Veteran Texas football leaders key to keeping team focused

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:47:08 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Texas football made as big a statement as the program has in years with their win over No. 3 Alabama Saturday evening. While the Longhorns don't want the victory to linger into preparation, there's no denying how impressive their performance was in Tuscaloosa."I don't want our guys to not feel confident coming out of that game," said Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. "They earned the right to be confident by the way they played. Now we're trying to recreate it." Texas DE Ethan Burke, an All-American lacrosse player, gave up the sport for a school that ‘didn’t really recruit him’ Sarkisian noted Jaylan Ford, Jerrin Thompson, Jahdae Barron, Xavier Worthy, Jordan Whittington, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Quinn Ewers and Christian Jones as leaders he relies on. For the most veteran of that group, the sixth-year offensive lineman Jones knows how the young guys will take after them."Leading by example for sure," said Jones. "Just telling [the younger players] we have something tha...

Annual veto session happening today in Jefferson City, Missouri

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:47:08 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Lawmakers are back in Jefferson City Wednesday to meet their constitutional requirement of a veto session.After adjourning in May, Governor Mike Parson vetoed a large public safety bill; one of the provisions within the legislation was Blair's Law, criminalizing celebratory gunfire. However, Parson says that's not why he rejected the bill.Instead, it was other provisions like expanding qualifications and the amount of money for restitution for people whose convictions were overturned. In the budget, Parson removed 200 line items totaling half a billion dollars, like 28 million to improve a section of I-44.While many people believe it is unlikely that the governor's vetoes will be overridden, some believe that some GOP members will use Wednesday's session to request a chance to make it more difficult to amend the state constitution.

The restaurant: The Fifth String at Attimo; 2246 Larimer St., DenverAbout: Owner and chef Amos Watts closed The Fifth String’s previous location in LoHi last month. He told The Denver Post at the time that the kitchen was too big for the intimate eatery and he was already on the hunt for a smaller space. Watts quickly got in touch with Attimo owner Jon Schlegel, who’s also the founder of Snooze A.M. Eatery, through a mutual friend. Schlegel was looking for someone to take over the kitchen at Attimo and was a fan of Watts, who previously worked at acclaimed Colorado restaurants Corrida, Acorn and Old Major.The new iteration of the restaurant will be a collaboration between Watts and Schlegel, like the many food concepts within local breweries.“We plan to stay here for at least six months while we look for a brick-and-mortar space, so this gives us some time instead of rushing right into something,” Watts said. “We do hope to be here for the long-term and...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:47:08 GMT

It’s flu shot season again, but depending on your age and health, you may want to roll up your sleeve three times this fall in hopes of staving off respiratory viruses.Shots to reduce the odds of severe influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, already are available in clinics around Colorado, and an updated COVID-19 booster is expected to start arriving over the next week after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended its use Tuesday.Last season in Colorado, COVID-19 hospitalized 8,231 people, while flu hospitalized 3,076 between October and May.
