Purple Reign in evening rainWe’ll start at the top — the top of the Pac-12 standings and, perhaps, the top of the Pac-12 heap.Washington survived a wet, rowdy environment in Corvallis and held on for a 22-20 victory over Oregon State, the winning margin courtesy of an OSU special teams mistake that resulted in a safety.As a result, the Huskies have clinched the regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the conference championship game in Las Vegas.And they are one victory away from becoming the first team in the Pac-12 era to produce a 9-0 mark in conference play.Since the conference expanded in 2011 with the additions of Colorado and Utah, 14 teams have finished with 8-1 records. Nobody has made it through nine games unscathed.UW will be an overwhelming favorite at home Saturday against Washington State. (With much the same team, the Huskies demolished WSU last year in Pullman, 51-33.)The victory Saturday n...

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech found a way to contain Syracuse’s barrage of direct-snap runs — and to put the Yellow Jackets back in the bowl picture.Haynes King threw two touchdown passes and added a 19-yard scoring run late in the fourth quarter as Georgia Tech stopped Syracuse’s comeback to beat the Orange 31-22 on Saturday night and become bowl-eligible for the first time in five years.Jamal Haynes’ 30-yard scoring run to open the second half gave Georgia Tech (6-5, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) a 24-3 lead.

Do snitches net fishes? Scientists turn invasive carp into traitors to slow their Great Lakes push

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:29:26 GMT

LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) — Wildlife officials across the Great Lakes are looking for spies to take on an almost impossible mission: stop the spread of invasive carp. Over the last five years, agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources have employed a new seek-and-destroy strategy that uses turncoat carp to lead them to the fish’s hotspot hideouts. Agency workers turn carp into double agents by capturing them, implanting transmitters and tossing them back. Floating receivers send real-time notifications when a tagged carp swims past. Carp often clump in schools in the spring and fall. Armed with the traitor carp’s location, agency workers and commercial anglers can head to that spot, drop their nets and remove multiple fish from the ecosystem.Kayla Stampfle, invasive carp field lead for the Minnesota DNR, said the goal is to monitor when carp start moving in the spring and use the tagged fish to ambush their brethren. “We...
