despite being the wife of renowned soccer coach gregg berhalter, rosalind prefers to maintain a low profile and hasn’t shared much about her professional life, nor is she active on social media.
gregg berhalter and his longtime wife, rosalind, faced public scrutiny in 2023 when a 1992 altercation incident resurfaced
the 2022 world cup u.S. Men’s national team coach gregg berhalter and his longtime wife, rosalind santana, faced backlash from netizens when their altercation incident from 31 years ago resurfaced in 2023.
in 1992, while freshmen at the university of north carolina, gregg berhalter and rosalind santana had a heated argument outside a bar, which occurred while they were still dating.

it’s really sad to see what is happening.[Pic.Twitter.Com/4tpqt4ydky][january 4, 2023]
this incident further ended their relationship at the time, but they reconnected several months later, sought counselling, and rebuilt their relationship.
the incident remained private until january 2023, when danielle reyna, mother of u.S. Soccer player gio reyna, informed u.S. Soccer officials that she intended to expose the decades-old event after being upset about her son’s playing time.
this led the u.S. Soccer federation to open an independent investigation. The inquiry confirmed the 1992 event as an isolated incident that berhalter had already disclosed and addressed years ago.
it found no ongoing issues or legal barriers to his coaching role. The investigation also revealed that the reyna family had pressured officials and threatened berhalter during the world cup period.
likewise, gregg also released a statement addressing the incident and stating that both he and his wife have learned their lessons and set the foundation for their relationship moving forward.
he also stated that they are in a loving and devoted relationship and happily living their life with their amazing kids.

- “to infinity...And beyond!”
- ?Buzz lightyears catchphrase
[[src]](/wiki/toy_story_(franchise))
buzz lightyear is the deuteragonist of the disney•pixar toy story franchise). He is a heroic spaceman action figure originally belonging to andy davis.
depicted as a space ranger working under the authority of the star command, buzz was created during a time where astronauts were especially popular amongst children. Because of this, his arrival in the original toy story film created conflict with andys favorite toy, sheriff woody, though this rivalry would eventually blossom into a lifelong friendship. He is also the archenemy of the evil emperor zurg.
quick answers
what is the origin of buzz lightyears name in toy story?
how does buzz lightyears character evolve throughout the toy story franchise?
what is the significance of buzz lightyears role as a space ranger?
how does buzz lightyears arrival create conflict in the original toy story film?
what is the relationship between buzz lightyear and sheriff woody in toy story?
background
buzz is a toy from a science fiction franchise of the same name. In his fictional backstory, buzz is a universal space ranger from the galactic alliances elite division of the space ranger corps universal protection unit and the captain of the alliances team. Buzz is trained in several forms of martial arts and is a highly skilled warrior in hand-to-hand combat. Being in peak physical condition, buzz makes a perfect space ranger and is an example to many.
black friday reel
the reel had buzz largely undergo the same intended role of being knocked out of the window by woody, with the only real difference being that woody did so deliberately by tossing him out under the guise of a sportsmanship handshake. Its also implied in his sportsmanship handshake gesture regarding which among them will go to pizza planet in this scene that buzz, unlike the final version, was aware by that point of actually being a toy.
personality
- “woody, we need to figure out whats best for everyone!”
- ?Buzz to woody
[[src]](/wiki/toy_story_3)
buzz, like many characters in toy story, is a complicated one, who feels genuine emotions such as pride, anger, depression, and sadness, much like a regular human. These are traits that he shares with his best friend, woody, however, one could say that buzz is better at keeping his emotions in check than the cowboy. Buzz is known for his bravery and courage with a by the book mindset, believing the way people should live their life by following the rules. Though there are rare moments when he will bend the rules or tell a cover story if needed to when he knows it is the right thing to do. Though possessing great leadership qualities, one of buzzs biggest character flaws at times is that he can be rather unemotional.
like woody, buzz also goes through an evolution throughout the series. In toy story, he was incredibly deluded and actually believed that he himself was the real buzz lightyear and would not listen when told that hes really a toy modeled off of the character. Because of this, buzz believed he could do everything that a real space ranger was able to do such as fly and that his laser was a deadly weapon when it was actually just a light bulb. Since seeing the truth of his delusion, buzz has shown a degree of embarrassment of it. In toy story 2, while being attacked by another buzz lightyear action figure who also thought he was the real buzz lightyear, buzz remarked in a self-conscious and annoyed tone: tell me i wasnt this deluded.
buzz can come off as being charismatic and charming, most of andys toys completely adored him just after he was unwrapped. Even andy, whose favorite toy was sheriff woody and was completely obsessed with cowboys since kindergarten, went head over heels for buzz who instantly became his other favorite toy. Buzz also possessed something of a vengeful side, such as attacking woody when he tried to terminate him which was justified by saying revenge is not something we enforce on my planet. But were not on my planet, are we? He is a little bit irrational at times such as attempting to save another toy from being blown up by the neighborhood juvenile delinquent sid, despite not realizing that he would be destroyed as well but it also shows that he is quite brave as he was willing to rescue a defenseless person even if the odds were stacked against him.
however, his personality changed completely, especially after discovering the truth about himself. At first, he went into a state of manic depression, thinking that he himself was nothing more than a stupid, plain, insignificant toy, and also developed a bit of a suicidal side. Such moments were when sids cannibal toys were amassing around him he didnt even look fazed by this. Even when being strapped to an explosive rocket, he didnt seem to remotely care that he might die as he was that depressed. But after being given a motivational speech by a captive woody, he begins to understand his role as a toy; to bring happiness and joy to their owner. After this, buzz learns a lot more about honor, friendship, bravery, and selflessness. He is usually seen without his helmet as of toy story 2 because he knows hes not a real space ranger and toys do not need space helmets.
by toy story 2, buzz has completely accepted himself as a toy, especially during his encounter with ultra buzz makes him realize how deluded he was back in the first film. Woody is one of his closest friends and understands him better than anyone other than the latters girlfriend, bo peep.
buzz is also slightly clueless to human cultures, such as the case while he was trying to calm woody down about cowboy camp and accidentally pronounces smores as schmoes, which is corrected by the latter. This was also shown during the first one while looking at sid, he mistook his pet dog scud for him. Also in toy story toons: hawaiian vacation, he mispronounced hawaii as heiweiaii.
buzz notoriously has a massive crush on jessie. While buzz is normally awkward around her in play mode whilst in demo mode, he refers to her as a temptress and immune to her bewitching good looks, but when accidentally turned to spanish mode he becomes passionate, confident, and romantic, openly expressing his love for the cowgirl with romantic poetry and admiration. He showed something of a jealous and showy side when woody returned and jessie was only happy to see him alive, buzz replied el vaquero/the cowboy in a jealous tone. While trying to escape sunnyside instead of helping woody up, he athletically opens a hatch by himself as a means of impressing his crush. After the events of [toy story 3](/wiki/toy_story_3), the two have seemingly started a legitimate relationship.
physical appearance
buzz lightyear is a stocky electronic spaceman action figure. He has fair skin, blue eyes, and an outline of a swirl on his chin, which gives him a cleft chin. While in toy story 2 and the opening portion of buzz lightyear of star command: the adventure begins, he is described as fat, he is more likely simply muscular judging by the appearance of the human buzz shown in lightyear. Toy buzz is 11.43 inches tall, with his helmet adding 0.37 inches, and human buzz is 59 according to a promotion for lightyear.
he wears a purple head cap and collar, and a clear plastic space helmet with purple buttons on both sides that open or close it. His green torso consists of a light blue sticker that has the words space ranger and the star command symbol, purple straps connected to it, three oval talk buttons - one blue, one green, and one red, a yellow name tag that says lightyear above a red button that pops out purple plastic glider wings with red and white candy cane lining on the top of each, and green ends with red and green flashing lights. On his back, he has a white jetpack with a purple valve and green triangular accents and two black and yellow stickers - one says, danger, and the other says jet exhaust. His white arms have green stripes with gray circular elbows and matching spheres on the end of his upper arms with black rings on it. After breaking his arm, the gray sphere on his left arm is revealed to have a white arm socket peg resembling a screw. His gloves have purple lines on his knuckles and fingertips and green squares on the back of each. His hand wrists are thus ball-jointed for articulation. His right arm has a red button on his upper arm with a yellow and black striped sticker that reads laser and a red light on his right wrist. His left arm has a space ranger symbol sticker on his upper arm and a communicator sticker in his wrist communicator (the latter of which is later peeled off) and made in taiwan engraved inside on his lid of the wrist communicator. A black bending with a thin green waist. His white spaceman pants have matching collars at the bottom and gray spheres behind his knees and hold his white shoes with green toe accents, purple soles, and black handwriting reading andy (bonnie after toy story that time forgot) on his right shoe sole.
appearances
[toy story](/wiki/toy_story)
in the original toy story film, buzz is a birthday present to andy from his mother, [mrs. Davis](/wiki/mrs._davis). As woody introduces buzz to andys room and the other toys, the cowboy quickly learns that buzz believes himself to be an actual space ranger. This doesnt stop buzz from becoming the most popular toy in the bedroom, as well as with andy, who ditches his western aesthetics for that of astronauts and space. That, coupled with buzzs delusions, sparks a bitter rivalry between buzz and woody.
one day, as andy is about to leave for [pizza planet](/wiki/pizza_planet), woody tries to hide buzz to prevent him from going but he instead, accidentally knocks him out the window. As planned, regardless, woody is taken instead of buzz, but only because andy cannot find him. Buzz sneaks into the back of the familys car anyway. During a gas stop, buzz confronts woody for his actions, but their bickering results in the two being left behind. They catch a ride to pizza planet but are taken by a cruel child named sid phillips before they can reunite with andy. At sids house, buzz spots a commercial on television advertising the buzz lightyear action figure which reveals that the action figures are not made for flight, proving woodys claim that hes only a toy and not a real space ranger. Buzz tries to prove his legitimacy by trying to fly out of the house through the upstairs window by leaping off the bannister, but ends up bouncing off the stairs, falling to the entryway floor, and breaking his arm instead. He falls into a state of depression, which inadvertently foils all of woodys plans to get home. After woody failed to escape sids house, the mutant toys surround buzz and fixed his arm back in place, surprising woody.
eventually, sid plots to have buzz blown up with a new firework he ordered. As buzz accepts his fate, woody confesses his insecurities, revealing he felt inadequate compared to a toy as amazing as buzz. This gives buzz his confidence back (after woody says that he cant go back home, because andy and his toys wouldnt love him anymore), but sid takes him before the two can escape. Woody gathers the rest of sids toys to foil their owners scheme, successfully saving buzz. The two then try to return to andy, but he and his family have already packed up and began to move to their new home. Woody and buzz use the rocket to catch up, which eventually blasts the two into the air. Instead of plummeting to their doom, buzz uses his wing feature to fall with style (gliding) safely into mrs. Davis car, reuniting the two with andy.
[toy story 2](/wiki/toy_story_2)
in toy story 2, after woody is stolen by [al mcwhiggin](/wiki/al_mcwhiggin), owner of [als toy barn](/wiki/al%27s_toy_barn), buzz plans a rescue mission consisting of himself, rex, mr. Potato head, slinky, and hamm. At als toy barn, while separated from the group, buzz meets [another figure of himself](/wiki/ultra_buzz_lightyear). Unfortunately, he believes he is a real space ranger and seals buzz away in a box to keep him from going rogue. Buzz manages to escape and follows his friends (and the belt buzz) to als apartment, where they reunite with woody, but there is still confusion about who the real buzz lightyear is. Buzz proves his legitimacy by removing the helmet of the belt buzzs and showing andys name on the bottom of his boot. He tries to convince woody to return home before al can sell him off to [tokyo](/wiki/tokyo), [japan](/wiki/japan).
woody, however, reveals that he wants to stay, as he has grown fearful that andy will abandon him upon growing up, and that his roundup gang will have to go back to storage if he doesnt go to the museum with them. This causes buzz to use woodys words from the first film to persuade him, saying that he is a toy, not a collectors item. He then reminds woody how he once taught him that life is only worth living if he is being loved by a kid, and that he came all the way to rescue him because he believed him. But woody still refuses to go back home, and he even coldly tells buzz that he just wasted his time. Hurt by woodys words and disappointed at his actions, buzz and the others start to head home without woody. Woody tells buzz that going to the museum is his only chance, to which buzz asks him if he wants to be watched from glass and never be loved by kids again. Fortunately, after listening to youve got a friend in me from the tv, woody has a change of heart. Unfortunately, the bitter [stinky pete](/wiki/stinky_pete) stops this, forcing woody to stay with him and the rest of als [woodys roundup](/wiki/woody%27s_roundup) toy set. Buzz and the other toys follow al to the [airport](/wiki/tri-county_international_airport), where woody is put into the luggage compartments. They manage to find him and fight off stinky pete, saving woody as well as [bullseye](/wiki/bullseye) and [jessie](/wiki/jessie), who all return home with the rest of andys toys. During the epilogue, buzz shows signs of affection towards jessie, which she accepts.
[toy story 3](/wiki/toy_story_3)
in toy story 3, andy has grown up and is preparing to leave for college. A few toys still remain, and all (except woody) come to agree that the best thing for them to do is donate themselves. Under buzzs leadership, they are taken to [sunnyside daycare](/wiki/sunnyside_daycare), home to toys that have been outgrown by their owners. The leader of the daycare, [lotso](/wiki/lots-o%27-huggin%27_bear), promises the toys that theyll live a long and happy life with sunnyside, solidifying their decision to stay. This angers woody, who believes they should return home. The other toys reluctantly refuse, and a downhearted buzz bids woody farewell.
later on, buzz and the rest of andys toys are eager to play with the kids from the caterpillar room, though playtime isnt as exciting as they hoped it would. They find out that the caterpillar room is actually filled with toddlers who do not know how to play with their toys properly. After an extremely rough and torturous day of playtime in the caterpillar room, buzz sets off to request that he and his friends be moved to the butterfly room with older children. As he sneaks into the secret hideout of lotsos gang inside the vending machine, buzz finds out that they deliberately put him and andys toys in the caterpillar room. Before buzz can leave the vending machine, he bumps into big baby, who throws him on the into sight of lotsos gang. Big baby covers buzz using a hood with a rag doll face and is taken to the library.
buzz is later tied up to a timeout chair made out of [lego duplo](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/lego_duplo) bricks and angrily demands lotsos minions to let him see lotso. Just then, lotso appears and unties him. Buzz explains to him that the children in the caterpillar room are too young to play with toys, and requests that he and his friends could transfer to the butterfly room. Lotso grants his request and recruits him as a member of his gang. Buzz is about to go get his friends, but lotso refuses to allow them to go to the butterfly room, saying that they need to stay in the caterpillar room. Buzz argues that his friends dont belong there, and lotso tells him that for the good of the community, he makes the newer, stronger toys to go through the hardships he and his gang cant bear anymore. While buzz agrees with lotso, he still refuses to leave his friends behind, because they are a family and must stay together. This causes lotso to drop his kind facade and switch buzz to demo mode. In this state, buzzs memories are blocked, and as a result, his space ranger delusions return. He is later ordered to imprison his friends for trying to escape the daycare. Buzz is then left in charge to guard them every night, though the toys (under woodys guidance, who returned to save them) intimate a plan to return buzz to normal and return to andy.
[barbie](/wiki/barbie) forces [ken](/wiki/ken) to tell her what lotso did to buzz and gets the manual from the [bookworm](/wiki/bookworm). Unfortunately, their tampering only switches buzz to spanish mode, making him a romantic and charismatic space ranger with no memories or the ability to speak english. Nevertheless, he is told that woody and the others are his friends and joins them in escaping sunnyside. While doing so, he develops romantic feelings for jessie, though she is more baffled by his spanish mode than taken. After confronting lotso and his gang, the toys are dragged into a garbage truck due to lotso dragging woody into the garbage dump and hauled to the [dump](/wiki/tri-county_landfill). Along the way, a television falls on buzz and reverts him back to his normal self.
inside the garbage factory, buzz and the others narrowly escape termination and return to andys home the next morning. They wash themselves off and place themselves in a box meant for the attic, which andy has always intended for them to go while he takes woody to college. Instead, however, they are donated to a little girl named [bonnie](/wiki/bonnie_anderson), who loves and cares for them just as much as andy did in the past.
[toy story toons](/wiki/toy_story_toons)
buzz plays a significant role in [small fry](/wiki/small_fry), where he and rex are taken with bonnie to [poultry palace](/wiki/poultry_palace). There, buzz is replaced by a fun meal buzz lightyear, leaving buzz stranded at the restaurant. Unable to get through the front door, buzz goes through the vents, only to fall into the basement, where he meets a support group for discarded fun meal toys. Buzz is mistaken for an abandoned fun meal toy and is encouraged to join the group. Fortunately, he manages to escape and reunites with his friends before they make their attempt at rescue. Afterward, buzz takes his diminutive counterpart to the restaurant, where the latter joins the support group with the former as his sponsor.
[toy story of terror!](/Wiki/toy_story_of_terror!)
buzz is seen on a road trip with bonnie to her grandmothers house, watching a scary movie with the other toys. When they are forced to stop off at the [sleep well](/wiki/sleep_well) motel for the night after woody warns [mr. Potato head](/wiki/mr._potato_head) not to wander off because he might get lost, he leaves anyway and disappears and buzz, woody, and jessie go to search for him and eventually come across his arm. A monster (later revealed to be [mr. Jones](/wiki/mr._jones)) is seen snatching up all the toys, and takes the arm, buzz and woody, leaving jessie alone by herself. It is later revealed that buzz, along with all the other toys, were taken to [ron](/wiki/ron_the_manager)s office, where he sells the toys on ebay. The toys are all later saved by jessie when she opens the cabinet, and when they leave to check out, bonnie and [her mother](/wiki/mrs._anderson) notice the toys in the background and retrieve them. Buzz along with all the other toys continue their road trip.
[toy story that time forgot](/wiki/toy_story_that_time_forgot)
buzz first appears in the special when bonnie takes some of her toys to [mason](/wiki/mason)s house. He walks around the battlesaur playsets. Later, when it is revealed that the battlesaurs are not aware that theyre toys, buzz tries to explain to [the cleric](/wiki/the_cleric) what they are, but he is shrugged off. Later, buzz along with woody is seen being thrown into the battlesaurs arena, where they are forced to fight. When they lose, the cleric orders them to be destroyed. However, once the cleric reveals he knows hes a toy, he realizes he cant let them reveal his secret to the other battlesaurs.
buzz and woody are forced to a vent fan, where they would be destroyed by it, but the fan is turned off by [trixie](/wiki/trixie) before they can be destroyed. Buzz later returns with bonnie to [her house](/wiki/bonnie%27s_house).
[toy story 4](/wiki/toy_story_4)
buzz returns in toy story 4. In the flashback, he helps woody and bo with rescuing rc. Later, he asks woody how he is and he is chosen as the towns mailman. He also is the first one to be excited about a road trip. He later meets forky and mentions how hes a handful the next morning. Later he is told by woody caring for him is harder than he thought. Later he gets told about an inner voice and notices forky disappear. He goes with woody and the gang on a road trip with bonnie, where the group finds a carnival. He then realizes that woody was right and decides to find them. He is strapped to a prize shelf at a carnival game, where he meets [ducky and bunny](/wiki/ducky_and_bunny). He escapes and ducky and bunny immediately capture him. Woody and bo peep assign buzz, ducky, and bunny to help them rescue [forky](/wiki/forky).
at the antique store, buzz gathers everyone to steal a key and find woody and bo peep, who end up meeting [duke caboom](/wiki/duke_caboom), who joins them and they run into [gabby gabby](/wiki/gabby_gabby) and the [bensons](/wiki/the_bensons) and exit the antique store, but not before noticing bonnies backpack.
woody begs everyone to get back in the store, but they leave, and buzz returns to the rv. Inside the rv, buzz urges trixie to act as a hidden gps and bonnies dad is creeped out as if the rv was a monster truck.
after arriving at the carnival, buzz and the gang find woody, bo, ducky, bunny, and duke caboom. Woody is hesitant to return to bonnie so buzz tells him to stay with bo and the rest of her friends.

trivia
- buzzs fictional home planet is the planet of morph.
- his lightyear incarnation however comes from earth and there has been no mention of morph in the latter.
- buzz lightyears name was inspired by
[apollo 11](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/apollo_11)astronaut[edwin buzz aldrin](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/buzz_aldrin), the second person to walk on the moon after[neil armstrong](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/neil_armstrong). - Buzz lightyear was mentioned in justin biebers song, boyfriend.
- on the posters and artwork of his spaceship box, you can see buzz has some purple trim on his green belt which is absent on his actual doll, his laser button is different, and lacks some decals etc.
[angus maclane](/wiki/angus_maclane)stated that that the toy version of buzz in-verse was based on a buzz lightyear cartoon in-verse unseen to the audience, not the former itself. That being said, the director does note that he views the in-universe series as not having been produced yet, seemingly establishing lightyear as having come out within the toy story timeline sometime before the events of the original film and, therefore, the previous buzz spinoffs.[[3]](#cite_note-3)in addition, a deleted opening scene for the original toy story film shows andy watching a tv show of the character under the name buzz lightyear: defender of the universe.- Buzz lightyears catchphrase, to infinity and beyond, was referenced in
[beyoncé](/wiki/beyonc%c3%a9)s song [single ladies (put a ring on it)](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/single_ladies_(put_a_ring_on_it)). - In all three films of the original toy story trilogy, there is one delusional buzz lightyear toy who believes he is a real space ranger.
- in the first film, it was the current buzz lightyear who believed he was a real space ranger until he learned he was actually just a toy just like woody had said. This catches up to him when he views the buzz lightyear commercial in sids home. He also realises upon viewing that he is not stationed up in the gamma quadrant of sector 4 rather he was made in taiwan on earth.
- in the second film, when the toys went to als toy barn, buzz was attacked by another newer buzz lightyear after he tried to take newer buzzs belt, and was placed in a display box while the other delusional buzz went with the woody search group after hearing rex say he found the secret to beating zurg (in a video game). It should be noted that this is technically the only instance in the film series thus far that andys buzz himself does not become delusional about being a genuine space ranger.
- in the third film, lotsos gang kidnapped buzz and reset him to demo mode where he lost his memories and reverted to his delusional buzz state. When his friends attempted to reset him, they found they couldnt reset him by putting him back to normal mode and instead accidentally reset him to delusional buzz in spanish mode. He later regained his memories and his current persona when he was hit by a tv set while saving jessie.
- buzz is similar to
[bolt](/wiki/bolt_(character))from the[2008](/wiki/2008)[film of the same name](/wiki/bolt_(film)), as both believed to possess their tv show superpowers powers, and yet, do not have them. It is not until later that both heroes realize (and admit) that they dont have any powers. - Buzzs name is different in some languages:
- in the european french dub, he is named buzz lÉclair (buzz thunderbolt), though he keeps his original name in the canadian french version.
- on his merchandise releases by hasbro in 2001, his yellow name tag sticker has lightyear replaced with buzz lÉclair itself in french releases which is nowhere present in the actual said dub of the film.
- the slovenian dub calls him ken kozmoblisk. To distinguish him from barbies ken, buzz is called blisk for short instead of ken.
- in the european french dub, he is named buzz lÉclair (buzz thunderbolt), though he keeps his original name in the canadian french version.
- the role of buzz lightyear was originally offered to
[billy crystal](/wiki/billy_crystal)who turned it down, a move he later admitted regretting. Crystal eventually voiced[mike wazowski](/wiki/mike_wazowski),[monsters, inc.](/Wiki/monsters,_inc.)And reprised the role in[monsters university](/wiki/monsters_university). Also,[bill murray](/wiki/bill_murray),[chevy chase](/wiki/chevy_chase),[jim carrey](/wiki/jim_carrey),[dan aykroyd](/wiki/dan_aykroyd),[jason alexander](/wiki/jason_alexander),[matthew broderick](/wiki/matthew_broderick),[kevin costner](/wiki/kevin_costner),[michael j.

Kirk from star trek (
[1966](/wiki/1966)) when he remarks, there seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere... - Buzz does a vulcan salute from he star trek series when saying farewell to woody at the gas station, when leaving andys house to embark on his mission to rescue woody, and when saying farewell to the other buzz who is playing catch with zurg.
- buzz makes a cameo in
[finding nemo](/wiki/finding_nemo)as one of the toys in the dentists waiting room. - The lightyear tire brand in the
[cars](/wiki/cars)franchise is a reference to buzz lightyears name and is also a parody of the goodyear tire brand. - Buzz appears during the end credits of cars as a car, arguing with a car version of woody. He is a space rover, and woody is a station wagon.
- all
[piston cup](/wiki/piston_cup)racers tires in cars (including[lightning mcqueen](/wiki/lightning_mcqueen)s) are branded as lightyear, both a reference to buzz lightyear and a play on the name goodyear (an actual tire manufacturer). - The original script for toy story 3 had buzz and his entire toy line recalled back to taiwan (where the buzz lightyear toys are made) due to a defect. Apparently, that defect could have explained why buzz and his toy line believed themselves to be real space rangers. While this plot idea was ultimately scrapped, the final script did still include an explanation as to why the entire toy line had at the very least initial delusional beliefs to being the real buzz lightyear (as apparently they are pre-set to demo mode when first made).
- although, it appears that some buzz lightyear units are an exception to this flaw; a buzz lightyear doll andy davis grandmother mistakenly sent to him as a second action figure who switched places with andys his original buzz in the return of buzz lightyear, published in issues 0-3 of
[boom! Studios](/wiki/boom!_studios) toy story comic book, was completely aware that he was a toy and was dissapointed of being recalled and just wanted to be played with. - And according to the concept arts for the original version of toy story 3, and zurgs box when buzz runs over it before waking him in toy story 2, his toy line seems to be produced by a company under the name wocka-wocka toys. And in the scrapped circle 7 screenplay of toy story 3, buzz himself and his franchise was created and designed by a taiwanese man named
[mr. Kagoy](https://disney.Fandom.Com/wiki/mr._kagoy#overview)who was also the owner and founder of the wocka-wocka toy company.[[12]](#cite_note-12)surprisingly enough, buzz would even snap alive right in front of kagoy and the latter would cooperate with buzz and his friends to save toys from being crushed by the machine which kagoy didnt intend for his workers to do.
- although, it appears that some buzz lightyear units are an exception to this flaw; a buzz lightyear doll andy davis grandmother mistakenly sent to him as a second action figure who switched places with andys his original buzz in the return of buzz lightyear, published in issues 0-3 of
- according to earlier drafts of toy story 2, andys buzz himself was originally intended to obtain a utility belt in toy story 2 from a newer release of him under the name
[ultra buzz 2000](/wiki/ultra_buzz_2000) (who would end up as[ultra buzz lightyear](/wiki/ultra_buzz_lightyear)in the final film) after defeating zurg.[[13]](#cite_note-13)in the final version, ultra buzz retains his utility belt, although andys buzz attempted to obtain it off his waist causing ultra to suddenly snap to life. - In only the north american release of toy story 2, buzz gives out his speech with the us flag in the backdrop and the us national anthem,
[the star-spangled banner](https://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/the_star-spangled_banner), playing in the background, similar to the way general patton did in the film patton ([1970](/wiki/1970)). - The colors on buzz are the favorites of
[john lasseter](/wiki/john_lasseter)(lime green) and his wife, nancy (purple). - Buzzs facial features are loosely based on john lasseter himself.
- buzz was based on the g.I. Joe toys from the
[1960s](/wiki/1960). However, he more closely resembles the classic hasbro toy rom the space knight (coincidently, figures of buzz himself where produced by the latter in 2001). Like buzz, rom is a space ranger in a suit of powered armor who fights a race of hostile alien beings with a special laser. - In the
[house of mouse](/wiki/house_of_mouse)episode [house ghosts](/wiki/house_ghosts),[donald duck](/wiki/donald_duck)dresses up like buzz for halloween. - Buzz, along with woody, were at one point planned to appear as new summons in
[kingdom hearts ii final mix](/wiki/kingdom_hearts_ii), but this idea was scrapped. - Buzz was nominated for afis 100 years...100 heroes and villains. One of three animated heroes appears on the list, along with belle and peter pan. Unfortunately, none of them made the list.
- buzz is 11.43 inches tall, and his helmet adds 0.37 inches.
- the quality of buzzs voice box deteriorated within the ten years between toy story 2 and toy story 3, and is now on par with woodys sound quality (ironic since woody is from the 1950s).
- despite coming to terms with his identity as a toy, buzz is apparently perplexed by the existence of his voice box. In toy story 4, after misinterpreting woodys words, buzz comes to believe his voice box is in fact his conscience, or inner voice, and begins to listen to its recordings for advice when faced with conflict.
- buzz and jessies dance moves during the end credits of toy story 3 were choreographed by tony dovolani and cheryl burke of dancing with the stars.
- buzz has labels on his rear end. In toy story, he had a label that said disney, which was shown when he attempted to fly out of the window at sids house, and in toy story 2, he had a disney/pixar label that was shown as he (riding rc) knocked over hamm (as evil dr. Porkchop) during one of andys play scenarios. This was also seen in toy story 3, just before he was picked up by a child at sunnyside. The latter reappears in kingdom hearts iii.
- the characters that buzz and zurg are based on from whatever theyre from in the toy story universe, are spoofs of luke skywalker and darth vader. They parody one of the last scenes in star wars episode v: the empire strikes back, where zurg claims hes buzzs father just like vader did to luke, as the zurg and utility belt buzz in toy story 2 think theyre the real versions of themselves and fight in a parody of the luke/vader fight in star wars.
- when toy story was being made, buzz wasnt going to be in the main plot. Tinny was going to be in his place. But john lasseter decided a tin toy wouldnt be a good toy for a boy, so tinny was scrapped and lasseter decided to put in a military/space character that a boy would want so badly. When names came around, the original two were lunar larry and tempis from morph. In the documentary beyond infinity: buzz and the journey to lightyear, an early test script had him named tecor which was an acronym for telegalactic earthbound, cyborg of rimboz with other suggested names being tolar or microz.
- stinky pete said that space rangers sold more than the 1950s cowboys, which makes it so buzzs predecessors have been around since the early or late 1960s.
- buzz tends to mispronounce words. For example, he mispronounces the word smores as schmoes, and mispronounces
[hawaii](/wiki/hawaii)as hay-way-i. Woody corrects him both times.- This is most likely due to the fact that he hails from morph while hawaii is well-known to be a place on earth.
- buzz is also shown to have weak leadership, making actions without giving orders whatsoever, hence the reason why woody let jessie lead his gang.
- despite his strength and size, buzz can be easily be picked up by rex, jessie, and bo throughout the series.
- in toy story 3, buzzs batteries on his back are branded with
[buy n large](/wiki/buy_n_large), a company appears in[wall-e](/wiki/wall-e_(film)). - In
[the shaggy dog](/wiki/the_shaggy_dog_(2006_film))as dave douglas (played by tim allen) is racing to the court in his dog form, he dives off a bridge and yells out buzzs catchphrase to infinity and beyond! Flik also says it in[a bugs life](/wiki/a_bug%27s_life)[outtakes](/wiki/outtakes)as he grabs a piece of dandelion, he apologized soon afterward saying that he couldnt resist.- The line was parodied in the
[buzz lightyear of star command](/wiki/buzz_lightyear_of_star_command)episode[lost in time](/wiki/lost_in_time)as to infinity and even further, as well as in the episode[miras wedding](/wiki/mira%27s_wedding)as to infinity and jolly well past that.
- the line was parodied in the
- in
[the santa clause 2](/wiki/the_santa_clause_2)as[scott calvin](/wiki/scott_calvin)is fighting[toy santa](/wiki/toy_santa)(both of whom are played by tim allen), toy santa tells scott you are one sad strange little man.- In the
[cars](/wiki/cars)credits, the line (as well as toy story) was parodied when the buzz car tells the woody car you are a sad strange little wagon.
- in the
- he is referenced in the
[runaways](/wiki/runaways_(tv_series))episode [last rites](/wiki/last_rites_(runaways)) when karolina refers to her flying as falling with style. - His
[original 1990s dolls by thinkaway](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/buzz_lightyear_ultimate_talking_action_figure)have his wings popping out from the sides, but starting from hasbros[toy story and beyond!](Https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/toy_story_and_beyond)figures being the[deluxe electronic buzz lightyear](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/deluxe_electronic_buzz_lightyear)in 2001, they finally swing out like in the films.- The karate chop action feature is not commonly seen on the real-world toys either, but one of them being the
[disney store release of him](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/talking_buzz_lightyear_(disney_store/disney_parks))does however include the feature. - Due to limitations, the real-world toys cant retract their helmets all the way inside their bodies.
- he didnt have a wrist communicator either on most of his original era of dolls, save for 2 special edition releases of the model being thinkaways
[intergalactic buzz lightyear](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/intergalactic_buzz_lightyear)from 1996 and[infinity edition buzz lightyear](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/the_infinity_edition_buzz_lightyear)from 1998 have a flapping wrist communicator, alongside mattels similar[flight and night control buzz lightyears](https://toystorymerchandise.Fandom.Com/wiki/flight_control_buzz_lightyear_(mattel))from around 1999.- So far (much like the other characters), no buzz lightyear toy is completely accurate to the one seen in the films.
- the karate chop action feature is not commonly seen on the real-world toys either, but one of them being the
- in the first film, buzz freezes when he is around andy and sid despite originally believing he was real and not a toy.
- according to
[lee unkrich](/wiki/lee_unkrich), co-director of toy story 2 & director of toy story 3, it is an involuntary instinct that buzz has.[[14]](#cite_note-14)
- according to
- in reality, buzz wouldnt be able to retract his helmet shields inside his body due to the fact that the domes would block the mechanism for the features and electronics. This is the real reason why the real-life toys based on him only have the helmet retracted half-way.
- it is also physically impossible for his other arm to reach his laser bicep since the shoulders dont have enough extension. In some scenes when he does this, you can see animation goofs of his biceps incorrectly sinking into his chest while he is doing so.
- when buzzs jetpack is opened up in the third film, there is no mechanism connected shown on the back for his wings and karate chop action, making it questionable as to how his features actually work.
- his toy mode facial expressions changed throughout the films. The first film has him with a serious expression, but the second film gives him a happier expression (though the former was reused for the display ultra buzz lightyear, while the rest of the on-sale units had the same expression as andys buzz did in the latter). In toy story 3, it changed again and has been his latest ever since. This was most likely done to represent his softening character. Andy didnt pay attention to this, luckily enough.
- there is one scene in the fourth film where buzz has a closed-mouth-smile when he should have his correct facial expression of a grin. Additionally, the closed-mouth smile expression was identically used for thinkaways 2019 karate chop buzz lightyear.
- in the original film, there is also another error where he is briefly seen with a dead-on closed mouth expression when being captured by sid in the claw machine, alongside the rest of his toy-line of the aisle seen in the commercial of als toy barn.
- despite peeling off his wrist communicator sticker in the first movie and it being permanently absent from his wrist when seen in later movies, real-life buzz lightyear toys with an openable communicator (even those specifically based on andys buzz) still include the sticker on his wrist.
[[15]](#cite_note-15) - although it appears andy wanted to keep buzzs original spaceship box in the first film, it is absent in toy story 2 and was never seen since (assuming it was trashed/thrown away), it does however appear in a
[deleted opening scene](https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=dlvaeae6ds0)where the aliens are seen using it as a hideout during playtime. It was also meant to make a return in the earlier version of toy story 3, according to the story draft where buzz would sit inside it and find inside there, a book of instructions (which made its way in the final film) showing information how to get him fixed, saying: for repairs, contact wocka-wocka toy company, taipei, taiwan, republic of china.[[16]](#cite_note-16) - its unknown why sunnyside daycare had a buzz lightyear manual, unless they once had a buzz lightyear action figure themselves.
- in lightyear, he doesnt get his toy counterparts identical-looking signature space ranger suit until at the end of the film.
- buzz became the first among andys toys besides woody to primarily star in a toy story-related media, with that being the tv film
[buzz lightyear of star command: the adventure begins](/wiki/buzz_lightyear_of_star_command:_the_adventure_begins), as well as[its follow-up series](/wiki/buzz_lightyear_of_star_command)and the spin-off feature film lightyear. - Due to advances in graphical technology by the time of toy story 4s production, buzzs body is shown to be covered in minuscule scratches and dents in the present day, likely the result of many years of being played with, in addition to his frequent adventures. The lightyear name tag on his chest, revealed to be a sticker, has also begun to peel off; the same thing occurs with the rest. It can also be seen that his plastic is scratched up and slowly wearing out. This shows the viewers that he is getting old. And throughout the franchise, the shades of buzzs green and purple colors have slightly altered.
- buzz was once referenced in the parks and recreation episode two funerals, where bobby newport mistook april ludgates sarcastic identification as buzz aldrin (where buzz was actually named after) as being this buzz.
- coincidentally, aprils actress
[aubrey plaza](/wiki/aubrey_plaza)has also played as[claire wheeler](/wiki/claire_wheeler)in the[monsters inc. Franchise](/wiki/monsters,_inc._(franchise)), a fellow pixar project. - Ironically enough, that shows leading star
[amy poehler](/wiki/amy_poehler)would later go on to play as[joy](/wiki/joy)in the[inside out franchise](/wiki/inside_out_(franchise)), another pixar project. Even more ironic, parks and recreation itself originally ended in the same year as when the first[inside out](/wiki/inside_out)film was released.

| Legacy: PJ Dean decides to follow in brothers footsteps and commits to Georgia |

By jay spivey
for the clemmons courier
it came down to the final seconds, but pj dean of west forsyth ultimately made the decision to commit to play football at georgia.
dean, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound offensive and defensive lineman, who was listed as a four-star recruit by 247sports.Com, sat down monday afternoon at the anderson performing arts center and announced that he had chosen georgia over south carolina. Ohio state was also in his top three schools.
dean will be following in the footsteps of his half-brother, jared wilson, who played at west forsyth and georgia, and was just drafted by the new england patriots in the third round of the nfl draft.
“it was really just a battle to the end, to be honest,” said dean, who is a rising senior for the titans. “It came down to like the last hour. Before i got there i didn’t even know to be honest. I kind of made my decision when i stepped on, like when i sat down. I just started speaking, and that’s kind of when i made my decision.”
according to 247sports.Com, dean ranks as the no. 7 defensive lineman in the country in the 2026 class, and according to on3, he’s ranked the no. 5 defensive lineman nationally and the no. 78 recruit overall.
“both schools were doing what they had to do and they were just doing more than anything,” dean said. “I just had to do what i felt was best for me.”
he added that before the announcement, he was leaning toward georgia but the decision wasn’t made until he said it. Dean said that he informed all three schools of his decision once he announced it on monday.
“i was still contemplating, ‘georgia and south carolina. Either one.’ I still didn’t know until i really said, ‘alright, i’m going to go to georgia.’”
it became a wrestling match in his head as to which sec school to choose.
“it’s kind of just something that i had to do,” he said.
coach kevin wallace of west forsyth was there monday for dean’s announcement.
“he didn’t tell me the last two weeks exactly who he wanted,” wallace said. “But i knew he flipped back and forth. It was a tough decision. I know there was a lot of pressure put on him. But he told me 10 minutes before he announced that he finally knew what he was going to do.”
wallace had one piece of advice for dean.
“they (college coaches) reach out, but nothing,” wallace said. “To me, it’s just doing what’s best for the kid. If he’s got questions on something i can help or can answer, i think in this age people get too distracted on money and nil and all that stuff. That’s all i tried to tell him throughout the process was, ‘you’re going to make money, so take that out of it. Figure out what place you see yourself at.
“my biggest advice was, ‘when you wake up in the morning, when your head’s the clearest, where do you see yourself at?’ And i told him from the get-go, months ago, i said, ‘you’re going to know.”
even though both georgia and south carolina play in the sec, dean still had to weigh his options.
“i just had to think about the competition,” dean said. “Just the whole aspect of georgia. Who wouldn’t want to play for georgia and coach kirby smart, who is a defensive coach? You’ve got to think about things like that — the history there. You just really can’t beat it.”
even with the talent dean has, choosing a college has a wait-and-see, performative aspect to it.
“(georgia) viewed me as a priority,” he said. “With a place like that, as a priority, who wouldn’t want to go?”
needless to say, dean reached out to wilson, who played offensive line at georgia, for advice.
“he was the one who really talked to me about each school,” dean said. “He wasn’t really biased or nothing like that, but he was like, ‘the competition at georgia, it’s the best of the best.’ Like (georgia defensive-line) coach (tray) scott and things like that.
“i’m going to be a better football player. I’m going to get what i want once i go there.”
dean, because of wilson, had already established a relationship with the coaching staff at georgia.
“it didn’t really help out a lot because i wasn’t really talking to them like that,” dean said. “I was talking to them, but they weren’t really recruiting me (while he was with wilson), so i was just cool with them. I was just jared’s little brother. It took off once they offered me.”
wallace noticed the bond that dean and the coaching staff at georgia had established.
“both (georgia and south carolina) have recruited him well,” wallace said. “He has a longer relationship with the guys in georgia because of jared and coach smart and (offensive-line) coach (stacy) searels.”
that’s not to say the bulldogs had an advantage over the gamecocks before dean made the announcement on monday to commit to the bulldogs.
“i know south carolina’s recruited him from day one. They recruited him hard from day one.” Wallace said. “I mean all of them were great to handle. He was really torn. I was basically those two, and he was literally torn down to the last second essentially. I think he just felt better. It’s his decision, so i haven’t fully sat down with him.”
the bond with dean and the coaching staff at georgia intensified when dean took his visit to athens, ga. From june 6 through 8.
“it was amazing,” he said. “It was much more in-depth. I knew georgia from the back of my hand because my brother’s been there a lot. So, i kind of already knew most of the things. But just to be with the players and stuff like that and seeing stuff from their standpoint.”
another issue was whether dean was going to play offensive or defensive line in college
one thing dean wants to do is maintain his weight this season for the titans. Last season, he dropped as low as 240 pounds.
“honestly, when i lost all of this weight, when i got down to 260, i didn’t feel like that was good enough to play on the defensive side of the ball,” dean said. “And they was like, ‘we need some players.’ It was like hey, they’ve seen my film, they’ve seen my camp. They see i can do it.”
as a freshman, dean said he weighed 320 pounds. But he steadily dropped weight since then. He’s now at 255 and wants to play this season for west forsyth at 270.
“he’s, genetically, very, very gifted,” wallace said. “So, i think that’s giving him the opportunities. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gets into college and they put weight on him. I think his frame could do. I think that’s what gave him the versatility.”
another issue with modern college athletics is nil money. Dean had some help with that from a familiar face.
“my mom won’t let me know my nil offers, so this decision is purely off of me going to a school,” dean said. “So, i did not know what any school has offered me so far, money-wise.
“my (mom) went through it with my older brother, and my older brother is a more civilized version of me.”
much of the conversation about nil was kept hush-hush with the coaching staff at west forsyth.
“i know (his mom) didn’t tell him the exact numbers,” wallace said. “She gave him hints on stuff that — ballparks and stuff like that. I think at the end of it he kind of knew a little of it. I knew she handled a lot of it, which is good because that doesn’t need to be a deciding factor for him.”
according to ncsasports.Org, dean can sign his letter of intent to play at georgia from dec. 4 through 6.
“it wears on anybody, especially when it goes on for three years,” wallace said of the recruiting process. “So, it’ll be good. He won’t have the pressure of coaches coming in and worrying about other stuff. And hopefully he can just sit back, play well, enjoy his senior year, and hopefully get some accolades and do some great things for us and have a great senior season.”
that senior season is slated to kick off aug. 22 when west forsyth travels to play at davie county in a nonconference game. Dean plans to report to athens in early january as an early enrollee.
“with the weight lifted off me i can just focus on just the team at west my senior year,” dean said. “Really just have the most fun possible with my last high school season.” |

| Eylsia Releases Debut Country Single Pull Me to the Light After Remarkable Journ |
| Posted on Tuesday, July 01 @ 00:00:51 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
Eylsia, a remarkable filipina singer-songwriter, is set to make waves in the music industry with her debut country single, “pull me to the light.” Her inspiring journey—marked by resilience and transformation—demonstrates how life’s hardships can become powerful catalysts for reinvention.
“at ten, i was competing in international tennis tournaments, including wimbledon and the us open,” says eylsia. “But after a serious injury, i had to let go of that dream.” Pivoting from sports, she transitioned into the corporate world and later became a senior vice president at deco disc, a record company that partnered with handleman, the largest audio-visual distributor in the u.S. At the time.
“the company’s cd format featured legendary artists like stevie wonder, paul mccartney, kenny rogers, and luciano pavarotti,” eylsia notes. “It was an incredible time to be learning about the music industry from the business side.”
despite becoming one of the youngest college presidents in the country, her love for music never faded. “I had success as an executive, but deep down, music was always calling me,” she says. That calling grew stronger after she suffered a severe reaction to the covid-19 vaccine, which left her with permanent vocal damage. “It made me ask, ‘why is medicine always trying to make you normal?’”
rather than retreat, eylsia explored experimental voice restoration techniques. “I began to imagine a future where i could have a ‘bionic voice’ – something that would help me express my musical compositions,” she explains.
with the support of a specialized medical team and groundbreaking technology, eylsia experienced a vocal recovery that exceeded her expectations. “Honestly, if i had this voice when i was a kid, i never would have done anything else,” she shares.
her debut country single, “pull me to the light,” is already resonating with early listeners. “It sounds like an instant classic,” says lisa pamintuan, president of nicolas of palm beach . “There’s emotional depth in eylsia’s voice that connects with people immediately.” The track is available on streaming platforms and can be requested on smart assistants like alexa—though eylsia jokes, “it still can’t pronounce my name correctly!”
she describes the transformation as nothing short of miraculous: “it’s like i have a bionic voice. I can do anything i want with it. Maybe this is what elon musk wants to give people through neuralink,” she laughs. “I hope so, because this feels like a miracle.”
while fans and critics alike praise her vocals, eylsia remains reflective: “people say i’ll win awards for singing, but i remind them—this isn’t a voice i was born with. It’s the result of science, ambition, and maybe a little bit of god’s hand.”
“pull me to the light” is more than just a debut—it’s a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the possibilities that emerge when innovation and artistry meet. I want this song to give people hope,” eylsia says. “We all go through dark times, but there’s always a path forward—even if it looks different than we imagined.” |

| Ask Mike: Revenue Sharing Begins, Athletic Dept. Exits & Why Cal & Nolan Are Clo |
| Posted on Tuesday, July 01 @ 00:00:51 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
Q. Our first question is from cajunhog who wants to know: do you think we will go back to omaha in 2026? If so why? We’re losing a lot of really good players off maybe the most talented team dvh has had. A. Getting back to omaha is a realistic goal. It doesn’t always happen but i will say that while dvh lost some good players, he’s returning a solid core of that team. Pending the draft he might lose more than he expects or he might get some players back that he expected to lose. Keep an eye on centerfielder justin thomas jr. He could go or stay. Charles davalan will probably go but maybe not. The only infielder that they know will go is shortstop wehiwa aloy. Reese robinett will likely return at 1st. Cam kozeal is back at 2nd. Bret iredale is likely gone at 3rd but nolan souza returns from injury. He played 2nd before his injury but could move somewhere else or maybe be a d.H. Kuhio aloy is back. He was the dh. Maybe he plays a position next season. And of course catcher ryder helfrick is back. He will be one of the top players in the country next season. On the mound, gabe gaeckle returns along with cole gibler and carson wiggins. That could be your weekend rotation next season. Also van horn is off to a great start in the portal. Ball state transfer dylan grego is an outstanding defensive shortstop who bats both ways, hitting around .400 right or left. Lefthanded pitcher ethan mcelvain is transferring in from vanderbilt and ou pitcher jackson kircher comes in after an impressive freshman season in norman. He’s an arkansas player out of little rock christian academy with a fastball that can reach 97 mph. When all of this is over i believe that arkansas will again have one of the top rosters in college baseball. Q. Skeptic *on* the*hill asks: how come van horn can have all these golden spikes winners but can’t win the college world series? If you can have the best player you should have the best team. A. Kind of a strange statement. I guess you’re implying that if you can land the best player in the country you should also be able to recruit the best overall team. That’s obviously not true. Of the 10 golden spikes winners over the last decade only one has been on the national championship team. In 2023 lsu’s dylan crews won it and the tigers were the national champions. However while lsu is number two all time in college world series titles with eight, the tigers only have two golden spikes winners. Arkansas has no college world series titles but three golden spikes winners. The two achievements don’t go hand in hand. Q. Eddylynn says: you said last week that revenue sharing will help arkansas baseball but hurt lsu. I got the impression that courtney disagrees. Could y’all explain that in more detail? A. Under the new arrangement of playing players directly out of an athletic department’s budget nil money is supposed to be greatly reduced in all sports. Lsu is well known for big moneys nil deals with its player. Courtney thinks that schools will be able to get around that. If they can’t some will cheat. Based on my reading of the house vs the ncaa settlement i think baseball, which gets an extra 23 scholarships starting in the coming academic year, will largely be a sport where players sign because of the coaches, the history of the program, facilities or the school itself. The traditional non money reasons for why a kid will sign, returns. Q jhogg asks: what are your expectations for this year’s football team? With the big roster turn around every season because of the transfer portal you never know what to expect. A. I don’t like to make predictions. Too many things can happen, good or bad, that changes things when you go from where a team stands on paper in the summer to how the season actually plays out. I like the fact that taylen green is coming back for his second season under bobby petrino. Petrino has said that green has a much better understanding of the offense than in year one under him. I like the changes in the offensive line. I think they’ve got good options at running back and wide receiver. The d-line is a question mark but arkansas should be strong at linebacker. I’m not sure about the secondary but overall i think this will be a better team than last season. The issue is, a road schedule loaded with ole miss, tennessee, lsu and texas. Also the non conference schedule is much tougher with notre dame and a road game against memphis . Q. Onparrhog says: this weekend i heard a rumor that they’re laying off staffers at the broyles center to meet the salary cap for revenue sharing. Are things that bad right now? Q. Revenue sharing is new and arkansas is going to have to make cuts in order to provide the maximum amount of revenue sharing money for athletes. The word is, they are going to trim 10% from their budget by cutting a number administrative staff positions. I have confirmed that one of the staffers being laid off is kevin trainor, a 30 year employee of the university. Kevin is well known to athletic boosters and contributors to the razorback foundation. He’s extremely well thought of on the academic side of the university. The sec uses him to host the annual media days week in july of each year. He’s the current president of the college sports communicators board of directors. Imo hunter yurachek miscalculated in making trainor a part of these staff cuts. A lot of hogs fans i know and media members as well think that he is the most valuable member of the entire athletic department administrative staff. Q. Bphi11ips says: based on espn’s fpi, arkansas would be predicted second in the big 12, fourth in the acc, and sixth in the b1g. They would be twelfth in the sec. Arkansas fans should keep this in mind when judging pittman and hy. This is what they have to deal with every year. Arkansas is a solid football program in a great league. A. This is spot on. This particular razorback fan is one of the longest contributors to the football forum on hogville. His posts are well thought out. He avoids a lot of the negative attack mentality you find on social media these days. A lot of fans think an athletic department can just snap its fingers and come up with millions of dollars to hire a new head coach and his staff while paying off the old coach with more millions. There is not an easy solution to the challenge of trying to get arkansas football into the upper part of the sec. Q. Hogwild says: $10,279,300, that’s what missouri spent this month on nil, distributing an influx of cash to athletes before the landmark house v. Ncaa settlement takes effect july 1 and imposes a de facto salary cap. A. This is happening everywhere. To me it’s a sign that coaches realize that the days of huge nil payments to players are coming to an end. They want to cash in while they can. The good news is that they accept the idea that big changes are coming. Q. Hawgredneck says: pittman seems to be losing the top in-state players but getting good players from other states. Does it really matter if you lose an arkansas 4-star kid and get 4-star from georgia? A. No. I could spend all day naming players that became razorbacks from out of state. If they come here, adopt the culture, and help the hogs win, fans love them. Many end up staying here after their playing days are over. Arkansas is a very welcoming place. Q. Wvhogfan wants to know: did you ever get to enjoy a jennings osborne tailgate feast before a game in lr? A. Some of the people i worked with mentioned going over to his tailgate after we finished our game day show on the golf course next to wms. I never did. I was always in a hurry to get to the press box. The athletic department provided food there too but apparently it was nowhere near as good as what they got from osborne’s tailgate. Courtney looked him up and the internet has a compete story about this longtime hog fan who passed away several years ago. Football tailgating was only part of what osborne did. He was famous for his christmas decorations in little rock and some of his creations even ended up at disneyworld. Q. Razorboo asks: now that the 24-25 season is over what was your razorback sports best surprise and greatest disappointment and what is one hope for the 25-26 year? A. The biggest surprise was getting back to omaha. No matter how good a team is it’s tough to get through the regionals and super regionals. The biggest disappointment was softball not getting to oklahoma city. They were really good. Their two best pitchers coming down with food poising right before the super regionals was really bad luck. The one hope i have for this coming year? I really hope this football team surprises people. Q. T. L. Slaten says: i don’t remember other arkansas basketball coaches reaching out to nolan the way cal has. Not even mike anderson: is there some reason why they are such good friends? A. Cal went up against up against nolan four times as a head coach, twice at umass where won both of those games. He’s always said that it was one of his top moments as a coach because he admired nolan, his recruiting, his coaching and his style of play. Two other times, when cal was at memphis, arkansas won. So the two coaches are 2-2 against each other. But what’s impressive to me is that cal understands the importance of tying nolan’s success at arkansas to his own program. That’s smart. He wants his players to understand the history of arkansas basketball. By all accounts, every time nolan has been around cal’s players they came away super impressed with what he had to say. Q. Popular porkster says: you said last week there was no curse on arkansas athletics. Do you apply that to yourself? Why don’t you own up to your own curse on the golf course? A. It’s true. Last week i was about to set a personal 9 hole record of 2 over par at pvac. All i had to do was par numbers 8 and 9. I hit a great drive on 8 and was on the green in two. My putt ended up a foot and a half from the hole but as i walked toward the ball, it started to rain. I looked around and there were a few clouds but the sky was basically blue. Looking up i saw a dark cloud above me, the source of this unexpected rainfall. I stood there thinking maybe that the rain would stop but it continued. I finally putted but i was so distracted i missed it for a bogey. I still had number 9 to set a new record of three over. I hit another nice drive followed by a 7 iron to the green. This time i putted to within a foot. It was almost a tap in. I walked up to finish the 9 holes and the rain intensified. I was thinking, i will wait until the rain dies down but there was a guy behind me waiting to hit and he was getting soaked. So i had no choice but to putt. My hands were wet. The grip on my putter was wet. I started to go back to the cart and dry them off with a towel but i didn’t want to hold up the guy behind me so i putted and the ball took a sharp left turn and rolled by the cup. In all the confusion i failed to read the break around the cup. Was i cursed? No, i’m just a dope. I was my fault. For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to knwa fox24. |

| Beijings Long Arm Reaches Australian Homes, But Migrant Parents Arent Staying Si |
| Posted on Tuesday, July 01 @ 00:00:51 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
Australian migrant parents are pushing back against a new “aggressive form of foreign interference” aimed at suppressing one of the last vestiges of ancient morality, freedom, and tradition.
their comments come soon after the leaders of the g7 released a statement against countries engaging in transnational repression designed to “intimidate, harass, harm or coerce individuals or communities outside their borders.” That statement comes after revelations of leaked details from a 2022 leadership meeting involving chinese communist party (ccp) leader xi jinping, who ordered the massive party mechanism to reboot its overseas efforts to take down the spiritual practice falun gong. Xi’s orders also targeted entities started by falun gong practitioners, like shen yun and the epoch times, which have been integral in shining a global spotlight on the ccp’s persecution against the practice in china.
what has ensured has been a sprawling series of seemingly isolated incidents including bomb threats, lawfare, paid protests, and disinformation across the western world. Mother disputes ccp-linked narrative one of those targets, shen yun performing arts, has been subjected to an ongoing investigative series (nine articles so far) by the new york times portraying the group as deliberately abusing labour laws—a claim vehemently denied .
local sydney resident li ying shared a different perspective, saying her three children had been awarded full scholarships under shen yun-linked colleges, which allows them to study without needing to consider food and accommodation costs.
related stories
“reading thousands of books is not as good as travelling thousands of miles,” she told the epoch times’ sister media, ntd tv.
“they have the opportunity to go on tour with the shen yun performing arts company, which is a very rare experience in their lives,” noting as well that her family saved about $185,000 each year.
shen yun was founded in 2006 with the core mission to revive traditional chinese culture—much of which was systematically destroyed under communism—while also raising awareness about the persecution falun gong faces in communist china. A global media takedown campaign the new york times (nyt) campaign has been underway since august 2024 and features allegations from former members of the group.
yet the newspaper has failed to provide evidence to back those claims—besides their testimony—and has yet to disclose potential conflicts of interest or ties to the ccp.
further, during shen yun’s tour down under earlier this year, the sydney morning herald and new zealand herald ran their own stories leveraging the new york times article.
shen yun global performing arts’ 13th performance at the capitol theater in sydney, australia, on march 9, 2025. Lu ming/the epoch times
on feb. 25, the sydney morning herald’s story, “their posters are everywhere, but behind shen yun lies a darker story,” was published on their front page just one day before shen yun’s opening night in sydney.
during shen yun’s tour in auckland, the new zealand herald even went further, publishing a story featuring an interview with an alleged former performer.
shen yun has strongly denied the allegations outlined in the nyt saying it “grossly distorts” the practices and culture of the organisation. “The times weaves together imprecise terms and conflated examples across categories of child labor, ‘young’ performers, and adult staff in an apparent attempt to bolster its overall narrative about alleged child labor law violations.
“for example, the primary evidence of a purportedly long work day is taken from the statement of an adult, although this is not made clear to the reader.”

‘the kids are so happy’
tracy li, a sydney business owner whose two children are professional musicians working full-time for shen yun, only had praise for what the organisation offered, pointing to the hands-on experience it offered students.
“ordinary schools don’t have this opportunity—letting students participate in a [performing] world tour and see things,” she told ntd tv.
“the kids are so happy. They can see a lot of things from different countries and learn a lot. I am happy for them.”
li’s children received scholarships and spent 12 years at shen yun’s affiliated fei tian academy, from high school through to post-graduate school.
the business owner noted that it was not easy to get admitted to the academy.
“there are very strict exams to get in. The school will only accept you if they think you can be trained,” she said.

a school that values morals and etiquette
peter wu, a media professional in sydney, also said his daughter had changed for the better after entering her rebellious teenage years.
“when she was 14, she entered a rebellious period. I almost felt that i couldn’t control her,” wu told ntd tv.
“i was very surprised and deeply touched. It was not because she became a dancer, nor because her stunning performance on stage won the audience’s warm applause, but because i found that my daughter had changed,” he said.
“on the stage, she was completely a graceful, pretty, and gentle girl. So this surprised me.”
wu’s daughter was admitted to the academy when she was 14 after passing an examination. Over the past 10 years, she has completed high school, college and post-graduate studies, and is currently a dancer.

tracy li said the academy’s educational philosophy was rooted in traditional culture, and emphasised the moral development of its students.
“because this school places great emphasis on being a good person and valuing morality, they teach them to think of others and be a good person,” she said.
my son ended his phone addiction: li echoing the sentiment, li ying said her three children also became more polite, mature, sensible, and grateful after attending the academy.
“my eldest daughter was in her second year of college, and she turned 18 the year after she was admitted. I asked her what kind of adult gift she wanted. She said, ‘mom, i’m grown up. I have everything here, i don’t need it,’” she said.
“then she sent me a long message, all in chinese. She thanked me for raising and educating her, and encouraged her to keep working hard professionally so that she could be admitted to fei tian college.”
in addition, li ying stated that her son had got rid of his addiction to internet use and mobiles. Ccp’s transnational repression felt worldwide just two days before xi’s official visit to the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur earlier this year, authorities ordered the arrest of nearly 80 falun gong practitioners .
the practitioners were gathering at a private venue to study falun gong texts when two dozen police officers arrived, forcibly removing and transporting them to police vehicles.
among those arrested was a woman over 80 years old and a 10-year-old child. In addition, 47 were citizens, and the remaining 29 people were asylum seekers from china.
while the malaysian citizens were released hours after xi departed kuala lumpur, the chinese nationals were only freed two weeks later.

“we call on the chinese communist party to end its nearly 26-year campaign to eradicate falun gong and to cease its attempts to pressure other governments to repress the practice of falun gong,” a spokesperson from the u.S. State department told the epoch times.
meanwhile, the g7 called on democratic allies and institutions to stand up to the threat of transnational repression. “We recognise the important role played by all partners, including civil society, academia and the private sector, in countering this threat.”

| Garrett Nussmeier Makes Major Change for 2025 as Unfinished Business Fuels LSU Q |
| Posted on Tuesday, July 01 @ 00:00:51 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
The texas longhorns quarterback, arch manning, has found his role model. And that’s none other than the lsu tigers quarterback garrett nussmeier. “It’s cool having a guy like nuss to look up to. He kind of had the same situation as me, just sitting for a few years, then going to play, and he played well. I’ve watched a lot of his film. He’s a good player, so it’s fun to look up to him.” While manning must view nussmeier’s tape as his motivation, the tigers quarterback is not quite happy with his past feat.
maybe, that’s the answer for all those who questioned nussmeier making a comeback, extending his college football stay for yet another season. After all, he had once spoken highly of his pro-league dreams. “Since a young kid, all i have ever wanted was to grow up and play in the nfl.” However, he has some ‘unfinished business’ and until and unless he takes care of it, he won’t get that mental peace.
on the june 30th episode of the lsu tigers on nola.Com, the host inquisitively asked what made him hit the u-turn even after knowing that he would have made a fairly high draft pick in the 2025 nfl draft. Without any touch of remorse, nussmeier came up with an optimistic reply. “There was obviously a lot of prayer and a lot of thoughts with that. As i speak about all the time, my faith plays a huge role in my decision and things like that, and so you know, i feel like coming back, i just feel like i had unfinished business…” this regret gave rise to a bigger purpose for nussmeier.
