Peggy Coppom hasn’t quite seen it all with the Colorado Buffaloes, but she’s seen much more than most, so believe her when she says Thursday was a good day to be a fan.The 98-year-old has been attending football games since her family moved from the high plains of eastern Colorado to Boulder in 1939 to escape the Dust Bowl, and she’s missed only a couple home games since buying season tickets in 1966.The excitement in her voice was obvious during a phone call minutes after university regents approved the school’s return to the Big 12 in 2024.“I’m so happy to get back to the Big 12 — or the Big 15 or whatever it ends up being,” she said, laughing. “It seems like that’s where we belong. We don’t belong with the West Coast people.”Of course, the Big 12 isn’t the same league it was when the Buffs left for the Pac-12 in 2012. Nebraska and Missouri are gone, and Oklahoma and Texas will be, too. BYU could become a rival, but the Buffs have little i...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (KDVR) — Cheyenne Wells is a city in Colorado with a population of 600. Better make that 598, because Tammy and Michael Engelbrecht are not in Cheyenne Wells right now. They are in Cheyenne, Wyoming cooking up a storm, chuckwagon style.A chuckwagon is an Old West-era kitchen on wheels. They were used for storing food and preparing food for cowboys, pioneers and anyone who needed to eat in the field. They were used in wagon trains to feed settlers as well. Chuckwagons were the original food trucks. Why is Cheyenne Frontier Days called ‘Daddy of ‘Em All’? It's part Western heritage, part living history and a big part culinary cuisine. Cowboy grub had to be great.“Food was the only thing that they had to look forward to. Food was the only luxury they had,“ Michael said. “The average age of the cowhand was about 12 years old to 14 years old, and so as a very young man, he may or may not have a family and you need to keep him on the trails,“ Tammy said.The Engelbrechts a...

Senate passes defense policy bill, setting up showdown with the House

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:13 GMT

(CNN) — The Senate passed a critical national defense policy bill Thursday evening – setting up a showdown with the Republican-controlled House.The House passed its own version of the bill – known as the National Defense Authorization Act – earlier this month after adopting a series of controversial amendments pushed by hardline conservatives. Now that the Senate has passed its NDAA bill, lawmakers will need to reconcile the Senate bill and the House bill by negotiating a compromise version that can pass both chambers.The NDAA sets the policy agenda and authorizes funding for the Department of Defense annually.The controversial amendments added to the House bill included provisions to restrict abortion and transgender health care access and eliminate diversity and inclusion programs. Adoption of the amendments infuriated Democrats and caused the House bill to lose significant Democratic support.“It’s going to take some work, but we just hope that we would focus on actual issues rela...

British authorities have launched an investigation after officials mistakenly sent emails meant for U.S. military intelligence to the government in Mali, a Russian ally.Officials from the U.K. Ministry of Defense were supposed to be sending emails to the Pentagon, but accidentally sent them to Mali’s government instead, the Times reported Thursday.

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 870,000 newer F-150 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the electric parking brakes can turn on unexpectedly.The recall covers certain pickups from the 2021 through 2023 model years with single exhaust systems. Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.The company says in documents posted by government safety regulators Friday that a rear wiring bundle can come in contact with the rear axle housing. That can chafe the wiring and cause a short circuit, which can turn on the parking brake without action from the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.Drivers may see a parking brake warning light and a warning message on the dashboard.Ford says in documents that it has 918 warranty claims and three field reports of wire chafing in North America. Of these, 299 indicated unexpected parking brake activation, and 19 of these happened while the trucks were being driven.The company says it doesn’t kn...
