To win Big Ten West, Gophers need Iowa to lose twice

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:44:20 GMT

For a fan base which chants “Who hates Iowa? We hate Iowa!,” the final three weeks of the Big Ten regular season should be pretty straight forward for the Minnesota football team.With a 27-26 home loss to Illinois on Saturday, the Gophers fell to 3-3 in Big Ten play. Meanwhile, Iowa improved to 4-2 with a 10-7 win over Northwestern at Wrigley Field.After being in pole position, Gophers will likely now need the first-place Hawkeyes to lose at least two of their final three games for Minnesota to win the Big Ten West division.The Gophers also need to beat Purdue (1-5) in West Lafayette, Ind., on Saturday and likely top Wisconsin (3-3) at home in the regular-season finale on Nov. 25. In between, the U will be a huge road underdog against No. 1 Ohio State (6-0) on Nov. 18.The Hawkeyes’ final three games are at home against Rutgers (3-3) and Illinois (2-4), and at Nebraska (3-3). Given their plodding offense, dropping two of those isn’t outside the realm of possibilities.If the Gophers a...

'Strong' El Niño likely to bring more snow to these states

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:44:20 GMT

El Niño has arrived. There's 100% certainty El Niño will last through early winter, the Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, recently said, and a 90% or higher chance it lasts into spring. El Niño typically divides the country in half, but where the dividing line falls varies from year to year. The southern third to half of the United States, including California, is likely to be wetter during an El Niño winter. The Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley are usually dry and warm. While El Niño's impacts are never a guarantee, the climate pattern tends to influence weather across the U.S. as it reaches peak strength in the winter. Here comes El Nino: It’s early, likely to be big, sloppy and add even more heat to a warming world Does that mean El Niño will bring winter storms and feet of snow? Not everywhere and not necessarily, explains Michelle L'Heureux, a meteorologist with the Climate Prediction Center, in an article last wee...

Daylight Saving: Why didn't these 2 states change their clocks?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:44:20 GMT

If you’re reading this, you (hopefully) got a little extra sleep last night. Or maybe, you had a rude awakening, waking up an hour earlier than you expected. It’s all thanks to daylight saving time. At 2 a.m. Sunday, our phones, laptops, TVs, smartwatches, and any other clock connected to the Internet switched back to 1 a.m. as daylight saving time ended. But, for residents in two states, it’s just another Sunday morning. Can daylight saving time affect your health? Hawaii and most of Arizona stay in one time zone year-round, meaning they don’t switch their clocks in March and November like the rest of us. Since 1968, Arizona has observed Mountain Standard Time year-round, with the exception of the Navajo Nation. For Arizona, the decision was based largely on the amount of sun the state already gets. If you’ve ever been to Arizona, it’s easy to understand why they prefer the nighttime hours to come a little sooner in the summer. As The Arizona Republic explains...

Recipe: The Pie Hole’s Moe’s Pumpkin Pie

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:44:20 GMT

This pumpkin pie recipe hails from cookbook author Rebecca Grasley’s grandmother, Moe, who was famous for her pies.
