FORT WORTH, Texas — Even the irony is bigger in Texas. Nor was any of it lost on Rick George, who acknowledged that while he was kibitzing and black-slapping with Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark like an old college pal, the Pac-12 Conference woke up Friday to find itself the Pac-2.“I mean, certainly there is (some feelings),” the CU athletic director said following a news conference with Buffs chancellor Phil DiStefano, Yormark and TCU officials at swanky Amon G. Carter Stadium. “You know, I hate where some of my peers are and what their options may or may not be. It’s tough. But again, we had to stay focused on what was best for us. And you never know what dominoes are going to fall when you do that.”The final domino for the Pac-12 as we know it fell in the morning, when the Atlantic Coast Conference defied geography and logic, those nefarious arch-enemies of television executives and college presidents, by welcoming Stanford, Cal and SMU into the family.The Cardinal and Golden B...

Is a real starting rotation beginning to emerge for SF Giants?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:44:09 GMT

SAN DIEGO — In one corner of the Giants’ clubhouse here, Keaton Winn took a seat in front of the fresh No. 67 jersey hanging in his locker. A little while later, Tristan Beck, clearly not a starter who keeps to himself before taking the ball, came over and started to chat. Taking a break from strumming a guitar shockingly well, Ryan Walker made it a threesome. And before long, Kyle Harrison had joined them, too.Pitching coach Andrew Bailey walked past and couldn’t help but notice the assembly of young arms.“Wow! Look at this pow-wow,” he said, maybe including a word not fit to print.Between Walker, the opener extraordinaire; Beck, who made his second straight start Friday against the Padres; Harrison, who has lived up to the billing as a top prospect; and Winn, who was one of two September call-ups, the Giants will be looking to four rookies to take down meaningful innings this month.Entering the final month of the season, the Giants are also closer than any ...
