In a recent interview with the Associated Press, former reporter Harry Atkins recounts his experience covering the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the most infamous in all Great Lakes history, as family members and maritime history followers honor the 50th anniversary of the disaster. Atkins’ initial news story on the shipwreck, the last major shipwreck on the Great Lakes, is credited with helping to inspire Gordan Lightfoot’s famous song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” The large 730-foot long freighter sank on Nov. 10, 1975, in the midst of a major storm on Lake Superior. While the exact cause of the wreck remains a mystery, the story lives on in popular memory thanks to Lightfoot’s ballad.

U.S. college students who receive federal food aid are looking to their campuses for support because the program known as SNAP is in limbo during the government shutdown. Colleges are spreading awareness about food pantries and handing out free meals to students. A tribal college in North Dakota is hosting ‘Soup Tuesdays’ and providing students with meal kits. A university in New Mexico is asking people to donate to the campus food pantry. And a college in Sacramento is considering increasing grocery pop up events where students can access free produce.
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are three wins away from an MLS Cup title. Messi scored two goals and added two assists, leading Inter Miami to a 4-0 victory over Nashville SC on Saturday night. Tadeo Allende scored twice in the second half, both set up by Messi. Inter Miami outscored Nashville 8-3 in the series, with Messi involved in all eight goals. Inter Miami will face FC Cincinnati in an East semifinal match on November 22 or 23. This is the first time Inter Miami has reached this stage in the MLS playoffs. Messi is a favorite for his second straight MLS MVP award.
Freshman Cam Ward had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Coen Carr scored 15 points and soared for seven rebounds and No. 22 Michigan State beat No. 14 Arkansas 69-66 in a matchup of Hall of Fame coaches. The Spartans grabbed 19 offensive rebounds and converted them into 18 points, a staple of Tom Izzo’s program for 31 seasons. John Calipari has highly touted freshmen Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas in his second season with the Razorbacks. Acuff had 16 points on 5 of 16 shooting points. Thomas scored 16 on 5 of 15 shooting.
Diego Pavia threw a 4-yard pass to Cole Spence in overtime, and No. 15 Vanderbilt rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat Auburn 45-38. The win keeps hopes of a College Football Playoff berth alive for Vanderbilt. The Commodores had left themselves with no room to spare after losing 34-31 last week at Texas. Auburn’s Ashton Daniels tied it up at 38-all by throwing a 23-yard TD pass to Cam Coleman before finding Coleman again for a 2-point conversion with 5:27 left. In overtime, needing to match Pavia’s TD, Daniels overthrew Coleman in the end zone on fourth-and-7.
The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, says the number of victims of a UPS cargo plane crash stands at 14 with nobody believed to be still unaccounted for among the missing. Mayor Craig Greenberg says in a post on X that the 13 victims located at the crash site matches the total number of missing people reported to police. A 14th person died in a hospital. Greenberg says a coroner is identifying the victims. The crash Tuesday at UPS Worldport killed the three pilots on the MD-11 bound for Honolulu. The plane crashed into businesses after a wing caught fire and an engine separated on takeoff.
Iowa State tight end Benjamin Brahmer insists that things looked a lot worse than they were when he passed out on the field after getting up from a big hit in the previous game. A week later, Brahmer was back in the end zone Saturday. Brahmer caught a pass around the 11 with his back to the goal line, then then lunged through four defenders while extending his 6-foot-7 body into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the Cyclones’ 20-17 win at TCU that snapped a four-game losing streak.
Atticus Sappington kicked a 39-yard field goal with 3 seconds left, and No. 6 Oregon escaped with an 18-16 win over Iowa on a rainy Saturday. Dante Moore led a 10-play, 54-yard drive to set up Sappington’s third field goal of the game. He connected with Malik Benson for 24 yards to get the Ducks into range for the winning kick. Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski’s 3-yard touchdown run capped a 12-play, 93-yard drive that gave the Hawkeyes their first lead, 16-15 with 1:51 to play. Gronowski’s 2-point conversion pass was incomplete. Noah Whittington had 118 rushing yards for the Ducks, who extended their road winning streak to 11 games.
Keali’i Ah Yat threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Montana held on to beat Eastern Washington 29-24. Jake Schakel, a redshirt freshman making his first start, threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Cole Pruett with 1:01 to play for the Eagles. Eastern Washington recovered the onside kick and Schakel had the Eagles at the Montana 9 with 25 seconds to go. The Grizzlies kept the receiver inbounds on a 4-yard completion but when Schakel took the snap with eight seconds left and rushed to spike the ball, it slipped out of his hands for a fumble and the clock ran out. Schakel was impressive against the No. 2 team in the FCS coaches poll and 25,861 fans, completing 43 of 63 passes for 451 yards and two touchdowns, although he had two interceptions.
Marcel Reed throws for 221 yards and two touchdowns as No. 3 Texas A&M defeats No. 19 Missouri 38-17. The Aggies remain undefeated, improving to 9-0. Rueben Owens II adds 102 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter on Saturday. Missouri freshman Matt Zollers struggles in his first start, completing just 7 of 22 passes for 77 yards. Despite strong rushing performances from Jamal Roberts and Ahmad Hardy, the Tigers fall short. Texas A&M capitalizes on a key fumble late in the first half to build momentum. The Aggies will face South Carolina next, while Missouri hosts Mississippi State.
Justin Lamson threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more scores, Julius Davis added 114 yards on just 10 carries with two touchdowns and Montana State beat Weber State 66-14 on Saturday. Montana State (8-2, 6-0 Big Sky) extended its winning streak to eight straight games with its 21st consecutive home victory. Davis’ 52-yard touchdown run gave Montana State a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez indicated he was somewhat coerced by teammates into striking a Heisman Trophy pose in another dominating defensive performance by the ninth-ranked Red Raiders. The 6-foot-1, 235-pounder with a distinctive mustache should at least be in the conversation for college football’s highest individual honor. He had 14 tackles and two takeaways in the 29-7 win over previously undefeated No. 8 BYU on Saturday. Three-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted on social media after attending the game to get Rodriguez to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. Rodriguez is also the FBS leader with seven forced fumbles.
Authorities in Miami are investigating the death of a passenger traveling on a Carnival cruise ship that returned to the city Saturday. Carnival Cruise Line says the passenger was traveling aboard the Carnival Horizon. The ship holds up to nearly 4,000 guests and sails to the Caribbean. It returned to PortMiami Saturday morning, the company says. Carnival Cruise Line says it is focused on supporting the late passenger’s family and cooperating with authorities. The FBI Miami office is investigating the incident but declined to offer further details.

Stone Harrington kicked a school-record five field goals and Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez had two takeaways as the No. 9 Red Red Raiders beat eighth-ranked BYU 29-7. Behren Morton passed for 219 yards and threw a 9-yard touchdown to Caleb Douglas and Cameron Dickey ran for 121 yards and a 1-yard score Saturday for the 9-1 Red Raiders, who played in a top-10 matchup for the first time since 2008. BYU dropped to 8-1 and snapped its overall 10-game winning streak.
Julian Sayin threw for 303 yards and one touchdown and No. 1 Ohio State used four straight scoring drives in the second quarter to pull away from Purdue 34-10. Jeremiah Smith finished with a season-high 10 catches for 137 yards and caught a 35-yard TD pass to break open the game. It was his 25th career scoring catch, tying him with Santonio Holmes for sixth on the Buckeyes all-time list. Sayin was 27 of 33 with one interception as the Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) extended the nation’s longest active winning streak to 13. The Boilermakers gained just 186 yards.
The Trump administration’s legal efforts to fight having to fully fund food stamps for millions of vulnerable Americans is creating an opening for Democrats eager to use the longest government shutdown in U.S. history to paint the president as callous and out of touch. The Supreme Court late Friday granted the administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order requiring them to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the shutdown. The legal maneuvering comes as both parties have tried to gain the political upper hand and blame the other for the shutdown as its impact is increasingly felt across the nation.
Omar Cooper Jr. jumped to catch a pass from Fernando Mendoza in the back of the endzone, sweeping his inside foot within the field of play to save No. 2 Indiana from its first loss of the season against a downtrodden Penn State team that almost denied the Hoosiers their first Happy Valley win in school history. Mendoza connected with the leaping Cooper with 36 seconds remaining to put Indiana ahead 27-24. Penn State rallied to take the lead 24-20 late in the fourth quarter after being down by 13 points in the third. Ethan Grunkemeyer connected with Nicholas Singleton for a 19-yard score.
Gunner Stockton threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns and No. 5 Georgia beat Mississippi State 41-21. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) surrendered a touchdown on the opening drive of the game and then scored 38 straight points. It was a complete mismatch on both sides of the ball as the Georgia Bulldogs held the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-5, 1-5 SEC) scoreless on six consecutive possessions while scoring five straight touchdowns themselves. Everything worked for Georgia offensively as Stockton finished 18 of 29 passing for 264 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 31 more yards.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has arrived in Manhattan, marking the start of New York City’s holiday season. This year’s tree is a 75-foot Norway spruce from East Greenbush, a suburb of Albany. It traveled about 150 miles on a flatbed truck to reach its new home. On Saturday workers used cranes to position the 11-ton tree at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The spruce will soon be decorated with over 50,000 LED lights and a Swarovski star. It will be lit Dec. 3 during a live TV broadcast. The tree was donated by Judy Russ and her family.
Labaron Philon scored 25 points and No. 15 Alabama passed an early season non-conference test with a 103-96 victory over fifth-ranked St. John’s. Philon helped Alabama clinch the win with a deep 3-pointer for a 98-88 lead with two minutes remaining. He shot 10 of 17 from the field in his second straight strong performance as Alabama took control late in the first half, withstood a comeback and executed in the final minutes. Aden Holloway added 21 points after sitting out the season opener with a wrist injury as the Crimson Tide (2-0) shot 48.1%.
The White House says it would be “beautiful” to name the new stadium for Washington’s NFL team after President Donald Trump. The remarks on Saturday came following an ESPN report that an intermediary has told the Commanders’ ownership group that he wants it to bear his name. Trump could deliver the message in person on Sunday when he is expected to watch the Commanders play the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. American veterans are scheduled to be honored at halftime.

Reusable bottles get grubby no matter what liquid they’re filled with, so it’s important to clean them regularly. Water bottles pick up germs from our mouths when we take a sip, and from our hands when we touch the straw or lid. Experts disagree on when and how you should wash them, but they’re all in agreement on one thing: something is better than nothing at all. The simplest cleaning routine is a daily soapy water scrub, using a thin brush to get into straws and tight crannies. For a deeper clean, try the dishwasher if your bottle can handle it, or dissolve a denture or retainer-cleaning tablet in it overnight.
Washington’s local economy has taken blows from a series of actions by the Trump administration, from the layoffs of federal workers to the ongoing law enforcement intervention with the National Guard. Now there’s the added fallout from the government shutdown, which has furloughed workers and paused money for food assistance. Experts say the shutdown’s long-term impact on the regional economy will be felt long after the government reopens. The Capital Area Food Bank is providing 8 million more meals than it had prepared to this budget year. That’s a nearly 20% increase.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters. Nonprofits say it is common for owners to supplement their pet’s diet with human food purchased using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance benefits. For other owners, SNAP frees up money to buy pet food. The situation is so dire that one Louisiana shelter is considering diverting money normally used on veterinary care to buy more pet food. Another Illinois nonprofit is pairing SNAP recipients with volunteers so they can shop together for human and pet food.
Zohran Mamdani’s winning run for New York City mayor featured a memorable campaign design that drew its inspiration from a wide range of influences, helping the democratic socialist appeal to young and diverse voters. The colors were meant to reflect the vibrant primary colors that help bodegas, yellow cabs, hot dog vendors and other small businesses stand out amid the city bustle. The stylized font was meant to evoke hand-painted signs and old-school Bollywood posters. David Schwittek, a professor at Lehman College, said the design choices sent a clear message that the campaign was focused on working class New Yorkers.
UPS and FedEx has decided to ground their fleets of MD-11 planes “out of an abundance of caution” after a deadly crash at a UPS global aviation hub in Kentucky. The companies announced their decisions separately late Friday. The MD-11 aircraft make up about 9% of the UPS airline fleet and 4% of the FedEx fleet. The companies stated that their decisions were made proactively at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer. The crash occurred Tuesday at UPS Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 14 people, including the three pilots on the MD-11 that was headed for Honolulu.
