We've got one ******* of an SEC season on our hands, huh?
No one is left undefeated, and the top of the table is a four-way tie between Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, and… Kentucky?? And let's be honest, none of their losses were great. Tennessee dropped a home game to Texas, which has looked like a shell for two weeks. Georgia got punked by Auburn (again at home.) Ole Miss got run over by Florida which looks like the best or the worst team in the conference depending on when you tune in. And Kentucky didn't just get beat by Alabama in Lexington… they got waxed.
Mizzou fans might be down in the dumps after the Tigers' embarrassing showing in Oxford, but we're halfway through the season and have no idea how it's going to turn out. For all we know, Mizzou controls its own destiny. So it might as well start on Monday by resting up and getting ready for the Halloween showdown against Arky. Hopefully the rest of the conference can keep the chaos rolling in Week 8 and create an opening for Eli Drinkwitz's squad.
Some interesting lines this week for those of you watching. Auburn is getting no respect after waltzing into Athens and taking down Georgia, as they're giving 8.5 points to Lane Kiffin's up-and-down Bayou Bengals. Meanwhile, South Carolina is a one score favorite over conference leader Tennessee, while Texas – which is currently considering benching its two-year starter!! – is a 3.5-point favorite over an Ole Miss team that just beat a fellow ranked conference opponent by four scores.
Think you have any clue what's going to happen this week? Good for you. Check out the opening odds at FanDuel and press your luck. Because that's all you can count on at this point.

It wasn't pretty, but Arizona volleyball found a way to end its five-game losing streak with a victory over Oregon State on Saturday. The Wildcats won 3-1 (25-23, 25-23, 16-25, 27-25) at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
"It was necessary for us to win that match," said Arizona head coach Rita Stubbs.
It was a struggle throughout. Arizona had difficulty scoring and Oregon State had success against the Wildcats' block. While Arizona had nine blocks, it also had four blocking errors on the day. The Wildcats only had nine blocking errors in seven matches this season prior to Saturday.
Things were tight in the sets Arizona won. The Beavers took a late lead in all three before Arizona came back. The third set, which Oregon State won, was even less competitive than the 25-16 score suggested. The Wildcats persevered and Stubbs used her bench when she needed to.
Destiny Ndam-Simpson leads the Wildcats with 3.42 kills per set this season, but Saturday wasn't her day. The Beavers kept her in check, regularly taking her out of the play with their serve. She received 24 serves despite being subbed out halfway through the third set and not returning. Only Carlie Cisneros with 25 receptions in four sets was targeted more. Four of the Beavers' seven aces were charged to Ndam-Simpson.

Tina Knowles is starring in her first solo fashion campaign at 72, fronting the relaunch of American luxury label St. John under Humberto Leon.
Tina Knowles has spent decades dressing other people. At 72, she has finally been asked to stand in front of the camera herself.
Vanity Fair reported that Knowles is fronting the creative relaunch of St. John, the American luxury house founded in California in the 1960s, in what amounts to her first-ever solo fashion campaign.
The move is overseen by the label's new creative director, Humberto Leon, who co-founded Opening Ceremony and previously shared creative duties at Kenzo alongside Carol Lim.
The timing is worth pausing on. Knowles established the family's presence in fashion long before either of her daughters, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, became style figures in their own right, working as stylist, costume designer and creative force behind Destiny's Child.

Tottenham have their first Premier League point of the season, but the bigger issue is obvious. Three matches in, no wins, no goals and too many key attackers still working their way back.
The 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest stopped the immediate bleeding after defeats to Brentford and Newcastle, yet Roberto De Zerbi still has a squad short on cutting edge. Savio and Destiny Udogie both continued their managed returns at the City Ground and both were taken off around the hour mark. There is no fresh injury concern there, which matters because Spurs do not need another problem.
Photo IMAGO
James Maddison remains out after injuring his shoulder against Brentford on the opening day. He had already been eased back into action after last year's ACL injury, and Tottenham have clearly been careful with him.
He missed the trip to Forest, but there is now encouragement around his recovery after returning to team training. For a side lacking control and invention between the lines, that matters. Spurs need a player who can slow the game down, pick a pass and connect midfield to attack. Right now, they do not have enough of that.

A little bit of personal story-time to start this week's Sinners & Saints. Yesterday was the first Roma match that my girlfriend watched all the way through in a serious way. She's a fan of football in general, but follows the NWSL most closely. Thanks to my work with Chiesa di Totti, she knows what's going on in a general way with Roma most of the time, and we've both been thinking for a while that it would be great for us to watch Roma together this season. Her main experience with seeing me follow Roma has been witnessing my frustration: she knows Roma is generally a club with talented players that fail to meet expectations, a club always just on the outside looking in.
Because of some scheduling issues for the first two matches, yesterday was her first time watching a match this season in full (whereas previous seasons, she didn't want to watch because it was "kind of depressing." Fair enough.). 45 minutes in, she was impressed albeit deeply frustrated with Roma's inability to get the ball past Marco Carnesecchi. 85 minutes in, I thought I was introducing her to the apotheosis of what happens when Roma Happens; when no amount of combined talent, no amount of good form, no amount of opportunities on goal seems to be capable of defeating the destiny of Roma to be just one tier below the best of Italian and European football, for eternity.
Then, of course, came the six minutes where Roma turned a 0-1 loss into a 2-1 win. I was on the edge of my seat (literally, my Uber nearly got into an accident) when Matías Soulé scored his stoppage time goal to preserve Roma's perfect record and keep the hopes of something greater for this season alive. I'm still feeling shocked and thrilled that the Giallorossi pulled this one off, and what a game to use to truly introduce my girlfriend to Roma. Roma did concede, and Roma did look as if they were going to lose this one for most of the second half; given that, I had to anoint at least one player a sinner. But make no mistake: this match felt more exciting to me than either of the multi-goal clean sheets that started the season, and in my book is a far better signal for just how high this Roma can go than either the win against Lecce or Fiorentina.
One quick aside before diving into the sinners and saints: my love for Mile Svilar knows no bounds, but if yesterday's match taught me just about anything regarding a non-Roma player, it's that I want Marco Carnesecchi to be Italy's goalkeeper moving forward. What an incredible performance; this one could have and should have been a 5-1 rout, if not for his 9 saves.
He got the game-winner in stoppage time, so he has to be the first saint on the list. MatìGol (can we start calling him that?) put in an excellent shift as a substitute, garnering himself an 8.7 rating from SofaScore after coming on for Rodrigo Mora in the 54th minute and practically willing the Giallorossi to the win. The Argentine attacker had seven total shots, three of which were on target; while

For the vast majority of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, George Russell appeared completely in control of his own destiny. After pulling off a sharp opening-lap move on pole-sitter Pierre Gasly and surviving the Lap 3 red flag triggered by Charles Leclerc's crash, the Mercedes driver looked poised to convert his front-row start into a commanding victory at the Temple of Speed.
Instead, a critical strategic gamble under a late Virtual Safety Car completely upended the race, leaving Russell defenseless on fading rubber while his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli charged from the back of the grid to **** the win.
Mercedes opted for an extreme tire management strategy with Russell, keeping him out on a single set of hard compound tires following the early race stoppage. But when a late Virtual Safety Car period neutralized the field, the Silver Arrows pit wall was forced to make a high-stakes tactical call: preserve track position or pit for fresher, faster rubber.
While Russell remained out on track to protect the race lead, Antonelli and Red Bull's Max Verstappen both dove into the pits for fresh tires. The stark difference in grip proved decisive in the final laps, as Antonelli rapidly eliminated the gap and swept past Russell to claim an astonishing victory from 19th on the grid.
Speaking post-race, Russell admitted he never expected the team to bring Antonelli in.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham Hotspur were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, as the Italian coach's 'revolution' in North London struggles to gather pace.
De Zerbi guided the club to Premier League survival after taking over late last season and helped engineer an expensive squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, with over €200m spent on midfielders alone.
However, Spurs remain winless and are now without a goal in their opening three league matches for the first time since 1974. Pressure is already beginning to mount on the former Sassuolo and Brighton boss to quickly find solutions to his side's mounting offensive woes, despite the vast amounts of money spent to supposedly improve it.

Both Sandro Tonali and Destiny Udogie started for De Zerbi at the City Ground today. Tonali, who completed a marquee move from Newcastle United earlier in the summer, put in a full ninety-minute shift and stood out as one of Spurs' few bright spots, dictating play from the base of the midfield.

After a slow start to the season, there would have been hope that this fixture against Nottingham Forest would be the moment things started to click for Tottenham Hotspur. Instead, Spurs had to settle for a goalless draw as their wait for a first Premier League goal of the season continued.
Roberto De Zerbi made three changes from the loss against Newcastle United, with Destiny Udogie and Savio getting their first league starts of the season, and Conor Gallagher returning to the XI in favor of Mateus Fernandes. Forest made one change, as Liam Delap was preferred to Igor Jesus up front.
This first half was full of physicality but not much quality. Both sides struggled to create clearcut scoring opportunities, with set pieces and long-range efforts the only real threats from either side. There was a sort of symmetry to the chance creation, though, as both Spurs and Forest saw attackers in behind one-on-one with the keeper only for the attacker to fail to capitalize and the referee to also call the play back. Omar Marmoush for Spurs was the first, breaking away from Neco Williams to latch onto Porro's long ball, only for a foul to be awarded to Williams for a shove by the Egyptian; while Morgan Gibbs-White was flagged for offside as he sprinted in behind Jan Paul van Hecke.
With both sides failing to score in the first half, it looked like Forest may have opened the scoring in the second. Really poor positioning from Jan Paul van Hecke allowed Gibbs-White to get in behind; Kinsky did enough to at least deflect Gibbs-White's shot, but Sandro Tonali whiffed on a clearance before Williams appeared to bundle the ball into the net by way of a diving header. It was a calamitous concession by Spurs, but one that did not stand for long, as replays showed the ball ended up in the net off Williams' arms with VAR overturning the goal.
A flurry of substitutions followed from both sides as both managers searched for a winner. Neither side was able to muster the quality to create anything to break the deadlock, however, and a late headed chance from substitute Dominic Solanke that went well over the crossbar was the final chance of a reasonably low-quality affair with the match finishing 0-0.

Destiny's Child was one of the biggest girl groups in the world, but high-profile line-up changes and lawsuits plagued their early success.
Two of the founding members, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, filed a lawsuit against manager Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé's dad, for breach of contract, defamation, libel, and fraud, according to Rolling Stone, after claiming he favored Beyoncé and distributed the group's earnings somewhat creatively.
LeToya and LaTavia were then replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin, who left the group after six months, and Destiny's Child became a trio.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2002, and LeToya claimed in 2023 that all was forgiven. "Things happened the way they were supposed to happen," she said. "Baby, everybody's fine. We've done our therapy."

Every year, as Labor Day fades and portfolio managers return from vacation, the same conversation starts: Stocks tend to wobble in the ninth month, so maybe it's time to play a little defense. If you own shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), this discussion may hit a bit harder.
Nvidia has been the market's artificial intelligence (AI) engine for four years now. Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT to the public on Nov. 30, 2022, shares of Nvidia have climbed by 1,200%, and the company has become the most valuable business in the world by market cap.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Sounds great, right? Well, what this also means is Nvidia can be one of the first names institutional funds sell when they want to take gains off the table. While the calendar is not destiny, it is not background noise either.
Let's dig into what the September Effect actually is, how it lines up with Nvidia, and what smart investors can do instead of guessing over the next several weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a poor 2-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle United recently, so they would be eager to bounce back by securing a win this weekend.
Roberto De Zerbi will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Therefore, Omar Marmoush could get another chance to impress as a centre-forward for the North London club up top.
Antonin Kinsky will operate in between the sticks for Spurs after he conceded two goals in his last appearance. Micky van de Ven will function alongside Jan Paul van Hecke at the heart of De Zerbi's defence as they try to keep the Nottingham attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.
Archie Gray will operate as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Marcos Senesi and Destiny Udogie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Anne Hathaway became the target of MAGA's anger on Tuesday after an anti-abortion website dredged up her old comments on reproductive rights.
Hathaway, in a 2022 appearance on "The View" after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, underscored the importance of a young woman's "reproductive destiny" before remarking on her "own personal experience with abortion."
Buzz: Anne Hathaway Reveals She And Husband Adam Shulman Are Expecting Baby No. 3
"I don't think we talk about this enough; abortion can be another word for mercy," said Hathaway, who, days after SCOTUS' decision, used the anniversary of "The Devil Wears Prada" to point out that the film's young female characters built their lives and careers in a country that honored their reproductive rights.
She later continued, "We know that no two pregnancies are alike and it follows that no two lives are alike, that follows that no two conceptions are alike. So how can we have a law — how can we have a point of view on this that says we must treat everything the same?"

Riverwater Partners, an investment management company, released its 'Small Cap Strategy' Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. The Small Cap Strategy underperformed the Russell 2000 in the second quarter as the benchmark experienced one of its strongest risk-on rallies in recent memory, although the strategy remained ahead year-to-date. The quarter was defined by accelerating AI investment, energy market disruptions, and renewed investor appetite for higher-beta stocks, creating headwinds for the firm's quality-focused approach and healthcare positioning. Despite this, stock selection contributed positively in energy, materials, and financials, while healthcare and consumer discretionary detracted due to the fund's disciplined avoidance of speculative businesses. Looking ahead, the firm remains cautiously optimistic, focusing on opportunities created by market dislocations, including AI infrastructure enablers, select consumer companies, healthcare innovators, and energy businesses trading below intrinsic value. The strategy continues to emphasize high-quality companies with strong management teams and attractive valuations, positioning the portfolio for a potential rotation away from speculative market leadership. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy highlighted PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS). PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) provides proprietary software, physical intellectual property for integrated circuit designs, electrical measurement hardware tools, proven methodologies, and professional services. On August 28, 2026, PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) closed at $44.81 per share. One-month return of PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) was -7.31% and its shares gained 117.56% over the past 52 weeks. PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) has a market capitalization of $1.89 billion.
Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy stated the following regarding PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"PDF Solutions, a provider of yield ***** ytics and data software for semiconductor manufacturers, returned approximately 52% in the quarter. During May, long-time strategic holder Advantest exited its entire 8% stake through an upsized secondary offering, with PDF selling additional shares alongside to fund general corporate purposes and potential debt reduction. We interpreted the heavily oversubscribed deal as a sign of management taking control of its own destiny, and we used the offering-related weakness to add a full percentage point to the position, funded by a sale of Veeco (VECO) to keep our overall semiconductor exposure in check. Late in the quarter we trimmed a portion of the position after the sharp run, consistent with our practice of harvesting gains in extended semiconductor names..." (Click here to read the full text)

(NASDAQ:PDFS) was -7.31% and its shares gained 117.56% over the past 52 weeks. PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) has a market capitalization of $1.89 billion.
Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy stated the following regarding PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PDFS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"PDF Solutions, a provider of yield ***** ytics and data software for semiconductor manufacturers, returned approximately 52% in the quarter. During May, long-time strategic holder Advantest exited its entire 8% stake through an upsized secondary offering, with PDF selling additional shares alongside to fund general corporate purposes and potential debt reduction. We interpreted the heavily oversubscribed deal as a sign of management taking control of its own destiny, and we used the offering-related weakness to add a full percentage point to the position, funded by a sale of Veeco (VECO) to keep our overall semiconductor exposure in check. Late in the quarter we trimmed a portion of the position after the sharp run, consistent with our practice of harvesting gains in extended semiconductor names..." (Click here to read the full text)

Pradyumna ****** ar Mahanandia and Ann-Charlotte Von Schedvin's remarkable love story is told in 'The Cycle of Love', a documentary produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas
The couple, who have now been married for nearly 50 years, tell the story of how they first met in India and ultimately reunited in Sweden
Mahanandia, who goes by "PK," rode his bike thousands of miles to reunite with the woman he felt was his destiny
More than 50 years after he first met his wife, Pradyumna ****** ar Mahanandia seems to remember the moment like it was just yesterday.
The fateful meeting in Connaught Place in New Delhi, India, might have been written in the stars — or a palm leaf at least. Mahanandia, who goes by "PK", says he received a prophecy as a baby that his future wife would have several of the qualities he found in a tourist named Ann-Charlotte Von Schedvin who sat down to have her portrait drawn by the young artist.

India's World Test Championship hopes have taken a hit after the Colombo Test ended in a draw, with former India cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth warning that the missed opportunity could have serious consequences for their qualification campaign.
India appeared well placed to complete a 2-0 series sweep after taking control of the second Test. Sri Lanka began the final day with six wickets down, leaving India needing only four more wickets to seal victory.
Instead, the visitors could manage just two wickets as Sonal Dinusha produced a stunning unbeaten century to frustrate India. The Sri Lankan batter remained unbeaten on 133 and stitched together vital partnerships with the lower order, helping the hosts survive and force a draw after following on.
The result meant India had to settle for a 1-0 series victory rather than the 2-0 sweep that had looked within reach.
The dropped opportunity in Colombo could prove significant in the race for the WTC Final. India remain fifth in the standings, with Sri Lanka sixth, and now have very little room for error across their remaining seven Tests.
According to Srikkanth, India may need an almost perfect run from here to stay in control of their qualification hopes.
"This draw will make it difficult for India to qualify for the WTC final. Even if India wins five or six of the last seven matches, they'll have to depend on other results. It's questionable if India can beat Australia 5-0 at home. If we give rank turners in that series, Australia can also beat India," Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.
India have seven Tests left in their WTC campaign and need to win at least six of them to control their own destiny.
A major challenge will come when Australia travel to India. Srikkanth cautioned against ****** uming that home conditions will guarantee results, particularly if India prepare heavily turning pitches.
Srikkanth was particularly critical of India's failure to close out the Colombo Test after creating a strong position.
He also highlighted Dinusha's contribution, with the Sri Lankan batter producing twin centuries at the Sinhalese Sports Club and playing a decisive role in keeping his team alive on the final day.
"India messed up big time. Sonal Dinusha was amazing throughout the series. This is where you miss a bowler like ****** rah. You need a finishing bowler like him. Though rain helped Sri Lanka a bit, India should have won the match hands down," said Srikkanth.
Dinusha's unbeaten 133 proved crucial as Sri Lanka survived India's late push and secured a draw, leaving the visitors with a 1-0 series win but also a potentially costly setback in their WTC campaign.

Stockard Channing, 82, made her first red carpet appearance in two years on Wednesday, just days after admitting she's become a "recluse" since the death of her partner in 2014.
The 82-year-old actor attended the European premiere of Practical Magic 2 at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on Wednesday. She reprises her role as Frances "Fran" Owens, the witch aunt of Sally Owens (played by Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (played by Nicole Kidman) in the fantasy sequel.
It was her first time back on the red carpet since a low-key appearance at the press night for **** o, Dolly! at the London Palladium in July 2024.
It comes after Channing told The Sunday Times about her move to London from Maine following the death of her partner, cinematographer Daniel Gillham, in 2014. The couple had been together for 24 years after meeting on the set of World War II drama A Time of Destiny.
"I've lived alone since I lost Daniel and I'm happy being a recluse," she said.

With this year's crop of superstar IPO filings, including ***** eX and Anthropic, there has been a greater focus on the role venture capital plays in investors' portfolios. The stage at which promising companies go public has moved much later in their evolution, meaning that investors seeking the outsized returns of betting on the next Apple, Amazon, or ***** eX must do so while the companies are still private.
Traditionally, that has not been an avenue open to many individual investors, as venture capital funds have tended to come with qualified purchaser requirements, hefty investment minimums, 15-plus-year payoff horizons and limited liquidity mechanisms. A new crop of players, however, is promising mass-affluent investors that they can enter the venture capital business as well, often without the need for accreditation or investment minimums. Whether they can succeed in doing so without making investors take on outsized risks relative to returns is an open question.
One of the first companies to launch a venture-capital fund marketed to retail investors was Destiny XYZ Inc. in the spring of 2024. Called Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ), the fund focuses on "late-stage venture-backed companies," with Destiny XYZ viewing them as a more stable investment than fresh start-ups. Destiny Tech100, which today has a market cap of about $1 billion, comes with a 2.5% annual management fee—roughly in line with what a traditional venture capital fund would charge—but requires no accreditation or minimum investment, since it's structured as an exchange-listed closed-end fund (CEF).
Today, the fund lists 36 companies among its holdings, including ***** eX and OpenAI. Over a 52-week period, DXYZ posted total returns of 21.02%. Over the most recent three-month period, its total returns fell by 44.16%, with its shares trading at $32.94 apiece as of Monday afternoon, down from their 52-week high of $72.87 per share.

A Missouri man called 911 after his girlfriend died at a motel, but investigators say a disturbing discovery soon turned the case into a homicide investigation.
Nicholas Ayres, 35, is now charged with second-degree felony murder and first-degree domestic ****** ault in the death of 37-year-old Destiny Dunn, according to Columbia Police and Boone County jail records.
The investigation began around 3:22 p.m. on Aug. 12, when Ayres called 911 and told a dispatcher that Dunn was lying down, might have a heartbeat and appeared "red and blue," according to a probable cause statement (PCS) reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Ian Machado Garry proclaimed that it was his "destiny" to defeat Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 and become the new welterweight champion. Reality, however, proved otherwise.
Machado Garry (17-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) gave a solid account of himself in a unanimous decision loss to Makhachev (29-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) on Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Victory was not out of his reach, he just didn't have the start he needed or produce enough effective offense to capitalize on what felt like a winnable scenario for him.
It will be a tough pill for Machado Garry to swallow once he watches the fight back and sees that he could've made this result even closer than it was, but there should also be a high degree of confidence he will take it the right way and grow. His comments in the immediate aftermath of the fight showed he didn't lose an ounce of confidence in himself, and that should carry him to a better place going forward.
Machado Garry is entirely accurate when he notes he's only 28, and could easily have another decade of high-level competition ahead of him. There is a solid chance he finds himself back in a ***** le fight one day, it's just a question of how long that will take.
It's no guarantee, though, because the welterweight division is as good as it gets, and it's entirely possible he can't get past the next killer that will undoubtedly be standing across the octagon from him next time out, and be set back even further. He's in the range of the weight class now where zero easy fights are coming his way.

Saturday's Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage showed some of the promise of the 2026 Arizona Wildcats and answered some of the questions, but there were still some left open when the Red team emerged victorious in four sets (20-25, 27-25, 25-18, 15-10).
Red was superior in kills (56-35), hitting percentage (.181 to .109), and blocking (10.0 to 5.0). Both teams had four aces, but they struggled overall on serve.
The initial team lineups were made to be as competitive as possible. Neither team was dominated by presumed starters or returners from last year's team. After the second set, the roster was shaken up where more of the returners and presumed starters were stacked on the Blue team, but that didn't slow down the Red squad.
The Blue team started with Carlie Cisneros and Payton Woods at outside hitter, Britt Carlson at opposite, Journey Tucker and Maya Flemister at middle blocker, Harmony Sample setting, and Brenna Ginder at libero.
Red featured Destiny Ndam-Simpson and Hayden Reeder on the left side, Kennedy Osunsanmi on the right, Mo Siapani at setter, Kristen Dear and Marina Vosloo at middle, and Brookelyn Hatton at libero.

While teenage sensation Rodrigo Mora continues to twist in the wind as Roma and Porto struggle to agree on the finer points of a €50 million transfer, the Giallorossi remain active on other fronts, particularly the wing-back position. In addition to bringing Champions League experience from his days with Atlético Madrid, newly signed right-back Nahuel Molina gives the club a dependable trio of wing-backs, joining Devyne Rensch and our top-rated U-23 player, Wesley França.
There's just one small problem: they're all nominally right wing-backs. Granted, Wesley's success on the left last season gives Gian Piero Gasperini more options at the position, but Roma still lacks a bona fide left wing-back. Earlier this summer, we discussed the possibility of signing Alessio Cacciamani, Torino's über-talented teenage winger, only to remember what a pain in the ***** it is dealing with Urban Cairo.
There have been intermittent whispers that Roma remains interested in Cacciamani, but over the past week, the club has become increasingly linked with Destiny Udogie. The 23-year-old Verona native officially joined Spurs in 2023 after a successful two-year stint with Udinese, where he scored eight goals and provided seven ***** ists in 68 league appearances.
While he hasn't quite matched those counting stats with Spurs, he's been a key piece of the puzzle at Tottenham, making 94 appearances across all competitions over the past three seasons. When silly season began, it seemed Roberto De Zerbi was keen to keep Udogie in North London, but the transfer pendulum has swung the other way.
According to multiple sources in Italy, including Nicolò Schira and Alfredo Pedullà, Spurs are reportedly warming to the idea of life without Udogie.

We asked you whether Tottenham selling Djed Spence to Inter Milan in a deal worth a minimum £25.6m (30m euros) is a wise decision.
Here are some of your comments:
Alistair: No. Seems mad, he's been developed into an elite attacking full-back to pair with Pedro Porro and now he's going. Destiny Udogie is too injury ***** e. What an odd choice, especially if he wants to stay.
Anthony: I definitely don't think it is wise that my team sell Djed Spence. I have always liked him, he's a good defender and he will only get better and better - keep, keep, keep.

Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have built a lasting partnership on their own terms.
The pair met at a charity event in 1986, the same year The Oprah Winfrey Show made its debut. Though they later got engaged, Winfrey and Graham ultimately chose not to walk down the aisle — a decision Winfrey has credited with helping their relationship thrive over the past 40 years.
"He and I agree that had we tied the marital knot, we would not still be together," she wrote in a January 2020 issue of Oprah Daily.
Instead, Winfrey has described what she and Graham share as a "spiritual partnership," borrowing a term from author Gary Zukav.
"Our relationship works because he created an identity beyond being 'Oprah's man.' ... And because we share all the values that matter (integrity being number one)," Winfrey wrote. "And because we relish seeing the other fulfill and manifest their destiny and purpose."

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended police, prisons and jails during a Friday appearance on "The Clay Cane Show," putting distance between his administration and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform as political streamer Steven Bonnell, known online as "Destiny," told Fox News Digital that Mamdani would likely govern moderately while helping more radical candidates gain power.
Bonnell said Mamdani's control of a prominent and politically secure office could allow him to build support for other socialist lawmakers without implementing the DSA's most radical proposals himself.
"I think that Mamdani holds a very powerful, very safe office where he can be entrenched for a long time in order to 'hold the door open' for other, (arguably) more radical lawmakers in the future," he said.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Joao Victor de Souza Menezes was attracting interest in the transfer market as he seeks more playing time.
However, according to Eduardo Burgos, the 20-year-old is poised to remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the season.
Spurs received three offers for the youngster from FC Porto – two official bids and a loan offer. Benfica were also reportedly interested.
It appears that Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is backing him to be a game-changer for the North London club.
Souza joined from Brazil in January but struggled for game time with Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence ahead of him in the pecking order.

Iowa women's basketball added another name to its 2027 targets as the Hawkeyes offered point guard prospect Santana Sabus.
The 5-foot-9 native of Arvada, Colo., stars for Ralston Valley High School and the Hardwood Elite Adidas 3-Stripes Select AAU program, where she is rated as the No. 4 prospect and No. 1 point guard in the state, according to Prep Girls Hoops' 2027 Colorado rankings.

During her junior season, Sabus averaged 23.7 points on 51% shooting and 35% from 3-point range, along with 10.1 rebounds, 3.9 steals, 3.8 ******* ists, and 1.0 blocks in 24 games, per MaxPreps.
Along with Iowa, Sabus has garnered scholarship invitations from Colorado, Kansas, and Washington State.
Four-star combo guard Jada Seubert is Iowa's only 2027 commit so far, but Sabus joins a group of four other prospects who are still considering the Hawkeyes, including forwards Sienna Williams, Nation Williams, and Destiny Manyawu, and center Khalia Hartwell.

Like many who play the Fantasy Premier League game, I'm sure you've already put together various drafts and will continue to do so right up until August 21st.
So don't take this squad as confirmation that it will be the one I start the season with, but I thought I would invite readers to join the Just ******* nal league.

Dystany Spurlock continues to be a disruptor. The 34-year-old will make her fifth ARCA Menards Series start of the year at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Friday.
In March, Spurlock (whose first name is ******* ounced Destiny) became the first Black woman to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned series when she raced in the ARCA Menards Series East at Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, North Carolina. After doing two races in the East series, Spurlock made it to the premier ARCA series in April, when she finished 10th at Kansas Speedway.
Less than a year after Spurlock raced in her second NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle race at IRP, she’ll return to the track, but in a stock car this time.
“To be able to know that I raced over there on the drag strip and now I'm over here on the circle track,” Spurlock told IndyStar, “that means so much to me because I did not know that this would happen so fast within a year’s time.”
Most of Spurlock’s experience before this year came in motorcycle drag racing. She has also raced arena carts and drove in Skip Barber’s Formula 4 series in 2023.
