The Green Bay Packers got a pair of first half touchdowns from Jordan Love to take a commanding lead, and Jonathan Gannon's aggressive defense confounded Dak Prescott the rest of the way, leading Matt LaFleur's team to a 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 6. The Packers have now won three straight games since a 1-2 start.
Highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly coming out of the Packers' primetime win over the Cowboys:
The start on offense, and finish on defense: Jordan Love was picked off on Green Bay's second possession, but the Packers offense scored on three of the four first-half drives, all gaining at least 70 yards. The long, time-consuming drives helped the Packers keep the Dallas offense on the sideline and build a 17-0 lead at the half. But when the Packers offense sputtered over the final 30 minutes, Jonathan Gannon's defense had answers, producing a pair of stops on fourth down in the fourth quarter. The garbage time touchdown meant little. The Packers ended up holding the Cowboys to only 13 points, a winning performance 10 times out of 10.
Love under pressure: Jordan Love's passer rating finished at 74.8, a pedestrian number in today's NFL, but drops drastically affected his final stat line, and Love was excellent when pressured. He found completions on 11 pressured dropbacks. Many of his best throws came on third down against pressure. The Packers started the game converting nine of the first 10 opportunities on third down.
The offensive line: Sunday night was a step backwards for the offensive line, which allowed Jordan Love to be pressured on 45.5 percent of his dropbacks, per Next Gen Stats, and paved the way for a lifeless run game that averaged 2.2 yards per carry. Love was sacked three times, and the Cowboys were credited with eight quarterback hits. In the run game, the Packers didn't have a designed run over six yards, and the three running backs combined to rush 20 times for 36 yards. Matt LaFleur wants to build continuity up front, but it's probably time to see what Kevin Zeitler can do at right guard, and there will be a decision to make on who starts at left guard between Laken Tomlinson and Aaron Banks next week.

If you're thinking about how to maximize your savings, chances are you've come across high-yield savings accounts (HYSAs) and certificates of deposit (CDs). Both can offer competitive interest rates that drastically outpace those of traditional savings accounts. But which account — an HYSA or a CD — will earn you more in one year?
Here's a look at how the earnings on a $10,000 deposit compare over 12 months, based on the interest rate and account type.
On average, savings accounts currently earn just 0.38% APY. However, traditional savings accounts and HYSAs can offer vastly different yields.
For example, a savings account from Chase Bank earns 0.01% APY. Meanwhile, some of the best HYSAs earn above 4% APY.

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike — the first in three years — is a policy shift that will have a domino effect for retirees.
Those in retirement and those nearing retirement need to factor interest rates into their investment decisions. To explain what the Fed hike might mean, Yahoo Finance talked to several wealth management advisers and finance professionals.
First off, it's important to keep in mind that one quarter-point rate hike won't drastically alter anyone's fortunes.
"A single rate hike rarely helps or hurts a retiree outright," said Michael Cochran, chief investment officer at BentOak Capital in Fort Worth, Texas. "It reshuffles the deck where there are benefits, but also some pressures."
A rate hike could be good news because it means that savings yields will likely rise, said LendingTree chief consumer finance **** yst Matt Schulz.

Wall Street is looking beyond this week's Federal Reserve interest-rate decision to a potentially bigger market-moving signal: the Fed's latest dot plot and what it says about the path for rates after an expected quarter-point hike.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh faces a pivotal test of his inflation-fighting credibility as policymakers confront hotter prices, rising energy costs, and mounting bets on further rate increases.
A hike on Sept. 16 would be the Fed's first increase since July 2023, but investors may care even more what the dot plot signals for additional hikes and how aggressively Warsh intends to push rates to bring inflation back to the central bank's 2% goal.
Note that a rate hike is certain to draw highly vocal criticism from President Donald Trump and his allies, who have been campaigning for a drastic slash to 1% or less for years.
Remember, the Fed doesn't traditionally pull the "one and done" game when it comes to increasing the benchmark short-term interest rate. The Federal Open Market Committee reset of the Federal Funds Rate usually lands in a package of at least two, if not more.

Sep. 14—The term sabermetrics was first coined by Bill James in 1980. It took quite a bit longer, however, for the idea to catch on with the baseball populace, but eventually acronyms like WAR, VORP and UZR caught on as a way to ****** yze the sport.
Analytics are equally as important these days in college basketball. It's why you hear Illinois coach Brad Underwood constantly referencing his team's adjusted offensive efficiency and offensive rebounding rate. Paid services like Synergy give coaching staffs an ****** ytical breakdown of their team to the finest detail.
Publicly available sites like , and , however, have broadened the usage and acceptance of a different way to follow and break down the sport. (KenPom and CBBAnalytics do have a subscription piece but are drastically cheaper than Synergy).
It's through those sites Illinois fans could track one of the most efficient offenses in the modern era during the 2025-26 season. The Illini eventually finished second in adjusted offensive efficiency behind Purdue last season. That particular metric was helped by the Illini not turning the ball over (eighth in turnover rate) and dominating the offensive glass (third in offensive rebounding rate).
One particular metric Illinois tracks is shot volume.

Hawthorne waited over two hours to prove to the Florida high school football world that it belongs.
Once the ball kicked off at 9:15 p.m. vs. Miami Northwestern, the Hornets made their statement in their typical fashion.
Through a physical, defensive brand of football that results in a win.
Hawthorne defeated Miami Northwestern 16-12 Thursday night at Annie Mae Phillips Stadium to improve to 4-0 on the 2026 season and hand the Bulls their first loss of the season.
The tone of the game changed drastically after Hawthorne QB and 2025 All-Area Small School Player of the Year Richard Roundtree suffered an ankle injury on the first drive.

The Los Angeles Clippers are still reeling in the aftermath of a cap circumvention scandal. For their part in helping Kawhi Leonard secure millions in off-the-court, "no-show" endorsement deals, the franchise had to give up five first-round picks and $30 million, culminating in one of the most severe penalties in NBA history.
Through it all, Kawhi escaped the scandal relatively unscathed. Besides a $700K fine, he didn't face any major consequences, and even his trade to the Toronto Raptors remains completely untouched. And yet, even now, the Clippers have yet to finalize the trade, leading some executives to suspect they are considering some sort of revenge against Leonard for how he's turned his back on the team.
"The Raptors, I'm told, are eager to consummate the trade after initially placing it on hold July 9 (to guard against a Leonard suspension or the outright voiding of his contract) and still firmly believe that the deal will happen as agreed upon and intended. Ditto for Leonard and his camp," wrote NBA insider Marc Stein. "Yet the delay has naturally led some league observers to wonder aloud whether the Clippers are holding off — or considering something even more drastic — to spite Leonard for so readily accepting the league's punishment rather than invoking his right to pursue an appeal. Any formal appeal within the NBA's auspices in such matters, remember, must be initiated by the player in question rather than the team according to league by-laws."
The Clippers have given up everything for Kawhi, and they set themselves back 10 years just to make him happy. From his very arrival, Kawhi was making outlandish requests and even forced the Clippers to give up five first-round picks (along with future MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) in a deal for Paul George. By the end, the total cost of Leonard's services amounts to 10 first-round picks (not counting SGA), and it was all for a team that never made the Finals.
So when the Clippers were caught holding the bag in the cap circumvention scandal, they naturally expected some level of cooperation from Leonard, someone they moved heaven and earth to appease. Instead, he settled with the NBA right away, avoiding more severe penalties while stripping the Clippers of any power to fight back.

Meet the 7 underrated QBs who could be college football's next Fernando Mendoza originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
There might never be a better example of how drastically a quarterback class can change in a few short months than the 2025 college football season.
LaNorris Sellers, Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier were all considered legitimate first-round prospects and potential Heisman Trophy contenders. The name Fernando Mendoza was known by a much more limited number of fans, with the exception of those who stayed up deep into the night to watch him duel with Cam Ward at Cal.
The quarterbacks to watch this college football season are supposed to be Arch Manning, Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Julian Sayin, Trinidad Chambliss and Darian Mensah. It doesn't usually work out that way, though.
At least one quarterback without much name recognition in Week 1 is going to find his way into the thick of the Heisman Trophy race or the first round discussion, if not both. A rise like Mendoza's is tough to mirror, but there are a number of quarterbacks who have the talent to reach stardom in 2026.

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says he is happy that the Black Cats have kept the core of the squad but says they need more numbers to deal with extra European fixtures - and signing a forward is "imperative".
"I'm happy with this squad because it's the core that we had last season - 90% of the players from last season are still here, and I think that is the most important thing," Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"We need a few more numbers just because of the amount of these extra games that we're going to have to play, but they're not going to do anything too drastic because Regis le Bris has already talked about the size of his squad and what he can handle."
When asked about which position should be a priority for sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, Gabbiadini cited the forward line despite being content with Trai Hume and Nilson Angulo starting on the wing in Sunderland's opening games of the season.
"Another forward is imperative - in case of injuries more than anything, but it is always good to have competition in those places.

The White Sox disappointed in the first game of this four-game series in Houston, falling 6-3 to the Astros.
Things were calm until the third inning, when Anthony Kay saw a little base path trouble after a throwing error and a walk put two runners on. Yordan Alvarez sent Nick Allen in to score with a ground out, but a fly out straight to Sam Antonacci ended any further damage.
The White Sox knotted the score 1-1 right away, as Colson Montgomery doubled in the top of the fourth with one out, Chase Meidroth singlingand him home. Tristan Peters was plunked, and in a pickoff attempt, the ball got away, sending Meidroth to third. Antonacci picked up a walk (without being hit!) to load the bases with two outs. Houston starter Peter Lambert's command in the fourth drastically dropped, as he walked Munetaka Murakami to force in the lead run. Miguel Vargas left the bases loaded with a liner to second, but the Good Guys were up, 2-1.
Braden Montgomery got caught in-between on a Cam Smith liner to right, and as has happened too frequently that ball skipped past him for a triple. Kay was frazzled by the three-bagger, so much so that Nelson Velázquez crushed a home deep and high to left, making it 3-2, Astros.
It got worse from there, as the White Sox mustered no offense while Houston added on. In the fifth, three singles loaded the bases, with just one out. Instead of a pitch that would prompt a ground-ball double play to end the inning and keep the score tight, Kay walked in a run. Kay bounced back with a K, but with two outs was pulled in favor of Trevor Richards, who surrendered a double to Smith double and stretching the deficit to 6-2.

Manchester United are preparing to host Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon, but their starting lineup could drastically differ from the one they fielded in Hull last weekend.
The Red Devils began their campaign with a shocking 0-2 defeat against the Tigers. Therefore, they could ill-afford a misstep against another freshly promoted Premier League club, especially in their first home fixture of the season.
But to achieve a better result, Michael Carrick will have to make some tweaks to his lineup, obliterating some of the players who had poor performances in Hull.

Last weekend, Senne Lammens was one of the few Man Utd players who wasn't bashed for his display. Despite conceding two goals, he still had to pull off solid saves to spare his team further embarrassment. The Belgian goalkeeper's place in the lineup has never been in doubt since his arrival a year ago.

Last season, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little drilled a 68-yard field goal that became the longest field goal ever made in an NFL game. That kick was actually shorter than the 70-yarder he hit during the preseason. Then, just last week, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker hit a 69-yarder of his own.
Absurdly long field goals are becoming a pattern in the NFL, and it's almost surely going to continue this year.
Over the past few seasons, the NFL has quietly made some changes to its kicking **** that seem to have made things noticeably easier on kickers. That, coupled with the recent kickoff changes that have made a drastic impact on starting field position, has led to an increase in incredibly long field goals.
Ahead of the 2025 season, the NFL quietly passed a resolution that allowed teams to prepare their kicking **** – known in the league as "K-balls" – before game day, rather than during game day. The change got very little publicity, likely because **** ody really expected the change to make a drastic difference. But it seems to have, and Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio took notice.
Following a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which kicker Chase McLaughlin hit a 65-yard field goal and a 58-yard field goal, Fangio brought up the quiet rule change, saying that it made a "drastic" impact on the kicking game. Fangio said the impact has been so drastic that he compared it to the steroid era of Major League Baseball.

With the relationship between MLB and the MLB Players ******* ociation already tense, the league is continuing to make suggestions that the union is not happy about. On Thursday, MLB reportedly proposed drastic changes to the offseason, including a shortened free agency window, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Thursday.
Under the proposal, per Passan, the free agency window would open the Monday after the Winter Meetings in early December, and would close Dec. 21. No free agency signings or trades would be allowed until the first Monday in February, at which they would be allowed to resume.
The period would be preceded by a "dead period" where players can negotiate with players, but not sign — similar to the NFL's "legal tampering" period.
The somewhat radical proposal would slash the amount of time that players could sign in the offseason, making it much more difficult for players to leverage deals between teams, meaning that money is left on the table.
Additionally, the shortened offseason period relates to the contentious issue of the proposed salary cap, something that MLB has been heavily pushing for in the new collective bargaining agreement while the union has strongly pushed back.

The preseason finale for the Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers is here, and both teams have made headlines for drastically different things.
The Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick and drafted quarterback Fernando Mendoza. In limited action, the rookie has at times looked the part, and also has shown there's still a ways to go. That much is evident and has led the Raiders to decide they'll give the QB1 job to Kirk Cousins until Mendoza is ready to go.
When Mendoza is ready to go, however, is anyone's guess. The Raiders are determined to slow-play it with their passer of the future, leading to questions of when the passer will make his Sunday debut this season.
The 49ers have eyes on a Lombardi Trophy once again, but they've had to navigate some off-the-field distractions throughout training camp, an inauspicious start to their season. First, it was Kyle Shanahan's car accident and the questions that persisted. In the month that followed, principal owner Jed York was arrested.
In between, the 49ers lost wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to a knee injury, Mike Evans dealt with ****** ps and bruises and substation conspiracy theories resurfaced.

LIV Golf will lay off the majority of its staff next week under drastic reforms intended to keep the breakaway tour afloat next year, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The layoffs come after LIV Golf lost the deep-pocketed Saudi investors that had spent a reported $5 billion over several years to lure many top stars from golf's PGA Tour.
That funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) came to an abrupt end following last weekend's Indianapolis LIV season finale event.
While LIV officials say a "2.0" version of the tour will re-emerge under new investors next season, with a shorter schedule and reduced prize money, that remains deeply uncertain.
"The funding commitment announced by PIF earlier this year will reach its conclusion. As a result, we are scaling back operations as we transition to the next chapter of LIV Golf and work toward making LIV 2.0 a reality," said the LIV spokeswoman, in a statement.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt might consider a career-changing move after their recent trip to Slovenia to spend time with Luka Doncic.
Doncic invited all his Lakers teammates for the 2026-27 season to his home country of Slovenia, getting to know the players on the massively adjusted roster before a new season.
One of the Lakers players who seemed to have a blast was 27-year-old Vanderbilt, who might be considering a drastic move that a former Lakers teammate made regarding Doncic.
Vanderbilt gave an interview before the Lakers left Slovenia, where he mentioned he is trying to get a Slovenian passport.
"It was amazing… The trip was great. I would love to (come back to Slovenia)… I'm looking to get a Slovenian passport. We'll see. Might be part Slovenian."

After BCCI dissolves national selectors' role in picking zonal teams, sanctity of the tournament comes under scanner

CHENNAI/NEW DELHI: A few days before the Duleep Trophy got underway at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru on Sunday, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia announced that the final will be shifted to MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The reason given was that there will be fans who will come to watch the match, which doesn't happen in the CoE.

Chennai is a cricket-crazy centre. But when you ask those who 'book' their IPL tickets long before the event, whether they would be interested in attending the Duleep final, the standard query is: "Will Shubman Gill play?"

Gill, in this case, stands for all the stars of Indian cricket. The Duleep final is from Sept 6-10, and it will be interesting to see that those who are not part of the Afghanistan T20 series starting on Sept 12 turn out at MAC.

That said, the primary purpose of the inter-zonal tournament is to check out the best performers in the Ranji Trophy go head-to-head against each other. The relevance of the tournament, especially after the inception of IPL, has diminished drastically. Yet, it remains a stepping stone for a lot of players.

The tournament's sanctity has been up for debate with the selection process. The BCCI, in the last decade, has often tried playing the tournament with national selectors picking the India 'A', 'B' and 'C' teams.

This year, the board has reverted to the inter-zonal format and has kept the national selectors out of the equation. The result? Delhi opener Sanat Sangwan, who scored 828 runs in seven Ranji Trophy matches, was on Sunday, benched by the North Zone management and instead middle-order batter Yash Dhull was played as an opener. The Central Zone team has only one player from semifinalist Uttarakhand while Madhya Pradesh was the only team from the zone to have qualified for the quarterfinals. There have been a few debatable selections in the South Zone team as well.

Former national selector Devang Gandhi believes that a national selector has to be involved in the selection process if the sanctity of the tournament is to be saved. "When we were selectors from 2016-2021, BCCI had given us the responsibility of picking the Duleep Trophy to maintain continuity in a player's development. If the opener with the highest runs in the country doesn't get to play Duleep Trophy, it defeats the purpose of the tournament. The board must at least ensure one selector from each zone is present in planning their respective zonal teams. Otherwise, politics at the state **** ociation level can crop up. There's no accountability if BCCI selectors are not used," Gandhi told TOI.

"Today we are seeing Manav Suthar and Saransh Jain as products of domestic cricket. If that structure is compromised, then it will be difficult to see such journeys," Gandhi added.

TOI understands that the selection committee has been asking for a greater role

As the left tackle competition with the Chicago Bears heats up between Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet, Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills, the Bears got some promising news about their starting left tackle from last season, Ozzy Trapilo.
Jones started last season as Chicago's left tackle before Trapilo eventually became the starter, replacing Benedet. In the Bears' playoff win against the Green Bay Packers, Trapilo tore his patellar tendon that was expected to sideline him for most of the 2026 season. But, that timeline has changed drastically when he was activated off the physically unable to perform list and back at practice. Quarterback Caleb Williams sounded off on Trapilo' to be back in practice and 's return and his quick recovery.
"Excited. Obviously, he played a lot for us last year being the left tackle for me, and so I'm excited for him, especially being able to recover, so fast with a pretty bad injury," Williams said. "So I'm excited for him, excited for us, and excited for him to get back on the field whenever that happens, whenever he's healthy and ready."
In Chicago's first preseason game, Amegadjie got most of the reps at left tackle. Jones did not play in the game at all while Wills some limited snaps. Those snaps did not help his case for the starting job while Amegadjie had a solid day. In the Bears' second preseason outing, it was Jones getting the start with Benedet and Amegadjie seeing action later.
It's unlikely that Trapilo will be ready for the season opener, so the left tackle competition is still important to determine who will start the season. However, whoever wins this job will probably play less time given Trapilo's progress in his recovery.

The Washington Huskies capped off their 2026 training camp with Saturday's mock game inside Husky Stadium. The evening event allowed fans to enjoy the final stages of summer while hearing from coach Jedd Fisch and gave a first look at the team before the regular season begins.
Despite some standout performances that show the kind of talent on the roster, the biggest takeaway from the night had nothing to do with the play on the field. Rather, the biggest win is the fact that the Huskies remain completely healthy as they look to turn the page towards their season opener in the Apple Cup against the Washington State Cougars.
"Glad we got through camp pretty healthy, really healthy, I think. We're getting everyone back at the right time, so [we] should have everyone back, or close to it, starting for practice on Sunday," Fisch told the media after the scrimmage.
Although Washington didn't suffer any severe injuries throughout training camp, there are a few key names that have been limited over the past two weeks. Center Landen Hatchett, cornerback Dylan Robinson, and right guard Champ Taulealea were among the starters who have not been a full-go in recent practices. However, Fisch said he expects them all to be practicing by as early as next week.
In recent years, the Huskies have suffered drastically from the injury bug, with outside linebacker Zach Durfree, cornerback Tacario Davis, and wide receivers Omari Evans and Rashid Williams among the list of players heading into the 2025 season who missed time due to injury.

ST. LOUIS — Four birdies on the back nine of his opening round drastically improved Justin Thomas' week in St. Louis, where the 2019 BMW Champion posted a 3-under 67 to sit three shots off Gary Woodland's clubhouse lead.
The week started abnormally for Thomas, who copped to practicing harder than usual on Monday after coming off a T-47 finish at TPC Southwind last week and entering Bellerive No. 44 in FedExCup scoring.
Only problem for JT? The extra work backfired — at least in the short term.
"Just couldn't get anything going and then — more than anything — I left there in a way worse place mentally than I feel like I should have or would have liked or hoped," said Thomas of his time in Memphis.
"It was a day that I likely would take off, but I just wanted to come out and feel like I kind of had some positivity or something to build on," he added about the work put in earlier this week. "It took a lot longer than I planned or wanted it to. Really it was, honestly, a pretty terrible day, to be perfectly honest."

This NBA offseason has been an unforgettable one. Both Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been traded. LeBron James is on a new team. So much has happened. While there can only be one NBA champion each season, there are a handful of teams that believe they are best suited for the job. On the other end of that equation are the teams who know they don't have what it takes to win the championship, and that's ok.
Each season, rosters around the NBA change drastically. Players get traded, they sign to a new team, or get drafted. Some teams make good moves, some make bad. Some make a lot, some make none. It all depends on the state of your team. Whether it looks like a good move or a bad move, only time can tell. It happens every year when teams and fans get ahead of themselves, thinking they are better than they truly are.
So while some teams may fit in that boat, let's take a look at teams that seem to be heading in the right direction going into the 2026-27 season.

The Chicago Bulls have finally begun trending in the right direction, and it all started at the draft lottery. While the Bulls were projected to have around the 9th pick in the 2026 draft, they jumped all the way to the fourth spot and selected Caleb Wilson. A very fortunate beginning to new General Manager Bryson Graham's career. Wilson is exactly what the Bulls needed and what most teams search for. A young player who has star potential that they can build around. In summer league, Wilson looked extremely polished. He is super athletic, proved he can stretch the floor, and truthfully did everything you could ask for in a 20-year-old.

The BSD staff recently voted for the top 10 Penn State players heading into 2026. The votes are dictated by how the players are expected to perform in the upcoming season, without factoring in long-term or NFL potential. Each member submitted a ballot with players ranked 1-10, with a first-place vote being 10 points, a second-place vote worth nine points, and so on. Up next is offensive lineman Anthony Donkoh.
As a four-star recruit coming out of Lightridge High School in Aldie, Virginia, Donkoh committed to Penn State as part of the program's 2023 class. After redshirting his true freshman year in 2023 while appearing in four games, Anthony saw his playing time drastically increase in 2024, appearing in 11 games and starting 10 of them for a Nittany Lion squad that ultimately made it to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Despite trying times in 2025, Donkoh played a critical role on the offensive line as he played in all 13 of PSU's games, starting in 11 of them, and notably stumping for Terry Smith to get the permanent head coaching job after the Nittany Lions waxed Nebraska at home on Senior Night, when the coaching search was still in limbo.
There's a reason why Anthony joined Rocco Becht and Tony Rojas in Chicago for Big Ten Media Days last month. In addition to being a highly talented player, he is also the most experienced returning offensive lineman and will help anchor the right side of the line. How the O-line performs as a unit in 2026 hinges a good amount on whether Anthony picks up where he left off from last season. Given his career trajectory thus far, it's a pretty good bet that he will do so.

Maternity wear is not what it used to be. Clothes for pregnant bodies have drastically changed over the course of the last decade, and Anne Hathaway's maternity style is a case study in just how much that category has evolved.
From 2016's minidresses and caftans to the era of freeing the baby ***** p and celebrating changing bodies, Hathaway's maternity wear follows a trajectory that has seen luxury labels and fashion houses create customized pieces and designs for pregnant bodies. WWD takes a closer look at Hathaway's maternity style evolution ahead.

December to August; not quite the length of that we were hoping for as League Cup champions, but better to have reigned and lost than never to have reigned at all.
Sunday's visit to Govan posed a real test for Craig McLeish and his developing side. The dramatic shift from pragmatic nuisances to free-flowing ball players has navigated lower-league opposition, a slightly bruised Falkirk and newly-promoted St Johnstone thus far - and looked mostly effective while doing so.
Do you double down on this approach against a toiling Rangers side? Or, as in times gone by, do you bow to more cautious instincts in front of 50,000 and their richly-assembled charges?
At the weekend, this Trojan panda filled with an equal share of possession and playing out from the back was rolled up to the Ibrox gates and left for the Premiership's good-honest-fitba-in-chief Derek McInnes to drag inside. Ninety dramatic minutes and five conceded goals later, the Saints were out and Ibrox remained unsacked.
To try to paint this performance as even partially positive is futile. Accusations of naivety or more drastic criticism, however, are a little short-sighted.
