No. 23 Missouri finally leaves state to open SEC slate at Vanderbilt, which has lost 3 straight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:59:04 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz hasn’t spent much time thinking about getting the Tigers back into the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2019. “Rankings only matter what you do this week, so our goal was not to be ranked in Week Four,” Drinkwitz said. “Our goal is to figure out where we’re at by the end of the season. … We’re more focused on what we can control this week, which is playing at Vandy.” He can take a big lesson from 2019 as he takes his 23rd-ranked Tigers (4-0, 1-0) out of Missouri for the first time this season for their Southeastern Conference opener at Vanderbilt on Saturday. In 2019, then-No. 22 Missouri visited Vanderbilt and lost, starting a five-game skid that led to Barry Odom’s firing. “Obviously opening up SEC play on the road is going to be a big challenge for us,” Drinkwitz said of a team whose longest trip this season was to St. Louis last week where the Tigers beat Memphis, 34-27.The Commodores (2-3, 0-1) are trying ...

BALTIMORE — El fiscal general de Maryland publicó el martes algunos nombres previamente redactados en su sorprendente informe sobre abuso sexual infantil en la Arquidiócesis de Baltimore, pero los nombres de cinco líderes de la iglesia católica permanecieron ocultos en medio de apelaciones en curso, lo que provocó críticas a la iglesia por parte de las víctimas y defensores.Si bien los nombres de los líderes de alto rango de la iglesia ya han sido informados por los medios locales, el director del capítulo de Maryland de Sobrevivientes de aquellos Abusados por Sacerdotes dijo que estaba decepcionado, pero no sorprendido, de que la resistencia continúe luchando contra la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas, a pesar de lo que dicen los líderes de la iglesia.“Una vez más, esto simplemente demuestra que la Iglesia no está haciendo lo que dice que está haciendo”, dijo David Lorenz, líder del capítulo de Maryland de SNAP. “Simplemente no lo son.
