Dear Eric: I’m worried I’ll lose my longtime friendship. I met S several years ago when we lived closer to each other. She probably is the closest friend I’ve ever had. Her husband, T, sometimes joined us, but mostly it was S and me. About three years ago, I moved several states away from S. Of course, I miss our friendship. When I have other obligations in her state, I try to stop for a few days. Her husband now has small cameras indoors and out. I find this a little creepy. I found two in the bedroom I sleep…

Today is Sunday, Oct. 26, the 299th day of 2025. There are 66 days left in the year. Today in history: On October 26,1984, “Baby Fae,” a newborn with a severe heart defect, was given the heart of a baboon in an experimental transplant in Loma Linda, California. (She lived 21 days with the animal heart.) Also on this date: In 1774, the First Continental Congress adjourned in Philadelphia. In 1881, four lawmen, including Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, exchanged gunfire with five outlaws, killing three of them, in the “Shootout at the O.K. Corral” in Tombstone, Arizona. In 1825,…

LARAMIE, Wyo. — Reality check? CSU was already checked out. Wyoming came to play Saturday night. The Rams came to pout. Or maybe plan, to a man, for life after Fort Collins. If the 117th edition of the Border War was a boxing match, they’d have called it after three rounds. If it were a Broadway show, they’d have closed it at intermission. If it was a harbinger, look out. Because it’s going to be a long, cold, brutal final four weeks in Fort Fun. Wyoming 28, CSU 0. And that scoreline probably flatters the Rams, who looked flat from…

The Classical Academy’s tornadic defense blew away Mountain View in the Class 4A flag football championship game Saturday afternoon. Sacks, interceptions and unrelenting pressure lifted the Titans to a 34-0 victory at Trailblazer Stadium. TCA avenged last season’s 26-0 loss to Mountain View in the championship game. That defeat provided a year’s worth of incentive. Safety Brooklyn Blair (4) of The Classical Academy Titans reaches out for a touchdown after intercepting a pass by Keira Knowles of the Mountain View Mountain Lions during the state class 4A championship game on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood, Colo.…

SALT LAKE CITY – During his time as head coach at Colorado, Deion Sanders has done a lot to distance the Buffaloes from their dismal past. Saturday night was an embarrassing reminder of those old days. Utah scored on the second play of the game and cruised to a 53-7 crushing of the Buffs in front of a 93rd consecutive sold-out crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The 46-point margin of defeat was the largest for CU since a 47-point loss (54-7) at Washington on Nov. 19, 2022 — the last road game before Sanders was hired. Utah’s 587 yards in total…

The Western Colorado Mountaineers took another step in their quest to reach the RMAC football mountaintop. Senior quarterback Drew Nash punished the Colorado School of Mines defense with both his arm and legs, and fifth-ranked Western Colorado closed out the game with 27 unanswered points to beat the Orediggers, 40-17, at Mountaineer Bowl in Gunnison on Saturday. The win moved Western Colorado to 8-0 and 6-0 in RMAC play with ninth-ranked CSU-Pueblo (8-1, 7-0 RMAC) set to visit the Western Slope next Saturday. Nash totaled 354 yards of offense, including 234 yards and three touchdowns on 21-of-32 passing and 120…

At this time last year, Quentin Gibson was enjoying a sensational season at North Crowley High School in Texas. London Merritt and Alexander McPherson were starring at IMG Academy in Florida last fall. That trio is part of a big group of young players making an impact for the Colorado Buffaloes this season. While the Buffs, who play at Utah on Saturday, aren’t in a full-on youth movement, there’s no question youth is a key to their success. “We’re just trying to represent for the upperclassmen and in high school, coming in to show that they can be a big…

The game started about as well as the University of Northern Colorado could’ve hoped Saturday against nationally ranked UC Davis. The No. 6-ranked Aggies came to Greeley without their starting quarterback, a Big Sky Conference offensive force in redshirt freshman Caden Pinnick. UNC, though, couldn’t convert points on a strong opening drive, which seemed to switch some momentum, and a late-game rally never materialized in a 27-16 loss at Nottingham Field in Greeley. The loss leaves UNC (3-5, 1-3 Big Sky) still searching for its first home Big Sky win under third-year coach Ed Lamb, whose team and program has…

The Broncos inside linebacker room paid a steep price for the sequence that immediately followed Wil Lutz’s walk-off, 39-yard field goal Sunday against the New York Giants. Dre Greenlaw, of course, got hit with a one-game suspension for chasing and verbally threatening referee Brad Allen, according to the NFL, which was upheld on appeal. He won’t play Sunday vs. Dallas and is out $292,778 when combining a game check and a $90,000 per-game roster bonus. He’s not the only one impacted, though. ILB Justin Strnad was also hit with a $15,546 fine for “making contact” with Allen after the game,…
