CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The problem that Bret Bielema faces ahead of the 2023 season isn't exactly a bad one, considering the struggles Illinois football has dealt with in the past. Thanks to an 8-5 season in 2022 that featured a number of players finding their way onto the radar of college football fans and pundits, there are positive expectations for the Illini heading into the 2023 campaign.The season opens up Saturday night at Memorial Stadium when Illinois hosts reigning Mid-American Conference champion Toledo at 6:30 p.m. After knocking on the door of a Big Ten West title a season ago, there is hope from some they might be able to pull off that program first this season.That's quite a change from Bielema's first two seasons, presenting a common challenge for the veteran college coach: How to put positive preseason hype in perspective.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:25:09 GMT

HOUSTON (KXAN) — A Texas law that could criminalize drag performances in the state is temporarily blocked from going into effect after a federal judge's early decision about a legal challenge Thursday. U.S. District Judge David Hittner issued a temporary restraining order against Senate Bill 12, which was set to go into effect Friday. He granted this request after a two-day hearing earlier this week over a lawsuit brought by an Austin-based drag performer, a local drag production company and three other plaintiffs. Hittner wrote in his decision that this order would last only 14 days while he deliberated on a permanent injunction over the law. If that ultimately happens, it will almost certainly be appealed by the state.
