Penn State Head football coach James Franklin has been fired after a loss to Northwestern after being 21.5 point favorites. After the Nittany Lions started the 2025 season off ranked #2 behind only Texas, they started off the regular season going 3-0. Franklin has been on the hot seat since 2016 after a loss to ranked Michigan. Penn State has pretty much been called the “doorstep” to the top 10 because they can get it done against teams outside the top 10. Franklin has a reco

This playlist is for situations when you want to feel an autumn mood, anytime of the year. I chose these songs due to their nature of always being at my family's annual Thanksgiving party, every time, with no misses.

This compilation of soul ranges from artists such as Marvin Gaye and The Isley Brothers, to new players like Drake and Fetty Wap. No matter where you are in life, suffering from a d

Expectations coming into the season This season was a different one for the Blue Jackets, they were expected to actually compete for a playoff spot this season.

Marvel’s Cinematic Universe was once very popular and always gained an insanely huge audience at

Sweden has been really underwhelming to watch this season. We went from watching Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was one of the greatest strikers of all time to having 2 strikers who combined cost over 200 million pounds, but still couldn't qualify for the World Cup. Alexander Isaak, who left Newcastle United for a record signing of 125 million pounds, was actually decent for the Swedish team even though he has been out for 4 months. However, Victor Gyokeres who went to Arsenal for a
