When BYU’s first season in the Big 12 didn’t go well, the expectations going into year two were low. BYU wound up as one of the biggest surprise teams in the Big 12 and the country last year. The Cougars won’t sneak up on anybody this year, though. This summer, BuffZone will preview each of Colorado’s opponents for the 2025 season and in this installment we look at BYU, which will visit Folsom Field on Sept. 27 in a rematch of last season’s Alamo Bowl. Projected 13th in the Big 12 going into last year, BYU started 9-0, vaulting to…

Dear Eric: My sister-in-law made quilts for two of her nieces. They unwrapped them to oohs, aahs and applause on Christmas Eve at my house. My daughter did not receive a gift. I sent a polite email to sister-in-law explaining that my daughter was disappointed. I received a snail mail reply that included a gift certificate and a note.

We are thrilled by rumors that the Broncos’ new owners are acquiring land to keep the football team in the heart of Denver, right where it belongs. A brand new, privately financed stadium on currently contaminated and abandoned land, Burnham Yard, is a vision we can get behind. The 58-acre rail yard is now owned by the Colorado Department of Transportation. The Denver Post reported last week – following some brilliant reporting from BusinessDen – that part of the deal the Walton-Penner group is looking to make in addition to acquiring the state’s land would include buying a portion of…

By JOSH BOAK and MIKE PESOLI WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday called into question the future of Iran’s ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on three of the country’s nuclear sites, seemingly contradicting his administration’s earlier calls to resume negotiations and avoid an escalation in fighting. “It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!” The posting on Truth Social marked something of a reversal from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s…

He’s repaired his relationship with Dick Monfort, his older brother and the club’s owner, chairman, CEO, and ultimate decision-maker. But there is irony here. For…

The Houston Rockets are acquiring 15-time All-Star and four-time Olympic gold medalist Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster deal struck Sunday, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The Rockets are giving up Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green and six future picks — including the No. 10 selection in Wednesday’s opening round of this year’s draft — according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was still pending NBA approval.
