Having surveyed the scoreboard — a 21-point deficit to Baylor — Sooners defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and quarterback Jalen Hurts sized up the situation. “It’ll be a hell of a story,” said Grinch, “if we come back and win this football game.” “We’ll just add another one to the list,” Hurts said.

The female alleges that after attending a party in which Shannon was also present, she was offered a ride home from the linebacker, who said he needed to first drop off his friends near his apartment. According to the complaint, Shannon took the female into his bedroom, came up behind her, removed her pants and attempted to have sexual intercourse with her. Shannon became frustrated with the female when she wouldn't cooperate....

Getting over the past–and making history–seem to be the two things on Clinton’s agenda these days. When he touched down in Hanoi last Thursday night, he accomplished both. Clinton not only became the first American president to visit a united Vietnam; his trip also brought two nations closer together after a bitterly divisive war that defined an era and cost the lives of 58,000 Americans and nearly 3 million Vietnamese....

In addition, those who take regular 90-minute naps increase their risk of stroke by 25 percent, versus brief-30 minute naps or avoiding naps entirely. Disturbed sleep sleep also raised stroke risk by 29 percent, according to the study. Researcher Dr. Xiaomin Zhang, head of the team who compiled the study and professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, told the Associated Press,“people, especially middle-aged and older adults, should pay more attention to their time spent in bed attempting to sleep and midday napping, and sleep quality, because appropriate duration of sleep and nap, and maintaining good sleep quality may complement other behavioral interventions for preventing stroke....

The 20-year-old nephew of former NFL quarterback Jim Kelly was arrested on Dec. 21 for fighting with bouncers outside a Buffalo nightclub. His arrest came just days after he signed with Ole Miss. Kelly has since completed 50 hours of community service and a Buffalo City Court judge affirmed Monday that he met the terms of a plea agreement, the Associated Press reports. MORE: SN Top 25 QBs for 2015 | Nonconference showdowns | SN’s 50 best players...

Oliver Kahn had earlier played his farewell match in Kolkata back in 2008. Led by the goalkeeping legend, German football giants Bayern Munich visited the city to play against Mohun Bagan. They won the game 3-0 to ensure Kahn ended his career on a winning note. Though the German will not be playing football this time, Kahn will inaugurate one of the local Durga Puja Pandals in the city. West Bengal state minister Firhad Hakim, who is the chief organiser of the Durga Puja, has taken the initiative to bring the football legend....

There are so many elements of The Lost Daughter that are so stressful, making for a great suspense film. Did you feel the anxiety? A few weeks into filming we were all having a drink and I said, “Why do I take the doll?” I found that so stressful. It’s just a weird, subconscious thing. I think she surprises herself when she sees it in the bag. But I know exactly what you mean by watching the film....

Giannulli’s parents, actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were some of the most well-known people involved in Operation Varsity Blues. CBS Los Angeles reported that they plead guilty in May for paying the University of Southern California $500k as a bribe so Giannulli and her older sister, Bella, could go to school there. Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are currently serving time in prison for their involvement in the scandal....

It all started on Thursday when Love posted Rodrigo’s “Sour” artwork on Instagram with the caption: “Spot the Difference! #twinning” in an effort to note the similarities to Hole’s “Live Through This” album cover from 1994. Rodrigo acknowledged the similarities herself in a comment on Love’s post: “love u and live through this sooooo much.” Love then responded to Rodrigo’s comment asking for flowers and a note: “Olivia—you’re welcome. My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London!...

Wilde’s sophomore film featured allegations of a rift between her and star Florence Pugh, as well as Wilde telling an interviewer she fired Shia LaBeouf from the project, only for him to refute her claims. LaBeouf was replaced by music star Harry Styles, and Wilde reportedly began a relationship with the singer during filming. This led to rumors that the romance cause her breakup with her former fiancé Jason Sudeikis....

Yet, Mesler’s non-profit, Classroom Champions—which connects students with Olympians and Paralympians—is giving new meaning to the cliché. In an era when technology plays an integral role in communication, the sports organization is redefining what it means to be a mentor. “We didn’t want to just do something that was ‘feel good,' ” Mesler said of founding the non-profit a few years ago. “We wanted to make sure that there was a result to it....

I dabble in all three of those pursuits, but this time, I'm going to resist the temptation. Team Canada has the best forwards by a large margin, a good group of defensemen and, for all the navel-gazing about its goaltending, the solid-enough combo of Carey Price and Roberto Luongo. Look at it this way: They're going to either play John Tavares on the third line or the wing. MVP candidate John Tavares....

The American swimmer started his morning with an Olympic record and gold medal swim in the 50-meter freestyle at 21.07 and ended it with his fifth gold medal, swimming butterfly on the men’s 4x100 medley relay to help the unit set a world record at 3:26.78. Dressel now joins Mark Spitz, Matt Biondi and Michael Phelps as the only male swimmers to win five gold medals in the same Olympics....

A new study has been published on reinfection rates in the country, and the results show an increased rate of reinfections attributed to Omicron compared to other variants. “This finding has important implications for public health planning, particularly in countries like South Africa with high rates of immunity from prior infection,” claimed the study, which has not yet undergone scientific review. “Urgent questions remain regarding whether Omicron is also able to evade vaccine-induced immunity and the potential implications of reduced immunity to infection on protection against severe disease and death....

What we’re being asked to believe is that if another country (say Japan) pioneers a new technology, we won’t benefit. This defies logic and history. After World War II, the United States led in most technologies. That hardly prevented Europe and Japan from rapidly raising their living standards. Just the opposite: the availability of proven U.S. technologies accelerated their economic growth. Taking competitiveness too seriously as a guide for public policy risks distracting us from genuine national problems-poverty, runaway health spending, racial tension-and spawning waste....

North of the border, it will be appointment viewing. For the lower 50, it will be nearly impossible to watch. Though it’s not a Wednesday, the NHL still wants you to think there’s a major rivalry taking place when the Oilers play host to the Maple Leafs. While it’s one of only two times these teams will meet this season (barring a four- to seven-game head-to-head in early June … unlikely as it sounds), whenever Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews share the same rink, it’s a big deal....

Speaking at Trump’s rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the president’s eldest son on Monday evening told the crowd “we need you to get out and bring your friends to vote tomorrow. And when we do, we can not only keep making America great again, but we can make liberals cry again.” President Donald Trump told his supporters that if Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden wins on November 3, it would mean “no school, no graduations, no weddings, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, no Easter, no Fourth of July and no future....

Most arguments used in Mexico and Chile against participation in the highest body of multilateral legitimacy are contradictory. A country cannot support multilateralism, the United Nations and international law on the one hand, and refuse to participate in the Council on the other; a nation cannot denounce U.S. unilateralism and then refuse to belong to the only mechanism that can, very rarely, place limits on that unilateralism. The arguments used against Chile’s or Mexico’s belonging to the Council (“We’re very vulnerable because of the border or the imminent approval of a free-trade agreement”; “We’re more committed than others to the principles of the U....

The Check’s in The Mail: I thought it was pretty sad over the past few weeks when news started to trickle out that big companies were taking loans intended, in spirit and practice, for small businesses. But, then, this week came along. The Economic Policy Institute came out with the following conclusion based on a March/April national survey: Only about half of the “potential” unemployment insurance applicants “are actually receiving benefits,” concluded EPI, a left of center think tank....
