We got questions about how you get your wings, but first, we got to talk about some football. Uh, the difference today, cause you've taken the college football world by storm. All of us covering it watch you every day. We scream about the highlights. How different do you feel today going into this season than you did last year? Uh, I feel pretty good about going into this season, um, you know, coming in as a freshman, you know, everything coming fast at you. Um, but this year, um, I feel like everything is slowed down for me and I'll be able to, you know, play faster and better than what I did last year, I should say. New offensive coordinator, new quarterback, how much difference does that make to your day in, day out? Uh, nothing different, uh, you know, we got, you know, recruited two good quarterbacks, uh, you know, Coach Harlan became the OC, so I think we're in a pretty good space right now. Pressure last year also fell on the shoulders of Ryan Day. Felt like everybody with the microphone had a big opinion on Ryan Day's got to win an Adie, right? Like, have you seen just a difference in the overall vibe from your head coach now that he has that title? Uh, I mean, a little bit, uh, nothing too crazy, but you know everything he done, you know, calmed down a little bit, not too tense, um. But yeah, nothing too crazy, nothing changed really. I mean, he did it. I felt a little bit. You guys will step on the field week one against Texas. So no preseason, no opportunity to work out the kinks. How does that feel for you going in right away to a matchup? Everybody's going to be obsessed with? Yeah, I mean, we gotta be ready. I mean we got Kemp coming up and, you know, 34 days.

This is always interesting to me because I worked for a long time with Harry Douglas who played in the NFL, and I found out the weirdest thing about Harry Douglas. I love him like a brother, but my guy always drank Sprite during football games. Like during the football game, they replaced. his drinks with Sprite. He drinks more Sprite than anybody I've ever met. So I'm just wondering, like, like, obviously Red Bull's giving you your wings, but are you sneaking any during the game? Like, what's, what's the Red Bull routine like? Yeah, I got to sneaking in a game or when it got to. Is there a favorite flavor? I like all of them, so nothing too crazy. I like them all. Look at that right down the middle, like down the middle. Close

How AI is cheapening tertiary education at Sydney University
Sydney University's Fisher Library resembles a Goya portrait series when exams are on. Each student's face is a study in despair. Some stare pleadingly at blank word documents. Others crumple Red Bull can, after Red Bull can, as they hammer away at a software program. I've watched people get halfway through proofing a hard copy essay draft before ripping it up in defeat. The most exhausted sleep it off on the couches clustered at the entrance to each of Fisher's levels.

Ferrari F1 Leadership Talks Heating Up as Vasseur's Future Stays Undecided
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. Ferrari is set to make a decision on team principal Fred Vasseur's future, given the expiry of his contract at the end of 2025. Vasseur joined the team in 2023 and has since elevated the team to a new level. The Frenchman's impact was immediately felt following his arrival from Sauber, as Ferrari was the only team apart from Red Bull to win a race in the entire year of 2023. Carlos Sainz's victory in Singapore was one of the biggest highlights of the season, a campaign that was otherwise dominated by Max Verstappen, who won 19 of the 22 Grands Prix, while Sergio Perez secured two race wins. The 2024 season saw a resurgence of McLaren and Ferrari, with both teams surpassing Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship. The battle for the cup went on until the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Despite McLaren winning the championship, Ferrari proved itself to be a significant competitor under Vasseur's leadership. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 28, 2024 in Spa, Belgium. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 28, 2024 in Spa, also played a huge role in the signing of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton ahead of the 2024 season, who replaced Sainz this year. While Ferrari's current struggles with the SF-25 F1 car don't align with its goals, the team seems to be on the right path, given Charles Leclerc's five podium finishes this season thus far. Although Hamilton struggled to adapt to his SF-25, his positive feedback from last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix suggests a considerable improvement, courtesy of a new rear suspension and overnight tweaks on the car in parc ferme that helped him finish seventh at Spa-Francorchamps after starting in the pit lane. A report states that a contract extension for Vasseur is on its way, and the deal is expected to be signed shortly. This comes amid recent rumors of Vasseur's replacement. However, that is currently unlikely, especially considering the circumstances Ferrari finds itself in, and the onset of a new era of regulations next year, where cars will be powered equally by electric power and internal combustion. In addition, considering Hamilton's rapport with Vasseur that goes back to his junior racing days, the 40-year-old driver recently confirmed that he wanted Vasseur to stay with Ferrari. Newsweek Sports reported Hamilton's comments from last month: "I love working with Fred. Fred's the main reason I'm in this team and got the opportunity to be here, which I'm forever grateful for. And we're in this together. We're working hard in the background. Things aren't perfect, but for me, I'm here to work with with the team, but also with Fred. "I want Fred here. I do believe Fred is the person to take us to the top. And so that's that." He added: "I'm here to win with Fred, and he has my full support."

Geri Horner celebrates with the Lionesses at Oasis' Wembley concert after the team won the women's Euros final
Geri Horner celebrated with the Lionesses as they attended Oasis' concert at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday after the team won the women's Euros final. The former Spice Girl, 52, joined Alex Greenwood, Hannah Hampton and Alessia Russo in the crowd the band's hotly-anticipated reunion. The team roared to victory in Sunday's match following a nail-biting game, which finished with an incredible 3-1 penalty shoot out win. Congratulating them on their win, Geri joined the girls for a photo before they took their seats for the gig. She captioned her Instagram post: 'They're home!' After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, Oasis returned to London last week, where they will play five shows. Elsewhere, Geri has faced yet another blow when it was revealed her book company has racked up a huge £1million debt. It comes following the news her husband Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. According to a new publication Geri could now be facing her own troubles as her company Falcon Queen Productions has sunk further into the red. The Mirror reports, Geri had a deficit of £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 the previous year. The singer released her children's books, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm. However, her 'main company, Wonderful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year.' Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals. MailOnline has contacted Geri's representative for comment. Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull earlier this month. It ends the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and comes a year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Horner's former Spice Girl wife Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One paddock last year. Horner has vehemently denied the claims. Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the 51-year-old of all allegations. Horner survived accusations of coercive behaviour towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing.

Newcastle to change name to Red Bulls after takeover
Newcastle Falcons will be known as Newcastle Red Bulls from next season with the energy drink company on the verge of a takeover. It is understood that the move still requires ratification from the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and for lawyers to complete the process, but Newcastle players and staff have been informed that Red Bull has agreed terms with Semore Kurdi, the former chairman. Red Bull is said to have outlined an impressive vision, based on retaining academy products and making the club a destination for rugby union in the north of England, and will take on Newcastle's debt. This includes a Covid loan of close to £14.5m. Newcastle will join a stable of sporting organisations including the Formula 1 team and football clubs such as FC Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. Red Bull, also a minority investor in Leeds United, has been a partner of England Rugby since 2020, when Simon Massie-Taylor, Premiership Rugby's chief executive, was at the RFU as chief commercial officer. It also shares partnerships with individual athletes such as Jack Nowell and Ben Stokes. Although there have been reports linking Red Bull to investment in R360, the embryonic global league initiative, its commitment to Newcastle is a robust endorsement of the Premiership and of rugby union in England. New hope for flagging club Steve Diamond, the Newcastle director of rugby, spent the 2024-25 season explaining that the club was in a 'holding pattern'. With Kurdi no longer prepared to bankroll Newcastle, having poured in around £25m since 2011, there had been discussions of a loan from the other Premiership clubs and CVC Capital Partners, the private equity firm that owns a stake in the league. As far as results on the field, insiders have urged patience. Newcastle finished bottom of the Premiership table last season after two wins from 18 league matches. Having continually faced a struggle to retain talent, they have lost several influential players ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Jamie Blamire, the England hooker, has joined Leicester Tigers and former captain Callum Chick will also be in the East Midlands with Northampton Saints. Further departures, including that of wing Ben Stevenson to Vannes in France, have been announced over the summer. However, the Red Bull takeover offers hope of consolidation and exciting development. There is understood to be a drive to improve the club's infrastructure and strengthen the academy pathway in order to challenge for silverware in the future.
