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.

Cornell's president said his school's administration "must do better" amid the criticism of its investigation into allegations made by a former student​ that she was gang-raped at a fraternity​ in 2024.

After highs of 28C in the final week of September, cooler air will arrive this week with temperatures falling closer to the seasonal norm.

Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is seeking to extend his hold on power through a parliamentary vote.

Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff said Saturday that the institution "must do better" as it faces questions over its response to sexual assault allegations involving seven former fraternity brothers.

"What happened to Jane Doe in 2024 is deeply disturbing and will weigh heavily on our community for years to come. My heart aches when I think of what she experienced," Kotlikoff said in a video statement to the Cornell community.

Kotlikoff said the case raises questions about sexual assault, campus party culture, alcohol and drug abuse on the Ithaca, New York, campus, as well as the investigation conducted after the allegations were reported.

"I want to acknowledge something that can be difficult for an institution to say we don't have all the answers, but we are committed to investigating and finding the answers our community deserves. I believe we as an administration, and we as a community must do better," Kotlikoff said.

INSIDE EXPLOSIVE CORNELL RAPE ALLEGATIONS: 7 MEN ACCUSED, CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS AND A POLITICAL FIRESTORM

Kotlikoff welcomed an independent review by an outside law firm into Cornell's handling of the case and said the university supports Gov. Kathy Hochul's decision to turn the criminal investigation over to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

He said Cornell would not wait for those reviews to conclude before making changes to prevention and education, student support, mental health and substance use resources and investigative processes.

"We will act," Kotlikoff said.

Jane Doe alleges in a lawsuit that seven former Chi Phi fraternity brothers drugged and sexually assaulted her during an October 2024 night at the fraternity house. Doe was a 20-year-old Cornell undergraduate at the time.

CORNELL RAPE ALLEGATIONS PROMPT NY ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TO OPEN ‘ACTIVE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION’

The men have denied wrongdoing, with some maintaining the sexual activity was consensual and others denying they participated. No criminal charges have been filed against the seven men.

Doe filed a 101-page lawsuit last month accusing the former fraternity members of sexual assault and rape and naming Cornell and other entities.

The case came under renewed scrutiny after Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said his office had not received the full transcript of Doe's November 2024 interview with Cornell University Police before prosecutors initially declined to pursue charges.

Van Houten reopened the investigation before Hochul appointed the Office of the Attorney General as special prosecutor. James said Friday that her office was conducting an "active criminal investigation."

CORNELL SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE REVIVES SCRUTINY OF A LITTLE-KNOWN NEW YORK LAW ON INTOXICATED VICTIMS

Kotlikoff also addressed frustration over Cornell's communication about its response to the allegations and said the university would make a greater effort to be transparent.

"There are real legal and privacy limits on what we can say, but we will make a greater effort to explain what we can to provide context about the actions Cornell has taken and to be more transparent," Kotlikoff said.

Kotlikoff said Cornell would also reexamine the role of fraternities and sororities on campus and support efforts to change New York's sexual assault laws.

"You have my commitment that this will not be a moment that passes," Kotlikoff said.

New York film festival: Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti and Tatiana Maslany lead an excellent ensemble in this dramatization of a failed conference on climate change

In late October 1980, days before the election of Ronald Reagan, Congress summoned 20 experts in various fields to a beachfront hotel in Florida. Their mandate was simple: figure out how to address the dire threat posed to the climate by fossil fuel emissions, then deliver their recommendations to Congress in the form of a statement.

Every word said during four marathon sessions over the next 36 hours – every disagreement or digression, tirade or truce – was recorded by a stenographer for posterity into a single document, hundreds of pages long, that stands as an artifact from a time when expertise was trusted, before corporate greed and political expediency mired “debate” about rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere in a haze of misinformation and inaction. The fact that this meeting took place at all – that experts in climate, energy, law, philosophy, politics and more agreed on the fundamental facts, yet struggled to reach consensus on what to do about them – is fascinating, if perhaps not the most natural fit for a movie. This was, after all, a conference room of specialists sharing evidence via overhead projector.

United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was in Colorado Springs to take in the Air Force Falcons and Navy Midshipmen football game, but he also took time to show off some pretty impressive athletic skills.

It turns out that the Secretary of War can ball, and he sank an impressive series of three-pointers.

Hegseth was on the Air Force Academy's court in Clune Arena when he uncorked ten three-point attempts from the top of the arc and drilled all but one of them.

TRUMP SAYS HE WILL ATTEND ALABAMA VS GEORGIA COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME AT BRYANT-DENNY STADIUM

He must be an absolute menace in Pop-A-Shot down at Dave & Buster's.

Imagine if international disputes were settled with three-point shooting competitions or games of Horse?

Every other nation would think twice when dealing with us, knowing that Sec. Hegseth can uncork a Caitlin Clark-like shot from the logo if he has to.

While he missed one, Sec. Hegseth clearly found a groove and was on autopilot through most of that impressive performance.

Of course, Hegseth was not there to show off his skills when it comes to shooting from range; he was at the Air Force Academy to speak to cadets ahead of the Falcons-Midshipmen game on Saturday afternoon.

Just before kickoff, the Secretary of War was down on the field for the coin toss.

AIR FORCE ATHLETES CHASING OLYMPIC DREAMS IN BETWEEN SERVING THE NATION IN A CRITICAL TIME

Air Force wound up winning this one 14-9 to go 3-1 on the season.

They'll visit Northern Illinois next weekend while the Midshipmen — who dropped to 1-3 — will head home to host Tulsa.
