Less than 24 hours away from Purdue's week two game against Wake Forest it's time for a final look back at Purdue's week 1 game against Indiana State. This week I asked you all to tell me if Purdue's performance against the Sycamores changed your expectations for the rest of the season. It seemed like a good thing to ask given that I had already asked all of you how you graded Purdue's week 1 performance. The results were not great if you're Purdue.
As you can see the majority of respondents graded Purdue at a C. That's not what you want out of week 1 when you're playing a cupcake. So given that C grade I was curious if that changed expectations up or down. Of course. there was also the option for no change. So, let's take a look at the results.
A whopping 76% of respondents didn't change their expectations after week 1 which honestly seems very reasonable, rationale, and not at all okay for this current internet age. Those 76% are the well adjusted respondents. 22% revised their expectations down and those are the people who likely graded Purdue much lower than a C. Honestly, I don't blame them. Then, there are the true sickos. 2% of respondents actually raised their expectations after week 1. I can only ******* ume Fame Ejiobe blew them away and their are pushing all their chips in on him. This time tomorrow we will have a much better idea of who this Purdue team is.
If you'd like to place a wager on tomorrow's Purdue vs. Wake Forest game the line is currently Purdue +2.5 and the O/U in 49.5 from our friends at FanDuel. If you're going to gamble please do so responsibly and don't gamble money that you aren't prepared to lose. Stay safe my friends.

The High Line has hosted forests, billboards, giant pigeons and enough public art to fill a small museum. Its newest resident, however, may be the flashiest yet: a monumental golden "snake" curling through the park in the Meatpacking District.
Bulgari has unveiled auruBOROS—Urban Memory and Collective Dream, a 33-foot pneumatic sculpture created by Berlin-based art and architecture duo Plastique Fantastique. The free installation is now open above Little West 12th Street, near The Standard, High Line, and will remain on view through September 20.
The work resembles a gleaming serpent or double helix, with massive coils rising from beneath the elevated park and wrapping around its concrete supports. Visitors can walk among and through the reflective forms, which shift in appearance as sunlight, shadows and passing New Yorkers bounce off the metallic surface.
The sculpture's name combines aurum, the Latin word for gold, with ouroboros, the ancient image of a serpent eating its own tail. Its location also fits the installation's themes of memory and transformation: the High Line, after all, turned an abandoned freight railway into one of the city's most popular public **** es.
Created by Plastique Fantastique artists Marco Canevacci and Yena Young, auruBOROS is Bulgari's first public art installation in the United States. The duo is known for large-scale inflatable environments, including a giant ring that encircled a Paris footbridge during Nuit Blanche in 2023 and an immersive installation at the 2019 Venice Biennale.

The Baltimore Ravens will begin the Jesse Minter era against an Indianapolis Colts team that scored 466 points and fielded a top-10 offense last season.
Here are five legitimate concerns entering Sunday's opener.
Taylor rushed for 1,585 yards and 18 touchdowns. Baltimore ranked 10th against the run, but its rebuilt defensive front must prove it can contain one of the league's most explosive backs.
Jovaughn Gwyn is scheduled to start at center, with rookie Vega Ioane at right guard. Their first **** ignment comes against DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart.
Jones completed 68% of his passes, averaged 8.1 yards per attempt, and produced a 100.2 passer rating. Before his injury, he operated Shane Steichen's offense with timing and confidence.

Florida soccer has been on a skid as of late, losing two straight games as conference play begins. The Gators have played two back-to-back nationally ranked teams and have fallen to both of them.
The program will have eight days in between before their next match to clean up around the edges and return to the winning column.
UF has a grueling conference schedule, playing three ranked teams as the season goes on. With a week of preparation ahead of their match against Mississippi State, hopefully they flip the switch on the road before returning home.
Here's a look at the latest Florida soccer weekly update, including how the Gators fared in their previous matches, where they stand in the most recent national rankings, and what's ahead for the program.
Florida had many opportunities against the top-five opponent but failed to execute. The Gators had the game tied 1-1 following a goal from sophomore Tatum Borman in the 58th minute; however, the Demon Deacons answered in the 80th minute with a penalty kick that allowed them to skate by in a 2-1 victory. To this point, the Orange and Blue were the only team to score a goal on Wake Forest.

Unai Emery will make late decisions on Matty Cash and Johan Manzambi ahead of Aston Villa's clash with Nottingham Forest.
Cash missed Villa's Champions League win over Club Brugge with what Emery described as a "small injury".
"It is difficult, but we will train now in the afternoon, and we will check him in case he is getting better," Emery said when asked about Cash.
"It is a small injury, and he needed a few days [resting], and today we will test him."
Manzambi, meanwhile, is closing in on his Villa debut after returning to training with the squad this week.

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has dismissed Elliot Anderson's jibe that City are "kings of Manchester" ahead of Sunday's derby.
Already trailing five points behind their bitter rivals, United will face Manchester City at Old Trafford with Anderson's taunt ringing in their ears.
Anderson joined City from Nottingham Forest for £116 million ($156 million) in the close-season after United refused to enter a bidding war for the England midfielder.
The 23-year-old can expect a hostile reception from United fans after adding fuel to the Manchester rivalry.
"For as long as I've known Manchester, City have been the kings of Manchester," Anderson said following his arrival at the Etihad Stadium.

Aryna Sabalenka is hitting the court once again in the Semifinals of the US Open on September 10. She's the No. 1 seed in women's singles, but she doesn't have an easy road ahead of her, as she'll have to beat No. 3 Jessica Pegula, an American playing with home-court advantage, to make the Finals.
Throughout the tournament, Sabalenka has had the support of her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis, who has been proudly watching from the stands. Below, we rounded up everything to know about Frangulis and his relationship with the Belarusian tennis star. Scroll down for more.
Frangulis is a Brazilian entrepreneur who founded the company Oakberry in 2016. Although he studied law in Brazil, he never completed his degree or took the bar exam.
Oakberry is a brand that specializes in açaí products. Açaí berries are harvested in the Amazon rainforest, the majority of which is located in Frangulis' home country of Brazil. Oakberry, which sells açaí bowls, smoothies, and more, has hundreds of stores in dozens of countries.
In August 2016, right before Oakberry was launching, Frangulis was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He had surgery to remove a four-centimeter nodule that October.

Aston Villa will welcome Nottingham Forest at Villa Park this Saturday as they look to secure a win at home in the Premier League. The Villans managed to earn a hard-fought 3-2 win away at Club Brugge recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Unai Emery will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this clash. Ross Barkley and Tyrone Mings could both play from the start of this game.
Zion Suzuki will operate in between the sticks for the Villans after he conceded two goals in his last appearance. Tyrone Mings will continue to function alongside Victor Lindelof at the heart of the Aston Villa backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Ian Maatsen hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Pau Torres will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for an Indianapolis Colts roster that underwent meaningful changes on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis retained Daniel Jones as its starting quarterback and added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to a passing game featuring Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren. Allen gives Jones an experienced route runner who can create separation on third down and in the red zone. The Colts also reshaped portions of their offensive line. Tanor Bortolini is listed as the starting center, with Matt Goncalves at right guard and Jalen Travis at right tackle. Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann provide continuity on the left side, but Baltimore can test the newer combinations with its rebuilt defensive front.
Indianapolis made its most significant defensive investment in the secondary. Sauce Gardner joins Charvarius Ward at cornerback, giving the Colts two accomplished players capable of challenging Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore's other receivers. Cam Bynum and rookie A.J. Haulcy are listed as the starting safeties.
Arden Key was added to a defensive line that already included DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Laiatu Latu. That group should present an immediate test for a Ravens offensive line breaking in new starters at center and right guard.
The Colts' roster is deeper and more experienced in several critical areas. Baltimore still has advantages with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but Indianapolis possesses enough talent to make Jesse Minter's debut uncomfortable if the Ravens fail to establish control early.

Prince George had a milestone day on September 8—his first day at Eton College, which marks a new chapter for the future king.
George, 13, follows in the footsteps of his father Prince William, his uncle Prince Harry, and 20 U.K. prime ministers, all of whom attended the prestigious all-boys school.
George will board at Eton just like the other first-year students, but fortunately Eton is near Forest Lodge, where the Wales family call home.
Today marks a milestone day in Prince George's life—his first day at Eton College, and the beginning of a new chapter for the future king.

Prince George, who turned 13 in July, is hitting a new milestone in September.
Kensington Palace confirmed that he would be starting school at Eton College come the fall semester. He is following in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, and uncle, Prince Harry, who also attended the prestigious boarding school.
Eton College houses about 1,350 students across 25 boarding houses, and each boy has his own room, per their website. Since its founding in 1440, the school has educated 20 British prime ministers, cultural figures and generations of royals.
The school is also close to William and Kate Middleton's family home, about a 15-minute drive from Forest Lodge in Windsor.
As a student, Prince William often walked to Windsor Castle on Sundays to have lunch with Queen Elizabeth. Now, George will become the next future king to join the royal tradition at Eton.

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.

Manchester City begin their 2026-27 Champions League campaign at Porto on Tuesday, the first night of the new league phase and a landmark occasion for Enzo Maresca, who takes charge of a Champions League match for City for the first time since succeeding Pep Guardiola.
Both sides arrive with perfect domestic records, setting up the fifth competitive meeting between two clubs who have never previously finished on the losing side against each other. Porto return to the Champions League proper for the first time since 2023-24 having reclaimed the Primeira Liga ****** le last season, and they arrive full of confidence after seven straight wins in all competitions.
City, by contrast, head to Portugal having laboured to a narrow 1-0 win over Coventry City at the weekend, a game in which club-record £125m signing Enzo Fernandez was thrust into the starting XI earlier than planned following an injury to Nico O'Reilly. Maresca's side have won all three Premier League matches so far this season, though their away form in Europe has been notably shakier than their home record.

Jan Bednarek serves a one-match ban having been sent off in last season's Europa League quarter-final defeat to Nottingham Forest, meaning Nehuen Perez is set to partner Jakub Kiwior in central defence. Victor Froholdt, who was knocked unconscious and hospitalised during last weekend's win over Moreirense, remains sidelined along with Vasco Sousa, Oskar Pietuszewski, Gabriel Mec, Zaidu Sanusi and Samu Aghehowa. Diogo Costa continues in goal behind a defence that has conceded only once in six matches this season.

The Barclays Women's Super League 2 (WSL2) kicked off on Friday night under the lights. We witnessed some shock results, own goals, a red card and new signings shining. It was a ****** per weekend of footballing action.
There was plenty to talk about across the WSL 2 match-week one results, from Sunderland's four-goal win over Bristol City to Ipswich Town's late equaliser against Nottingham Forest. Here's how the opening round unfolded.
Two newly promoted teams faced off as Watford hosted Burnley at Vicarage Road. It was the first time the two teams had ever played each other.
Watford dominated possession but couldn't make any of their 12 shots count against a resolute Burnley defence. Burnley pressed Watford, giving them little to no time on the ball.
Burnley debutant and captain Christie Harrison-Murray came close with an audacious lob, but it drifted beyond Safia Middleton-Patel's post. Saoirse Noonan had Watford's best chance as she arched her run perfectly behind the last defender but shot into the side netting.

Ole Miss kicker Lucas Carneiro bailed out the Rebels with a 48-yard field goal as time expired for a 41-38 win over Louisville on Sunday night.
The No. 9 Rebels had given up 14 straight points after taking a 38-24 lead in the fourth quarter. But an 18-yard completion from Trinidad Chambliss to Caleb Odom set up Carneiro's game-winner.
Louisville tied the game with 1:28 to go on a seven-yard TD run by QB Lincoln Kienholz. Had the Cardinals scored with less time left, it's plausible that coach Jeff Brohm would have gone for a 2-point conversion instead of a game-winning extra point. But Louisville kicked the PAT with the hope of getting the ball back or sending the game to overtime.
That did not happen as neither defense had much success in the second half. The teams combined for over 600 yards in the second half as Chambliss threw three touchdowns and rushed for another after halftime.
He finished 21-of-36 passing for 336 yards and those three touchdowns. Two of them went to Deuce Alexander, who had a breakout game with five catches for 159 yards and a pair of 62-yard touchdowns in that second half. Alexander, who is in his second year with the Rebels after transferring from Wake Forest, didn't top the 100-yard mark in any game in 2025.

The No. 9 Rebels had given up 14 straight points after taking a 38-24 lead in the fourth quarter. But an 18-yard completion from Trinidad Chambliss to Caleb Odom set up Carneiro's game-winner.
Louisville tied the game with 1:28 to go on a seven-yard TD run by QB Lincoln Kienholz. Had the Cardinals scored with less time left, it's plausible that coach Jeff Brohm would have gone for a 2-point conversion instead of a game-winning extra point. But Louisville kicked the PAT with the hope of getting the ball back or sending the game to overtime.
That did not happen as neither defense had much success in the second half. The teams combined for over 600 yards in the second half as Chambliss threw three touchdowns and rushed for another after halftime.
He finished 21-of-36 passing for 336 yards and those three touchdowns.

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner claimed the video **** istant referee (VAR) was "guessing" and should not have intervened in ruling out Neco Williams' goal in their 0-0 draw with Tottenham.
Williams' second-half effort was chalked off with the full-back adjudged to have bundled the ball in with his arm after some calamitous Tottenham defending at the City Ground.
The Forest defender denied it came off his arm and insisted it should have stood.
Initially, referee Craig Pawson awarded the goal but VAR Peter Bankes intervened.
"I watched five or six different angles and, to be fair, from one angle you can guess that the ball touched the arm because the shirt moves a little bit, but it's not clear is it the ball or [Sandro] Tonali on the goalline," said Glasner.

Nottingham Forest felt they were denied a legitimate goal by VAR after Neco Williams' finish was controversially ruled out against Spurs on Saturday.
The full-back had the ball in the net after Sandro Tonali failed to clear the ball in the six-yard box, diving head-first to send it over the line.
Replays showed, however, that the Wales international handled the ball on the line, so the goal was chalked off following a VAR review.
It was the best chance in a game that ended scoreless at the City Ground, though Williams is adamant that the ball did not touch his hand and the goal should have stood.
"It's a goal," he told Sky Sports. "VAR is there when there is a clear and obvious error and for me that is not clear and obvious. I've seen the images and the replays and at not one moment did I think I handballed it. I headed it in between my arms.

It has been more than half a century since Tottenham have gone this long without a league goal to start the season.
A City Ground stalemate at Nottingham Forest at least gets Roberto de Zerbi's side their first point of the season but not to the extent they would want.
It followed defeats to Brentford and Newcastle which means Spurs have failed to score in their opening three league games for the first time since 1974-75.
Spurs did not play badly - they were the better side - but after their huge summer transfer outlay more is needed and expected.
De Zerbi preached patience and he is right - 10 senior arrivals means his team is still to find an identity.

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.

New-look Manchester City overcame a spirited challenge from Coventry on Saturday courtesy of an Erling Haaland goal to stay perfect in the Premier League, as blunt Tottenham were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
Enzo Maresca is now the man in the Etihad hotseat after the emotional departure of long-serving Pep Guardiola, while there has been significant churn among the playing staff.
One of the new arrivals, Enzo Fernandez, played a major part in City's first-half goal, feeding Antoine ******* yo, who crossed for Haaland to head home his third of the season.
Table-topping City have won all three of their Premier League matches ahead of next week's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Former Chelsea boss Maresca said teams needed "ugly moments" as well as free-flowing football after the stodgy win, in which newly promoted Coventry squandered chances.

Nottingham Forest were left furious as a potential winner against Tottenham was controversially ruled out by VAR for a handball on Neco Williams.
The 0-0 draw at the City Ground left both sides without a win in the Premier League this season but Forest were close to taking all three points.
Players wait during a VAR check after Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams scored, only to be ruled out for handball (PA)
The incident came halfway through the second half after Morgan Gibbs-White was slipped through on goal and looked to ******* his finish over the goalkepeer.
Gibbs-White's goal-bound chip could have been cleared fairly easily by Sandro Tonali but the Spurs midfielder missed his kick as the ball bounced towards the line.

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.

Andoni Iraola has said Liverpool 'need a win' at Ipswich Town tomorrow after a frustrating start to the season.
Liverpool have opened thePremier League campaign with successive draws, as Iraola awaits his first win as manager. The Reds have twice trailed against both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, before fighting back to earn late draws.
Iraola acknowledges that improvement is needed ahead of tomorrow's trip to Portman Road.
"We need a win, we are frustrated at this part of the job. I think we need to stick to games but I want to win, I need to win," he said at hispre-match press conference.
"We will go with this same [mentality] tomorrow. I think the first two gameweeks were probably the most difficult ones in terms of the market being open.

Forest Green Rovers winger Joshua Osude is set to miss more than two months after falling while getting out of the shower and partially rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.
The 27-year-old has featured in all five National League matches so far this season for Robbie Savage's side, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win at Worthing.
"He came in on Tuesday morning because we were in for a debrief, warm-down and recovery and Josh, who has been a shining light for us this season, said 'I've got out the shower, slipped, knee swollen up' and he's got a partial rupture of his ACL," Savage told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"Not good news - he's going to be out for eight to 12 weeks."

Liverpool's season hinges on Alexander Isak remembering he is Alexander Isak.
During his time at Newcastle United, he struck 20+ goals in back-to-back seasons and regularly dominated the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Gabriel and William Saliba. He was, after Erling Haaland, the most feared striker in the English top-flight.
For the Reds, however, he's yet to show that version of himself. Injuries disrupted his debut season on Merseyside while he's failed to really impose himself on either of the two opening games this term. He did, however, find the back of the net against Nottingham Forest, tapping home a Cody Gakpo cross.
While the Liverpool No9 may have the highest Non-Penalty Expected Goals total in the Premier League this term, the data doesn't reveal all. A significant chunk of that was tied to a double chance against Newcastle, when the ball almost ricocheted off of his head twice in quick succession. It went down as two, high value chances, and skews the overall total.
He finished well against Forest but outside of that he's been anonymous. And this is a bit of a problem for Liverpool right now with Hugo Ekitike out until the New Year with an Achilles issue.

Three attacks involving an animal that "displayed unusually aggressive behavior toward people," which can be ******* ociated with rabies, have been reported in New Hampshire, according to authorities. However, officials have yet to determine exactly what type of animal is ambushing the unsuspecting humans.
From Aug. 30-31, police received three reports of animal attacks in the same area of Lebanon, about 122 miles northwest of Boston, according to news releases from the Lebanon Police Department. The attacks seem to be unprovoked, and police believe the same animal is responsible.
Video shows the moment one person was attacked by the unknown animal. The wild animal is shown running from what appears to be a wooded area as the victim walks around a moving truck. The animal then goes after the person's legs in an unprovoked attack. It attacks the victim multiple times. The victim is seen flinging the animal away from them after it attacks their legs again, and then the animal returns to the wooded area.
The animal responsible for the attacks has not been identified, but witnesses say they believe the animal is either a gray fox or a fisher, a nocturnal mammal in the weasel family, according to Defenders of Wildlife. It is an elusive animal that lives in forests throughout the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes states.
It "reportedly displayed unusually aggressive behavior toward people," police said. This behavior is ******* ociated with animals that have contracted rabies, which can be lethal in humans if they do not seek medical attention before symptoms appear, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
