| Boulder Adventures Beyond the Tourist Spots |
| Posted on Wednesday, November 26 @ 00:01:01 PST (5 reads) | |
|
Have you heard about the fledgling travel trend called elsewhereism, which is all about skipping the classic tourist spots and seeking out the unexpected?
if you haven’t then we heartily suggest you check out this recent campaign piece from travel engine skyscanner that featured boulder as one of the cities containing what the company call “hidden gems”. It’s really no surprise boulder has made the cut given the town blends jaw-dropping scenery, local charm, and a festive holiday spirit that’s hard to beat.
so if you’re heading to boulder over the holiday season (or now have the inspiration to go check it out), we’ve put together a few boulder traditions you won’t want to miss in the months ahead.
flip the switch on holiday cheer
start your day at 11am with the downtown boulder cookie crawl – sip, snack, and shop your way through the festive streets. Then, at 5pm, watch the magic happen as the switch flips and the pearl street mall is bathed in twinkling lights.
stick around for performances by the boulder ballet and boulder chorale, and don’t miss a free photo op with santa and mrs. Claus at the visitor center, running until 7pm.
rock out (or sing along) at cu’s holiday festival
for over 40 years, macky auditorium has been the place to be for boulder’s holiday music lovers. Cu presents brings together the college of music’s choirs, orchestras, ensembles, and soloists for a festive concert that fills the historic, decked-out auditorium with cheer. Think holiday classics, dazzling performances, and just the right amount of seasonal sparkle to put you in the mood for cocoa and snow-dusted rooftops.
catch the glow at boulder’s lights of december parade
downtown boulder lights up (literally) for the lights of december parade! Watch marching bands strut their stuff and all the beautifully designed christmas floats roll by. Stick around for the grand finale when santa claus himself makes a jolly appearance, spreading cheer and probably judging your hot cocoa game.
look up at the boulder star
boulder’s iconic holiday star has been lighting up flagstaff mountain every year since 1947. Yep, over 70 years of twinkling magic! With 365 energy-saving led bulbs, it’s basically boulder’s giant nightlight, visible from just about anywhere in town.
the boulder chamber keeps the tradition going and even sells holiday cards featuring the star, painted by local artists. So, if you’re in town this season, don’t forget to lift your eyes, you won’t want to miss it!
get your festive fix at winterfest
boulder’s colorado chautauqua turns into a winter wonderland for winterfest. Hop on a horse-drawn carriage, swing by santa’s cozy cottage, join a caroling hike, or browse the holiday market. There’s cookie decorating, live music, and a tree lighting too—basically all the festive vibes you could want at the foot of the flatirons.
celebrate chanukah on pearl
head to the 1300 block of pearl street mall for the boulder community menorah lighting, hosted by the jewish community center and boulder county center for judaism. This all-ages, outdoor tradition has locals gathering for music, latkes, jelly donuts, hot chocolate, and chanukah goodies.
shop ‘til you drop
all holiday long
pearl street mall, with its brick-paved streets and twinkling lights, is the ultimate spot to tick off your gift list. Bonus points for hot chocolate pit stops and street performers showing off their skills (and hoping for a little holiday cash). Don’t stress about parking as weekends downtown are free!
over at twenty ninth street, you’ll find even more shops with jaw-dropping views of the flatirons, while boulder’s artisan markets are perfect for snagging unique, locally made gifts. If you’re feeling competitive, join the downtown dash where you shop local, collect stamps, and win prizes while you’re at it.
whether you’re strolling beneath the boulder star, humming along at a holiday concert, or sipping cocoa as the city glows around you, boulder offers a festive season that feels both cozy and full of discovery. It’s a place where familiar traditions meet fresh surprises—exactly the kind of “elsewhereism” magic that turns a simple getaway into a holiday you’ll remember long after the lights come down. |

Cowboys sweep island tour
published 7:05 pm tuesday, november 25, 2025
garcia leads mcneese to classic crown
it took bill armstrong and this group of cowboys exactly seven games to enter their names into the mcneese history books.
tuesday night, these cowboys reached a milestone even will wade never hit.
armstrong and his crew became the first mcneese team ever to win a tournament during the regular season. And they did it just off the beat in paradise.
the cowboys (6-1) grinded out a 72-62 victory over middle tennessee state to capture the cayman islands classic, going 3-0 against a trio of mid-majors over the last three days.
“we are bringing a trophy back to lake charles,” said armstrong. “We are fired up.”
the victory was the cowboys’ fifth in a row. Middle tennessee fell to 5-3, but it wasn’t easy.
mcneese didn’t lead until javohn garcia hit a runner with 6:48 remaining to give the cowboys a 55-53 lead. They never looked back from there.
the cowboys outscored mtsu 22-9 over the final 8:34 with garcia being the difference. The reigning southland conference player of the year scored a season-high 26 points, 20 coming in the second half, to will the cowboys to victory.
garcia hit eight of his 11 shots from the floor, including 2 of 3 from behind the arc, and all eight of his free throws. He finished the tournament with 59 points to lead mcneese.
“he showed who he is and why he’s the player of the year,” armstrong said of his senior guard. “He is a winner. He made every big play.”
the cowboys hit 23 of their 25 free throws, ensuring they would not give up the lead.
this was a far cry from all their other games in george town, grand cayman. In the two previous wins, mcneese used 32 steals to score 54 points, forcing 44 turnovers while being outrebounded.
“we found a way to win,” said armstrong. “If you want to win a championship, you have to go take it.”
the cowboys entered the week as one of the worst rebounding teams in all of college basketball. Not tuesday.
mcneese outrebounded the blue raiders 38-31 and outscored them on second-chance points 25-7. That made up for getting just 14 points on 11 turnovers and allowing mtsu to hit 10 of 22 3-pointers.
“there was a sense of urgency,” said armstrong. “It shows what we are capable of doing.”
carl cherenfant had 10 rebounds to go with his seven points. The only cowboy to join garcia in double figures was tyshawn archie, who finished with 15.
“carl came up with some big rebounds and big plays,” said armstrong. “He played 29 minutes. I don’t think he played 29 minutes the first two games here.”
dj richards added seven points as the cowboys received contributions from many players. Kamari lands led the blue raiders with 17 points, 12 in the first half.
playing their worst half of the season, the cowboys opened the game unable to get their offense going. That led to an inability to jump into their press and force turnovers.
they also allowed middle tennessee too many open looks, and the blue raiders took advantage.
hitting on six of their 12 3-point tries, mtsu grabbed an early lead and kept building. Lands scored a quick six points for a 9-2 blue raider lead.
archie kept mcneese in the game with nine first-half points, and his 3-pointer with 6:22 left before the break cut the blue raiders’ lead to 25-21.
sean smith hit two buckets, and the lead grew back to 10, 34-24. Two free throws each from garcia and richards cut the margin to 34-28 at the break.
the cowboys will begin defense of their back-to-back southland conference titles monday night when they travel to san antonio for a 6:30 tip against incarnate word in the league opener.
mcneese has won 34 of 36 regular-season conference games the last two years and is 38-2, including the postseason tournament. |

Sooners remain at no. 8 in the latest college football playoff rankings
oklahoma remains in a good position to make the college football playoff.
the sooners stayed put in the latest college football playoff rankings, remaining at no. 8. The cfp committee kept the sooners at eight following their 17-6 win against missouri over the weekend.
the rankings remain largely the same from last week, particularly at the top. The sooners (9-2, 5-2 sec) remain behind no. 7 ole miss, who was jumped by oregon after the ducks beat usc. They remain ahead of no. 9 notre dame, who beat syracuse 70-7.
the sooners’ no. 8 ranking keeps them in a win-and-in scenario for the playoff heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
the sooners would host no. 9 notre dame for a first-round playoff game on the weekend of dec. 19-20 if the playoff began today. However, there remain scenarios where the sooners are left out of the top eight and have to travel for the first round.
notre dame and alabama remain the teams to watch in that regard, particularly if the crimson tide win the sec championship. The crimson tide will play in the conference title game if they beat auburn this weekend.
but all that matters for the sooners is taking care of business. They host lsu at 2:30 p.M. Saturday (abc) to conclude the regular season.

| Ohio State remains No. 1 in College Football Playoff rankings | What this means |
| Posted on Wednesday, November 26 @ 00:01:01 PST (5 reads) | |
|
|
This has become mundane for ohio state, and if youre an osu fan you hope it continues this way.
as expected, the buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 big ten) remained no. 1 in the college football playoff rankings, which were released tuesday evening.
ohio state is coming off of a 42-9 win against visiting rutgers, and the buckeyes will travel to no. 15 michigan (9-2, 7-1) on saturday (12 p.M. Et; fox). The defending national champions have lost four consecutive games to the wolverines, but enter this weeks contest as 9.5-point favorites in ann arbor.
there were no surprises atop the cfp rankings this week. Indiana remained no. 2, texas a&m held steady at no. 3, as did georgia at no. 4.
college football playoff rankings – nov. 25, 2025:
- ohio state (11-0)
- indiana (11-0)
- texas a&m (11-0)
- georgia (10-1)
- texas tech (10-1)
- oregon (10-1)
- ole miss (10-1)
- oklahoma (9-2)
- notre dame (9-2)
- alabama (9-2)
- byu (10-1)
- miami (9-2)
- utah (9-2)
- vanderbilt (9-2)
- michigan (9-2)
- texas (8-3)
- usc (8-3)
- virginia (9-2)
- tennessee (8-3)
- arizona state (8-3)
- smu (8-3)
- pittsburgh (8-3)
- georgia tech (9-2)
- tulane (9-2)
- arizona (8-3)
analysis
there is not much analysis needed when it comes to ohio states path in the cfp. Theyve already clinched a spot in the field (not officially, but yeah), so now the only question is whether they will beat michigan for the first time since 2019, win their first big ten championship since 2020 and enter this years cfp with the no. 1 overall seed.
so, there is not much drama associated with ohio state when it comes to the college football playoff discussion, which is ideal for buckeye fans.
the race to make the cfp field at the back end is fascinating, though.
there will likely be two teams that do not really deserve to be in the 12-team field -- those being the acc champion and the highest-ranked group of 5 squad. However, does anyone have a big problem with that? I dont. If youre a power 4 team and youre not even in the top-10 of the final rankings, you do not deserve to play for a national title. Unless you won your conference.
as for the highest-ranked group of 5 team -- which of now is no. 24 tulane -- im glad they have their own version of a national championship. Just making the cfp field equates to a national title for those schools. I maintain that the group of 5 should have its own playoffs and national champion, but we have not crossed that bridge yet.
again, for ohio state, nothing has changed. If they are able to take care of business the next two weeks, it will be interesting to see who the no. 8 and no. 9 seeds are -- as the buckeyes would play the winner of that game if they capture the no. 1 seed -- but all osu cares about right now is beating michigan. (If you happen to care, the current 8-9 seeds are oklahoma and notre dame.)
the final college football playoff rankings/seedings will come out on sunday, dec. 7. Keep it locked to bucknuts for full coverage of all things ohio state football. |

| Brett Young Got in the Best Shape of His Life at 44 With One Simple Habit Change |
| Posted on Wednesday, November 26 @ 00:01:01 PST (10 reads) | |
|
|
Country music star brett young is proving age is just a number when it comes to getting in peak physical condition.
at 44, the musician has transformed his body and mindset by making one simple change that sparked a complete lifestyle overhaul.
his secret? Eliminating alcohol and embracing heavy lifting—a combination that’s given him more energy, stamina, and longevity than he had in his 30s.
with his new album 2.0 dropping soon, young’s personal transformation mirrors his artistic evolution perfectly.
from college athlete to road warrior dad
young wasn’t always struggling with fitness. He played baseball at ole miss during college and maintained an active lifestyle for years.
but fatherhood and a demanding touring schedule slowly pushed exercise to the bottom of his priority list. With two young daughters and constant travel, workouts became sporadic at best.
it wasn’t until a couple of years ago when we started having kids that, for the first time in my life, [my] focus shifted and schedules got in the way, and i just kind of let [health] become an afterthought.
like many parents juggling career demands, young found himself making excuses. Late nights performing, traveling between cities, and family obligations created what seemed like an impossible situation for maintaining consistent fitness habits.
the turning point: choosing longevity over lifestyle
everything changed at the beginning of last year when young made a decisive choice: cut alcohol completely from his routine.
at the beginning of last year, i made a decision to cut alcohol out of my diet and routine. And my biggest motivator for that was like longevity for children and being around for my family.
that single decision became a catalyst for much bigger changes. Removing alcohol didn’t just eliminate empty calories—it cleared mental fog and created space for better decisions across the board.
young emphasizes that ditching drinks was merely the starting point, not the entire solution. Once that habit disappeared, he naturally gravitated toward cleaning up his diet and returning to structured exercise.
discovering heavy lifting as anti-aging medicine
after committing to sobriety, young dove deep into research about longevity, wellness, and healthy aging. What he discovered surprised him: resistance training with heavy weights sits at the foundation of anti-aging protocols.
i started digging into kind of researching longevity and wellness and anti-aging and finding out that, you know, heavy lifting is at the core of all of that. And i just kind of dove in head first.
true to his personality, young didn’t ease into strength training gradually. He admits to becoming obsessed quickly, throwing himself fully into weight training even while touring.
his planet fitness membership became his “new best friend,” allowing him access to gyms across the country no matter where tour dates took him. This consistency paid dividends almost immediately.
unexpected benefits beyond muscle gain
young noticed physical changes quickly, but the mental and performance improvements caught him off guard.
my stamina and my voice, i started lasting. I could sing for longer periods of time, more days in a row. I mean, the positive effects started kind of pouring over all these areas of my life that i didn’t even know would be touched just by making health and wellness and fitness a primary focus.
his vocal endurance improved dramatically—a crucial benefit for an artist performing multiple shows weekly. Consecutive performance days became easier rather than draining.
the ripple effects extended beyond the stage. Better sleep quality, improved mood, sharper mental focus, and increased overall energy transformed daily life on tour and at home with his family.
road nutrition without the junk food trap
maintaining healthy eating habits while touring presents challenges that derail many artists. Fast food becomes tempting when options seem limited and time is scarce.
young refuses to let travel become an excuse for poor nutrition. Instead of defaulting to drive-throughs, he seeks out simple, whole food options: rice, quality protein, and fiber sources.
i’m kind of like a poor man’s healthy on the road. I do a family-size order of chipotle and just put it in the fridge at the beginning. And i don’t do any of the add-ons, none of the extras. We’re talking about black beans, white rice, and a protein, and guacamole if i’m cheating, and i just fill the fridge with it.
his approach emphasizes consistency over perfection. Batch-preparing simple meals from chipotle might not win gourmet awards, but it keeps nutrition on track without requiring elaborate meal prep or expensive catering.
this practical strategy removes decision fatigue and ensures healthy food stays readily available during hectic tour schedules.
the 2.0 mindset: personal and professional evolution
young’s fourth studio album, 2.0, releases friday, june 20 via nashville harbor records & entertainment. The title carries double meaning.
i think a lot is different in my life, and that’s been really exciting—just to turn a page and start a new chapter of health and wellness. But obviously, i’d be lying if i said the biggest thing happening in my life isn’t that the new album comes out next week. So, to have a new project after not having new music for so long feels really good. And naming the project 2.0 isn’t just a nod to a new version of an old song—it’s also, you know, kind of how i think of myself at this stage of my life.
the album represents both musical reinvention and personal transformation. Young views himself as an upgraded version—physically stronger, mentally sharper, and emotionally more grounded than before.
key takeaways from young’s transformation
young’s journey offers practical lessons for anyone struggling to prioritize fitness amid life’s demands:
- one change creates momentum: eliminating alcohol sparked broader lifestyle improvements
- heavy lifting delivers compound benefits: strength training improved physical performance, vocal stamina, and overall energy
- gym accessibility matters: choosing a nationwide gym chain enabled consistency while traveling
- simple nutrition works: basic whole foods beat elaborate meal plans that aren’t sustainable on the road
- consistency trumps perfection: staying mostly on track produces better results than sporadic perfect efforts
- family motivation lasts: wanting longevity for loved ones provides deeper purpose than aesthetic goals alone
young’s transformation demonstrates that getting in peak shape after 40 doesn’t require perfect circumstances or unlimited time. It requires one committed decision that creates positive momentum across multiple life areas.
his message resonates especially for busy parents and professionals who assume their best fitness years are behind them. By prioritizing strength training, eliminating alcohol, and maintaining nutritional consistency despite travel demands, young proved that 44 can deliver better physical conditioning than 34 ever did. |

Where alabama stands in college football playoff rankings before iron bowl
the college football playoff selection committee revealed its fourth top-25 rankings of the 2025 season on tuesday evening, and alabama stayed put at no. 10 with a 9-2 (6-1 sec) record.
if the playoff happened this weekend, no. 10-seed alabama would face no. 7-seed ole miss in oxford. The winner of the first-round matchup would advance to play no. 2-seed indiana.
the crimson tide is still the third-highest-ranked team with two losses, behind no. 8 oklahoma and no. 9 notre dame. Alabama has three ranked wins over no. 4 georgia, no. 14 vanderbilt and no. 19 tennessee, while one of its two losses this season was to the sooners.
alabama will next travel to unranked auburn to conclude the regular season. A win over the rival tigers would clinch a spot in the sec championship game for the tide. Win both games, and ua will make the 12-team playoff field. But beat auburn and lose in atlanta, and the chances of alabama being in the playoff drop to 59%, according to espn’s playoff predictor.

| Where Vanderbilt Football Ranks in the College Football Playoff Rankings Before |

Where vanderbilt football ranks in the college football playoff rankings before rivalry week
vanderbilt has one last chance to impress the college football playoff committee. Vanderbilt is coming off a 45-17 win over kentucky on senior day to move to 9-2 on the season ahead of rivalry weekend against no. 19 tennessee.
vanderbilt entered last week no. 14 in college football playoff rankings, staying put from the week before while being jumped by no. 13 miami. Getting jumped by miami was certainly a statement from the committee, signifying that vanderbilt would need plenty of help even if it won out.
in the newest edition of the college football playoff rankings, vanderbilt stayed ranked no. 14. The commodores are behind no. 11 byu, no. 12 miami and no. 13 utah, but are ahead of no. 15 michigan, no. 16 texas and no. 17 usc.
vanderbilt did not get much help in terms of needing teams ahead of it to lose. Miami, notre dame, oklahoma, utah and byu all got wins a week ago. With utah struggling against a 5-5 kansas state team and vanderbilt beating up on a 5-5 kentucky team, the commodores still did not jump utah, which does vanderbilt no favors.
going into this week, vanderbilt needs to keep its focus on itself and take care of business in knoxville against tennessee saturday afternoon. The playoff discussion will not matter if vanderbilt is unable to get to 10-2. The issue for vanderbilt is even with a win at tennessee, it will still need a few teams ahead of it to lose.
with the acc in chaos and likely having a champion outside of the top 12 and the group of 5 conference champion being far out of the top 12 as well, the cut line is going to be the no. 10 spot, meaning vanderbilt is going to need to jump a four spots still.
outside of vanderbilt’s matchup against tennessee this week, vanderbilt fans will need to tune into notre dame at stanford, oklahoma hosting lsu, alabama going to auburn, byu hosting ucf, utah going to kansas and miami traveling to pittsburgh. Vanderbilt will more than likely need three or four of notre dame, alabama, oklahoma, miami, utah or byu to lose to feel good about its chances of sneaking into the 12-team bracket come selection sunday on dec. 7.
another thing to consider would be style points. What if vanderbilt beat tennessee in convincing fashion while teams just ahead of it skated by? How much of a difference would that make? Time will tell, but for now vanderbilt needs to focus on getting a victory against the volunteers saturday. |

Oklahoma remains in position to host playoff game in new cfp rankings
oklahoma enters the final week of the regular season in position to host a college football playoff contest.
the sooners held steady at no. 8 in the newest cfp rankings that were released on tuesday night.
if the season ended today, ou would host no. 9 notre dame on either dec. 19 or dec. 20 in the cfp.
oklahoma vaulted into the top eight following its 23-21 win over alabama, but notre dame’s performance last week opened the door for the fighting irish to jump back into a hosting position.
notre dame shredded syracuse 70-7 this past weekend, while the sooners only beat missouri 17-6, but the quality of ou’s win over the tigers kept brent venables’ team in front despite the ugly showing from oklahoma’s offense.
oregon’s victory over usc kept oklahoma and notre dame from leaping higher into the top 10, and now the sooners will turn their attention to lsu while the fighting irish travel to take on stanford.
should the sooners prevail on senior day, they’ll essentially lock up a playoff spot.
oklahoma hasn’t participated in the college football playoff since 2019, and the sooners have never been in the playoff in its new 12-team format.
the strength of the sooners’ resume lies with ou’s wins.
oklahoma’s marquee non-conference victory over michigan has held strong all year, as the wolverines enter the game ranked at no. 15.
ou also has wins over no. 19 tennessee in knoxville and no. 10 alabama.
