Baylor Football: Coach Briles Locker Room Speech After Russell Athletic Bowl Victory
Two of the more prolific offenses in college football meet in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando on Tuesday,as No. 10 North Carolina (11-2, 8-0 ACC) faces No. 18 Baylor (9-3, 6-3 Big 12) in a matchup of battle-tested teams. The ACC Coastal champion Tar Heels make their seventh bowl appearance in eight years while the Bears play in a bowl game for the sixth straight season. These two teams combined for 1,091.5 yards per game during the 2015 season.
North Carolina began the season ominously with a home loss to South Carolina but wouldnt lose another regular season game, rattling off 11 straight. It was Larry Fedoras third winning season out of four and the first time the Tar Heels reached an AP Top 10 ranking or won double-digit games since 1997 under Mack Brown. With the highestscoring offense in the ACC, North Carolinawon just three of those 11 games by one score and ranked No. 10 in the nation in scoring, averaging 40.9 points per game. They made the ACC championship game and lost by one score on a neutral field to No. 1 Clemson, who plays in the College Football Playoff later this week.
Perhaps the highlight of UNCs season came in Week 10, against rivalDuke when the Heels gained a big edge in the division with a66-31 victory. Quarterback Marquise Williams threw for a school-record 494 yards while UNC recorded seasonhighs in yards (704) and points. Williams threw for 2,829 yards and ran for 867 more, accounting for 32 touchdowns. Running back Elijah Hood ran over 100 yards seven times, recording 1,345 rushing yards and 17 scores.
Art Briles Bears had started hot and had their eyes on the College Football Playoff but injuries and inconsistent play slowed them down the stretch. Baylor started 8-0 and scored at least 56 points in each of their first six games. A 44-34 home loss to Oklahoma ended the undefeated season but Baylors signature win came in a rebound effort against Oklahoma State the next week behind 304 rushing yards. The Bears defeated the Cowboys 45-35 and flipped their fortunes, but lost starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who was already replacing the injured Seth Russell. Baylor lost their last two games to TCU and Texas with third-string Chris Johnson under center and finished No. 4 in the Big 12 --a sobering ending to a season that began with so much promise.
Unfortunately for Baylors No. 1-ranked scoring offense (48.0 points per game), theyll will be without some major weapons on Tuesday night. Biletnikoff Award (given to the nations top wide receiver) winner Corey Coleman and starting running back Shock Linwood are both outdue to injuries. Coleman accounted for 37 percent of Baylors receiving yards (1,363) and scored 20 touchdowns, all of them in the first eight games. Linwood accounted for 37 percent of Baylors rush yards, accumulating 1,329 and 10 scores. Johnson will be under center and has completed 15 of 38 passes for 220 yards plus 80 yards rushing. In total, Johnson has four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Baylor hasnt won a bowl game since the 2012 Holiday Bowl over UCLA. North Carolina last bowl win came in the Belk Bowl over Cincinnati in 2013.
Rob Kardashian Diagnosed With Diabetes After Being Rushed to the Hospital Written by Frances Kindon, December 30, 2015
By Olivia OBrien
The Kardashians are caught up in drama again, after brother Rob Kardashian was rushed to hospital over the weekend.
According to reports, after telling his famous family he wasnt feeling well, the 28-year-olds condition worsened and he was rushed to hospital. Doctors then ran a series of tests and Rob, who has been battling a weight problem, was soon diagnosed with diabetes.
While the celebs condition has now stabilised he remains in hospital.
The Kardashians have admitted theyre worried about reclusive Robs health.Hes gained over 100 pounds in the last year, Kris Jenner revealed in April of her son, who hasnt been seen out in public since June. I feel like if I dont help him do something drastic that hes gonna die.
Big sister Kim has been less sympathetic. Its not that mysterious, whats happening with Rob, she said in July. He has gained weight. He feels uncomfortable being on the show, and thats OK.
Do I think he smokes weed, drinks beer, hangs out and plays video games with his friends all day long? Yes.Hopefully this diabetes drama is the wake up call Rob needs to get healthy!
One of the few EGOTs in showbiz-award terms, Rita Moreno is now an EGOTK or, she laughs, How about KEGOT? The owner of two Emmys, a Grammy, an Oscar (for West Side Story) and a Tony, the veteran actress-singer now has another major accolade: the Kennedy Center Honors.
Earlier this month, Moreno and her fellow recipients singersongwriter Carole King, filmmaker George Lucas, conductor Seiji Ozawa and actress Cicely Tyson were feted at the 38th annual event in Washington, D.C. CBS gives the performing-arts-celebrating program its traditional telecast Tuesday, with Stephen Colbert reprising his role from last year as host.
Initially scheduled to receive the latest Honors as well, musics Eagles will be recognized in the 2016 edition, owing to Glenn Freys inability to participate this year. President Barack Obama joined the First Lady and the honorees late, since he gave a televised address the night of the taping, but he and his wife had hosted a related White House reception before the Honors.
In an interview for this article, Moreno discussed the significance of receiving the Kennedy Center Honors (being overseen by new producers this year) as she energetically continues her career encompassing her recently released Spanish-language recording Una Vez Mas, her voice work on the animated Sprout series Ninas World, and an American Songbook concert shell perform at New Yorks Lincoln Center in January.
Q&A
Q: What do you think of the Kennedy Center Honors-receiving company that youre in?
A: Its astonishing! Were together for several days, not just at the event thats televised, but there also are a wonderful dinner hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry and luncheons up the wazoo. Its just an insanely busy, wonderful time. And the honorees are so diverse, theres someone to please everybody.
Q: How is it to be in the company of President Obama?
A: If you look us up together, with both our names, youll see a bunch of pictures where hes putting a medal (the National Medal of Arts) around my neck. And I hug him! I just impulsively grabbed him he has such a dazzling smile, that man and then I looked at his wife in the audience and shrugged my shoulders as if to say, Sorry.
Q: How were you first notified that you were receiving the Honors?
A: It was my manager. He called me up and said, Are you sitting down? I said, Should I? And he said, I think so. Then he told me, and I just came out with such a shriek and a whoop and I started to do a dance, with the phone in my hand. And my feet have not touched the ground since then. With something as wonderful as this, I cannot be cool or reserved.
Q: Does receiving the Kennedy Center Honors make you reflective about your career?
A: With something as astonishing as this, the first thing that happens is that my heart and my head immediately go to Puerto Rico, and I see myself as a little girl playing with these frogs in my hometown with a big, fat bow on my head, because my mother used to make them. I think, Who would have thought this? and it makes me feel very humble. And it reminds me again of what an amazing country this is, that this can happen. Im very moved by all of this.
Q: How do you feel about the endurance of West Side Story, which won the Oscar for best picture of 1961, and your performance in it?
A: Its amazing! I still hear about it, from people my age and recently from younger people who have seen it; Turner Classic Movies plays it all the time, but the true experience is to see it on the big screen. Im reminded then of the enormity of earning that Oscar, and I also got a Golden Globe for it. (Fellow West Side Story Oscar winner) George Chakiris is still a dear friend, and hes my daughters godfather.
In fact, Im still very close to some of the I call them the kids, which is hilarious, because some of them now have paunches and bald heads. But dancers are always the kids, and whenever Im in Los Angeles, we try to arrange an evening together. I guess its because we bonded in a way that most casts do not. Weve all stuck together, Im very happy to say.
Guns N Roses, with founding members Axl Rose and Slash, will headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., set for April 15-17 and April 22-24, according to multiple sources. The reunited band is also negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 football stadiums in North America in the summer of 2016, and is scheduled to be one of the first acts to play the new Las Vegas Arena, set to open April 6. Guns N" Roses is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250-$275 range.
The last show Axl Rose and Slash played together was on July 17, 1993 at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires. Guns N" Roses" most recent tour, which only included Axl Rose from the original lineup, took place primarily in South America and The Joint in Las Vegas, grossing $15.2 million.
Slash Opens Door to Guns N" Roses Reunion
Representatives for the band, as well as Coachella producer Paul Tollett and agent Ken Fermaglich at United Talent Agency, could not be reached for comment. Executives at AEG, which will operate the new Vegas arena, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The band"s first album, Appetite for Destruction, is the biggest-selling debut in U.S. history, with 18 million sold. It spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and launched the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single "Sweet Child O" Mine." They have sold 44.5 million albums total in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
Billboard"s confirmation comes on the heels of two rumor-inducing hints dropped over the past week, the first a cryptic update to the Guns N" Roses website and the second during screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where footage of a concert crowd was shown with GN"R music overdubbed. Though longtime fans may be understandably wary after the decade-plus wait for Chinese Democracy, which became a totem of sorts to frontman Axl Rose"s sometimes unpredictable behavior, this reunion bears no sign of that record"s bumpy road.
Coachella has a pedigree for coaxing much-loved acts out of retirement, or being the linchpin to plans that had already been simmering. The fest has previously hosted the reunions of Rage Against The Machine in 2007, My b****y Valentine in 2009, Pulp in 2012 and Outkast in 2014 -- not to mention Tupac"s posthumous return to the stage in 2012. Guns N" Roses will arrive a year after two other legendary acts, AC/DC and Steely Dan, headlined the 2015 edition. Last year"s edition drew 198,000 to the California desert, generating $84.2 million in revenue, according to Boxscore.
The Tony Award-winning hit "Beautiful - The Carole King Musical" is playing at the Oriental Theatre for an extended 12-week limited engagement Dec. 1, 2015 - Feb. 21, 2016.
"Beautiful-The Carole King Musical" is a smash-hit musical about the early life and career of the legendary and groundbreaking singer/songwriter.
Chicago native, Abby Mueller, stops by Windy City LIVE to talk about the show and perform "Will You Still Love Me." Mueller"s sister, Jessie Mueller, won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 2014 her portrayal of King in the show"s Broadway production.
Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock "n" roll. But it wasn"t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
"Beautiful" tells the inspiring true story of King"s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
