Dulcich’s preferred pastime is a double-edged sword. Offseason details.“I’m not too much of a traveler. I love going to the beach,” the Southern California native told The Post. “Just laying out and swimming in the ocean, that’s really nice. Body surfing a little bit.”But …“After the beach is brutal, because it gets all salty and dried out,” the Broncos’ second-year tight end continued. “You’ve gotta shampoo and condition double. It’s a tough time.”Just as Dulcich devoted all that ...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:39:38 GMT

By Rebecca Blackwell and Laura Bargfeld | Associated PressHORSESHOE BEACH, Fla. — The worst of Hurricane Idalia left residents of a region of tight-knit communities trying to find places to live as they rebuild — if they decide it’s even worth it — and waiting potentially weeks for electricity to be restored after winds and water took out entire power grids.Idalia came ashore Wednesday in Florida’s sparsely populated Big Bend region, where places to fish and paddle are connected by swamps.The scope of the disaster came into sharper focus Friday. A power cooperative warned its 28,000 customers it might take two weeks to restore electricity. Emergency officials promised trailers would arrive over the weekend to provide housing in an area that didn’t have much to begin with.“We’ll build back. We’ll continue to fish and enjoy catching the redfish and trout and eating oysters and catching scallops and eating them,” said real estate agent Jimmy Bu...

Berkeley and Stanford aren't exactly located on the "Atlantic Coast."Some in opposition to these California schools joining the ACC cite the long and grueling travel having to go coast to coast to compete in sporting events. Even the closest ACC school is farther than what Cal or Stanford had to travel for any Pac-12 conference game. How far is the farthest ACC school from Cal and Stanford?

UNC’s Brown has issues with NCAA over eligibility of transfer wide receiver

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:39:38 GMT

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina coach Mack Brown is calling out the NCAA for dragging its heels on the case of transfer wide receiver Devontez Walker, who has not yet been ruled eligible.Walker, the Tar Heels’ presumed No. 1 receiver, transferred from Kent State, where he played two seasons after a year at North Carolina Central when he did not play because the season was canceled. NCAA rules generally allow players to transfer freely once. Brown said Walker had enrolled at UNC in January, just days before the NCAA revised rules to limit waivers for two-time transfers for evaluation on a case-by-case basis.The NCAA denied the waiver for Walker to play immediately and UNC appealed. The Tar Heels open the season against South Carolina on Saturday night.“The NCAA’s unwillingness to provide clarification over the last few weeks has left us in this position,” Brown said in a statement released by the school. “At this point, everyone knows the details of Tez’s journey ...
