The booths had been rearranged in what two people described as fruit basket upset. Rather than a plot to confuse people, what really happened was the convicts helped set up the booths and got the plans turned upside down. I have had the same space forever, and not doing change very well, I traded name tags with the people that had my old spot. Fortunately, after being found out they were forgiving of my "Jim Moment." The afternoon started out slow, but before the evening was over, we had a nice... Full story

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — There were signs early in Oklahoma's opener against Houston that the Sooners defense might finally be ready to make an impact. Turns out there is plenty of work ahead. Oklahoma hired Alex Grinch as its defensive coordinator in the offseason, hoping the unit would generate at least some support for the dynamic offense. In Sunday's opener, the defense forced two three-and-outs to start the game and used relentless pressure to help limit the Cougars to 10 points in the first half. The Sooners then gave up 21 points in the s...

There was also the realization she might have a future as an NHL linesman — or is it lineswoman? "I just think this is what I love. This is what I've always been about," Welsh told The...
NEW YORK (AP) — Rafael Nadal shrugged his shoulders once, twice, three times. If his words weren't going to make his position clear, his body language would. The question: Would he like to end up with the record for most Grand Slam titles won by a man? The answer, essentially: Yes, of course. And if he doesn't? "I would love to be the one to have more, yes, but you cannot be all day frustrated or all day thinking about what your neighbor has better than you," the 33-year-old Spaniard said after reaching the U.S. Open final to give himself a sho...
