Chipola rolls into postseason with another Panhandle title
The Indians (24-6) are the No. 11 ranked team in the NJCAA and No. 2 in the FCSAA heading into the postseason.
Chipola's strength this season, like every year in the Donnie Tyndal coaching era, is defense.
The Indians have only allowed 70 points in three games this season and have forced opponents into scoring less than 60 in more than half of their matchups.
Coach Tyndall says there is still a lot of work to do on offense and that there is even room for improvement on defense.
'My first three years, we were number one in the country and defense,' Tyndall said. 'Last year we dropped the number two, so I wasn't real happy about that. And so currently, we're sitting at number two and I'm constantly challenging my team, and berating them if you will, about how we're not good enough defensively. We're number two in the country. My first three teams were number one.'
In addition to five straight Panhandle Conference titles, Chipola has won three out of the past four FCSAA Region VIII Championships before heading to nationals.
Coach Tyndall said they want to defend their state crown in Raider Arena in Niceville but it will not be an easy task.
'We understand it could be one and done,' Tyndall said. 'I mean, that's just how good this state tournament is going to be. We've had, I believe, six or seven teams in our region that have been nationally ranked this season. So it's going to be it's going to be a physical, hard-fought affair no matter who you play.'
The Indians should be the one or two seed at the state tournament. The regional bracket will be released on Friday, March 7. Chipola's quarterfinal game will be on March 13.

Indian cricketer has a shocking response to crypto haters
Indian cricketer has a shocking response to crypto haters originally appeared on TheStreet. Gautam Gambhir, India's former cricketer and the current coach of the Indian cricket team, recently took aim at those calling crypto a "fad." "Guess what? 2 Crore+ Indians disagree," he wrote on X on Aug. 6. The figure of 20 million (2 crore) refers to the user base the Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX seems to be boasting of, with Gambhir being a brand ambassador. While the celebrity player tagged CoinDCX in his post, the community notes underlined that he has repeatedly promoted the brand in the past without any mandated is one of the largest crypto exchanges in India, and the country itself boasts of one of the largest numbers of crypto users in the world. As per the on-chain analytics platform Chainalysis, India led the 2024 global crypto adoption index. However, there is still ambiguity around the regulatory status of crypto assets in the country despite a strict taxation regime. CoinDCX attempts to gain confidence It was on July 19 that the on-chain sleuth ZachXBT revealed CoinDCX getting drained of nearly $44.2 million in a heist — exactly a year after another Indian crypto exchange WazirX got hacked for $234 million. CoinDCX co-founder and CEO Sumit Gupta later acknowledged the attack and claimed that the exploit didn't impact any customer funds. The loss will be absorbed from CoinDCX's own treasury reserves, he had said. The exchange launched a recovery bounty program on July 25, promising up to 25% of any recovered funds to parties who can help retrieve the stolen crypto assets. A police investigation is going on. CoinDCX's latest branding move is intended as a confidence-building measure after the drastic incident.

Trump rips Washington Commanders as 'not a good name,' again calls for return to Redskins' identity
President Donald Trump again took aim at the Washington Commanders for the franchise's infamous name change, this time during a White House event. During a ceremony for the signing of an executive order to reestablish the presidential physical fitness test, Trump addressed a question about his recent demands for the franchise to change its name back to the Redskins. "I don't even know what the hell their last name is," Trump said. "It's Commanders or something? Is it Commanders? Commanders, it's not a good name." Trump called the Redskins "fabled" and suggested the team "bring back the name." Trump has called for the Cleveland Guardians to change their name back to the Indians and did so again Thursday at the White House. "And, I mean, the Cleveland Indians. How about that? That was an original. Original franchise — 1903 or something, 1906. An original the Cleveland Indians, and what do they do? They change the name from Indians. "What's wrong with the word 'Indian?' You know who is upset about it? The Indians are upset about it. They're upset about Redskins too. People want the Redskins back, and the Indians want the Redskins back." Trump recently called for the teams to change their names back on social media and even suggested he might try to block funding for Washington's new $3.7 billion stadium project at the site of the old RFK Stadium. The project is in the design and negotiation phase, with groundbreaking planned for 2026 and an anticipated opening in 2030. The organization is working with the D.C. Council to finalize the deal.
