music, I was calm — that was my calm. Then I couldn’t be angry in life no more because I had a bunch of situations going on. Me just losing it? I’ll be gone. I’ll go in prison for a long time. So I couldn’t just be as wild as I used to be. But I’m still angry, though. I got to put it somewhere.”Matt Gaetz, the former Florida representative and Trump nominee for Attorney General, announced Thursday that he is withdrawing as Trump's pick for the top prosecutor, citing what he described as the "distraction" his nomination had caused due to a swirl of allegations about paying underage women for sex. LiveNOW from FOX host Mike Pache spoke to political expert and professor at the University of Central Florida, Larry Walker on the latest. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as President-elect Trump’s nominee for attorney general amid controversy over past allegations. Top contenders for the role include Missouri AG Andrew Bailey, Sen. Mike Lee, and former DNI John Ratcliffe. Trump’s choice will need to navigate Senate confirmation and align with his agenda. WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to install fierce loyalist Matt Gaetz as attorney general hit a roadblock Thursday as the former Florida congressman withdrew his name from consideration amid backlash over past allegations. Gaetz’s decision leaves the Department of Justice’s top spot vacant just weeks before Trump’s new administration begins. Gaetz cited his desire to avoid being a "distraction" to the incoming administration and its transition efforts. "Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," Gaetz wrote on X. Trump acknowledged the setback but praised Gaetz’s efforts: "Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do." With the DOJ vacancy now reopened, speculation has turned to who might replace Gaetz. Here are the leading contenders: Andrew Bailey (Missouri Attorney General): Bailey has positioned himself as a strong defender of conservative causes, leading lawsuits against the Biden administration. His ties to Missouri Republican Sens. Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt could aid his Senate confirmation chances. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah): A constitutional conservative with a legal background, Lee would bring credibility and a relatively smooth confirmation process compared to other names. However, Lee has previously stated he prefers his current Senate role. FILE - Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, questions Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as he testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill on September 27, 2018 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Andrew Harnik - Pool/Getty Images) John Ratcliffe (Former Director of National Intelligence): Ratcliffe has a track record of loyalty to Trump and extensive experience as a federal prosecutor. His leadership during Trump’s first term makes him a familiar and trusted figure for the president-elect. Mark Paoletta (Former White House Attorney): Paoletta’s tenure during Trump’s first term showcased his hardline stance on aligning DOJ operations with the president’s agenda. His no-nonsense approach could appeal to Trump’s push for loyalty in the DOJ. Matt Whitaker (Former Acting Attorney General): Whitaker, who temporarily led the DOJ during Trump’s first term, has the advantage of familiarity with the role. He has signaled openness to serving again but has deferred to Trump for the final decision. Trump’s attorney general pick will face scrutiny from both Senate Republicans and Democrats. Gaetz’s withdrawal underscores the importance of selecting a candidate with both loyalty to Trump and a relatively clean record to avoid confirmation hurdles. Senate Republicans have hinted at their preferences. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) suggested a nominee "the Senate recognizes and knows," while Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) lamented Gaetz’s departure but expressed hope for a similarly committed nominee. The attorney general will play a pivotal role in Trump’s efforts to reshape the DOJ. Key issues include addressing claims of "weaponization" within the agency, investigating political adversaries, and managing Trump’s broader legal and policy priorities. As the search continues, Trump’s selection will signal how he plans to approach these challenges and whether he can bridge internal GOP divides while maintaining his vision for the Justice Department.
