CAIRO (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied Friday in a government-organized show of defiance after months of war, pledging their readiness to take up arms in the biggest such demonstration since the United States and Israel attacked in February.
Iran's government has sought to rally the people and stress national unity, even as the economy worsens under a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and new U.S. sanctions. On Friday, it claimed another attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway it has sought to control since the start of the war.
Estimates varied of the number of people volunteering to receive limited military training and defend the country in an effort described as "Janfaday-e Iran," or the "ones who sacrifice their lives for Iran." They marched through downtown Tehran in combat uniform, carrying flags, as onlookers cheered.
For days, state media have encouraged Iranians to join the campaign, saying training with **** ault rifles would begin soon. The volunteers would be an additional layer of security to the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and the Basij militia, which has played a key role in quashing anti-government protests.
Tehran's Guard chief, Gen. Hassan Hassanzadeh, told the state broadcaster that over 600,000 people had registered to participate, with over 1 million expected to take part in the training. On Friday morning, the broadcaster estimated over 300,000 people were on the streets.

Sue Bird took center stage in Apple TV's recently-released three-part docuseries on the history of UConn women's basketball, which focused its second episode on the program's bitter, longstanding rivalry with Pat Summit's Tennessee.
Bird starred for Geno Auriemma from 1998 to 2002, a stretch that included two Final Four matchups with the Volunteers and served as the apex of tensions between the two programs. The Hall of Famer praised the Apple TV production for a nostalgic look back at her legendary run with the program and for spotlighting the themes that have defined Auriemma's four decades leading UConn.
"I finally got a chance to check out 'The Dynasty: UConn Huskies,' the doc that was on Apple TV," Bird said on her "Bird's Eye View" podcast Monday. "And listen, I loved it. I think we can all agree, right from the jump, that it is so well done. It is a wonderful documentary."
"There were certain players or certain eras touched on more, but I think what has always united us as players, whether you played together or not, was that we all had very similar experiences. The journey might have been different, but the arc was really, really similar. So, you definitely got a sense of what it was like to play at the University of Connecticut."
As one of the most recognizable stars from UConn's turn-of-the-century teams, Sue Bird was closely involved with the production in the documentary. The star point guard provided perspective on UConn's rivalry with Tennessee, ranging from humbling regular-season losses as an underclassman to a memorable 23-point drubbing in the 2002 Final Four, while also reflecting on getting busted at a bar with her Huskies teammates and an Auriemma mental breakdown that led him to hide under the Gampel Pavilion bleachers.

For the second time in three weeks, inclement weather factored in several games during Week 3, including a state-ranked showdown between Steele and Lake Travis, which ended in a 28-28 time. LEE climbs into the top 20 for the first time, along with three others. The Volunteers are 3-0 for the first time in 11 years. Brandeis dropped nine spots to No. 15 after a 20-12 loss against New Braunfels Canyon, which climbed three to No. 13. Here's how the Week 4 rankings unfolded:

Democratic state parties announced Monday that they are launching an operation for the midterm elections they're calling the "New Battlefield Project," intended to recruit 10,000 volunteers to guard polling places in case armed federal officers show up.
Activists are planning mass protests if the Trump administration tries to interfere with voting or ballot counting. And legal scholars are distributing white papers advising judges what they should do if the government tries to seize ballots.
The unprecedented efforts are in response to President Donald Trump's equally unprecedented moves to interfere in this year's midterm elections, which include attempts to impose proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote and directing the Postal Service to play a central role in deciding which voters should get a mail ballot.
The anxious contingency planning as voting gets underway has become a marker for how fraught democracy has become in the country that once stood as an example to the world.
"We have never prepared for an election sabotage event like we have now," said Ezra Levin of the left-leaning group Indivisible.

Opponents in scheduled contests this week against School of Languages and Bradley Tech will now be playing each other amid an ongoing investigation into an incident stemming from a Sept. 4 football game between Tech and School of Languages.
Bay View had been scheduled to face School of Languages on Sept. 10, while Milwaukee Hamilton was scheduled to face Bradley Tech on Sept. 11. Those games have both been canceled. Hamilton and Bay View will now face each other at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 11 at Pulaski Stadium, per multiple City Conference sources.
"Based on communications with the WIAA, along with careful consideration of player safety, neither Bradley Tech or MSL will be able to compete this week," a City Conference spokesperson told the Journal Sentinel on Sept. 10. "Our priority remains the safety of all athletes, coaches, staff, volunteers, and spectators. These actions are in accordance with our district policies and WIAA guidelines."
The City Conference spokesperson also confirmed that "at this time, only games this week are impacted," while declining to specify the number of student-athletes disciplined "to respect the privacy of the individuals on both teams."
Bradley Tech's (2-1) next scheduled game is Sept. 17 against Milwaukee Reagan at 7 p.m., while School of Languages (1-2) is scheduled to face Hamilton on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.

Well, that is quite the vote of confidence from the oddsmakers.
The Tennessee Volunteers have had a Week 2 road date at Georgia Tech circled for quite a while on the calendar. The Vols' biggest non-conference game, it's one that could be a true swing game to the season for the Big Orange. It's one that some have circled as interesting and a true potential challenge for Josh Heupel.
But Vegas made a pretty strong statement about the game after the Week 1 results unfolded for both teams. Tennessee opens as a 13.5-point road favorite against the Yellow Jackets.
That's a very big number, and higher than I thought it would be.
I have to wonder how much of that came from the Yellow Jackets' late-game blunder on Thursday against Colorado. Tech led 10-7 and had the ball deep inside Colorado territory first-and-10 with two minutes left. They lost 14-13 on a blocked field goal at the gun in a truly insane final two minutes of the game. But they led for the vast majority of the game and really gave that game away.

It was the end of an era last season when Gary Danielson called his final game with CBS after 20 seasons as CBS's lead college football ****** yst.
Play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler, who had worked alongside Danielson at CBS since 2016 and also worked with him during a previous stint at ABC, was in need of a new partner for Big Ten action. He found it in Charles Davis, who traded in the NFL booth for the college one.
Davis made his CBS Big Ten debut on Saturday, calling Boise State-Oregon alongside Nessler and sideline reporter Jenny Dell.
By all accounts, the former Tennessee Volunteers star excelled in his college football debut, bringing some energy to the booth, as well as some somewhat relevant pop culture references.
Overall, Davis garnered high praise from many pundits and media members for his work on the day.

The Tennessee Volunteers have taken the field once again for another football season, and they've got a new pup leading the charge for glory as Smokey XII.
The 2-year-old − who will celebrate a ceremonial birthday alongside the university on Sept. 10 − follows in the paw prints of his 11 predecessors to become the first rescue dog to ***** ume the role as the University of Tennessee at Knoxville's mascot.
He dashed through the Power T formed by the Pride of the Southland Marching Band to start the season with the Sept. 5 opening game in Neyland Stadium against Furman.
UT unveiled Smokey XII in March after a search began in late 2025 to replace Smokey XI, who had to retire due to a reserved temperament that made him uncomfortable in public.
It was through East Tennessee's bluetick ***** hound rescue community that Smokey veterinarian Dr. Zenithson Ng first learned about Neyland, whose "bold, courageous and outgoing personality" immediately stood out upon meeting the young hound in December. Neyland underwent training to fit comfortably into the position before making his Big Orange debut at the Orange and White spring game.

Dr. Frank Domino was one of the more than 800 volunteers at the FM Championship, the LPGA Tour stop at TPC Boston last weekend.
He didn't instruct fans where to park or urge them to keep quiet while a golfer was about to take a shot. No, he offered his services to the golfers as a doctor.
Dr. Domino, a Northborough resident, is an attending physician and a professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the UMass Chan Medical School.
Last year, he emailed FM Championship tournament director Patrick Healy to ask if the tournament needed volunteers and Healy told him his services as a doctor would come in handy for the players.
So for the past two FM Championships, he has volunteered as the on-site, on-call tournament physician for the players and their families.

Transfer Rudy Sautron was expected to have a big impact on the Tennessee men's golf program. Little did he know that it would be felt immediately.
The Nebraska transfer was stellar for the Volunteers on Tuesday, signing for 7-under 63 in the final round of the Visit Knoxville Collegiate at Fox Den Country Club to help the hosts storm from behind and claim their home opener for the second year in a row. Sautron finished second individually, teammate Jackson Herrington placed T-7, and Tennessee, down its No. 1 player in Tyler Watts due to the Walker Cup, won by four shots over Memphis.
Tennessee entered the final round trailing by six but carded an impressive 14-under performance, the best score of the final round by eight strokes. Freshman Pennson Badgett signed for a 2-under 68 while Christian Pardue also finished under par with a 69 on Tuesday, and Tennessee jumped six spots on the leaderboard to begin the 2026-27 season with a win.
Sautron was expected to be one of the biggest-impact transfers this season, and right away his addition was pivotal for Tennessee. With world No. 3 amateur Watts in Ireland, it was Sautron and Herrington, the 2025 U.S. Amateur runner-up, leading the way for the final-round charge up the leaderboard.
Chattanooga's Evan Rogers claimed medalist honors at 10 under, topping Sautron by a shot. Second-team preseason All-American Carson Bertagnole, a sophomore at North Carolina, claimed third at 8 under.

Runners of the 44th Annual Hood to Coast relay race descended on Seaside beach early Saturday morning.
Dubbed the "Mother of all Relays," the Providence Hood to Coast Relay finished on Seaside Beach starting early Saturday morning on Aug. 29.
The two-day race traditionally has about 20,000 runners and walkers participating in two events: Hood to Coast Relay and Portland to Coast Walk Relay. They start out on Friday and include participants from all 50 states and over 40 countries.
The Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast relay teams consist of 12 participants per team who take turns, running or walking. For the Hood to Coast runners, that's a total of 199 miles from Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood to Seaside's beach. For those in the Portland to Coast Walk Relay, the race is a little shorter at 128 miles. Regardless of whether running or walking, the races are not intended to be a competition. They are more for a fun day of running or walking with friends and family members for a good cause.
Since 2014, the Providence Cancer Institute has been the primary beneficiary of Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast fundraising. Throughout that time, participants and volunteers have raised over $9.4 million with 100% of the funds used to support cancer research, treatment and support services in Oregon.

The Tennessee Volunteers will be honoring Dolly Parton with a helmet sticker this season, coach Josh Heupel announced.
Parton, a Tennessee native, died on Tuesday, Aug. 25 after a brief battle with cancer. She was 80.
"I'd be remiss if I didn't also talk about the passing of Dolly Parton," Heupel said. "All that she's meant across the world, this country, and certainly, the queen of East Tennessee — a lady that was extremely proud of her roots."
The iconic singer grew up in Sevierville, roughly 30 miles east of Knoxville, where the University of Tennessee is located.
"You look at (Dolly's) impact, you know, just her ability to give back, make an impact to people, certainly here in East Tennessee. She means a lot to people across this country," Heupel said. "We'll be wearing a sticker patch on the back of our helmet to recognize her accomplishments and everything that she's meant."

Former third-round pick Jalin Hyatt, cut on Sunday when the team reached the 53-man roster limit, will return to the New York Giants as part of their practice squad.
The Giants traded up in the 2023 NFL Draft to select Hyatt after he won the Fred Belitnikoff Award as the nation's top wide receiver as a member of the Tennessee Volunteers.
Hyatt's time with the Giants has been a disappointment. In three seasons, he has just 36 receptions for 470 yards and no touchdowns. Hyatt has barely played the past two seasons, catching just 13 ***** .
Hyatt suffered a leg injury during training camp in West Virginia when he was cut down by a defensive player. He has not practiced since that time.
The Giants cut four draft picks on Sunday — Hyatt, Evan Neal, Darius Muasau, and Eric Gray. They also traded offensive lineman Josh Ezeudu to the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

The late, great Dolly Parton loved her Tennessee Volunteers, and the football team will honor her memory with a special helmet sticker this upcoming season.
The Sevierville native is as synonymous with the region as Vols football, so it's beyond fitting that Tennessee players will wear a Dolly-inspired ****** erfly sticker on their helmets this season to recognize the legendary musician.
REMEMBERING DOLLY: Dolly Parton sang "Rocky Top" at the UT game after Peyton Manning escorted her out
We're sure this won't be the only way Neyland Stadium will recognize Parton this season, but this is a really cool way to instantly honor her memory in every Vols game this season. We're sure Dolly would be really proud to see this.
Kudos to Tennessee for making sure they honor Parton's memory right off the bat.

California's "monumental problem" with rampant fraud is about to get significantly worse, according to Republican state ******* emblyman Carl DeMaio, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that he warns will crack down on people investigating scammers.
Officially ******* led "Privacy for immigration support services providers," the new law creates privacy protections for immigration support service providers, employees and volunteers, including shielding their addresses and imposing penalties on those who publish their images on social media. DeMaio told Fox News Digital the bill amounts to criminalizing investigative journalism and works to "silence citizen journalists and shield taxpayer-funded organizations from public scrutiny."
"What does the Stop Nick Shirley Act do? It basically makes it illegal for a citizen journalist to document fraud of taxpayer money and post that on the internet in the form of an internet video," he said.
Newsom signed the bill into law last week, and it is set to take effect Oct. 1. DeMaio told Fox News Digital that he and a "coalition of civil liberty protectors" are prepared to file a lawsuit challenging the law.

Week 0 has arrived, meaning Tennessee hits the field in just one week. The Volunteers will kickoff the Faizon Brandon era against Furman in a tune up game before things start to get real in two weeks down in Atlanta. Tennessee is a sleeper team according to most, taking a backseat to teams like Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss.
Can the Volunteers force their way into the SEC picture and perhaps make a run at the College Football Playoff? If that's in the cards, they'll have to find answers to these four questions.
The 5-star freshman ran away with the job in fall camp, now it's time to see just how good he can be right off the bat. There's no doubt about his long-term upside under Josh Heupel, but what about the right now? Brandon was praised for making plays down the field in scrimmages, and his athleticism will bring a new element to the RPO and maybe even option game.
It's going to come down to the little things though. The right checks, the right reads, getting through those reads quickly enough and keeping the offensive tempo when Heupel wants to operate with pace. Brandon is sure to make some freshman mistakes, that just comes with the territory. Can he make enough big plays down the field to keep defenses honest and the focus off of DeSean Bishop and the ground game? That's the key to me.
Tennessee's defensive line room has completely transformed in the past couple of seasons after having a bunch of veterans exit the program. It's going to be a new look for Garner's group in 2026, with no more Eason, Moi, Bailey or Josephs to lean on. The torch is being passed to guys like Xavier Gilliam, Nathan Robinson, Tyree Weathersby, Isaiah Campbell, Ethan Utley and several more. Veteran Daevin Hobbs is expected to lead the group and needs to take a big jump.

Rick Barnes continues to weave his Tennessee basketball team together through summer practices, trying to build some chemistry as each new face learns the system. Two of those key guards have yet to take part in those practices, however, both battling through injuries.
Tyler Lundblade, Tennessee's first pull out of the transfer portal, has been sidelined with a back injury. Barnes has said the Volunteers are being cautious with him, but he's nearing being back to full strength.
"As with Tyler, he's just putting one foot in front of the other, step by step, just trying to continue to improve, and just work towards getting healthy," Tennessee **** istant coach Amarrow Morgan said today. "He's very close to being there, for sure."
Lundblade shot 43 percent from three-point range last season at Belmont, scoring over 15 points per game. The 6-5 shooting guard was named the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year.
Another guy nearing full strength is Troy Henderson, who returns to Tennessee for his sophomore season. Henderson has been dealing with a shoulder issue that dates back to last season.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NCAA agreed to reduce Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter's suspension from two games to one over a $427 flight to an NFL training facility during the pre-draft process, Volunteers athletic director Danny White said Tuesday.
White wrote on social media that while he strongly agrees with coach Josh Heupel that the suspension was ridiculous, a one-game suspension for the season opener Sept. 5 against Furman is better than two games — but no suspension would be better in the current environment.
"If players around the country are allowed to leave NFL camps and play college football, the NCAA should do the right thing and drop it all together," White said. "This is yet another example of applying archaic rules from another era, without evolving, and most importantly, putting student-athletes experiences above bureaucracy."
Carter signed with an agent and accepted a flight worth $427.28 while figuring out his draft status. He ultimately withdrew from the draft and returned to Tennessee because of a medical procedure for a foot injury.
The NCAA originally suspended Carter three games, which was reduced after an appeal. The latest reduction means the third-year linebacker and two-year starter will be available when No. 20 Tennessee visits Georgia Tech on Sept. 12.

On Friday, the day he was scheduled to fly to Knoxville, Tennessee to begin camp as a late addition to the Volunteers, Monty Hunt awoke in his San Diego home to a text.
A Tennessee staff member informed him that he was, as of that morning, no longer eligible.
How could he be eligible one day and not eligible another?
Upon opening social media, he got his answer: A federal appeals court ruled in favor of the NCAA by freezing a Colorado court's sweeping decision to grant all of the 2022 high school class members an additional fifth year of eligibility.
The appeals decision — to stay the lower court's order until the completion of a full appeals process — means that Hunt's lifelong dream, at least for now, is dashed. And so too is the $50,000 in promised NIL compensation and scholarship costs.

The 2026 college football season begins this Saturday with an eight-game Week Zero. That leaves just under two weeks before most programs kick off their seasons. Several teams and their head coaches named their starting quarterbacks on Monday in preparation for Week 1.
Alabama named Keelon Russell its starter on Saturday, while other prominent QB competitions at Clemson, West Virginia, Vanderbilt and Iowa still haven't been decided — at least publicly.
Here are several of the QBs who have been named starters for the season.
The Volunteers are making true freshman Faizon Brandon their starting QB. Head coach Josh Heupel told the team of his decision on Monday morning and officially announced Brandon as the starter in an afternoon press conference.
Brandon, 6-foot-4, beat out sophomore George MacIntyre for the position, clinching the decision with his performance in a scrimmage on Saturday, according to On3. A five-star recruit, Rivals ranked Brandon as the No. 3 QB nationally and No. 10 player overall out of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina.

A dog that went missing during a Lake District walk on Helvellyn three weeks ago has been found.
The pet, called Teddy, disappeared on 2 August, promoting a search by volunteers from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team and others.
It was found stuck at Dry Gill on Friday after one of the search party heard barking.
Due to the dangerous location, a mountain rescue team was called to help bring the dog to safety, before it was returned to the "relieved" owner about three hours later and taken to a vet.
"The team are absolutely delighted to share this update, as the news of this missing dog had deeply affected so many people across our local community," a spokesperson said.

After getting washed out on Thursday, the Little League World Series has resumed with a full day of action in Williamsport. Iowa and California kicked things off with an instant classic in the morning—one that ended with some history and some drama.
After Iowa's Cooper Thissen continued his dominance in the tournament by racking up another 15 strikeouts, Anthony Johnson Jr. came in to try to secure the game's final outs and complete a combined no-hitter. California mounted a resistance, loading the bases with two outs.

A key part of the Tennessee baseball lineup will miss this fall, according to a VolQuest report on Tuesday morning. Blaine Brown, who will be heading into his second season in Knoxville, underwent Elbow surgery on his left-handed pitching arm. Brown is not expected to pitch in 2027 for Tennessee.
The injury occurred while Brown was playing in the Cape Cod league.
Brown is expected to be good to go for the 2027 season, but could be limited to a designated hitter role to begin the year. The transfer from Rice was inconsistent for the Volunteers last season, but the talent is obvious. It's a huge year for Brown, who is heading into MLB Draft eligibility next summer.
After flashing quite a bit early last season, Brown slumped through the midseason. The 6-5, 200 pounder ended up hitting .240 on the year, hitting 13 home runs and driving in 42 runs. Brown also struck out 53 times.
Brown made just four appearances on the mound for Tennessee, starting a handful of midweek games. He's expected to eventually return to the Tennessee outfield once he's healthy again, where he'll be looking to to capitalize on all of that potential we've already seen.

Fulcrum Therapeutics and Slate Medicines have signed a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock transaction backed by a $245m private placement financing from a syndicate of healthcare investors.
The combined organisation, which will operate as Slate Medicines, is expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the "SLTE" ticker symbol.
Following completion of the merger, the new entity will focus on developing Slate's pipeline of migraine treatments, with SLTE-1009 as its lead candidate.
This clinical-stage subcutaneous anti- pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide / vasoactive intestinal peptide (PACAP/VIP) monoclonal antibody is intended for the prevention of migraine and other headache disorders.
The financing is expected to support operations through 2029, enabling progress of SLTE-1009 through Phase I studies in healthy volunteers and a Phase II dose-range finding study in patients with migraine.

The **** ss of Edinburgh has reigned supreme in the sustainable style stakes this week, recycling one of the hardest-working items in her royal wardrobe for a visit to Capability Scotland.
Turning to trusted brand Penelope Chilvers, Prince Edward's wife opted for the silk blue puff-sleeve blouse, which she often uses as an elevated alternative to a trusty T-shirt. She previously styled the versatile piece with pinstripe trousers at the Royal Windsor Flower Show in June and a denim skirt for The Groundswell Festival in July.
On 14 August, she paired it with a figure-skimming tan pencil skirt and espadrilles, which were also a repeat wear from Penelope Chilvers.
