The heat is on Oklahoma coach Brent Venables as No. 20 Sooners try to recover from 6-7 season

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:48:17 GMT

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma’s rabid fanbase was overjoyed when Brent Venables was named head coach.Sooners fans had kept track of the former Oklahoma defensive coordinator for years after he took that same position at Clemson and helped the Tigers win two national titles. So when Lincoln Riley abruptly left for Southern California following the 2021 regular season, Venables was the popular pick to step in.The honeymoon ended as the Sooners struggled to a 6-7 finish last year, including a 35-32 loss to Florida State in the Cheez-It Bowl.Expectations are down a bit for Oklahoma in its final season in the Big 12 before heading to the Southeastern Conference. The 20th-ranked Sooners were voted third in the 14-team conference’s preseason poll – just the fourth time in the past 13 years they weren’t picked to win the league. Venables said the Sooners fell well below expectations last season — they had four three-point losses and lost to Kansas State by eight points — but grew as a team....

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:48:17 GMT

Neal Brown was allowed to keep his job at West Virginia after another lackluster season in 2022. Now it’s time for the fifth-year coach to show some improvement.The task will be tough with a brutal September schedule. Several key players transferred after last season and the Mountaineers are picked to flounder at the bottom of the expanded Big 12.“Looking forward to proving everybody wrong on that front,” Brown said. “We won’t finish there.”Even a middle-of-the-pack showing might not be enough to save him. New athletic director Wren Baker has made it clear that the Mountaineers need to win more games.West Virginia has yet to be ranked under Brown and has failed to become bowl eligible in two of his four seasons, including last year’s 5-7 record. His 22-25 overall record is the worst four-year stretch since the Mountaineers went 17-27 under Frank Cignetti from 1976-79.For now, Brown is focused on preparations, not predictions. He’s emphasizing toughness, especially on defense.“...

After beach brawls, Romanian PM urges ‘zero tolerance’ from cops

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:48:17 GMT

Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu on Friday demanded that police clamp down on violence occurring at the country’s beaches. “Because the weekend is starting and the seaside resorts will probably be full of tourists, I want to call on the law enforcement to be very firm in enforcing the law. People want law and order,” Ciolacu said, according to Romanian outlet Digi24. A spate of violence has broken out in recent days at Romanian seaside resorts, with tourists fighting police, lifeguards and each other — and Ciolacu is fed up. He demanded that police show “zero tolerance” toward anyone causing carnage at the Black Sea coast, as the region readies for another weekend of blazing sunshine, high temperatures and cold beers. “The policemen and the gendarmes have my full support, of the entire government and of all the people of common sense in this country,” Ciolacu added Friday. In one seaside scrap this week police were called after tw...
