3+ hour, 57+ min ago (527+ words) The Billings school district is firming up plans to revamp Daylis Stadium, unveiling a new $10.5 million design. Safety concerns forced officials to close the west concrete stands for 2024 football season. The home and visiting fans, along with students, are on the same side of the field in the east bleachers, and the bands are in the end zones. It was a different feeling for Billings West High School cheerleaders during the crosstown game against Senior High School last Friday night. "It's just different not having the full big grandstand, and Daylis and kind of known for that," said Tayler Schlehuber, West High head cheer coach. "You walk into the stadium and it just feels almost empty because you look out and you don't see anyone. So it just kind of feels a little like a ghost town." Schlehuber says while…...

12+ hour, 10+ min ago (695+ words) FAYETTEVILLE -- In a crowd of hundreds at Thursday's welcoming ceremony for University of Arkansas football Coach Ryan Silverfield, perhaps nobody understood his coaching mind better than Grant Cook. Cook, an Arkansas offensive lineman from 2007-11, briefly overlapped with Silverfield when the latter was an assistant offensive line coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2011-13. "We spent a lot of time at a picnic table outside of the dorm rooms that we stayed in when we were in camp, trying to learn a playbook," said Cook, seated inside the Walker Pavilion. "He was trying to teach me that playbook. So, we sat at that picnic table about every night together." It's not unusual for NFL teams to live on college campuses for training camp, Cook said, and the table belonged to Minnesota State University. Cook lives in Fayetteville and works for a nearby…...

It's an easy mistake to make, because when skinned, bear paws look enough like human hands to be "creepy." A freaky-looking severed "human hand" reportedly found at the Park County dump turned out to be a skinned bear paw " but it was an easy mistake to make." Skinned bear paws look enough like human hands to be "creepy," Owen Miller, a bear hunter from northeast Wyoming, told Cowboy State Daily.
