Coleman, Bowden lead the way as Lamar moves into second place in Southland beating SE Louisiana

BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Robert Coleman threw for a touchdown, and Major Bowden ran for a score as Lamar moved into a second-place tie in the Southland Conference with Southeastern Louisiana. The Cardinals secured a narrow 14-12 victory over the Lions on Saturday.

The Lions had a chance to rally late in the game but turned the ball over on downs during their final drive. Lamar then took possession and managed the clock to preserve their win.

Some Coloradans receive SNAP benefits as others wait; community steps up to help

Some Coloradans are finally seeing food benefits hit their accounts, offering much-needed relief to thousands of families. Approximately 32,000 people have received money on their EBT cards as part of the new rollout.

However, this progress has been temporarily halted. A recent Supreme Court order paused the distribution, leaving hundreds of thousands of eligible recipients still waiting for their benefits.

The pause has caused uncertainty for many, and advocates are calling for a swift resolution to ensure that all Coloradans in need receive timely assistance. Authorities have not yet announced when the rollout will resume.

Watch Carson Beck connect with OL Francis Mauigoa for big man TD vs. Syracuse

Miami football dipped into its bag of tricks and pulled out a lineman touchdown, and it was glorious. Quarterback Carson Beck sold the throwback perfectly and flipped it to right tackle Francis Mauigoa, who rumbled in for a three-yard score late against the Syracuse Orange — the exact kind of big-man magic the ACC Network lives for. Officially, it goes down as a rushing touchdown because the pass was backward. Style points still count.

That wasn’t the only sleight of hand. Earlier, Beck lined up as a decoy, slipped out, and hauled in a 14-yard touchdown from receiver Malachi Toney, opening the floodgates in a game Miami controlled 38-10.

The milestone moment came when Beck crossed 10,000 career passing yards, then immediately uncorked a 61-yard strike to Keelan Marion to put the night on ice.

The box score backs up the show. Beck went 18-of-24 for 247 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, plus the touchdown catch, reigniting Heisman Trophy talks. Marion finished with three receptions for 116 yards, including that long score, while Girard Pringle Jr. paced the ground game with 55 yards and a touchdown.

Miami’s defense made life miserable for Syracuse with six sacks and a pick-six, smothering any comeback hopes. Francis Mauigoa’s big-man touchdown provided the headline-grabber in an impressive team effort.

Why Jim Gaffigan Calls This ‘the Best Time That Standup Comedy Has Ever Had’ Despite Censorship and Cancellation

If Tom Hanks is known as the “everyman” of movies—the ordinary guy so approachable and unpretentious that just about everybody can relate to him in one way or another—then Jim Gaffigan is the “everyman” of comedy. He focuses his humor on everyday observations about universal experiences.

And although most outsiders see the divisive political climate of this time in history as putting humor on trial, Gaffigan looks at it differently.

“I think this will go down in history and it may be ending as we speak, but like, this is the best time that stand-up comedy has ever had,” he says.

“When I started versus even in the time of Lenny Bruce or George Carlin, comedy was a much more middle-class/lower middle-class occupation, meaning, there was not an expectation of an upper middle-class existence. Now, if you’re a functional comedian, you can make a great living. So, from a monetary standpoint, like having a kind of financial security, it would never exist. But it exists now.”

These days, political humor can get comedians in hot water no matter which side of the issues they fall on. But Gaffigan chooses not to go there, citing the pandemic as an example.

“Take politics out of it,” he says. “There were expectations that you can address it. But, people—we’ve gone through the pandemic; we don’t want to hear too much about it. There are comedians that will have very strong views, you know, and have a formula of bringing up this hot button issue. Their audience will stay with them. They’ll have some brilliant insights surrounding it. But I’m kind of of the opinion that, you know, people don’t wanna live in denial, but they also want a break from it.”

The Illinois native has accomplished a whole lot since moving to New York in 1990 to pursue a career in comedy. It all began when a friend in an acting class dared him to attend a stand-up seminar that required the students to do a live comedy set at the end of the course.

He loved it, but it began a cycle of attempting to determine and nail down his style. The guy now known as the “clean comic” with the laid-back delivery tried everything from impressions to “angry comedy.” Seven years later, he found his voice, and his comedy has been evolving ever since.

Some might call the quiet confidence he projects on stage courageous, but Gaffigan sees it differently.

“I think it’s just mental illness, honestly,” he jokes. But on a more serious note, he compares the mental psyching-up a comedian must do on stage to what parents face every day.

“I see this as a parent, that we develop these kind of metaphorical calluses or scabs that make us much more resistant.”

Parenting five children, ages 13–21, has been the inspiration for much of his act and a catalyst for the evolution of his humor, because, as he says, if you have that many kids, you have to have a sense of humor.

“I’ve said this for years: if your kids aren’t annoying you or you aren’t frustrated by the task of parenting, that means you’re not participating in the task of parenting,” he says.

“I think the love I have for my children and the absolute fear that I’m failing colossally is shared by every parent. So the impact of parenting is so enormous on my stand-up.”

Parenting teenagers in this day and age of social media has not been easy—one that Gaffigan calls “a disaster” and “impossible”—but it certainly has resulted in both his personal growth and his growth as a comedian.

“The fact that I have this approach of the ‘drowning continues’ is something that is a nice reprieve for parents. Do you know what I mean? Where they’re not alone. The struggles of being a parent and the struggles of your child are so understandably private. I have this joke right now where I talk about parents of teenagers always sound like they’re hiding something, and it really resonates.

“It’s that experience of parenting that has evolved. So people that enjoy my standup, they might be at a different point in their parental journey, but they can identify with what I’m talking about.”

Caroline Hirsch, founder and former owner of the New York comedy club Carolines on Broadway, is known for an innate knack for identifying the next big thing in comedy—and Gaffigan was one of those comedians.

“I first met Jim when he was performing and honing his craft very early in his career at my club [Carolines on Broadway] on Broadway,” she recalls.

“Even then, he had such a distinct voice, literally and comedically. There was this sharp observational humor and a quiet confidence about him that stood out. He could make the everyday and the mundane feel hilarious and relatable without ever being mean-spirited.”

Hirsch also reflected on his professional evolution.

“It’s been incredible to watch Jim’s growth over the years,” she adds. “His material has deepened. He’s still just as funny, but there’s a warmth and perspective that have come with his experiences as a father, husband, and seasoned performer. Jim has managed to stay true to his comedic voice while continuing to evolve creatively, which is why he remains one of the most respected and beloved comedians in the industry today.”

Respected, indeed. Gaffigan is a seven-time Grammy-nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two-time New York Times best-selling author, three-time Emmy-winning top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling recording artist.

Yet, he still has an air about him that is humble, sincere, and, as Hirsch put it, warm.

“I feel like if I’m humble and sincere, it’s out of necessity, you know what I mean?” he jokes, proving the point.

“Like, I think, if something could go wrong or will get complicated, it will happen to me. It’s kind of an ongoing joke with my manager. But that being said, I’m also grateful and appreciative of the things I’ve gotten to do.”
