High time India, Pakistan set aside hostilities: Sharif
He said the dialogue process is challenging as it involves hard decisions and important issues. It is a brazen attempt to destabilise the (India-Pakistan) border.
Did the Buckeyes go into this game looking to make some sort of a statement to the College Football Playoff committee, the doubters and to themselves?
Iran’s president orders stepped-up missile production
Truman aircraft carrier and other Western warships and commercial traffic last Saturday. But Iran says any new sanctions could torpedo the wider accord.
The Crimson Tide’s 38-to-bagel victory should have had an R-rating for the carnage wrought upon the Spartans, but for the Buckeyes, it was a tear jerker.
Palestinian shot dead by Israeli troops
Israeli leaders have been upset over the EU’s recent decision to require labels on imported products made in West Bank settlements.
“First and foremost, I wasn’t aware that my license was suspended, and I mean, I’m doing everything I can now, my dad is doing everything he can now to get that handled and get my license back in good standing”, Elliott said Tuesday in his first public comments since the accident. By contrast, Kelly fell to 3-3 in bowl games at Notre Dame, and the Irish’s bowl record fell to 4-11 since their last meaningful bowl-game win 22 years ago when they defeated Texas A&M, 24-21, in the 1994 Cotton Bowl.
With J.T. Barrett installed as the undisputed starting quarterback and with offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Ed Warinner in the coach’s booth instead of on the sideline, Ohio State scored 86 points in the final eight quarters of the season in a 42-13 win over MI and on Friday in a 44-28 win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. He has seen Florida, FSU and Miami all win national championships, and he covered Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden and Don Shula along the way.
Smith was helped off the field in the first quarter of the game after his foot appeared to get caught in the turf, and he grabbed his knee in pain.
To go through that and reach the Fiesta Bowl is impressive. Keep playing them, get in them. They controlled their own destiny and faltered when the screws tightened. “It was a scary situation, really just trying to put it behind me and focus on this game”. Bosa said he was hoping to keep his decision private until after the game in order to keep focus on the task at hand. The bowl result stings – as always for ND in major bowls since 1/1/94 – but there’s evidence things are going the right direction. One tweet read, “That loss hurts even more now [sad face emoji]”. “It is what it is”. We had a lot of momentum. But that’s life. Everything happens for a reason. But when asked about lingering regrets, he admitted there are a few.
Notre Dame just neeeeeeever quite felt out of it. “Certainly the guy that is so impactful”, Kelly said of Smith. “We’ve had a great ride”.
In a game billed as a battle of two of the top defenses in the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, the Wolverines’ offense shined brightly in their first bowl victory since 2012.
And Notre Dame, like MI before it, paid the price. Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey celebrates after scoring against Iowa during the first half of the Rose Bowl NCAA college football game, Friday, Jan. 1, 2016, in Pasadena, Calif.

Meyer gave a attractive tribute to the seniors who achieved their 50th career victory, saying “they will go down in history as one of the greatest teams of all time”. “There’s not going to be a huge drop-off…. I think it will be a similar hunger to when we won it all”. “This just proves that our team is something special”. As good an explanation as any. And once the team made it back to the locker room, head coach Urban Meyer broke out some popular dance moves-“Ran Off Da Plug Twice” and “The Dab”-with his teammates”.
