California K-9 Otis helps police seize 440 pounds of cocaine during Alhambra traffic stop
A California traffic stop took a massive turn when a police K-9 sniffed out approximately 200 kilos, or roughly 440 pounds, of cocaine allegedly packed inside an SUV filled with cardboard boxes, authorities said.
The Alhambra Police Department said the incident began after officers conducted a traffic stop along Valley Boulevard near the 710 Freeway.
Although authorities did not say what prompted the initial stop, they noticed the driver appeared to have an unusual amount of cargo in his vehicle.
"The driver was transporting more cardboard boxes than Amazon on Prime Day," police said in a social media post.

That's when the driver began offering an explanation for the boxes, according to police.
"At first, he said he was heading home to Huntington Park from his cousin’s house and that the boxes were not his," police said in the post.
But that wasn't the man's only story.
"Later came version 2.0 of his lore," police continued, "and he said he was taking diesel parts to a shop that his friend owned."
Up stepped K-9 Otis and his handler to help investigate.

Police said Otis alerted officers to the vehicle, prompting them to search the SUV.
"Thanks to Otis’ top-tier nose, he alerted to the vehicle, and officers discovered the SUV was packed with approximately 200 kilos of cocaine," police said.
The driver, identified as Julio Rangel of Huntington Park, was arrested and booked into the Alhambra Police Department jail, according to police.
Following the drug bust, Otis was hailed as the hero of the operation.
"A round of a-paws for our good boy, K9 Otis," police said.
Users on social media also praised the K-9's work, with many arguing that Otis had earned a promotion — and was perhaps even on track to become police chief one day.
"Give that dog a bone!" another user exclaimed.
One user joked about Otis' ability to sniff out criminals.
"No One escapes from the Long Paw of …. The DOG"
Others suggested that, at the very least, Otis deserved a big steak dinner.
Brewers take Game 1 of NLDS after a controversial call on sure-fire home run ball that hit the stadium roof
The best-of-five NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres is one of the most anticipated of the MLB postseason.
And boy, did Game 1 — a 3-2 Brewers win — not disappoint, even ending with one of the most bizarre, unlucky things you will ever see in a Major League Baseball game.
The Brewers were the best team in baseball this season, while the Padres went on a tear down the stretch to make the playoffs, and then made short work of the Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card Round.

Presumptive NL Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski took the hill for the Brewers in what was the first postseason start of the hard-throwing righty's career. Meanwhile, lefty Robbie Ray got the nod for San Diego.
Misiorowski set the tone early, striking out Padres star and lead-off hitter Fernando Tatis Jr., which helped keep the raucous crowd at American Family Field in a frenzy.
However, in the second inning, something seemed to click for the Padres when DH Luis Campusano poked a single into right field with two on, which brought in a run to open the scoring.
The Padres added another on a fielder's choice to go up 2-0.
In the third, the Brewers got on the board thanks to a Jackson Chourio two-run shot, which happened to be the hardest-hit homer of his career.
The game remained tied through six innings, with Misiorowski exiting the game after four innings of work in which he gave up 6 hits, 2 runs, and a walk while striking out 6 hitters.

In the seventh inning, Milwaukee brought in relief pitcher Abner Uribe to face Tatis and Manny Machado; however, both managed to get on base. Then with the two on first and third respectively, Uribe hit first baseman Ty France to load the bases.
Uribe got the hook, with lefty DL Hall coming in to face left-handed-hitting Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill.
Fortunately for the Brewers, Merrill flew out to left field, getting them out of a big jam.
That was key, because after retiring two batters on two pitches to start the bottom of the seventh, Brewers catcher William Contreras took the 3-2 offering from Adrian Morejon and sent it into the seats in right-center field.
That solo home run was just Contreras' second hit all season against San Diego pitching.
The Brewers got out of another jam in the top of the eighth with the Padres leaving several runners on base, something that was a theme for both teams throughout the night.
The top of the 9th brought the strangest moment of the game when Ty France nearly hit the cover of the ball for what looked like a go-ahead, two-run home run.
However, the ball hit one of the trusses in the stadium's roof. The ball then bounced nearly straight down and was caught by Jackson Chourio.
The rule is that if the ball hits the roof in fair territory, it's still live. Chourio made a clutch play to track it down and keep the tying run from scoring.
The Padres challenged, but the call stood for the second out of the inning.
Jackson Merrill was the next batter and lined out to right field to end the game.
It was a good game from start to finish, but with so many strong performances on display, who would have thought the Brewers' biggest play would come from the roof at American Family Field?
Game 2 is Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee, and you can catch it on FS1.
If it's even half as entertaining as Game 1, it'll be must-see TV.
Shooting near Baltimore youth football event leaves 12-year-old girl dead, 3 adults wounded
A 12-year-old girl was killed and three adults were wounded after two gunmen allegedly opened fire during a dispute near a youth football game in Baltimore, Maryland, authorities said Saturday.
The preteen girl was apparently caught in the crossfire at Leon Day Park, where a youth football league was holding its homecoming event, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said during a news conference.
The two men are believed to have been in a dispute that started over a parking space, according to Worley.
"What we know is that there was some type of argument between two cowards, and of course, they both opened fire on each other," Worley said.

"In the crossfire, a 12-year-old little girl who was probably down there watching football was shot and killed," he added.
As of Saturday evening, police said they were searching for at least two suspects, whom authorities described as adult men. No arrests had been announced as of late Saturday night.
Baltimore police told Fox News Digital that officers responded to the 1200 block of North Franklintown Road at approximately 6:15 p.m. after receiving multiple reports of gunfire.
Officers found a 25-year-old woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound and the 12-year-old girl, who was transported to a hospital but later pronounced dead.

A 28-year-old man and a 23-year-old man separately walked into area hospitals seeking treatment for gunshot wounds, police said.
All three surviving victims were listed in stable condition.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott gave an emotionally charged reaction to the incident, which he said unfolded because two adults couldn't resolve an argument without guns.
"Two grown men got into an argument and now a 12-year-old is gone," he said.
AT LEAST 3 DEAD, 23 WOUNDED IN SEPARATE MASS SHOOTINGS LESS THAN 15 MINUTES APART
"What happened out here today is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life," Scott added.
Scott said the girl's death would have a profound impact on the community before offering his condolences to her family.
"We're never gonna see her full potential," he said. "Her family's gonna be hurting for this for the rest of their life. Her classmates are going to be hurting, her community's going to be hurting."

Texas mother facing capital murder charges after allegedly shooting her two sons to death
A Texas mother is facing capital murder charges after allegedly shooting her two sons before appearing to harm herself, authorities said.
Colleen Nichole Lemmon, 42, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of capital murder, according to the Ellis County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said they received a call about an "unknown emergency" just before 4:15 a.m. Thursday on Big Sky Drive in Waxahachie.
Upon arriving at the scene, deputies discovered two male victims with gunshot wounds inside the residence.
Christopher Scott Pitre, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim, a 15-year-old boy, was taken to a hospital in critical condition, where he later died.
Deputies said they also found Lemmon suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
Evidence recovered during the investigation gave law enforcement probable cause to believe Lemmon was responsible for shooting both of her children.
Deputies found Lemmon covered in blood with what appeared to be self-inflicted lacerations on her wrists and a handgun nearby, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 4.
Lemmon allegedly told officers, "I shot both my kids."
She was arrested and transported to a local hospital for treatment, authorities said.
Scott Pitre, the boys' father, told NBC 5 that his younger son had recently celebrated his 15th birthday. He said he wants justice for his sons.

Ida Brown, a neighbor, described the killings as "heartbreaking."
"It's heartbreaking, and I'm praying for them," she told FOX 4.
Sheriff Brad Norman offered his condolences to the family.
"My deepest sympathies go out to the victims' father, family members, and loved ones involved in this tragic incident," Norman said in a statement. "They will remain in our prayers during this difficult time."
Lemmon is being held on a $2.5 million bond.
Yankees lose ALDS Game 1 to Rays as Austin Wells is thrown out at third after breaking up no-hitter
Austin Wells turned the New York Yankees’ only hit into their most painful out.
With two outs in the eighth inning and the Yankees trailing by a run, Wells broke up Drew Rasmussen’s no-hit bid with a double down the right-field line. But the catcher tried to stretch the hit into a triple and was easily thrown out, ending New York’s best scoring opportunity in a 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday night.
Rays right fielder Victor Mesa Jr. retrieved the ball and threw to shortstop Taylor Walls, whose relay reached third baseman Junior Caminero well ahead of Wells.

The out prevented Ryan McMahon from coming to the plate with the potential tying run in scoring position and allowed Rasmussen to walk off the mound having completed eight scoreless innings.
Rasmussen limited the Yankees to one hit and two walks while striking out 10 on 101 pitches. He once again tormented a New York lineup he nearly no-hit during Tampa Bay’s division-clinching victory at Yankee Stadium late in the regular season.
Bryan Baker replaced Rasmussen for the ninth and made quick work of the Yankees. Baker struck out pinch hitter Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice before getting Cody Bellinger to ground out, completing the combined one-hitter and giving Tampa Bay a 1-0 series lead.

Jonathan Aranda provided the game’s only run when he drove a Gerrit Cole pitch 417 feet to right-center field in the third inning.
Cole kept the Yankees within striking distance but received no offensive support. The right-hander allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings and 82 pitches.
Ryan Weathers, Paul Blackburn and Brent Headrick combined to hold Tampa Bay hitless over the final three innings, but New York’s lineup never found an answer for Rasmussen.
The shutout represented a dramatic reversal for a Yankees offense that scored 18 runs during its two-game Wild Card Series sweep of the Boston Red Sox. New York was again without captain Aaron Judge, who was left off the ALDS roster as he continues recovering from a right calf strain.
The best-of-five series resumes Monday night at Tropicana Field. Cam Schlittler, who pitched 6⅓ scoreless innings against Boston in the Wild Card Series, is scheduled to start Game 2 for the Yankees.
Trump touts ‘golden age’ at Ohio rally, urges voters to deliver GOP midterm wins
President Donald Trump swept into Ohio Saturday night promoting what he calls a new "golden age" for America, pointing to billions of dollars in investment and new jobs in the Buckeye State as he urged voters to help keep Republicans in power in November.
For the third time in as many nights, Trump rallied supporters outside Dayton for Republicans Sen. Jon Husted and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, casting the midterms as a chance to extend the economic and political gains he said the GOP has delivered since his return to the White House.
And with his own name absent from the ballot, Trump gave voters gathered a simple instruction.
TRUMP CAMPAIGN INSIDER REVEALS STRATEGY BEHIND MIDTERM BLITZ THAT WHITE HOUSE HOPES PAYS OFF BIG
"Just pretend that I’m running," Trump said. "When I run, we win."
Trump, who carried Ohio in all three of his presidential campaigns, later echoed the same message as he sought to rally his political coalition behind Republicans fighting to maintain control of Congress.
"If you don’t mind, please pretend that I’m on the ballot," Trump said. "And you need to turn out for a midterm victory."
The president used much of the rally to make an economic case for the Republican ticket, declaring Ohio is "booming" as he hailed investments he credited to both his trade and tariff policies.
Trump pointed to a $400 million Stellantis investment in Toledo and an $850 million Electra aerospace investment near Springfield.
Weaving in an anecdote about his daily aspirin habit, the president also featured Bayer’s plans for a $2.2 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing campus near Columbus, which the company says will support approximately 600 permanent jobs and 1,500 construction jobs.
"Your state is booming," Trump told the gathered crowd. "Every state is booming."
FIRST DATA CENTER BILL CLEARS HOUSE AS BOTH PARTIES SCRAMBLE FOR ANSWERS ON AFFORDABILITY
Trump credited the investments to his tariff agenda, arguing the U.S. is finally leveling the playing field after years of other countries using tariffs against American products while giving companies a powerful incentive to build at home.
The president also threw his support behind Husted’s Ratepayer Protection Act, legislation aimed at shielding consumers from additional electricity costs associated with data centers.
"We want them," Trump said of data centers. "There’s so much money to be made for Ohio. You can’t just turn them off. They’ll go to China."
Husted brought the legislation to the Senate floor days before the rally, where it failed to advance. President Trump pledged to sign it if Congress can send it to his desk.
TRUMP DEFENDS $5,000 DIVIDEND PROPOSAL, PRAISES 'BEAUTIFUL' TARIFFS ON 'INGRAHAM ANGLE'
"I will sign this Ratepayer Protection Act into law immediately," Trump said.
Trump broadened his victory lap from Ohio to the country as a whole, hailing stock market records, manufacturing growth, investment and employment while contrasting his own administration’s economic record with former President Joe Biden's.
"Our nation is doing better now than ever before," Trump said.
He also praised GOP-backed tax provisions, including no tax on tips and overtime, and reiterated his previously announced proposal for $5,000 payments to adult Americans if Republicans retain the House and Senate.
Trump then shifted to immigration and Springfield, Ohio, dedicating his recitation of the poem "The Snake" to the city that became a national flashpoint during the 2024 presidential campaign over an influx of Haitian nationals into the community.
"I dedicate this to Springfield, Ohio," Trump said. "They went through hell."
After finishing the poem, which the president has long admired as an immigration allegory, he told the crowd, "That’s what happened at our border," before hailing his administration’s immigration crackdown.
The president also briefly touched on Venezuela, claiming the U.S. had more than recouped the costs of its military operation against former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro through the country's vast oil resources.
"We paid for the cost of the war many, many times over," Trump said. "We’re making a fortune with it."
Trump repeatedly weaved the election 31 days away into his remarks, urging Ohioans to support Husted, Ramaswamy and Republican congressional candidates.
He also pitched Ohio as a potential home for the U.S. National Space Academy, citing both the state's aviation history and the Wright brothers.
"If we win the midterms, Ohio will be very, very strongly considered for this," Trump said. "I really want you to go out and vote again for John Husted and for Vivek."
France’s violent student protests raise warning for America: ‘A cautionary tale’
France’s violent student protests are fueling fresh warnings about the consequences of open-border immigration policies, with the unrest being held up as a "cautionary tale" for the U.S.
"I would also say as we’re sitting here in beautiful New York City, this is a cautionary tale," "The Big Weekend Show" co-host Tomi Lahren said Saturday.
She continued: "This is something we’re learning from Europe, and we would be wise to learn from Europe. They decided they wanted to have open borders. They decided they wanted diversity as their strength, and of course, Joe Biden tried that for four years. We’re undoing that currently."
FRANCE'S TEEN RIOTS TAKE EXPLOSIVE NEW TURN AS GOVERNMENT POINTS FINGER AT HARD LEFT
Lahren posited that "when you let so many people come into your country, leech off of your system, then the people who are from there are going to at some point get upset."
She said that anger often becomes misplaced and, "they end up lighting things on fire, which I think is stupid no matter what you’re angry with, but it’s no doubt these countries that say we’re going to be a global home for everybody, they end up paying the price, and it’s usually the native Frenchmen, or whenever they are that end up paying the highest price."
Students in Paris began to protest late last month against what they deemed as overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, long school days and deteriorating conditions, blaming the government for not investing enough in education.
The demonstrations started peacefully in Paris’ poorer suburbs but quickly spread to Paris itself, then went nationwide in cities like Marseille, Strasbourg, Tours, Nantes, Toulouse and Lille, becoming increasingly violent as they expanded.
The protests were also fueled by the government’s 2027 budget unveiling on Thursday, which showed education spending would rise by only 1.7%, excluding teacher pensions, an increase which is below the rate of inflation, Reuters reported.
Rioters have committed arson, vandalism, thrown objects at police and even assaulted people in some cases, prompting authorities to respond with tear gas and rubber bullets.
TENS OF THOUSANDS FLOOD STREETS TO PROTEST SPAIN BORDER CRISIS
More than 5,000 protesters were arrested this week across the country, according to Reuters, and more than 400 schools remained closed as of Friday.
Euronews reported Friday that at least 65 school staff members, including 40 principals, have been injured since the unrest began, along with roughly 170 students.
More than 100 high schools have suffered what Education Minister Édouard Geffray described as "severe damage."
French intelligence agencies told a government crisis meeting Thursday that the protest movement had been initiated by politicians from the hard-left France Unbowed Party, known as LFI, Reuters reported Friday.
LIZ PEEK: ANGRY, AFFLUENT AND ADRIFT — WHAT'S DRIVING SOME YOUNG AMERICANS TO VIOLENCE
LFI has denied the allegations and accused President Emmanuel Macron's government of politicizing the protests ahead of France's 2027 presidential election.
Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, senior envoy to Europe at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the unrest began with legitimate concerns but has since evolved into something far more serious.
"The students’ grievances about missing teachers and deteriorating schools were real at first," Rodan-Benzaquen said. "But dousing a principal in gasoline and attacking firefighters are acts of extreme violence. What makes this politically significant is the effort to turn frustration over schools into a much broader confrontation with the government."

South Carolina football in free fall as Shane Beamer may be out of time with buyout decision looming
Another blown lead, another loss for South Carolina. What has ultimately turned into the story of Gamecocks football over the last two years once again caught up with head coach Shane Beamer on Saturday against Kentucky.
Coming off a thrashing against Alabama last week, which came one week after losing to Mississippi State after holding a 16-0 lead, the dam seems to have officially broken in Columbia on different ways to lose a game.
Leading 17-0 against Kentucky at home, South Carolina fans have grown accustomed to never taking a lead for granted. In this case for those wearing Garnett, it was as if the game was tied 0-0 given past instances of being let down by the results.
And now, after Kentucky beat South Carolina 35-34 in overtime on a two-point conversion to move to 4-1, the chatter throughout the state will only grow louder for the Gamecocks’ athletic department to make a change at head coach.
This was the Gamecocks eighth straight SEC loss, and also their 12th loss against Power-4 opponents in the past 14 games. If the Gamecocks were to fire Shane Beamer before the end of the year, he would be owed an estimated $22.5 million for his departure.
To be fair to Shane Beamer, the program is not getting a return on investment with the money spent on players like LaNorris Sellers or Dylan Stewart, which reportedly hovers above $5 million combined. If anything, the football team has been robbed blind by Stewart, given his lack of production and antics on the field this season, and we just started the month of October.
In hopes of putting an end to any distractions coming off last week's temper-tantrums along the sidelines in Tuscaloosa, Beamer suspended Dylan Stewart indefinitely this week from the program, with the head coach declaring he was the only one making a decision on when the defensive standout could return.
But, it goes deeper than that.
In this era of college athletics, a return on investment for those helping fund these player contracts essentially comes down to whether you make the playoff, or hoist a trophy at season's end. And no, I don't mean the Outback or Gator Bowl trophies.
After a memorable 2024 season that saw the Gamecocks miss out on the college football playoff by just a few spots on the final weekend, the fans have witnessed a program going in the wrong direction.
Finishing 4-8 in 2025, Shane Beamer declared that the national media, and those covering the program on a daily basis, would be changing their tune on the South Carolina program after they put together a 2026 season that would see them competing for both a conference and national title.
"I can one billion percent promise you this... because of the success we're gonna have next season... we're gonna look back at this season and say, 'It sucked going through it, but because of what we went through in '25 it led us to what we just did in '26,'" Beamer said last year.

And, even though we all understood what he was implying this past week, it obviously didn’t sit well with Gamecock fans when he discussed how good of a practice they had following the loss to Alabama.
In reality, Beamer has always been confident that he was the right man to lead South Carolina back to the same statue as they acquired during the 2024 season. But, thanks to injuries, play-calling and some pretty bad luck, the 2026 campaign was crucial for his future.
Now, after the third loss in five games, those who control the payroll and fundraising at South Carolina will have a decision to make on what the future looks like for a program trying not to be forgotten within the SEC.
Obviously, this is going to only create more chaos around the football building, especially when you are out of contention for a conference title before the second weekend of October.
Schools know that they can no longer wait until seasons end to make these decisions, especially when you are trying to sell season tickets for 2027. At the same time, those within the program are already trying to detour players' agents from shopping them to other teams for next year, which has been the case according to multiple sources.
And, it's not just at South Carolina.
Discussions about player retention, the transfer portal, raises and movement are already taking place, and will only increase over the next two months.
So, on the weekend of October 3rd, influential voices around the Gamecocks athletic department are already having to make a decision about 2027.
Like it or not, that's the world we live in now.
For Shane Beamer, his team will face Florida next, before they are due for a much-needed bye week.
We will soon find out what kind of a timeline the South Carolina administration is working on, if a change is going to happen over the next eight days.
Phil Collins gets frank on marriage failures and life regrets: 'I regret my marriages falling apart'
Phil Collins is opening up about his biggest regret throughout the course of his career.
During a recent interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," the 75-year-old musician reflected on the toll his career took on his relationships with his children and how it affected his three marriages.
"To some extent, I have to say I regret my marriages falling apart," he explained. "Sometimes I jumped. Well, one time I jumped, two times I was pushed. But I wouldn't have written it like that. But on the other hand, I've got five fantastic kids that I wouldn't have if that hadn't happened. So I have to balance it."
The famous drummer was married to his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, from 1975 to 1980. Collins adopted Bertorelli's daughter, Joely, and the couple welcomed son Simon.
PHIL COLLINS' BRUSH WITH DEATH LEFT HIS CHILDREN PREPARING FOR THE UNTHINKABLE
He also shares daughter Lily with his second wife, Jill Tavelman, whom he was married to from 1984 to 1996, and sons Nicholas and Mathew with his third wife, Orianne Cevey, whom he was married to from 1999 to 2006.
When looking back on his first marriage, Collins admitted it broke down because he wasn't around, as he was touring with his band, Genesis, and couldn't be home.
"Genesis did, in one year, I think, three American tours, two European tours, and a tour of Japan. And when I ended up getting separated from my first wife, the guys in the band said, ‘Well, why didn’t you tell us? We’d have stopped it.’ But that’s easy to say in retrospect," he said. "I was gone, and we grew apart."
Despite his failure to make his relationships with his wives work, Collins said he "always tried to be there for the kids," and that he never planned on getting married three times, noting, "You don't go into life thinking that."

His daughter Lily, who stars in the hit Netflix series, "Emily in Paris," wrote about her relationship with her father in her 2017 memoir, "Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me."
"I'm learning how to accept your actions and vocalize how they made me feel," she wrote in an excerpt read by Morgan. "I accept and honor the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn't do, did or didn't give me. I forgive you for not always being there when I needed it, for not being the dad I expected. I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it's too late, it's not. There's still so much time to move forward."
The father-daughter duo has managed to put the past behind them, as she shared photos of them celebrating his 75th birthday together in January, writing "Love you to the moon and back again…"
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
In a birthday message to her father, she expressed feeling "grateful" to be able to celebrate the milestone birthday with him, saying she considers herself "lucky to have hugged you, laughed with you, and reminisced with you on such a monumental day."

She also shared a Father's Day tribute to him on her Instagram stories for Father's Day, writing that she is "endlessly grateful for your unconditional love, guidance and support."
Now as a parent, I have a newly found understanding and deeper appreciation for everything you’ve done and continue to do," she wrote. "Tove is lucky to call you Grandpa P."
Lily welcomed her first child, Tove, with her husband, Charlie McDowell, via surrogate in January 2025.
Minnesota quarterback gets kicked in the crotch by teammate en route to upset win over Michigan
All sports have unwritten rules, and one of the biggest in football is never kick your own quarterback in the crotch.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s intentional or accidental during the throes of celebration: You just don’t do it.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers did not abide by this, but still managed to take a huge win over Michigan on Saturday afternoon.
CRAZIEST UPSET OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON HAPPENED ON FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP
Last week, Minnesota beat Washington 27-24, a win that led to a euphoric PJ Fleck smearing a player's blood on his own face, and this week they welcomed the Wolverines to Huntington Bank Stadium.
However, during the game, things got a little rough for QB Drake Lindsey.
The Gophers had just secured a first down, and offensive lineman Bennett Warren was fired up about it.
Understandable, but the issue was that he didn't make sure the airspace was clear before performing a celebratory kick.
A kick that landed straight to Lindsey's groin.

Between this and the aforementioned blood-smearing incident, the Gophers may need to take a look in the mirror when it comes to celebrations.
These are getting out of hand.
I didn't think there was anywhere to go after the blood-smearing, but then here they go, kicking their QB in the nards, and now I have no clue where this goes.
At this rate, they could end up going all Texas on everyone and just let 'er rip.
Fortunately, they did stick the dismount on their last celebration of the afternoon, when they stormed the field to celebrate the Gophers' 20-14 win after coming into the game as 8.5-point underdogs.
Next weekend, the 4-1 Gophers will head to West Lafayette to take on the Purdue Boilermakers.
If they win? Well, buckle up.
And perhaps wear a cup.
