The stars weren't out in the night sky just yet Saturday at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, but there were some sightings on the sidelines.
In one of the biggest Texas football games of the season against Ohio State, celebrities, politicians and Texas Exes came to Austin and were spotted throughout the sidelines. Earlier in the day, ESPN "College GameDay" featured Sen. Ted Cruz, who was booed by the Longhorn faithful and Austin native; movie star Glen Powell as the guest picker on the show.

Of course, other Austin celebrities were out and about - what is a night game at DKR without Longhorn superfan Matthew McConaughey. He also brought out his friend and "True Detective" co-star Woody Harrelson who was seen chatting with athletic director Chris Del Conte. Gov. Greg Abbott was there, too.
Then there were the sports legends of the school in attendance. Former men's basketball player and current Houston Rocket Kevin Durant was seen throwing crisp spirals and chatting with former football head coach Mack Brown. Former running back Ricky Williams and quarterback Colt McCoy were also spotted as well as former Texas volleyball player Madisen Skinner.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange missed several redzone opportunities, turned the ball over at costly times and committed numerous penalties to undo all of their hard work against the Golden Bears. A game in which the offensive numbers looked far better for Syracuse ended in a Cal 21-18 win when Golden Bears safety Kingston Lopa housed a pick six for the eventual winning score with 4:51 left in the 4th quarter.
Syracuse started the game with the ball, and fireworks showed immediately. Tylik Hill ripped a 55 yard rush on the second play of the game to immediately put the Orange in a goal-to-go situation. Syracuse couldn't convert and settled for a Tripp Woody field goal to open the scoring at 3-0.
Cal set its intentions early by playing in empty sets for much of its first drive. Although the Golden Bears got a first down, impressive pressure from Keyshawn Johnson and Dillan Fontus on 3rd down stalled the first Cal drive before midfield.
Syracuse's second drive saw the return of Justus Ross-Simmons, newly eligible after a long and nervous legal battle. He snagged the first Orange reception of the day, going 22 yards up the right sideline. Shavane Anderson Jr. also started to show that his first week performance wasn't a fluke with a pair of good eight-yard gains to move the chains. The Orange had to punt, however, to end their second drive of the day.
Cal showed more of its pass heavy offense, led by its star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele. After moving the chains with some good outside passes, JKS finally targeted his top receiver, Ian Strong on a third down play. Syracuse had ****** r Ward instead of Chris Peal covering Strong on this play, but Ward did a great job to force an incompletion and end Cal's second drive.

Fashion designer Todd Snyder remembers the first time he learned a celebrity was a fan of his work. It was 2013, just two years after he launched his eponymous menswear brand following career-making turns at Ralph Lauren, Gap Inc. and J. Crew.
"We were all sitting there together because it was maybe only five of us in the company. We were still very small," Snyder recalls. "The guy who runs our e-comm said, 'Oh my God, Ryan Gosling just ordered from us!' We were small enough that we could see orders when they came in."

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Austin Simmons threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns, Robert Woodyard Jr. produced back-to-back second-half turnovers to help Missouri take control, and the No. 23 Tigers beat Kansas 38-21 on Friday night in the latest edition of the Border War.
Jamal Roberts ran for 125 yards and a touchdown, and Donovan Olugbode and Cayden Lee caught TD passes, helping the Tigers (2-0) beat their biggest rival for the fifth straight time in their first trip across the state line since Oct. 29, 2005.
It was tied 14-all early in the second half when Woodyard fell on Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall's fumble, and Simmons quickly found Olugbode for the go-ahead touchdown. On the Jayhawks' next offensive play, Woodyard faded into the secondary and was there to pick off Marshall's pass, setting up Xai'Shaun Edwards' touchdown run.
Marshall finished with 168 yards passing, two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Jayhawks (1-1), who haven't beaten Missouri since Nov. 29, 2008. The sophomore quarterback also carried 20 times for just 23 yards.
Kansas jumped on the Tigers early, just as it did last season in Columbia, when a series that went on hiatus after the Tigers' departure for the SEC finally resumed after more than a decade. This time around, the Jayhawks capitalized on Missouri miscues: four false start penalties in the first half alone, blown blocking ****** ignments and two blocked field-goal attempts.

The Houston Texans are set to kick off their season at home against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
Houston has gotten the better of Allen throughout his career, especially at home, but he is still one of the best quarterbacks in the game, and this will absolutely be a competitive matchup.
In order to come away with a win, the Texans need to get going early and often on offense. The Bills have a very solid group, but they are certainly ****** e to giving up big plays, especially in the run game.
David Montgomery, along with Woody Marks, will be a huge part of what Houston is trying to accomplish, and that starts with establishing a consistent and impactful rushing attack.
Here is a look at Thursday's injury report:

It's been a season of big changes for the Colorado Rockies, and tonight is no different. According to Woody Paige of the Denver Gazette, ******* and Charlie Monfort may be planning to sell even more of the team to the Penner Sports Group, who joined the ownership group in April by purchasing 40% of the club.
Paige writes, "According to multiple sources, the Penners and Waltons intend to take over the 30-season-old club when and if Major League Baseball returns sometime in 2027." They are looking to purchase 35% more of the team, bringing their total ownership stake to 75%. However, the Monforts will likely remain on as minority owners, keeping around 20%, according to Paige.
This comes on the heels of Stan Kroenke buying the Angels, after apparently trying to buy the Rockies.
This is a developing story and Purple Row will provide more information as it becomes available.

Ohio State left little doubt in their season-opening 56-3 win over Ball State on Saturday. The Buckeyes couldn't find any traction in their first drive of the game, punting after three plays. Not much else went wrong for Ryan Day's team, as they not only were able to showcase starters Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and others, but they also were able to get their backups some work in the second half of the blowout.
No matter the result in a game, it's always fun to dive into the numbers after the final whistle is blown. Don't worry, I'm not going to get too nerdy with some of the numbers I found interesting from the win over the Cardinals. With as many points and yards as the Buckeyes put up against Ball State, a lot of players were able to get in on the fun in the first game of the season.
Ohio State's victory over Ball State was the 27th consecutive season-opening win for the Buckeyes, which is the longest active streak in the country. The last time Ohio State lost in their first game of the season came against the Miami Hurricanes in the Kickoff Classic in 1999. The 27 straight wins also tie Florida for the second-longest winning streak in season openers in Division I history. The Buckeyes now just need wins in their next two season openers to tie Nebraska's streak of 29 straight from 1986 to 2014.
With the win over the Cardinals, Ryan Day tied Urban Meyer with 83 wins at Ohio State, which is the fourth-most in school history. The only coaches ahead of Day and Meyer in terms of wins are Woody Hayes, John Cooper, and Jim Tressel. Nine of Day's wins have come in season-opening games for the Buckeyes, with an average margin of victory of 28.4 points per game in those games. Day is now 7-0 against teams from the MAC during his time at Ohio State, crushing teams from the conference by an average of 51.4 points per game.
Prior to kickoff, 31 members of Ohio State's senior class were honored in Senior Day festivities. This marks the first year that Ohio State has honored its seniors prior to the opening kickoff of the first game of the season, as Senior Day was normally held at the final home game of the season. Those seniors have now racked up 38 wins since the beginning of the 2023 season. The seniors are hoping to add to that total the rest of the season on their way to achieving their goal of making another College Football Playoff and earning a second national championship.

ESPN's NFL Live will have some new competition this season, or maybe it's old competition depending on how you look at it.
Front Office Sports reported Trey Wingo is getting the band back together, launching a new NFL show and YouTube channel with former ESPN colleagues Merril Hoge, Mark Schlereth, and Damien Woody. The OG Football Crew will debut with a NFL season preview Sept. 7, with the show continuing through the Super Bowl.
Wingo teased the idea a few weeks ago, quoting a social media post praising Hoge by saying, "What if I told you. We were putting the band back together?" It became clear Wingo was being serious about the idea when he added "stay tuned" with a link to his YouTube channel. Two weeks later, the idea seems to be coming to fruition just in time for the NFL regular season.
According to Front Office Sports, The OG Football Crew featuring a cast of former NFL Live contributors will air on YouTube every Monday to recap four NFL games from the previous day. Like NFL Live, Wingo will anchor the show with Hoge, Schlereth, and Woody contributing as ******* ysts.
The old guard of NFL Live was pitted against the new guard earlier this summer when Emmanuel Acho claimed Ryan Clark "built" the show "into the juggernaut it is today" after he was controversially laid off by ESPN. Acho added "nobody was watching NFL Live" when it premiered in 1998. The ESPN studio show might have a larger audience and following today than it did in earlier years, but it's ridiculous to claim "nobody was watching." The silly take received plenty of pushback from ex-NFL Live hosts, all who deserve credit for building the show into the juggernaut it is today.

Evaluating Woody Marks through a fantasy football lens requires a realistic ******* sment of a player whose team has already shown us exactly how they feel about his standalone role. Selected as a fourth-round pick last year, Marks struggled with efficiency, posting a sluggish 3.6 yards per carry. While he did manage to catch three touchdowns, and that is certainly not nothing in PPR formats, the broader context of the offseason is incredibly telling. If the Houston Texans were genuinely impressed with what they saw from Marks, they would not have aggressively brought in David Montgomery to take over the backfield.
This is an offense starved for upside outside of Nico Collins, who drafted perimeter help last year and explicitly added to their backfield this summer as they continue to try to support what might be the best defense in the NFL.
The Texans are clearly gearing up to make a playoff run, and their offseason moves suggest that Marks is not going to be a featured part of it, at least in an optimal world.

The good news for Marks is that this offensive line should be noticeably better than it was a year ago, which should theoretically help boost some of his disappointing efficiency numbers if he is actually given a chance.

For those wondering on who will suit up in Game 3 of the preseason, it's the names fighting for roster spots on the Houston Texans.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that said no starters would play in Friday's preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. Several key backups, including quarterback Davis Mills and defensive Jadeveon Clowney, also will likely rest and begin to prepare for Week 1's matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
This shouldn't come as a surprise since Houston has rarely played starters outside of a quarter in recent years. Given that the Texans usually have two joint practices before games, most of the work is done there, so there's little for Ryans and the staff to see.
This offseason, the Texans were cautious with several key players, electing not to play them at all. Even quarterback C.J. Stroud, who still is looking for a massive contract extension entering the new campaign, only played in one drive, which led to a scoring opportunity for second-year running back Woody Marks.
Most of the defensive starters have not played in any preseason games this year, including Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter, Will Anderson Jr., Henry To'oTo'o and Calen Bullock. On offense, David Montgomery, Dalton Schultz and Nico Collins were all sidelined in preparation for the new season.

This season, the NFL collaborated with Disney to make merchandise for every NFL team featuring a Disney character. It is the first season the NFL and Disney have come together for this kind of a collaboration. The character paired with the Washington Commanders is Hamm, the toy piggy bank from the Toy Story movie franchise.
A brief description was provided of why Hamm was chosen to go with the Commanders, calling it "a tribute to 'The Hogs.'" Washington officially debuted their mascot, Major Tuddy, in 2023 who is a hog. But, he is a tribute to the Commanders' offensive lines in the 1980s and 1990s that were known as "The Hogs."
Among the teams in the NFC East, Washington is one of two teams that have a character from the Toy Story franchise. The Dallas Cowboys were paired with Woody from the same movie franchise; it is an appropriate pairing given Woody is a cowboy. The New York Giants were paired with Wreck-it-Ralph from the Wreck-it-Ralph movies while the Philadelphia Eagles character is Doctor Doom who is set to become Marvel's next major villain.

Every Cleveland Browns fan can remember where they were when the Houston Texans announced that they had signed running back Nick Chubb. It was a sad day in Northeast Ohio.
On Friday, Chubb announced his retirement from the NFL on an Instagram post. Chubb began the 2025 season as Houston's lead running back, but his snaps became more limited as the season rolled along, and eventually fourth-round rookie Woody Marks surpassed him. Chubb concluded the season with just nine starts and 326 offensive snaps, or 32% of all offensive plays.
RELATED: CAN WE TAKE A MINUTE TO APPRECIATE NICK CHUBB?
Chubb follows the past greatness of exceptional running backs ****** ociated with the Browns such as Jim Brown, Kevin Mack, Marion Motley, Greg Pruitt, Leroy Kelly, Ernie Green, Earnest Byner, Dub Jones, and Bobby Mitchell.
Chubb was a second-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft and pick #35 out of Georgia. He started just nine games in his rookie season and then was the starting RB beginning in 2019. He has rushed for over 1,000 yards in four seasons, including the 1,525 he gained in 2022. Chubb has been named to the Pro Bowl four times and voted Second Team All-Pro in 2022.

Taylor Swift was reportedly shocked and saddened by Hayden Panettiere's tragic death. Swift and Panettiere were friends and, at one point, even lived next door to each other. The two stars both lived at The Adelicia in Nashville, when Panettiere was filming the ABC series Nashville.
A source told Page Six, "Taylor and Hayden were always friendly with each other and had a really nice rapport. They lived in the same Nashville apartment complex and crossed paths from time to time. Taylor was obviously really shocked when she heard about Hayden's passing. She was deeply saddened to hear what happened."
Swift bought a penthouse at The Adelicia in 2009. Panettiere moved into the complex three years later. Their time as neighbors led to a memorable moment that Panettiere shared during a 2012 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. She needed a guitar for a songwriting session with Jessi Alexander but did not have one.
She said, "I freaked out because I didn't have my guitar — I'd left it in my trailer. I literally texted every one of those girls: 'Does anybody have a guitar?' Finally, Taylor Swift came through for me. Two of her security guards brought down this guitar… I had to fill out a form. It was very intense."
While promoting her Red album in 2012, Swift was asked on the Woody & Jim Show if she watched Nashville. She said, "Well, Hayden is a friend of mine and she's my neighbor actually. I remember the first time I ever met her, she came up and she was like, 'I just need you to know, my character is not based on you.' It was so hilarious."

Well, just like last week, Houston had a very deflating finish to this preseason game, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 22-20, dropping to 0-2 this preseason. Despite the loss, however, this game was a much more satisfying showing from the Texans roster than last week's loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Tonight, the Houston Texans faced first overall pick QB Fernando Mendoza, hoping to get some positive action from their roster following the devastating news of WR Jayden Higgins' injury yesterday. They got exactly what they were looking for on the first two drives of the game: a methodical, run-heavy drive from the first-stringers that ended in a 20-yard Woody Marks touchdown run, and then a pick-six on Mendoza by rookie LB Wade Woodaz!
For a moment, you might've mistaken this game to be a pivotal late-season matchup with the amount of cheering from the fans following Woodaz's interception. Then, on the next Raiders' drive, DE Jadeveon Clowney announced his return to Houston with a deflection against Mendoza on third down! Seeing that #90 screaming off the edge for Houston's defensive line again after seven years away is a very welcome sight, especially considering the state the Texans' franchise is in now compared to the chaotic state it was in during the Bill O'Brien era. Clowney makes for an excellent depth piece on the edge, and if the preseason is any indication, Houston may be leaning on its defensive line a lot once again in 2026.
Following the three-and-out by the Raiders, Texans backup QB Davis Mills entered the game along with many second and third-string players. He targeted backup TE Foster Moreau and Noah Whittington on this drive, and he even got a nice completion to undrafted rookie Daniel Sobkowicz on third down. Just barely not enough for a new set of downs, though, so Houston settles for a field goal, making it 17-0 with a little over 3 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Raiders answered that drive with a field goal drive of their own, led by some impressive runs from rookie RB Mike Washington – who's too fast for Texans LB Jake Hummel – and FB/TE Connor Hayward. Texans rookie DT Kayden McDonald put an end to the string of positive plays for the Raiders, sacking Mendoza for an eleven yard loss and reminding everyone what this Texans d-line is capable of. The Raiders settle for a field goal, and then both teams trade punts, and Houston nabs a field goal shortly before halftime.
Texans rookie WR Lewis Bond made an impressive reception on 3rd & 8, and RB Noah Whittington had a few nice runs in the second quarter, but the run-blocking from Houston's backup offensive lineman still leaves much to be desired. Blake Fisher still doesn't look the part of a second-round pick, and Braden Smith wasn't particularly impressive, either. Thankfully, it appears they may have found a star in rookie TE Marlin Klein, who had a 17-yard reception that showcased his ability to track a bad pass, reel it in while in motion, and crank up the

Here's everything Houston Texans Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud said following joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders, including his thoughts on the practice in general, the emergence of Fernando Mendoza and the stability of the run game beinging an upgraded entering 2026.
Question: On his thoughts on practicing with the Las Vegas Raiders
C.J. Stroud: "I thought it went great. I thought we made a lot of plays. Of course, all our mistakes, you can clean up. But I thought we moved the ball very well, ran the ball great, threw the ball great, took care of it for the most part. At the end, I have to do better there, but I think overall, we had a really good day."
Q: On RB David Montgomery and RB Woody Marks as receiving threats
Stroud: "I think they're both great out the backfield."

Let's count the number of third or fourth-down snaps that Woody Marks played last year: It was 34. Dare Ogunbowale was getting third-down work for the Texans over Marks in most situations last year. Now I'm supposed to believe that the Texans, who traded a fourth-round pick for David Montgomery and gave him a new contract, are going to split third-down snaps off to a guy that did little empirically last year and who they clearly didn't trust? I'm sure Marks will have a role here, and I'm sure Montgomery won't play 85 percent of the snaps. But he might play 80, and the volume role in an offense that wants to run has me very optimistic that Montgomery will smash his RB20-ish ADP as long as he stays healthy. - Rivers McCown
As the resident Keaton Mitchell truther, I have no choice but to tout him as a sleeper for this upcoming season. Mitchell has been one of the most explosive players in the league since making the Ravens as a rookie UDFA in 2023. His career 6.8 yards per touch, which comes on a limited 140-touch sample, is tied for the highest in the league among 84 RBs with 140 or more touches, and now he has a chance to work with a coach who will value his abilities both as a runner and a pass-catcher in Mike McDaniel. Mitchell was underutilized during his time with the Ravens. Despite a college profile that included 60 receptions over three seasons, Mitchell managed just 19 receptions in three seasons with the Ravens and was used almost exclusively as a runner. Early training camp reports have suggested he will be much more involved in the passing game, which could make for a decent floor in PPR leagues, especially if he operates at the clear No. 2 back behind Omarion Hampton. - Zachary Krueger

ESPN talent changes continued this week, with NFL **** yst Damien Woody reportedly parting ways with the network.
Andrew Marchand was first to report the news for The Athletic, reporting Woody's contract was not renewed. Woody will, however, continue contributing to ESPN's NFL coverage for the remainder of this month, which he told Marchand was his choice.
Karl Ravech, who was unceremoniously laid off this summer after 33 years with ESPN, will similarly continue working this month, calling Wednesday night's New York Yankees-Seattle Mariners game before returning to his post as the voice of the Little League World Series one last time. In contrast, Ryan Clark was laid off and forced off NFL Live during a commercial break.
Several years ago, ESPN made a big contract offer to keep Woody from going to FS1, who sought to pair him with Craig Carton. At the time, Woody still had a year left on his contract, allowing ESPN to keep him from making the switch. Carton has since returned to WFAN in afternoon drive after his FS1 show was ultimately canceled.
Woody's media career has surpassed his NFL one in longevity, having played 12 seasons with the New England Patriots, Detroit Lions and New York Jets before retiring in 2011. From there, Woody immediately transitioned into broadcasting with ESPN, where he became synonymous with the network's NFL coverage.

Some college football programs are known as Linebacker U or Wide Receiver U for consistently producing great players at those positions.
When it comes to Miami University RedHawks football, the program is best known for the people who roam the sidelines. Hence, the "Cradle of Coaches" nickname.
That nickname and the school's decorated history of coaches are getting the documentary treatment in Cradle of Coaches, produced in conjunction with RESLV and NBCUniversal, set to premiere exclusively on Peacock on Aug. 17.
The documentary "delves into the history of remarkable leaders, their groundbreaking achievements, and the profound connections that have shaped football's greatest coaching legacy."
The who's who of notable coaches who have come through the Miami University football program includes Super Bowl winners such as Sean McVay, John Harbaugh, and Weeb Ewbank, Hall of Famers such as Paul Brown, Ara Parseghian, Woody Hayes, and Bo Schembechler, and myriad other notable leaders on the field over the decades.

Is there anyone out there more equipped to speak on kindness than Hollywood's wholesome Tom Hanks?
Hanks is perhaps best known for his starring role in the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," playing a sweet Alabama man who spends his adult life trying to reconnect with his childhood love, Jenny. The role earned him his second Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. His first win came just one year earlier for playing Andrew Beckett in "Philadelphia."
During his decades-long career, Hanks has starred in other iconic films, such as "Cast Away," "Big," "Saving Private Ryan," "A League of Their Own," "Apollo 13," and the Mister Rogers biographical drama "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."
His popularity has spanned generations through his work in the "Toy Story" film franchise. He has voiced Sheriff Woody in all five "Toy Story" movies, including the most recent, which premiered in 2026. Hanks has also voiced the character in numerous other spin-offs and shorts.
In addition to his work in cinema, Hanks has appeared in TV series, including "Bosom Buddies," "Family Ties," "Electric City," and more.

The start of Ohio State's preseason training camp put a handful of position groups in the spotlight.
Here were four notable developments from the Buckeyes' opening practice outside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Aug. 6.
Austin Siereveld, the Buckeyes' returning starting left tackle, has recovered from the minor procedure that sidelined him late in spring practice in April.
But Siereveld lined up at right guard instead of tackle during 11-on-11 periods, filling the starting spot vacated by Tegra Tshabola, who transferred to Kentucky.
"We thought we wanted to get him some guard reps," coach Ryan Day said, "see how he felt in there, see how he looked. It's been a little while."

Ohio State freshman running back Legend Bey missed the start of preseason training camp Aug. 6 due to an unspecified violation of team rules.
Bey was not with the Buckeyes when they held their first practice on the fields outside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
"He's learning," Buckeyes coach Ryan Day said, "but he'll be back on the field soon."
Day said Bey would not practice for "the first couple of days" of camp.
Bey was one of the more intriguing prospects who signed with the Buckeyes as part of their high school recruiting class.

Ohio State is on the cusp of preseason training camp.
There are just over four weeks of practices before the season opener against Ball State on Sept. 5.
As the Buckeyes ramp up at preparations at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, here is one question facing each of their position groups.
Will Julian Sayin be a captain?
Sayin has drawn praise for his leadership during summer strength and conditioning workouts, and it's clear his standing has grown a year after he spent the offseason competing with Lincoln Kienholz for the starting job. Both Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud were captains during their second season as starters, suggesting Sayin could find himself on a similar path. If he becomes the Buckeyes' first quarterback voted as a captain since Stroud in 2022, it would provide the clearest signal yet of his rising stature within the program.

Jennifer Lopez is feeling humiliated after her first husband, Ojani Noa, gave a bombshell interview about her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source tells In Touch.
"J. Lo is very sensitive when it comes to Diddy. His name is totally off limits and everyone in her world knows better than to bring him up," reveals the source. "So the fact Ojani is out there dredging up these old stories and shining a light on that very unfortunate part of her history is infuriating and deeply triggering."
Speaking to The US Sun, Noa, 52 — who was married to the Selena star from 1997 to 1998 — alleges that she cheated on him with Combs, 56, and that he got into a heated confrontation with the rapper at her **** istant's birthday party in 2001.
"Truth is, J. Lo's ashamed she ever dated him and this just underlines to her what terrible judgment she showed at the time," the source says of her two-year romance with Combs, who is currently serving time behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

California Pizza Kitchen brought the Golden State's dining culture to Americans across the country for decades. More than 40 years later, one of the chain's co-founders says that if he had to start over, he wouldn't necessarily pick California.
"If it were me today, I would open in Florida before I would open it in California," California Pizza Kitchen co-founder Rick Rosenfield told Fox News Digital. "I think it has a lot going for it. The difference is [it's] very business friendly and California is less business friendly today, and they make it apparent."
Rosenfield said that when he and California Pizza Kitchen co-founder Larry Flax started the restaurant chain, the business environment in California was "really good." In fact, Rosenfield told Fox News Digital that decades ago he would've said that "California is the greatest place to do business."
"We have 365 days a year of great weather. We have a great labor base, great demographics, great densities. And people would say, 'What keeps you up at night?' I would say, 'A snowstorm in the winter on a weekend for the malls,' right? That's not true today," he said.

Kirk Ferentz has been guiding Iowa football for nearly three decades.
Including his time as Iowa's offensive line coach, Ferentz is approaching four decades as a member of the Hawkeyes' coaching staff.
