Epic collapse: Stanford stuns Colorado football

 

 

BOULDER – A Friday night party in Boulder turned into an epic Colorado collapse.

Stanford erased a 29-point halftime deficit, scoring on every second-half possession and hitting a game-tying field goal on the final play of regulation before stunning CU in a wild 46-43 double-overtime win at Folsom Field.

 

 

Epic collapse: Stanford Dazes Colorado football 

 

The Cardinal picked off Shedeur Sanders in the second overtime and walked it off moments later on Joshua Karty’s 31-yard field goal.

Stanford turned a 29-0 snoozer into an instant classic. The visitors scored on all seven possessions after halftime and spoiled CU star Travis Hunter’s productive return from injury.

“They were resilient,” said Colorado coach Deion Sanders. “Big win for them, horrible loss for us.”

 

 

 

 

 

Cardinal QB Ashton Daniels shredded the Buffs’ defense. He finished with four touchdowns and 396 yards — all but 35 of them after halftime.

Daniels led a 70-yard drive in the final three minutes, setting Karty up to hit a 46-yarder at the regulation buzzer.

The teams traded touchdowns in overtime, including Elic Ayomanor’s ridiculous over-Travis-Hunter’s-shoulder TD catch to keep Stanford in it.

 

 

 

 

The Buffaloes (4-3, 1-3 Pac 12) got to the 1-yard-line in the second overtime but went backwards on second down before a scrambling Sanders threw a floater up for grabs while retreating from pressure.

Stanford didn’t push its luck in the second OT, getting one first down before booting the game-winner.

 

 

It set off a raucous after-midnight celebration for Stanford, which had been left for dead after a 1-4 start and the 29-point deficit but pulled off the biggest comeback in program history.

The Cardinal (2-4, 1-3 Pac 12) partied as a stunned Folsom Field crowd – one that had thinned significantly from its sold-out zenith of 53,134 – filed out in a funeral-like procession.

 

 

 

It was the biggest blown lead in Colorado football history and the largest since a Nov. 6, 2010 loss to Kansas, when the Buffs led 28-3 before losing 52-45.

“From youth football on, I don’t remember being up 29-0 and losing a football game,” Deion Sanders said. “This is really tough for me, tough for all of us.”

From Dumbbells to DMs: Nigerian Gyms Evolve into Social Hotspots

The Gym Love Triangle: Fitness, Fashion, and Flirtation in Lagos

 

In the age of fitness influencers, athleisure fashion, and Instagram-worthy workouts, Nigeria’s gym culture is booming. But beneath the sculpted abs and protein shakes lies a more complicated narrative: the gym as a new social playground—and sometimes, a romantic battleground.

From Ikeja to Festac and down to the bustling gyms in Ajah, what was once a space solely for sweat and stamina has evolved into something of a social experiment.

“People are using gyms to hook up,” says Folarin Adekoya, a regular gym-goer in Ikeja. “Some women come in wearing provocative outfits, and it’s not just distracting—it raises questions about their intentions.”

While the body goals are still a priority for many, others are raising eyebrows—and smartphones—as selfies, flirtation, and full-blown relationships begin to rival reps and routines.

“I Came to Lift, Not to Love”

Jason Onwuka, who trains regularly in Festac, says he’s seen it all.

“You have people who are here more for the vibe than the workouts. They spend more time talking and laughing than lifting weights,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He admits, however, that as society grows more individualistic, gyms have emerged as safe, neutral grounds for forming new connections.

“People are lonely. The gym is now a space to find friends, romance, and a sense of belonging,” he said. “But at the end of the day, it’s on you to stay focused.”

“Indecent Dressing Could Get Girls Banned” – Teddy A Warns

The debate recently went viral when Teddy A, a former Big Brother Naija star, posted a video lamenting what he called “indecent dressing at the gym.”

“We don’t want them to start banning girls from gyms because of indecent dressing,” he said in a video that triggered a flurry of reactions online.

While some praised his candour, others blasted his remarks as misogynistic and controlling, igniting fresh debates over dress codes, freedom of expression, and the sexual politics of the gym floor.

Fitness Centre Managers Respond

A gym manager in Ajah, who requested anonymity, told NAN that they’ve had to lay down the law to maintain order and respect.

“We’ve introduced dress guidelines and behaviour protocols. Still, people come to mingle, and as long as no one’s workout is disrupted, we don’t interfere,” he said.

He admitted that while some gym-goers blur the lines, many—especially professional women—come solely for fitness.

“They wear functional gear. Not everyone’s here for attention,” he added.

A Culture in Transition

As Nigeria’s middle class expands and wellness trends grow, gyms are no longer just places to burn calories—they’re becoming microcosms of urban life, where health, identity, and social dynamics all intersect.

But the question remains: Are gyms still sacred spaces for self-improvement—or just another scene for subtle seduction?

For now, the battle between body goals and “boo goals” continues to play out between the dumbbells and the dance bikes, one rep—and one DM—at a time.
