Jaylen Thomas exploded onto the scene with a game-changing pick-six, returning an interception 50 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to spark Washington State’s comeback. It was his second interception of the day — and his first career pick-six since fall camp, where he already showed playmaking flashes with three picks including another touchdown return. Though not starting, Thomas made a huge impact, shifting momentum and energizing the team at halftime. The Cougars’ defense still faces challenges without key cornerback Jalil Tucker and struggled to generate pressure, but players like Kaden Beatty insist it’s a learning moment — they’re focused on improving and getting back to their goal of keeping opponents off the scoreboard.

Cat strolls are taking LA by storm—owners are leashing their felines for safe, enriching neighborhood adventures. From stroller rides to canyon hikes, these outings give indoor cats mental stimulation and sensory exploration without the risks of free-roaming. Vet-approved for confident, curious kitties, it’s not for everyone—and safety measures like GPS trackers and harnesses are key. For others, indoor enrichment still reigns, but for those who dare, walking their cat is a bonding ritual—one sniff at a time.

Washington State’s offense is in freefall, scoring zero points against Kansas State—the first time since 2010—and now sits at 0-2 with QB Caden Pinnick throwing for just 65 yards on 9-of-20. Third-down woes are crushing the team (2-for-23), and Coach Kirby Moore demands more explosive plays. Pinnick offered no answers after the loss, saying only “We just lost. Next question.” Playcalling under OC Matt Miller has drawn fire—like a third-and-two run followed by a failed fourth-down keeper. The offensive line’s pass-blocking struggles compound the mess. Can this unit recover before it’s too late?

Washington State’s football team suffered a brutal 34-7 loss on the road against Kansas State, exposing serious offensive and defensive woes. The offense managed just 166 yards and failed to convert most third downs, scoring only once — via a missed field goal. Defense struggled mightily, surrendering 487 yards and multiple big plays, including a 75-yard touchdown run. Constantly forced to play due to Washington State’s inability to sustain drives, the defense had little chance to recover as Kansas State controlled the game with 34 minutes of possession. Jaylen Thomas shined early with two interceptions, including a touchdown that cut the deficit to 17-7, but Kansas State answered with another long score at halftime, sealing the outcome. With a 0-2 record after back-to-back road losses, the new coaching staff faces an uphill battle as they navigate roster changes and build chemistry. A much-needed break comes next week, but conference play looms — and time is running out to fix these glaring issues.

The Mariners’ bullpen crumbled again as Eduard Bazardo surrendered the walk-off run in extra innings, despite stepping up when closer Andrés Muñoz was unavailable — a brutal reminder of their season-long woes. Meanwhile, the sports world pays tribute to Joe Palmquist, the visionary photographer who helped shape online journalism with trust and creativity. Saturday’s college football slate explodes with high-stakes matchups: Utah State vs. Washington, Memphis vs. Boise State, and SDSU at UCLA — while Oregon battles Oklahoma State for survival and Cal kicks off its ACC schedule against Syracuse. In hoops, Kate Koval gets a transfer waiver from LSU after Russia’s addition, while Eastern Washington and Montana State face uphill climbs. And in the NFL, Seahawks backups shine under pressure — while NASCAR drivers flex their personalities on air and the Mariners keep stumbling.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reunite as the Owens sisters in “Practical Magic Two,” twenty-eight years after the original, bringing their evolved but enduring bond to the screen. Though they barely remember the first film, they relish the chance to portray their characters’ growth — Bullock calling Kidman fearless and truth-telling, Kidman praising Bullock as resilient and unapologetically herself. The sequel finds the sisters estranged, with Sally (Bullock) focused on motherhood and Gillian (Kidman) stepping in when a family curse strikes Kylie. Their fierce love, Bullock says, is a rare and vital portrayal of female connection in cinema. Kidman sought a “light and fun” role to contrast her dramatic roles, while Bullock found healing in the project after personal loss. The film delves into inherited legacies — both blessings and burdens — with Bullock candidly sharing her fear of flying, which she unintentionally passed to her son. She hopes her kids forge their own paths, teaching her more than she ever taught them. Both stars are thrilled by Joey King and Maisie Williams as their daughters, and they’re already dreaming of a third film — maybe even before another two decades pass.
