Seventy points. MORE: Five things we learned | HAYES: Give it to Gallman | PHOTOS: Top Orange Bowl images The number was unfathomable. “We thought, well, we’re (ACC) champions,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said earlier this week. “We didn’t know the first thing about it.” They’ve got it all figured out now. This isn’t the same program, the same fight — the same feeling — that skulked off this field after giving up 70 points to West Virginia in the 2012 Orange Bowl....

Thousands of goats will work to eat through troublesome, dry weeds along the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail, to the west of the city, ABC News reported. Following months of heavy rain, the weeds in the city have been growing more rapidly. Now, with the spring and summer months approaching—and an ongoing drought—the weeds have begun drying out. There are fears among government officials that come the summer, the area will be a tinderbox....

The 21-year-old was linked to Torino but the deal fell through on transfer deadline day despite reports suggesting he had agreed personal terms. The highly rated box-to-box midfielder had a €10 million price tag but Torino were only ready to offer €6 million, according to reports. “We had several offers from almost half of Serie A clubs [in the January transfer window] but none of the negotiations went well as expected," Arthur told TuttoBolognaweb....

More than mere fun is Twombly’s elegant retrospective exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. (The show runs through Jan. 10, then travels to Houston, Los Angeles and Berlin.) For all its look of chance, Twombly’s work is fearlessly composed and passionately colored. The best of his paintings–such as “The Triumph of Galatea” (1961)–are like vast desert dunes with scattered flowers growing in them. But the dunes are cut into perfect rectangles and the flower seeds have been delicately sown by dreams....

Erica Kious, the owner of eSalon SF, told Fox News she had received death threats after security footage showed Pelosi walking through her business on Monday without wearing a mask over her nose or mouth, contrary to the city’s coronavirus measures. Personal care services are banned from operating indoors, although on Tuesday, the day after Pelosi’s visit, the city did allow for outdoor services as long as clients were socially distanced....

Vegas needs just four more wins to eclipse the record of 33, which was set by both the Anaheim Ducks and Florida Panthers in the 1993-94 season. With 38 games left to play, the Golden Knights will almost surely be the most successful expansion team in league history, but the bigger question that remains is whether or not they are legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. Vegas quieted its doubters again Thursday, as James Neal scored just 56 seconds into the first period and the Golden Knights never looked back in a battle between the NHL’s top two teams....

Opening their ledger, Vegas easily defeated the Vancouver Canucks 9-4, and, if the game and the months before it are any indication, the expansion franchise is going to be very creative on social media in its first season. It was a day of firsts for Vegas, who played in its first preseason game, scored its first preseason goal, and eventually recorded its first preseason hat trick. The latter two distinctions now belong to Tyler Wong, who signed with the Chicago Wolves, Vegas’ American Hockey League affiliate, in May....

The video, shared on TikTok on Sunday by his owner under the username Adriabarich,, showed the Golden Retriever being lectured by his mom about what is an orange fetch ball and what’s just an orange, before being challenged to fetch the ball from the pool. The owner can be heard saying: “Oatmeal keeps thinking that these oranges are his ball. I don’t blame him, they look very similar. They’re both the same shade of gray....

Defending champion Sterne beat runner-up Schwartzel by seven strokes at the European Tour tournament last year to take victory for the second time after winning a play-off in 2008. That triumph denied Schwartzel a third win in four years following his successes in 2010 and 2011 and compatriot Branden Grace's win in 2012. Only two non-South Africans have won the competition in its seven-year history, with Argentina's Ariel Canete winning the inaugural event in 2007 and Dane Anders Hansen emerging victorious in 2009....

"Just normal," Ko said. "I didn't feel too odd or special or slow or whatever today. That actually surprised me. I thought I would be much more nervous. And actually, one of the good things was I wasn't thinking about any money or related stuff. I just tried to play my game, which was obviously very helpful." It was a slow start and a strong finish, quite the opposite of Sandra Gal, who made six birdies on the opening six holes and wound up with an 8-under 64....

Heading into last weekend’s tournament at New Orleans, five of the past six final round PGA Tour telecasts had double-digit increases in viewership. Four of those five increased by more than a third — by 35 percent for the Tampa Bay Championship, 34 percent for the Bay Hill Invitational, 42 percent for the Houston Open, and a whopping 77 percent for the Heritage. The viewership gains have been accompanied by multi-year ratings highs....

The 44th president of the United States has been know to hit the links with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, and plays every so often at Congressional Country Club, the site of Tiger Woods’ annual PGA Tour event. On Monday, an Instagram user posted a picture of what appears to be Obama’s golf ball, which he found in the woods on the first hole at Congressional. The Titleist Pro V1 has a custom “44” and is stamped with “POTUS....

Crandall averaged 16.6 points and 3.6 assists for the Fighting Hawks last season who struggled to a 12-20 record and eighth place finish in the Big Sky Conference. He improved dramatically as a junior in terms of 3-point shooting, connecting on 41.7 percent of his attempts and making a career-best 50 3s.

Its loss to Baylor in the 2021 March Madness championship game always will rank as a disappointment for the Bulldogs, who won their first 31 games of the 2020-21 season but fell to the more powerful Bears in the April 5 final. Some of the disappointment was eased Monday afternoon with the announcement by center Chet Holmgren regarding his college choice for 2021-22. “Next fall, I will be a Gonzaga Bulldog,” Holmgren told ESPN “SportsCenter....

Then let’s get on to some safer ground. “Central Reservation” is a glorious accomplishment–the kind of album we critics get all hot and bothered over and you rock fans will want to keep in your collections forever. Orton’s in love with melancholy: her songs drift along on oceans of strings, with brushed drums and Stax-style organ adding cushions of soul. Her lyrics are less narratives than fragments of personal philosophy; she ruminates about the miserable ways people treat each other, and looks for comfort in her own solitude....

The setting is a Maine coastal town; the time, 1968. The boy, Chuck, comes from a broken, bickering family. His two half sisters (nicely played by Fay Masterson and Gaby Hoffman) each have different fathers, and Chuck grows up with a bruising sense of inferiority and a fear that he might be crazy. Desperate to leave home and get into a military academy, he learns that the brusque, mysterious Mr....

Both drivers hit the wall and now face uphill battles to advance out of the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Keselowski is 10th in the standings while Earnhardt is 11th heading into the second race of the three-race round Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Goodyear has Keselowski’s Kansas tire — it arrived Thursday in Akron — while it has not yet obtained the tire from Earnhardt’s team to begin an analysis....

Google Doodles often change the classic Google logo to incorporate a historical figure or special occasion relating to a specific date. The Google image for Friday, June 17 features a pairing of Aldridge with a doodle of musical treble clefs on either side. The woman displayed is Aldridge, who is known for her work as a composer who released dozens of instrumental tracks, parlour music, and more than 30 songs under the pseudonym Montague Ring....

The doodle is a diorama of the four men, later known as the A&T Four or Greensboro Four, sitting at a Woolworth lunch counter to order a cup of coffee. The doodle’s artist, Karen Collins of the African American Miniature Museum, said she wanted her diorama to provide hope and teach a younger generation about their history. “Creating art honoring the Greensboro sit-in (and the Civil Rights Movement it was part of) is my way of giving back to today’s generation, especially to those who are in desperate times and troubles—to lift them up and teach them about their history,” Collins told Google....
