Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:32:58 GMT

What will the Pac-12 learn from a postseason that did not unfold as planned?The conference sent seven teams into the NCAA Tournament, four were eliminated by lower seeds and nobody advanced past the Sweet 16.No. 1 Stanford didn’t escape the second round; No. 5 Washington State lost to a No. 12 (Florida Gulf Coast); No. 8 USC was bounced by South Dakota State.This is the first tournament since 2015 that the Pac-12 wasn’t represented in the Elite Eight.What are the lessons?Clearly, it needs more size and must become more physical.

This ‘Schitt’s Creek’ writer has a new small-town series. Here’s ‘The Big Door Prize’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:32:58 GMT

The small town of Deerfield is a comfortably ordinary place until a mysterious machine called the Blue Morpho arrives. In exchange for a few quarters – and providing one’s Social Security number and fingerprints – the machine promises to reveal a person’s life potential. Soon the town is in a tizzy as people learn what their future could, or should, hold – a person might be a magician, storyteller, hero, liar or royalty. In some cases, this information, which is dispensed by the machine onto a card, can rapidly upend a person’s entire life. That’s the starting point for “The Big Door Prize,” a new comedy series based on M. O. Walsh’s book of the same name. Premiering on Apple TV+ on March 29, the show follows Dusty Hubbard (Chris O’Dowd), a local teacher, his extended family and neighbors. Each episode dives deeper into the story of a new character, like Jacob (Sammy Fourlas), a high school student whose twin brother – the local superstar athlete – recently died, or Father Reuben (D...

Kyle Shanahan accepts the fact the 49ers could be without Brock Purdy into October as the regular season starts without him.Or perhaps Purdy races back to full health by training camp, which is the hope general manager John Lynch expressed Monday.Regardless of either scenario, the task at hand is to prepare Trey Lance for the starting quarterback role he held a year ago, even if Purdy showed enough last season to reclaim the job once his surgically repaired elbow allows.“With Brock being hurt, it does open (the job) up, and it does give him a chance,” Shanahan said Tuesday at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix. “I don’t know how Brock’s going to come back. I don’t know exactly when he’s going to come back, so I don’t have the exact answer for that.“But right now because he is hurt, it is nice to focus on Trey, it is nice to focus on Sam (Darnold), and see how they do in OTAs and most likely see how they’re playing leading us into training camp, because I think...
