After just about two seasons on the job as head football coach at Fresno State, Jeff Tedford has lead the Bulldogs to a level of success the program hasn’t seen in quite some time. The Bulldogs have won at least 10 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1988 and 1989. So would Tedford really leave Fresno State for greener pastures? It may seem hard to believe that the former Bulldogs quarterback would leave behind a program he helped resurrect after a 1-11 season in 2016, the worst in Fresno State football history. But, with all the bluster of college athletics being about the “student-athlete”, this is a business after all, and fans shouldn’t be naive in thinking that he won’t bolt if the right opportunity comes knocking on his door. Tedford is reportedly among the hottest candidates to fill a number of presumed head coaching vacancies as the annual coaching carousel gets underway after the end of the season. Perhaps the most prominent … [Read more...] about With rumors swirling, Tedford could leave ‘Dogs for greener pastures

If coaches can leave for greener pastures, athletes can, too
Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant (2) warms up before the first half of an NCAA college football game between Georgia Tech and Clemson, Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/Mike Stewart) FAYETTEVILLE -- Speaking Wednesday to the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club, Danny Sheridan expressed opinions likely discomforting Arkansas Coach Chad Morris. The USA Today oddsmaker/gambling tout praised Arkansas' new coach's recruiting zeal and offensive coaching prowess, but his comments regarding graduate transferring Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant weren't timely beneficent to Morris with Bryant on Friday starting his Arkansas recruiting visit. Sheridan criticized Bryant as "quitting" on his team, discontinuing team participation after the season started to transfer at semester. Transferring doesn't bother Sheridan. Leaving with the season started does. From an old school, be-true-to-your-school-standpoint, Sheridan makes valid points. But in this view they are more than offset by … [Read more...] about If coaches can leave for greener pastures, athletes can, too
Greener pastures
With Earth Day dawning today, city and state recycling officials said Missouri is making strides to make the state a greener place. Missouri cities and towns divert about half of municipal waste away from landfills. Jefferson City officials said the amount of material being recycled in the city did not decrease last year. Statewide groups said although people know many of the benefits of recycling, residents still can be educated about how to improve the recycling ecosystem. Jefferson City offers residents several recycling options through its waste management contractor, Republic Services. The most popular is single-stream recycling, in which residents put all recyclable materials — cardboard, paper, glass, tin, aluminum and plastics — together in the same recycling system. Drop-off areas at McKay Park, Memorial Park, City Hall, and Fire Stations No. 1, 2 and 5 accept cardboard, newsprint and magazines. Sheri Johnston, Jefferson City neighborhood services specialist, said … [Read more...] about Greener pastures

Colorado Springs Switchbacks hope for greener pasture at Weidner Field after second road swing
0 View Gallery View Comments Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC is finding the grass really is greener on the other side to start the 2018 season. Whether the other side is at opposing United Soccer League stadiums or Weidner Field’s neighbor Security Service Field, coach Steve Trittschuh is tired of playing on what he feels is a sub-par surface. “Right now, it’s not a professional field,” Trittschuh said Thursday. “This league is growing. This league is getting big, and people are seeing it on national TV, and it’s a disgrace right now.” Trittschuh said he and assistant coach Wolde Harris took a peek at the Sky Sox field weeks ago to find a much healthier swath of grass than what’s been on display at Weidner Field the first three home games. Security Service Field is privately owned and managed, however, while the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department handles Weidner Field maintenance in addition to … [Read more...] about Colorado Springs Switchbacks hope for greener pasture at Weidner Field after second road swing
