Frisco becoming for NCAA FCS football what Omaha is for baseball or Oklahoma City for softball

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:00:57 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — North Dakota State athletic director Matt Larsen believes Frisco is becoming for FCS football what Omaha is for NCAA Division I baseball or Oklahoma City for softball.“When you think about a championship location, every FCS program at the beginning of the year, their goal is to get to Frisco,” Larsen, vice chair of the FCS committee, said Friday. This is the 14th time that the Football Championship Subdivision title will be decided in the 20,500-seat professional soccer stadium in North Texas. This is only the fourth time that the Bison haven’t made the trip from Fargo to Frisco. The Bison got knocked out of the 24-team playoff by a double-overtime loss in the semifinal round at No. 2 seed Montana (13-1), which plays defending champion and top-seeded South Dakota State (14-0) in Sunday’s title game. Montana last played for the FCS championship at the end of the 2009 season, the year before the game moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Frisco, and sw...

EEUU establece una nueva estrategia migratoria para evitar la ruta del Darién, aunque persisten los cruces ilegales

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:00:57 GMT

Hace cinco años Alexis Llanos y su familia huyeron de Venezuela hacia Colombia, escapando de amenazas de muerte y persecusión política. Tampoco allí consiguieron estabilidad y resolvieron atravesar la peligrosa selva panameña del Darién para cruzar ilegalmente la frontera de Estados Unidos con México. Sus planes ya tenían fecha para agosto de 2023 cuando un amigo les contó de un nuevo programa del gobierno de Estados Unidos que les permitiría llegar de manera legal. Entonces decidieron esperar, y funcionó. Después de un proceso de cuatro meses que incluyó exámenes médicos y numerosas entrevistas con organismos de la Naciones Unidas y funcionarios estadounidenses, Llanos, su pareja Diomaris Barboza, y sus hijos de 7 y 3 años llegaron a la Florida.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Right tackle Mike McClinchey was ruled out Friday from the Broncos’ season finale at Las Vegas, denying Denver the chance to have its entire offensive line intact from start to finish for the first time since 2011.“We’ve had our fair share of injuries but not a lot,” coach Sean Payton said Friday, when he also ruled out tight end Chris Manhertz (illness) from Sunday’s game against the Raiders (7-9).Payton said 10th-year veteran swing tackle Cam Fleming will start for Denver (8-8) in place of McGlinchey, who has started all 16 games alongside Garett Bolles, Ben Powers, Lloyd Cushenberry III and Quinn Meinerz. “He’s experienced and I think it’s extremely important,” Payton said of the value of having a veteran third tackle. “He’s had a lot of snaps. When the offseason came and we were looking at who tackle-3 is, that is an important position.”McGlinchey left the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason to sign a five-year, $87.5 ...
