He will appear weekly on Saturdays on ACC Huddle. "I'm looking forward to joining ACC Network and the Huddle team this season," Fisher said in a statement to ESPN. "I've always had tremendous respect for this conference, and I'm looking forward to breaking down the action each week with such a talented group." Fisher, 59, posted a 128-48 record over 14 seasons as a collegiate head coach, including eight seasons at Florida State and six at Texas A&M.

The 2025 season premiere of ACC Huddle will air Aug. 30.

Millennial Man Has Eye-Opening Realization About How He Treated His Wife
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man has gone viral for his candid reflections on his "cluelessness" as a husband in the early years of his marriage. Josh Fisher's TikTok video, part of a series titled "Chronicles of a Clueless Husband" has resonated deeply across social media for offering an honest reflection on his journey from complicity in unequal domestic labor to a conscious effort toward becoming an equal partner. Fisher, in his early 40s, told Newsweek about what inspired him to share the video, which has amassed over 1.2 million views. In the clip, Fisher provided a striking example from early in his marriage to his partner, Jaime. From left: Josh Fisher sits in his car and speaks to camera. From left: Josh Fisher sits in his car and speaks to camera. @jfisher62/TikTok Fisher recounted planning a trip, where his partner "would be doing the laundry, vacuuming the house, making sure the dishes were done." He described his minimal contribution to trip preparations: "She would get everything ready, and eventually I would say, 'Oh, now it's time to get ready.'" The problematic division of labor, Fisher said in the video, only continued after they had children. "My partner would do all the work to get all of them ready and make sure they were bathed, snacks packed, and I would get myself ready," he said. He recognized the source of this ingrained behavior, noting that he grew up watching his father do the same. Fisher and Jaime, who have been married for over 20 years and are raising four kids, have been sharing their relationship experiences on social media for several years; they are "attempting to dismantle patriarchy within long-term relationships and culture at large," he told Newsweek. Fisher's personal awakening as a "clueless husband" began during the COVID-19 pandemic when he was suddenly home, watching the labor his wife performed when he would have been out of the house. This realization, combined with "my partner firmly communicating her boundaries," he said, created crucial "lightbulb moments." Fisher created the "Chronicles of a Clueless Husband" series to share these lessons in hindsight, along with some of the "milestone moments" of pain and growth in their relationship. "The hope was twofold," Fisher said. "Validate that women are not crazy for struggling in patriarchal relationships—and hopefully reach men sooner in hope they can figure this stuff out sooner than I did and prevent unnecessary pain." While the viral content primarily resonates with women in the comments, Fisher said that many men also reach out to him asking questions and seeking advice. The process of healing and reevaluation has been constant, Fisher added, and not easy. "Much of this work has meant that I had to reevaluate my own socialization and beliefs as a man, which starts with truly listening to women's experiences from a position of curiosity and care," Fisher said. He added that learning "how to be in relationship non-transactionally has been a huge learning curve but contributed to so much more health and joy in our household." Fisher said he hopes that becoming a man attuned to imbalanced gender roles and women's experiences within patriarchy has ripple effects. "I hope it … provides a healthier model of masculinity than the ones I grew up with," he said. "And, together with Jaime, we hope our thought leadership can contribute to positively changing the relationship landscape in our culture." Fisher's honesty is a call to action for men to examine their contributions to the mental load and emotional labor within their homes, fostering healthier and more-balanced dynamics for all.

Warning as mortgage rejected due to Japanese knotweed plant
Property expert Terry Fisher, from is urging potential buyers to also check neighbouring gardens to see if they are overgrown. It comes as a Reddit user recently shared how they had their mortgage rejected based on Japanese Knotweed. The original poster wrote: ''No Mortgage because Japanese Knotweed on neighbour's property.' They then explained: 'We've found our perfect first home. Done all the applications and forms, was asked for a Coal Authority Survey, paid that, pre-booked our L2 survey…Mortgage DENIED. 'Because there's Japanese Knotweed in the neighbour's garden.' Some comments pointed out the bank did the poster a favour, due to the invasive plant can cause. Property expert Mr Fisher, from agreed that a neighbouring property could have a bigger impact on the value of a home than many think. He said: 'Japanese knotweed, along with many other species of invasive plants, can cause untold amounts of damage to a property. Costs can quickly spiral into the thousands when it comes to treating it. 'It can severely impact the value of your property. And it's called 'invasive' for a reason, due to the speed it can spread and grow. Tips for first-time buyers 'If it features in a neighbouring property of a home you want to buy, it's definitely cause for alarm.' What is Japanese knotweed? Japanese knotweed, which was introduced to the UK as an ornamental plant in the nineteenth century, can only be removed with costly specialist treatment. The plant has a reputation for causing damage to property and foundations and can derail house purchases. Mr Fisher continued: 'Before you allow yourself to fall in love with a property or sign on the dotted line, take a look at your neighbours' land. Recommended Reading: 'If Japanese knotweed is present, I would seriously reconsider the purchase. Of course, a survey should flag risks to your property but the plant can die back and regrow from even the tiniest root. It can be missed. 'You can manage it with a treatment plan and even seek compensation from your neighbours if it does breach onto your land. 'But if you don't get a grip of the issue, you could be faced with costly repairs, pricey professional removal and further costs if it spreads from your land to other properties.'

IUN professor receives USDA fellowship to help agriculture opportunities
One year ago, Jenny Fisher wasn't aware of the U.S. Department of Agriculture fellowship for university faculty nationwide. Now, the Indiana University Northwest professor is one of eight educators nationwide participating in the science program. 'More and more people are finding out about it and applying,' said Fisher, associate professor of biology. 'I am very surprised and thankful that they chose me, which I'm still kind of amazed they did.' The USDA selected Fisher as one of the 2025 E. Kika De La Garza science fellows. The E. Kika De La Garza program is part of the department's Hispanic-Serving Institutions National Program, according to its website. Fisher first learned about the program last fall, after a former USDA employee and regional contact told her about it. She applied in March and learned she was awarded the fellowship in May, Fisher said. With changes in federal government funding, Fisher didn't know if the program would continue. 'When everything was kind of being shut down by the government for a while was when I had applied,' she said. 'They paused it, and then we thought it would be canceled for sure, but they reinstated it, which is awesome.' Since initial worries, government funding changes haven't affected Fisher's fellowship, she said. The program partners with Hispanic-Serving Institutions nationwide to support the agricultural workforce through professional development, workforce development and exposure to opportunities for faculty, staff and students. 'To develop agricultural leaders in both the public and private sectors, HSIs must take positive steps to engage and create partnerships to build capacity,' Lisa Ramirez, director of USDA's Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement, said in a statement. IUN has been a Hispanic-Serving Institution since 2020, according to Post-Tribune archives, which means at least 25% of the school's full-time equivalent undergraduate enrollment is Hispanic. IUN is the most diverse of the Indiana University campuses, and about 30% of its students are Hispanic or Latino, according to the university. Through the designation, the university can receive more grant funding and opportunities. The E. Kika De La Garza program has three fellowships: education, high school education, and science. The program is named after former U.S. Rep. Eligio 'Kika' de La Garza of Texas. Through the fellowship, Fisher traveled to Washington, D.C. and Columbus to meet with USDA officials and collaborate in the department's Agricultural Research Service in the Soil Drainage Laboratories. Fisher has also met the other educators in the program, which she said has been helpful as she plans for the upcoming school year. 'We sort of all became fast friends and have been communicating about things as we've left for our homes or other places,' Fisher said. 'Building those relationships was an unexpected benefit of this experience.' With the fellowship, Fisher hopes to show students what career and internship opportunities are available through USDA. She also wants students to have more of an appreciation for agriculture. Through her work, she hopes students learn there is more to agriculture than farming. 'In my first year seminar, I teach them about agriculture and have them think about how it touches their life, how much we take for granted, how complex the process really is and how it's connected to almost every aspect of their lives. There are so many facets of it to consider.'
