Stanford, Cal grapple with the ACC scheduling puzzle: “We’re working on it daily”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:59 GMT

Four weeks after Stanford and Cal secured a home in the ACC, the most confounding aspect of their move — the competition schedule for a bicoastal conference — remains many weeks, if not months, from resolution.“This stuff isn’t covered in any AD 101 class,” Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir joked. “But we’re learning on the fly.”The athletes will be doing plenty of that, too, as they manage schoolwork at 35,000 feet while schlepping to games on the East Coast.In the aftermath of the realignment wave that decimated the Pac-12, the Cardinal and Bears face a unique challenge upon entering their new conference next summer.UCLA, USC, Washington and Oregon will have each other in the expanded Big Ten, mitigating the frequency of cross-country travel, while the Four Corners schools (Colorado, Utah, Arizona and ASU) fit geographically within the Texas-based Big 12.But Stanford and Cal are the only members of the ACC in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones.

Things to watch in the Pac-12 in Week 5: GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 8 Southern California (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) visits Colorado (3-1 0-1) on Saturday in Boulder. The Trojans defeated Arizona State 42-28 last weekend but the Sun Devils closed to within 24-21 in the third quarter and USC had to rally for the victory. As a result of the less-than-impressive road win, the Trojans dropped a few spots in the AP Top 25. Caleb Williams threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more. Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes were routed 42-6 by Oregon last weekend in Eugene for Colorado’s first loss of the season.

Book Review: ‘SNL’ star Leslie Jones drops raw memoir mixed with life advice

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:59 GMT

Indefatigable is another good word to describe a comic whose career didn’t really take off until she joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” at the age of 47, though perhaps it’s too many syllables for a standup routine.Jones’ memoir, “Leslie F(asterisk)cking Jones,” which takes the name on her Memphis, Tennessee, birth certificate, Annette Leslie Jones, and drops the first name she never liked while adding her favorite adjective in the middle, is like her comedy — no-holds-barred. The focus is not on how Jones survived child abuse or racism or sexism, just that she did, she’s here now, and the world better shut up and listen to her. Even if they don’t, she’s not going to stop speaking her truth, even when it sometimes paints her in an awful light.“One day, when I was probably around five,” writes Jones, “I was walking through the trailer park… and I saw a puppy jus...
