  18-01-2026 05:29 via ocregister.com

  LOS ANGELES — The number of Purdue fans in Galen Center on Saturday afternoon overpowered their USC hosts. They drowned out in-game host DJ Mal-ski during his introduction and chanted over the Trojans’ player intro video.
  The Boilermakers were in L.A. for the first time since December 1972 and were brimming with anticipation of possibly witnessing the program’s 1,000th win.

  It’s easy to forget, given the number of times that Southern California NFL teams have headed into the frigid climes of the North for postseason games only to have their championship hopes shoved into the deep freeze.
  (Trust me, we’ll address those.)
  But when the Rams ventured into Soldier Field 40 years ago this week for the NFC championship game, what turned out to be another lost postseason Sunday wasn’t a result of the frost. It was the wind.

With temperatures expected to hover around 20 degrees at kickoff with winds up to 17 mph off Lake Michigan, would the Rams be able to move the ball and score the way they have been accustomed to in this 2025 season?

  The USC women’s basketball team will face a Purdue team that is quickly gaining momentum on Sunday afternoon.
  Shutting down the Boilermakers would end a four-game slide, and give the Trojans an edge in the Big Ten standings. The Trojans and Boilermakers are both 2-4 in conference play.
  Purdue (10-7 overall, 2-4 Big Ten) lost its first four games of Big Ten play but beat Wisconsin on the road and then took down Washington, which was ranked No. 23 at the time, in overtime.

• UCLA’s Kiki Rice takes next step in her senior season

  LOS ANGELES — Kiki Rice has always been mild-mannered in front of the media, unafraid to honestly analyze what has and hasn’t worked in her first three years as a Bruin.
  The antithesis of such an approach would be aggressive; the type of basketball that Coach Cori Close has wanted the senior guard to embrace, the intense off- and on-ball defense with physical and confident shot-making – knowing the WNBA is watching No. 3 UCLA (16-1 overall, 6-0 Big Ten) with an eagle’s ey

• Susan Shelley: The Supreme Court could make election night great again

  17-01-2026 16:30 via ocregister.com
  
  California counts votes very slowly. While many other states and even other countries can tally ballots and report totals on election night, Californians have become accustomed to waiting an entire month before the winner is known in close races.
  One reason for this is a state law that requires all 58 counties to accept late-arriving mail ballots for seven days after the polls close. But that could be about to change.
  Federal law (2 U.S. Code Section 7) states that there is one “day for th

  Q: After the rain, I’ve been seeing mushrooms popping up in my lawn. Are they harmful? If so, how do I get rid of them?
  Mushrooms are a normal sight after cool, rainy weather. In fact, their presence indicates that your soil contains lots of organic matter (which is a good thing). Healthy soil contains a huge variety of organisms, including fungi, that feed on decaying organic material. The fungi are always present, but if there’s moisture, they will produce fruiting bodies (mushroom
