Michigan State University plans to sell alcohol at four home football games

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:06:32 GMT

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State University plans to sell alcohol at select home football games this season following a recent change to state law that permits liquor licenses to be issued to sporting venues at public universities.The Board of Trustees at Michigan State University voted unanimously Wednesday to authorize the school to request liquor licenses to sell alcohol at four football games beginning with a Sept. 16 game against the University of Washington. The board’s vote came after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation in July lifting the state’s ban on alcohol being sold at college sporting events. Whitmer said at the time that the new law would help “reduce the likelihood of binge drinking before games,” while also bringing “in a heck of a lot more revenue.”If the liquor licenses are approved by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, the university also plans to sell alcohol at Spartan Stadium on Sept. 23 against Maryland, Oct. 21 against Michigan and...

Sam Kerr scores but Australia loses to England and falls short of Women’s World Cup final

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:06:32 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — It took fives games and 62 minutes for Sam Kerr to finally make her mark on the Women’s World Cup.The superstar striker’s only goal in open play of this tournament was an equalizer against England in Wednesday’s semifinal — a shot that brought the sold-out crowd of 75,784 roaring to their feet in support of the Matildas. The Australian captain pounded her chest and then raised her closed fist to the crowd, urging their supporters to help push the Matildas into their first World Cup championship game. England needed only roughly eight minutes to strike again, a Lauren Hemp goal that put the Lionesses back on top. Kerr bent over, hands on her knees, unable to grasp how quickly the game had just shifted away from Australia. And when Alessia Russo made it 3-1 for England in the closing minutes, Kerr crumpled to the field in defeat. Australia’s magical run as co-host of the World Cup had ended one game shy of the championship game — the deepest into ...

For Chicago Cubs to get to the next level offensively, power production from Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki must continue

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:06:32 GMT

The way pitchers have attacked Ian Happ follows a similar approach.When the switch-hitting Happ bats from the left side, which has accounted for 73% of his plate appearances this year, right-handers like to test him with elevated fastballs. It’s a formula Chicago Cubs hitting coach Dustin Kelly has seen righties take with slugger Cody Bellinger.Focusing on being on time for fastballs has helped Happ be able to handle the pitch and be able to take advantage of mistakes in the zone.“Over the long haul, he knows that his swing is going to play out the way that it’s going to,” Kelly told the Tribune on Tuesday. “You can maybe look at the average and look at some of those things and see that it’s down, but if you look at some of the underlying numbers of the OPS and the slugging is starting to come back that those numbers, along with the walks, that he’s putting together a really good season.”Kelly credited Happ for small adjustments heR...
