Even with 12 straight victories and an 11-0 start in the Horizon League, there's always room for improvement for the Wright State Raiders volleyball team.
"What we've been able to accomplish has been very special," coach Travers Green said on Thursday, Oct. 29, "but you're trying to look further than that. How good can we be? What are our aspirations? It takes a certain level of commitment to win championships, but if you want to go further than that, it requires more.
"We've been pretty good, but we aren't the finished product that we want to be at this point of the year. We want to keep getting better and keep improving, keep growing, and keep looking for the things that can add more value."
Consistency from set to set, cleaner and more disciplined play, and a more relentless defensive effort — with the mindset that the ball should never hit the floor — are all on Green's mind as the Raiders enter the final two weeks of the regular season.
Wright State won 3-0 at Purdue Fort Wayne on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and returns to action at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, against Youngstown State at C.J. McLin Gymnasium in Fairborn.

Emmie P grew up in a household so religious she was not allowed to dress up for Halloween. Now dressing up as someone else is a central part of her career.
The cosplayer, Twitch partner and car enthusiast sat down with host Wayne Ayers on "The Wayne Ayers Podcast" to talk about convention life, how she picks her costumes, why she prefers DC to Marvel, the ***** anese sports car she keeps modifying and what aspiring streamers should do before they go live.
Ayers first met her at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, where a video of their conversation went viral. He said people still ask him about her.
"That was actually my first convention that I ever went to as a creator that you caught me at," she said. "It was a really cool experience. But I've just been getting more into the actual convention game of cosplay. Usually I just do it from my home, but I'm getting super comfortable with it now."
She has since been to Anime NYC, which she described as a huge ***** e with plenty to do but fewer activities than the Los Angeles show, where she played Beyblade on stream with a friend. Cellphone service was another problem for someone who streams from the convention floor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security has tapped $20 million to pay for the campaign-style ads glorifying President Donald Trump that have drawn widespread criticism from Republicans and Democrats as a blatant misuse of taxpayer dollars that likely runs afoul of anti-propaganda law.
In a letter Tuesday to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, two top Democratic senators said that the money is being drawn from Trump's so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" and was supposed to go for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
"We should not have to remind you that using government funding to create or air political ads like the ones that have been running over the last few days is illegal and a shockingly corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars," wrote Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee that handles Homeland Security funding.
The senators demanded answers within the next 48 hours about "how this president is literally stealing their tax dollars to air campaign ads celebrating himself."
They asked the secretary if the department plans to use additional federal funds to air these ads or create new ones, and if so to share contracting information with Congress. They also asked Mullin if he had spoken to Trump about using the taxpayer funds for the ads.

Striking a blow to Mayor Mamdani’s rollout of his signature pied-à-terre tax, a New York City judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of owners of pricey second homes and ordered the city to restart the process.
Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzi found that notices the city mailed to homeowners informing them that they may be subject to the surcharge were unlawful and had to be canceled and re-sent. He also ruled that a supplemental property tax roll posted online must be taken down.
“No crime is involved here, but homeowners are being substantially harmed and penalized needlessly,” Ozzi wrote in his 22-page decision, referring to the city’s controversial rollout of the tax on high-value second homes.

The White House on Thursday withdrew the nomination of Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a Republican blocked his confirmation hearing.
Schroyer's nomination stalled after Senate Homeland Security Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a foe of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, requested that the Department of Homeland Security provide his committee with more information about its investigation into two ICE and Border Patrol agents accused of killing two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January.
Paul, who as chair controls the committee's hearing and markup agenda, did not oppose Schroyer's nomination, per Drew Carmichael, a spokesperson for the senator.
Schroyer was a surprise pick to lead ICE. He had no experience leading a major law enforcement agency, let alone an organization the size of ICE. But Schroyer has close ties with the DHS secretary. Schroyer at one point led Mullin's security detail and Mullin made Schroyer a senior adviser at DHS.
The White House and DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Three and a half years of freight recession did two things to the truck financing market at once. It shredded the credit profiles of the carriers who most needed to borrow. It also pushed a large share of the lenders who would have lent to them out of the sector. Both are now rationing the equipment replacement cycle the industry has spent two years waiting on.
Kirk Mann stayed in. As executive vice president and general manager of the transportation vendor solutions business at Mitsubishi HC Capital America, he financed trucks through the entire downturn and watched a great many of them come back.
"There are a lot of lenders, banks that left, and so we've had the benefit of being one of the lenders actually lending money in this ****** e," Mann said in an interview with FreightWaves. What competition remains is mostly OEM captive finance arms, a couple of large independents and a few bank-led groups, he said.
The carriers that did not survive were overwhelmingly the newest. On average, 85% of motor carriers with fewer than two years of operating experience and their own operating authority failed over a three-year stretch of the downturn, Mann said.
Back in January 2023, Mann sat in Mitsubishi HC Capital's Chicago offices with Wayne Pass, the company's chief credit officer for vendor solutions, since retired. He asked what a Freightliner Cascadia 13-speed with a tall sleeper and fewer than 500,000 miles was worth. Both men wrote down $45,000. Mann then asked what the company was financing those trucks at. About $110,000.

PASADENA, Calif. - For three quarters and seven minutes, Bob Chesney's Rose Bowl debut was a dull affair, then just as quickly, the Bruins gave their faithful fans and historic stadium plenty to cheer about.
The SDSU Aztecs came to town looking to present a challenge and they certainly didn't make things easy on the Bruins, nor did the Bruins make things easy back. Both siders traded drives where they accomplished relatively nothing. So much nothing in fact the first play to go past the 50-yard line and into opposing territory didn't happen until Brian Rowe Jr. caught a pass with 11:47 left in the second quarter and both sides went into halftime tied 0-0.
Neither side particularly excelled with their passing, even if UCLA had the slight edge through the first half and finished with a much larger edge with 151 net passing yards to just 45 by SDSU and both sides were equally unsuccessful in their rushing attempts early on, but things started to change for UCLA in the second half.
"That is not the way we want to play football, obviously in the first half," Chesney said. "But at the same point in time, that's where we found ourselves. And I think every once in a while, it wasn't pretty, but it was gritty, and you need one of those."
UCLA struck first with a rushing touchdown courtesy of fifth-year running back Wayne Knight early in the third quarter, but UCLA could have scored far earlier than that if senior quarterback Nico Iamaleava made a different decision in a critical moment.

UCLA football looks to build on a strong showing from their Week 1 rout of Cal in their home opener when they host San Diego State at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Sept. 12.
The Bob Chesney era in Westwood couldn't have started on a better note as the Bruins rode dominant performances from their run game and defense -- their two biggest weaknesses last season -- to pull away late from what had been a shootout with the Golden Bears through the first three quarters.
Senior running back Anthony Woods led the way on the ground with 118 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while JMU transfer Wayne Knight added three more scores on 71 yards. That opened up some opportunities for Nico Iamaleava to take shots downfield, which the quarterback converted for some big plays late in the first half.
The Aztecs -- now a member of the new-look Pac-12 -- are coming off a strong season debut of their own, a 53-20 blowout over Portland State.

It's not just game day, it's the first home game for Bob Chesney as head coach of the UCLA Bruins. UCLA will be taking on San Diego State at the Rose Bowl, with both teams eyeing a 2-0 start to the 2026 season.
We'll get our first look at how Chesney has his team looking in Pasadena, with the program looking to keep the ball rolling after an offseason filled with positive momentum. UCLA passed their first test, knocking off Cal on the road in Week 1.
Here are five questions for the Bruins entering Week 2 versus the Aztecs.
The UCLA offensive line dominated up front, allowing for major games from running backs Anthony Woods and Wayne Knight. While it'll be tough for UCLA to match their 277 yards they got in Week 1, a successful rushing offense will make everything else much easier for the Bruins.
There were many highlights from UCLA's Week 1 victory. One thing that wasn't great from the Bruins was their penalties. UCLA committed 12 penalties, giving away 110 yards. That isn't sustainable and will be something to improve upon in Week 2.

The Bees created a great chance following a flowing move in the second minute with Enrique Roca releasing Madden down the left. His cross found the opposite winger, Dwayne Mason, at the back post but he missed the target under pressure and on the stretch.
Kasujja then did well to fashion himself a sight at goal after a clever touch in the box allowed him to get a deflected strike off that Adam Brogan held on to at the second attempt.
Gary McDermott's side were much the brighter of the two in the opening ten, this time Jai Bansoodeb feinted past two Cherries defenders before forcing Brogan to save with his feet from a driven effort.
Tom Stuckey had Bournemouth's first sight at goal as they grew into the game, nodding wide from a floated free-kick when he could have headed back across goal to those waiting in red and black.
Then, on 17 minutes, the home side took the lead with skipper Waite striking across Felix Lyon into the bottom right corner.

It's been a busy last twelve months for Craig Carton. Following the cancellation of his FS1 program, Breakfast Ball, in July, many speculated about where Carton's path would lead after his network television debut. The results of that journey to today shouldn't be surprising.
First, Carton remained a partner with FOX and worked with Red Seat Ventures to develop a one-hour daily program **** led The Craig Carton Show. His return to WFAN followed, with the official announcement coming in early December. Earlier this year, Carton added another layer to his growing media presence by teaming with Lil Wayne for The Joint Venture podcast. Beginning today, Carton elevates that initial project by bringing The Craig Carton Show to a rebranded and growing OutKick digital platform.
"I have been a frequent guest on OutKick as well as FOX News. So, there's some familiarity that I have with them, and they have with me," said Carton about the early discussions surrounding bringing The Craig Carton Show to OutKick. "I was a guest with Dan [Dakich] about six months ago. Afterwards, they reached out and inquired about my deal with FOX expiring. The interest was mutual."
With Carton's FOX contract coming to an end earlier this summer, the network made an offer to keep him in tow along with The Craig Carton Show podcast. However, the network allowed Carton to retain the podcast and shop it around to other distributors outside of his prior arrangement with SportsGrid.
"I had the ability to go look for other partners, but they [OutKick] had an interest in me. It sort of came together at the same time. I have great respect for FOX as a company. They've been great to me on the sports side. Then to take that and evolve our relationship under the FOX News umbrella was a no-brainer," explained Carton, who co-owns the IP for The Craig Carton Show with FOX. "We're partners in every sense of the word."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Lucas Carneiro kicked a 48-yard field goal as time expired to give ninth-ranked Mississippi a 41-38 victory over No. 24 Louisville on Sunday night in the Music City Kickoff.
The week's only game between ranked teams started sloppy only to turn into a second-half thriller.
Lincoln Kienholz, in his first career start after three seasons on Ohio State's bench, tied it for Louisville at 38 with 1:28 left. The quarterback found Lawayne McCoy on the sideline for a 54-yard catch-and-run TD with 4:42 to go before his 7-yard TD run with 1:28 left.
Trinidad Chambliss set up the winning field goal with an 18-yard pass on third-and-6. Chambliss finished with 351 yards passing with three touchdowns, and he also ran for a fourth score all after halftime. Kewan Lacy ran for 61 yards on 17 carries with a 1-yard TD before being sidelined by an injured thigh.
Maybe it was a bit of opening night nerves or starting with a ranked, Power Four opponent. Both Ole Miss, who ended last season losing to Miami in the College Football Playoff semifinals, and Louisville had issues in the first half.

Kewan Lacy ran for 61 yards on 17 carries with a 1-yard TD before being sidelined by an injured thigh.
Maybe it was a bit of opening night nerves or starting with a ranked, Power Four opponent. Both Ole Miss, who ended last season losing to Miami in the College Football Playoff semifinals, and Louisville had issues in the first half.

NASHVILLE – The only thing more chaotic than Broadway in Nashville on Sunday night was Nissan Stadium about five miles away.
What started out as a deeply flawed first-half offensive performance from Louisville ended in a second-half shootout between the Cardinals and No. 10 Ole Miss.
The Cardinals tied the game, 24-24, just before the end of the third quarter, but the Rebels had more firepower. Ole Miss outlasted Louisville, 41-38, Music City Kickoff victory. It's the first season-opening loss in the Jeff Brohm era of Louisville football.
Lincoln Kienholz got off to a rocky start but became the star that the Cardinals needed late in the game. The Ohio State transfer quarterback answered 14 straight Rebels points with a 54-yard touchdown pass to Lawayne McCoy and a 7-yard TD run in a little more than three minutes for a 38-all tie late in the fourth quarter.
But Ole Miss got the ball back with 1:28 remaining in regulation and barely escaped with a 48-yard field goal.

BERKELEY, Calif. — Wayne Knight ran for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter following interceptions by Ta'Shawn James and UCLA opened the Bob Chesney era with a 45-24 victory over California on Saturday night.
Both teams entered the season with new coaches and high hopes but Chesney's team got the best against Tosh Lupoi's Golden Bears by capitalizing on the late miscues by quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele.
"It was a lot of fun," Chesney said. "That was a battle."
Knight, who came from James Madison along with Chesney, scored on a 31-yard run midway through the fourth one play after James' first interception on a pass that went off Ian Strong's hands. Knight then made it 38-24 when he scored on a 4-yard run with 2:58 to play following the second takeaway by James.
Anthony Woods sealed it with a 53-yard touchdown run as the Bruins used 37 new players in the win.

James Madison made history in 2025, becoming the first-ever Sun Belt team to qualify for the College Football Playoff. But success came with a cost in the offseason. Head coach Bob Chesney left for UCLA, as did some of the Dukes' top players including running back Wayne Knight and defensive end Sahir West. Starting quarterback Alonza Barnett III wound up at UCF.
James Madison lost a bulk of the coaching staff and all but three primary starters from its CFP team. But the program is accustomed to handling adversity of this nature, not missing a beat when Curt Cignetti handed the reins to Bob Chesney two years ago.
Signs of a similar baton pass were evident Saturday when JMU defeated Liberty, 20-13, in head coach Billy Napier's debut.
James Madison fielded the nation's fifth-ranked total defense in 2025, and that was the team's calling card in the 2026 opener. Liberty was held completely out of the end zone until 10 minutes remained in the contest, thanks to the Dukes' ability to stonewall the run game.
Liberty's spread option attack ranked top-4 nationally in rushing in two of three seasons under head coach Jamey Chadwell. But through 38 attempts against JMU, the Dukes produced just 91 rushing yards, calculating to 2.4 per carry. They never broke off a big one, with the longest run of the day measuring to 10 yards.

The Tosh Lupoi Era for the Cal football team began in Berkeley on Saturday night with a full house at Memorial Stadium and plenty of thrills. What it ultimately lacked, however, was a victory for the Bears, who saw UCLA score three fourth-quarter touchdowns to claim a 45-24 victory with a majority of Cal fans clearing out of their seats before the final whistle.
It seemed nothing could stop Cal after sophomore Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele delivered three consecutive completions to take the Bears 87 yards into the end zone in just 38 seconds to cut the Bears' deficit to 21-17 toward the end of the first half.
With the Memorial Stadium home crowd roaring and the powers of their star quarterback on full display in the moon-balls he summoned, it felt like nothing could stop the Bears from satisfying the hype that the team spent the last eight months cultivating. A start to what the program hoped could be a Cinderella season.
And then the clock struck midnight.
The UCLA offensive line began to mash Cal in the trenches. Bruins running backs Wayne Knight and Jaivian Thomas started to steamroll through tackles and break containment. And the Sagapolutele magic turned into dust as a mishandled snap on a fourth-down and two fourth-quarter interceptions - one off the hands of his receiver and the other right to defense (both to the Bruins' Ta'Shawn James) - gave UCLA the momentum to take the game and run.

James Madison transfer running back Wayne Knight ran for three touchdowns and the UCLA defense found its footing in the fourth quarter, overpowering former conference rival California and kicking off the Bob Chesney era with a 45-24 win.
There was a brief injury scare to quarterback Nico Iamaleava, but by then, the Bruins had effectively won the game with two things they did poorly a season ago: rushing and defense.
UCLA outscored Cal 21-0 in the fourth quarter off two interceptions from transfer safety Ta'Shawn James, who picked off Cal's Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele on a deep third-down attempt. Knight ran for a 31-yard touchdown on the next play to help give UCLA a 31-24 lead with 8:46 left to go.
James' next interception with 7:31 left led to Knight's third touchdown on a four-yard run.
Anthony Woods broke free for a 53-yard touchdown run on the Bruins' final possession for his second touchdown of the game and UCLA's sixth — all on the ground. Last season, the Bruins ran for eight total.

The Bob Chesney Era is off and running for the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins outlasted the Cal Bears Saturday night, picking up a 45-24 victory to move to 1-0 on the 2026 season.
It was a hard-fought win to begin Chesney's tenure, as Cal and quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele battled late into Saturday night but UCLA's defense got three turnovers and three sacks in the win.
The UCLA offense shined too. Aside from a red zone interception by Nico Iamaleava, Dean Kennedy's offense shined. UCLA rushed for 279 yards with James Madison transfer Wayne Knight looking like a star, and finding the end zone three times in his UCLA debut.
It was a balanced rushing attack, with the Bruins' offensive line winning up front, creating holes on the ground for Knight, Anthony Woods, Jaivian Thomas and Iamaleava on the ground. While Knight found the end zone three times, Woods scored twice and totaled 118 yards on only eight carries. As a team, UCLA averaged 9.0 yards per carry.
UCLA left meat on the bone late in the first half, as an Iamaleava interception led to a Cal touchdown but that didn't instill fear in the offense, as Iamaleava found Matthews for a deep pass to set up a last-second field goal to give the Bruins a 24-17 halftime lead.

Lorenzo Bettoni and Wayne Girard take a closer look at Roma's impressive start to the season under Gian Piero Gasperini, examining how the new coach has quickly stamped his authority on the Giallorossi.
They discuss the growing influence and power Gasperini appears to have within the club, arguably more than any of his predecessors, including José Mourinho, and what that could mean for Roma's ambitions this season.
VERONA, ITALY – MAY 24: Gian Piero Gasperini, Head Coach of AS Roma, gestures to his players during the Serie A match between ***** as Verona FC and AS Roma at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on May 24, 2026 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by Alessandro Sabattini/Getty Images)

The pair also turn their attention to Donyell Malen and the role Gasperini could play in unlocking the striker's full potential. Could the Roma boss help Malen mount a serious challenge for Gonzalo Higuaín's remarkable 36-goal Serie A record?

Most college golfers spend four years grinding on the mini-tours, hoping for a single shot at the big leagues. Tyler Jones just got that shot without waiting a single day. The reigning Southern Conference Men's Golfer of the Year has secured a sponsor exemption to the PGA Tour's inaugural Biltmore Championship. This marks a historic moment for Western Carolina University golf, as Jones becomes the first active Catamount to compete in a PGA Tour event, breaking a barrier that has stood for decades.
The details of this opportunity are specific and significant. According to the official release from catamountsports.com, Explore Asheville and Biltmore Estate granted the exemption. Three tournament victories during a breakthrough 2025-26 campaign earned Jones this spot. His standout performance came at the J.T. Poston Invitational, where he claimed an individual ***** le at the Waynesville Inn & Golf Club. Scheduled for Sept. 17-20 at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design course, the event itself is set there. For the first time since 1942, this tournament marks the PGA Tour's return to the mountains of western North Carolina. Coverage will be extensive, featuring Golf Channel, PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, SiriusXM, and the PGA TOUR World Feed. Jones will also share the field with Western Carolina alumnus J.T. Poston, a four-time PGA Tour winner. That connection creates a full-circle moment for the program as it rises on the national stage.
The emotional weight of this achievement is clear in the words of the program leadership. Head coach Tim Eckberg, who is also an alumnus, spoke directly to the significance of the moment. "This is a massive day for Tyler and for Catamount golf," Eckberg said. He added that the opportunity fills him with pride, noting that the success stems from what J.T. Poston has accomplished and the hard work the current young men continue to put in. The coach emphasized that the program is finally being recognized for opportunities that were previously out of reach. Eckberg also highlighted the broader impact on the student-athlete. "He represents WCU exceptionally well as a student-athlete," the coach stated. "Tyler is an incredible talent, and he showed that throughout last season," Eckberg noted, adding that "His game is ready for this next challenge." The program also extended gratitude to the sponsors who made this possible. "A huge thank you goes to Biltmore and Explore Asheville for believing in Tyler and our program," the coach said. This support validates the years of development within the Catamount system.
From an insider perspective, this exemption signals a shift in how the Tour integrates local talent with regional events. The Biltmore Championship Asheville is designed to bridge the gap between the collegiate level and the professional tour in a specific geographic market. By bringing in a local star like Jones, the organizers ensure that the narrative of the tournament includes the very commu

In each of the past two seasons, Kayshon Boutte ranked second in receiving yards among Patriots wideouts and first or tied for first in receiving touchdowns. His reward? A trade to Houston.
The Patriots traded for A.J. Brown in the offseason, signed free agent Romeo Doubs and brought back DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Mack Hollins. That left Boutte as the odd receiver out, and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said in explaining the trade that Boutte "probably would have been inactive" on game days if he had remained in New England.
Boutte responded Thursday.
"They did pay two guys to come in and do that job," Boutte said, via Timothy Rapp of the Bleacher Report. "Sadly, it is the way it is. Being that it's a contract year for me, I [sought] a bigger role. I feel like what Vrabes said in his media interview, it wasn't nothing bad. I wouldn't say I'll use that as fuel. . . . It was an honest opinion. He sat there, talked, [spoke] his truth, and [we'll] pretty much move forward from it."
The Texans needed a receiver after losing Jayden Higgins to a season-ending torn ACL last month. Boutte, who has 76 receptions for 1,140 yards and nine touchdowns over the past two seasons, joins Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne in the wide receivers room.

The Baltimore Ravens have officially added cornerback Lardarius Webb Jr. and veteran offensive lineman Chuma Edoga to their practice squad.
Webb returns after being waived during Baltimore's initial roster cuts. Webb earned the opportunity after showing encouraging flashes during training camp and the preseason. He finished Baltimore's preseason finale against the Washington Commanders with two tackles and a forced fumble, strengthening his case for continued development within the organization. His return also continues a notable family connection. Webb's father, Lardarius Webb Sr., spent his entire nine-year NFL career with Baltimore and helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII.
Edoga gives the Ravens a more experienced option along the offensive line. The 29-year-old has appeared in 62 games and made 25 starts across seven NFL seasons. He has experience at both tackle positions and guard, adding valuable versatility behind Baltimore's starters.
Edoga is also familiar with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford. The two worked together with the Atlanta Falcons in 2022, which should help Edoga transition into Baltimore's system.
The two additions continue the Ravens' early-season adjustments as the organization strengthens its developmental secondary and offensive line depth.

Jordan Staal was 3 days old when Jaromir Jágr made his pro hockey debut.
Since then, Staal has grown up; made the NHL; won the Stanley Cup twice and the Conn Smythe Trophy once; played more than 1,500 games between the regular season and playoffs; and, as he's less than two weeks away from his 38th birthday, is likely entering the final stage of his career.
And Jágr is still playing.
Jágr, 54, ranks second all-time in NHL points behind only Wayne Gretzky. Since leaving the NHL in 2018, he has played parts of nine seasons for his hometown Kladno Knights in Czechia — a team that he once owned outright, and now holds a 20% stake.
"The fans won't see me anymore. A miracle would have to happen. God would have to come into me and make me 15 years younger."
