HBO’s Westworld concluded its second season on Sunday, June 24, 2018.

The hit drama series, which originally premiered on first season on October 2, 2016, did not return for its second season until April 22, 2018. Each of the first two seasons has consisted of 10 episodes.

The show’s production is on the same scale as a Game Of Thrones type hit, so production of a 10-episode season takes some time.

While a third season has been confirmed, an exact release date has not been announced. Assuming production of the third season takes as long as the second season, the show should be expected to premiere sometime in late 2019 or early 2020.

Westworld Season 3 Premiere Date: Late 2019 or Early 2020

While no official release date has been announced, the new season of Westworld can be expected to premiere sometime in late 2019 or early 2020.

Jonathan Nolan, one of the show’s creators, suggested to EW that the third season of Westworld won’t debut until 2020.

via EW

EW: “You said 18 months. The first season debuted in 2016. Do you expect to not return with season 3 until 2020?”

NOLAN: It’s an ongoing conversation with our friends at HBO, and for us, with a show of this scope and scale, we’re not interested in doing the compromised version. We want the show to get bigger and bigger and more ambitious and this takes time. We want to take all the time we need to get it right.

Westworld is an American science fiction western television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy and produced by HBO.

The show, which is based on the 1973 film of the same name, takes place in Westworld, a technologically advanced Wild-West-themed amusement park populated by “hosts”. “Hosts” are androids that are made to look, think, and feel like human beings.

The park caters to high-paying “guests” who may indulge their wildest fantasies within the park without fear of retaliation from the hosts, who are prevented by their programming from harming humans.

The show stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, James Marsden, Jeffrey Wright, and more.

Westworld Season 2 Finale: Timelines & Must-See Details

HBO

In case you’re a host and don’t understand the nature of the reality of this article, spoilers for the season two finale of Westworld are below this GIF:

Okay, so now that we’ve done the obligatory spoiler warning, let’s get to it.

Westworld’s epic second season came to a close with the 90-minute long episode “The Passenger.” The episode — the 10th of the season and 20th in the series — tied up most of the storylines that had taken form over the first two seasons and killed off numerous characters such as … SPOILER WARNING AGAIN … Elsie, Lee, and Maeve.

But after the credits rolled, the HBO smash hit took a page out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe playbook and squeezed in a post-credit scene involving the none other than the Man in Black.

The Man in Black (AKA William) is seen making his way down to the depths of one of the park’s facilities, still nursing his right hand which just had a couple of fingers blown off thanks to Dolores. To his surprise, he finds a finely dressed version of his daughter Emily waiting for him.

William immediately assumes his consciousness has been uploaded to the Cradle (or “the thing” as he calls it): the place where Ford’s consciousness was living after he died.  However, Emily, or at least the projection of her,  assures him that he is not in a simulation and that he is in what’s left of “his world”.

Emily leads William to a room that is identical to the one that James Delos was being held in and starts asking him questions such as where he is and how long he’s been there. Emily continues to ask William various questions before he asks “how many times” they’ve tested him.

“It’s been a long time, William, longer than we thought,” Emily responds.

Finally, Emily says she must ask a couple more questions to “verify.”

“Verify what?”, the Man in Black wonders, to which Emily responds … “Fidelity.”

So what’s this all mean?

Well, it means that William has been put through the same process we saw him putting James Delos through, i.e., trying to upload their conscious to a host’s “body” and effectively make them immortal.

It means that the Man in Black has been a host for some time, possibly as long as we’ve known him.  It means that William died a long time ago and we don’t know how. It means that the Man in Black himself didn’t even know he was dead.

It means that, as usual, Westworld is confusing as ever and we cannot wait for it to return.

Police are investigating a situation taking place Sunday evening in Missoula in which a shooting is believed to have taken place near Sentinel High School, with two people found lying in a parking lot. Despite the time and date, students actually were at the school due to an open gym night.

What happened?

According to The Missoulian, both victims appeared to be juveniles and were taken to a nearby hospital; both victims were said to be in surgery by Sunday evening.

Officers with rifles and a K9 were in the area to investigate and were looking for both a suspect and a weapon.

At this time, authorities do not believe that the suspect is a threat to the public at large but were still cautious about the situation. That said, officials have also asked people to avoid the area around the school, which were being used as fairgrounds at the time of the incident, and the area around the local Playfair Park, Bancroft and Russell streets.

Students were at the school during the time the shooting was first reported

Despite taking place on Sunday evening, students were said to be at the school due to an open gym night; these students were eventually sent home with their families by officials.

On Twitter, NBC Montana issued the following updates concerning the school being placed on lockdown during the incident; the posts said that the event taking place at the school was a basketball practice session, which was likely part of the open gym night:

“UPDATE: Parent says about 20 students are on lockdown inside Sentinel High School after reported shooting in Missoula. They were there for basketball practice.”

“UPDATE: A man shot two juveniles near the Sentinel High School gymnasium. They’re currently in surgery. Police are searching a large area for the armed suspect.”

“UPDATE: Parent says police escorted Sentinel basketball players out of school safely.”

As mentioned above, the posts also claimed that the school was placed on lockdown because of the incident.

As this story is developing, more information will be updated as made available.

The Valley Beyond

Youtube/HBO

As the two timelines come together, Bernard reaches the point where we found him in the season 2 premiere episode: the valley. Dolores rides off from the host corpse of her beloved Teddy and right into the Man in Black, digging into his own arm, stops to Dolores’s voice, “I guess you’re beginning to question the nature of your reality.” She needs him and his tenacity to help her get to the valley beyond so the two enemies ride off together to solve the puzzle of their reality.

The two reach Bernard at the edge of the valley, while Dolores tells William that Bernard is the man he’s been looking to find all along, William is passed that though as he unloads his clip into her. She doesn’t even flinch. She was built to survive she tells him. Dolores and Bernard leave him in the sand and they walk through the door together.

I Went Ahead And Saved Myself

Youtube/HBO

Back in the sadistic Delos lab, looks like Ford gave Maeve a jump start when he kissed her last week as she rebooted all the hosts around her to stop her from being disassembled limb by limb. They begin to help repair Maeve while Hector and their host posse come to her rescue. Watching mechanical bulls mutilate people wasn’t something I knew I needed to see in my life, but it was beyond satisfying. After the shock of the lab takedown… Sizemore, Hector and the gang turn around to see a very much alive Maeve, greeting them in her fashion, “You were both a bit late so I went ahead and saved myself.” I am team Maeve all the way, just rename the show Maeve-world at this point.

Meanwhile, Akecheta is leading a mass migration of everyone in Ghost Nation along with Maeve’s daughter and accompanying hosts on an exodus to the valley beyond. Maeve and her squad get out of the corporate confines and ride into the park eager to reach Akecheta and her daughter. While a ground patrol squad of Delos security pulls up around them, Sizemore stops Hector from carrying out the dying narrative he wrote – Sizemore takes his place and sacrifices himself for Maeve’s cause.

Mankind’s Undoing

Youtube/HBO

In the future timeline: back in the park – the underground forge I should say – Charlotte Hale and the top Delos douchebags are bringing a captured Bernard there for some intense questioning regarding the events that flooded the valley in the first episode this season. There’s also a seemingly dead body on the floor of the forge that to no one’s surprise (I would have to think at this point) is Dolores.

Back in Bernard’s memories in the past timeline: Dolores and Bernard access the control unit to see exactly what the baseline of park-code is that Jim Delos built the park around. They basically take a tour of Jim Delos’s mind, but that isn’t the goal, Dolores is after learning how to access the system itself. Bernard tells her this place was never designed for a conscious mind. Needless to say, that’s what drove Jim Delos insane.

They run into a familiar face… Logan. Not the real Logan, the Logan manifested in his father’s memory. Logan became his father Jim’s cornerstone. Logan became the control.

Logan Delos is the system controlling Westworld. He was tasked with building perfect copies of the guests. He shows Bernard and Dolores the last conversation Logan and his father ever had before he overdosed. Logan explains that the copy hosts didn’t fail because they were too simple, but because they were too complicated. Maybe… don’t try to replicate consciousness in the first place?

That Which Is Real, Is Irreplaceable

Youtube/HBO

Logan tells Bernard that by entering the forge with him, it has already begun. The hosts will leave their bodies behind and their minds will live on in the forge, inside the system. A crack appears inside the park as all the groups we’ve been following converge upon its fracture. They all begin to enter the system and leave their bodies behind.

Dolores is not happy. She wants the real world, not another false promise. She exits the memory control unit with Bernard and opens the floodgate to what she believes is another gilded cage. “No world they create for us can compare to the real one.” Dolores is on an all or nothing rage. She doesn’t want the choice for everyone to be free. She doesn’t want more stories. She wants to destroy it all. Bernard tells her he won’t let her hurt more people, he tells her he believes she would kill every last person if she had the chance. Bernard lifts his gun to her head and right before he pulls the trigger, says the thing we’ve all been thinking this entire season: “This isn’t a dream Dolores, this is a fucking nightmare.”

Game over?

Take My Heart With You

Youtube/HBO

Right when everything inside the park was going so well, Hale unleashes the now matrix-style super powered Clementine. She rides in and the peaceful host migration to safety becomes a shootout. They manage to shoot her down, but the virus in her mind has already spread to other hosts. Amidst the chaos, Maeve finds her daughter. She signals to Akecheta to take the girl and her new host mother to safety and he does. Maeve finally got the story she always dreamed of: protecting the one she loved.

While the valley beyond frees the minds of the hosts so they can live forever, not all our hosts made it through the gateway. Bernard cancels the data purge of all the hosts so we can only speculate what actually happens to those left inside the park or those who have had their mind freed and uploaded to the cloud. Bernard takes the control unit encryption key and prepares to exit the forge as it begins to flood. He walks upon the broken host bodies, no longer necessary now that their consciousness has been uploaded and in a sense, freed. However, Bernard tells Elsie, “they all died for nothing.”

The Passenger

Youtube/HBO

Back at the Delos Mesa, Elsie tells Bernard she hasn’t ‘outed’ him for being a host yet but they need to come to some type of deal. Too bad Hale has zero regard for life – host or human – so when sweet little Elsie tries to talk to Hale about what the hell happened in the robot uprising, Hale just shoots her dead. One less variable in the code.

Now syncing up with the present time, Bernard being captured by Hale, he confesses Dolores was right and now all the hosts are gone. Ford is like the devil, speak his name and he appears. As Ford tells Bernard, it was never the humans who were perfect, it was the hosts. Humans are just the passenger in this world. Ford asks Bernard if he wishes for his kind to survive. Bernard tells him yes. Ford replies, “I’ve already begun.”

This entire season has been based on one singular choice made by Bernard: to kill all the humans. He scrambled his memories to make sure his choice could not be taken back. He made a host ensuring that his plan would survive… he brought her back… DOLORES IS CHARLOTTE HALE THE HOST. Dolores/Hale takes the control unit of all the hosts and changes the coordinates to extract the data to a place no one, not even Delos can find it. However, there’s no way out for Bernard, he takes the bullet in the head from Dolores/Hale’s gun and drifts to a place beyond time.

Bernard, now inside his memories, tells Ford he isn’t safe having him part of his mind. The only way to be safe is to purge himself completely. “Maybe someday we will meet again,” Ford says to Bernard as he drifts away and Bernard allows the water to swallow him. Too bad Bernard built a failsafe for his own death as well.

Dolores/Hale gets what she always wanted… to have a human identity and ability to finally leave the park. The Man in Black survived and some of the best hosts were destroyed in the fallout, their bodies collected on the beach by Delos. Felix is tasked with salvaging the hosts on the beach, his eye turns to Maeve, the first host he ever helped, and agrees he’s up to the task. We won’t be seeing the last of her.

Ford completed Arnold’s dream. Hale’s body carries both Dolores and Bernard inside her. The three hosts are free. Hale brought them to the house Arnold built. Dolores tells Bernard they will never agree, but their kind will survive. “You live as long as the last person who remembers you.”

William has been a host all along.

Additional shock: Stubbs has also been a host, further clarified in his final exchange with Dolores/Charlotte on the beach permitting her to leave.

And with that, a new species walks among us.

Camila Mendes is the legend who plays the iconic rich mean girl Veronica Lodge, who steals the heart of the one and only Archie Andrews on the hit CW show Riverdale. She’s just starting out in the entertainment industry, making a name for herself at the age of twenty-three! Let’s see how much Camila has made so far on her journey to stardom and how far she will have to go to reach the wealthy status of her beloved bad girl character Veronica Lodge.

Camila Mendes 2018 Net Worth: 3 Million

Early Life:

Camila Mendes was born on June 29th, 1994 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Both of Mendes’ parents Victor and Gisele are of Brazilian descent. Her moth Gisele is from Porto Alegre, the Rio Grande do Sul and her father Victor is from Brasilia, Federal District. Camila herself is a mix of Portuguese-Brazilian and Italian-Brazilian background.

Mendes has spent much of her life moving, totaling sixteen times while she was growing up. Camila spent a good part of her childhood in Flordia. When she was ten her family headed back to Brazil for a year. During this time she really focused on her passions which were acting and just being in the spotlight in general.

Once Camila completed her high school in the United States she enrolled in New York University Tisch School of Arts. Mendes completed her arts program in May 2016. Camila’s first acting debut was in an IKEA commercial.

2016-2018

In 2016, Camila Mendes struck her first golden acting opportunity when she was cast as one of the female leads in the CW show Riverdale. She would be playing the cunning, sassy and beautiful Veronica Lodge the iconic rich girl who just moved to Riverdale. The hit show Riverdale, originally based off Archie’s comic series would have a much darker twist to it. The main cast of high school sophomores was going to deal with a lot more than just schoolwork, cheer practice and boy drama. Murder, suspense, darkness and forbidden romance were going to make this series irresistible to any audience.

Camila’s love interest on the show would be the one and only Archie Andrews, played by the New Zealand native KJ Apa. Mendes had no problem fully getting into character as she impressed her inner mean girl playing Veronica Lodge. In the first season, you find her in a love triangle of epic proportions. When she and her best friend Betty Cooper are both vying for Archie Andrews. As the season finishes out her and Betty both get the happy endings they deserve. While Veronica gets her way with Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper falls for Jughead Jones.

Mendes’ has said she loves how complex Veronica is as a character. She isn’t just the stereotypical mean girl with money. She has baggage to unpack and who better to do that with her than the boy next door Archie Andrews.

While on hiatus before filming season three of Riverdale, Mendes was cast in two films. The New Romantic and The Stand-In, I can’t wait to see her on the big screen! Riverdale will begin shooting its third season in July! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead and the rest of the gang!

Jessica “Jessie” Diggins is an American cross-country skier who won the United States’ first-ever cross-country skiing gold medal at the Winter Olympics in women’s team sprint at Pyeongchang in 2018.

Diggins was born on August 26, 1991, in St. Paul, Minnesota. She grew up in Afton, Minnesota, where she began skiing at age 4. In 1999, Diggins graduated from Stillwater High School.

She was on the United States cross-country ski team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. At the 2018 Winter Olympics, Diggins and Kikkan Randall became the first American cross-country skiers to win a gold medal by winning the women’s team sprint at the Alpensia Cross-Country Centre. At the end of the 2018 Winter Olympic games, she was chosen as the flag bearer for the United States at the closing ceremony.

Diggins was one of the stars of the 2018 ESPN Magazine Body Issue. Diggins said of her appearance:

“I never thought I’d do the ESPN Body Issue …but that’s also because at one point in my life, I never thought I’d have the self-confidence to love myself and truly believe that who I am is good enough. I am perfectly imperfect, and beautifully flawed. And before you judge, there’s a blog post about my journey to positive body image that you really should read (link in bio). Love your body for the kick-ass things it can do, not for what it looks like.”

In these divided times, there is perhaps only one force that can bring Americans together on our day of independence: alcohol. Nothing haphazardly screams “U.S.A.” more than getting wasted covered head-to-toe in our stars and stripes, so we found some drinks to match. Here are the most patriotic ways to upchuck all the barbeque you eat this 4th of July.

Spiked Popsicles

This is always a go-to move: Fla-Vor-Ice freezer pops are like $5 in bulk at Price Chopper, they taste like vague childhood memories, and no matter how much alcohol you slip in they still look inconspicuous af.

If you’re trash like me, you might just eat a third of a pop and fill the rest of the tube up with whatever liquor is within arms reach. But for those who aspire to not spill corn syrup and Svedka all over themselves, you can fill and seal these popular ice pop molds with whatever boozy concoction you choose.

Not even being sarcastic. If you can pull yourself together and make this drink, you have graduated into adulthood.

Richard Harrison, known as “Old Man” on the History Channel reality series Pawn Stars, has died at 77-years-old.

Richard’s son Rick Harrison said in a statement that he “passed away this morning surrounded by those he loved. “He will be tremendously missed by our family, the team at Gold & Silver Pawn and his many fans the world over,” the statement read.

Pawn Stars is an American reality television series filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show, which premiered on July 26, 2009, follows the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.

The World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is a 24-hour family business opened in 1989.  It was operated by Richard “Old Man” Harrison (prior to his death), his son Rick Harrison, Rick’s son Corey Harrison, and Corey’s childhood friend, Austin Russell.

Pawn Stars, which has been on the air since 2009, shows the staff interacting with customers who bring in various of artifacts to sell or pawn. The staff and the customers are shown haggling over the price of the artifact while discussing its historical background. The narration of the show is usually provided by either the Harrisons or Chumlee.

Harrison was a veteran of the United States Navy.

You can read the full statement from Rick Harrison below:

“It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Richard Benjamin Harrison (known as ‘The Old Man’ to ‘Pawn Stars’ fans the world over) this morning. He was surrounded by loving family this past weekend and went peacefully.

The team at Gold & Silver Pawn and the Pawn Stars family is grieving his loss. He will be remembered as the best father, grandfather and great-grandfather you could have by his family and by fans as the sometimes grumpy (always loving, however), often wisecracking, and voice of absolute reason on the History television show ‘Pawn Stars’. Services are pending and the family appreciates your prayers and kind words.”

Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr. is an American businessman and reality television personality, best known as the co-owner of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop featured on the History Channel series Pawn Stars, where he was known by the aliases “The Old Man” and “The Appraiser.” Let’s take a look at his life over the years, starting with his net worth!

Richard Harrison Net Worth: $5 Million

Richard Harrison’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million. Let’s take a look at his life and career over the years to see how he came so far.

The Early Years

Harrison was born in Danville, Virginia, and grew up in North Carolina. He attended Lexington High School, but ultimately left during his junior year. In order to help earn money for his family, Harrison drove a school bus when he was just 14 years old, earning around five to six dollars a week. During an incident in the late 1950’s, Harrison stole a car and enlisted in the military to avoid prison time, per an offer made by the judge; he later left the Navy in 1962 but re-enlisted a little over a year later to obtain health care benefits. Ultimately, he ended up serving in the U.S. Navy for 20 years.

1981-2008

In 1981, Harrison moved his family to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he opened the Gold & Silver Coin Shop with his son Rick, relocating the business to a larger building around five years later. After the business lease expired in 1988, the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop at 713 Las Vegas Boulevard South would open up the following year.

2009-Present

Starting in 2009, Harrison, his son Rick, grandson Richard Corey and co-worker Austin “Chumlee” Russell were the focus of the History Channel reality series Pawn Stars. Nearly a month after the show premiered, it quickly became the highest rated program on the network and the second highest rated reality show program at the time, behind Jersey Shore. The show’s popularity also proved good for business, as the store gradually started to get thousands of daily customers. In June 2018, Harrison passed away at the age of 77.

Kevin Alvarez has been arrested and charged for the grizzly murder of 15-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz in the Bronx, New York. Alvarez has been charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, gang assault and assault. Four other suspects have been arrested by the New York Police Department but have yet to be charged.

Guzman-Feliz, just 15 years old, was brutally stabbed to death outside of the Zesarina Grocery located on East 183rd Street in the Belmont section of the Bronx on Tuesday, June 19.

According to witnesses, Guzman-Feliz got slashed in the neck with a machete as a result of the fight. He attempted to run to St. Barnabas hospital which was just a block away, collapsed on the sidewalk on the way.

Investigators said Guzman-Feliz’s dying words were that he needed some water.

via NBC New York:

The NYPD released photos of five suspects after 15-year-old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz was stabbed in the neck in front of a bodega in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx on Wednesday. Police in Paterson, New Jersey, meanwhile, have taken an unspecified number of people into custody in connection with the stabbing, the department said.

“The department has identified multiple suspects and is in the process of interviewing some of them at this time,” the NYPD said in a statement. “Initial arrests have been made, and more are anticipated.”

“The NYPD thanks the public for the outpouring of tips in this case, and encourages people to continue to come forward if they have information to share,” it added. Police sources initially said that two people were in custody in connection with Guzman-Feliz’ death.

Guzman-Feliz, known to his friends as Junior, was part of the NYPD’s Law Enforcement Explorers program.

The gang that killed Guzman-Feliz say it was a case of mistaken identity. A relative of Guzman-Feliz’s said an alleged gang member sent an apology to them on Snapchat.

Bronx icons such as CC Sabathia and Cardi B have both spoken out against the senseless murder. Cardi B donated $8,000 to a GoFundMe page that was launched to pay his funeral expenses. At the time of this writing, the GoFundMe has raised over $161,000.

College football has been highlighted by two eras in the 21st century. The controversial BCS era and the change to the current College Football Playoffs format. The BCS operated until 2014 with the last championship game under the system involving Auburn and Florida State. The Seminoles claimed the last BCS championship with a 34-31 win over the Tigers. After years of mounting pressure, the NCAA concocted the four-team playoff format. The playoff system has crowned every champion since 2014.

The SEC has consistently been the most dominate conference spanning over both formats. During the BCS era, the SEC won the most national championships (9), including seven straight at one point (2006-2013) and the most BCS bowl game wins (17). Under the playoff format, the SEC has won two of the four national championships. And during the 2017-2018 season, two schools from the SEC played in the national championship game; Alabama defeated Georgia 26-23 in OT.

But, how many of those SEC teams are in the top ten of best college football teams since 2000? And what school stakes claim to the No. 1 position on our list of the ten best college football teams since the turn of the 21st century? Let’s find out.

10. 2006 Florida Gators

Record: 13-1
Coach: Urban Meyer
National Championship: Defeated Ohio State 41-14

This was the first national championship during Urban Meyer’s reign at Florida. The Gators were led on offense by quarterbacks Chris Leak and Tim Tebow and the dynamic playmaker Percy Harvin. On defense, the Gators boasted hard-hitting safety Reggie Nelson and a stout front-seven highlighted by Jarvis Moss and Derrick Harvey. The 2006 Florida team overcame the toughest schedule in all of college football to make their way to the national championship game against Ohio State. Going into the championship game, the Buckeyes were heavy favorites, but the Florida defense put the clamps on Heisman winner Troy Smith and OSU’s offense. The championship win began the seven-year streak of SEC schools claiming the national championship.

9. 2016 Clemson Tigers

Record: 14-1
Coach: Dabo Swinney
National Championship: Defeated Alabama 35-31

Heisman finalist and do it all quarterback Dashaun Watson orchestrated one of the best seasons in school history. Watson finished second in the Heisman voting but took home the Johnny Unitas Award, Davey O’Brien Award, Bobby Bowden Award, and Manning Award. On defense, the Tigers were led by ACC Co-defensive player of the year Ben Boulware who has was honored with the Jack Lambert Award. Clemson ended the season beating three top-20 teams, No. 19 Virginia Tech, No. 3 Ohio State, and No. 1 Alabama to claim the national championship.

8. 2009 Alabama Crimson Tide

Record: 14-0
Coach: Nick Saban
National Championship: Defeated Texas 37-21

The 2009 Alabama Crimson Tide is the first team to win the national championship under Nick Saban at Alabama. The 2009 team also provided the first Heisman Trophy winner in program history with Mark Ingram winning the award over Toby Gerhart from Stanford. Linebacker Ronaldo McClain won both the Butkus Award and Jack Lambert Award, while defensive coordinator Kirby Smart took home the Broyles Award as the nations top assistant coach. The Crimson Tide defeated the Florida Gators in the SEC championship game handily and followed it up with a dominant performance against the Texas Longhorns in the national championship.

7. 2010 Auburn Tigers

Record: 14-0
Coach: Gene Chizik
National Championship: Defeated Oregon 22-19

The 2010-2011 season was the year of Cam Newton. In his only season at Auburn, Newton led the Tigers to a 14-0 record culminating with a thrilling victory over Oregon in the national championship game. It was the first undisputed national championship in school history. The Newton led Auburn-offense led the SEC in scoring offense, total offense, rushing offense, pass efficiency, first downs and first down conversions. They also scored over 50 points on six different occasions and twice over 60 points. Auburn defeated six top 20 teams including five top-12 teams.

6. 2004 USC Trojans

Record: 11-0 (2 wins vacated)
Coach: Pete Carroll
National Championship: Defeated Oklahoma 55-19 (vacated)

The USC dynasty was in full-swing during the mid-2000’s, and the 2004 team was the best Pete Carroll ever fielded. This USC team boasted two players that finished in the top five of Heisman voting. Quarterback Matt Leinhart won the award and running back Reggie Bush finished fifth in the Heisman voting. The Trojans went wire-to-wire holding down the No. 1 ranking the entire season. Overall the 2004 Trojans had six players named to the All-American first team. However, the team’s national championship would be vacated in 2011 amid violations pertaining to Reggie Bush receiving improper gifts. Despite the allegations and subsequent stripping of the national title, the 2004 Trojans were as dominant on the field as anyone.

5. 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide

Record: 12-1
Coach: Nick Saban
National Championship: Defeated LSU 21-0

The 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide is the best team ever to take the field under the tutelage of Nick Saban. Bama did lose one game during the season, a defensive struggle with LSU 9-6, but they got revenge on the Tigers in the national championship game. In the rematch, the Crimson Tide enforced their defensive will on LSU for a resounding 21-0 victory. The 2011 Tide led the nation in every major defensive statistical category. They were the first team to accomplish the feat since 1986. The 2011 Alabama team is arguably the best defensive team in college football history holding nine teams to ten or fewer points during the season.

4. 2005 Texas Longhorns

Record: 13-0
Coach: Mack Brown
National Championship: Defeated USC 41-38

The 2005 Texas Longhorns supplied us with one of the most iconic moments in college football history. Vince Young led the Longhorns over the USC Trojans 41-38 in what most consider the greatest national championship game ever. The Longhorns offense accounted for 652 points on the season, a school and NCAA record at the time. Texas scored over 60 points four times including the largest margin of victory in a Big 12 championship game with a 70-3 win over Colorado. Overall 24 players from the 2005 team would enter into the NFL.

3. 2008 Florida Gators

Record: 13-1
Coach: Urban Meyer
National Championship: Defeated Oklahoma 24-14

The talent level on the 2008 Florida Gators roster and coaching staff makes this one of the best-assembled teams ever. The team was littered with future NFL players on both sides of the ball. On offense, the Gators trotted out Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, the Pouncey Brothers, Phil Trautwein, Aaron Hernadez, Riley Cooper, and a backfield that featured speedsters Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey. The defense might boast an even more impressive collection of players with a secondary that featured Joe Haden, Janoris Jenkins, Major Wright, and Ahmad Black. In the middle of the defense was the heart and soul linebacker Brandon Spikes and upfront Carlos Dunlap and Jermaine Cunnigham were unstoppable on the edge. The Gators had no weaknesses even when it came to special teams with kicker Caleb Sturgis and punter Chas Henry. The coaching staff consisted of Urban Meyer and three future college head coaches in offensive coordinator Dan Mullen, defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, and assistant head coach Steve Addazio. The Gators did have one hiccup on the season which keeps them out of the top two spots, but that loss provided us with an all-time college football moment the Tebow “Promise” speech.

2. 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes

Record: 14-0
Coach: Jim Tressel
National Championship: Defeated Miami 31-24

The 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes national championship team was the first program in D1 (FBS) history to finish the season with 14 wins and zero losses. The Buckeyes had talent all over the field. The offense operated under the steady quarterback play of Craig Krenzel, who finished his career with a 24-2 record as a starter. Incoming freshman Maurice Clarett burst onto the scene with a school record rushing season churning out 1,237 yards and 18 touchdowns. Clarett was instrumental in securing the national championship victory for the Buckeyes, scoring the game-winning touchdown and earlier in the game stripping Miami safety Sean Taylor after Krenzel threw an INT. Ohio State took down the mighty Hurricanes of Miami in a controversial double OT game 31-24 denying Miami of back-to-back titles. Other key players included two-way do it all player Chris Gamble and senior safety Mike Doss.

1. 2001 Miami Hurricanes

Record: 12-0
Coach: Larry Cocker
National Championship: Defeated Nebraska 37-14

The “U” part two claims the No. 1 spot on our list of top college football teams since 2000. In fact, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are arguably the best team in college history. Although, the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers might have something to say about that. The 2001 Hurricanes possessed swagger and confidence that was reminiscent of the early 90’s Miami teams. Playing with a chip on their shoulder from being held out of the national championship game the year before, the Hurricanes came out swing and never looked back as they cruised to a 12-0 record and 37-14 win over Nebraska in the Rose Bowl. The Hurricanes on the season averaged 42.6 points per game and only gave up 9.7 points a game. Miami put together a remarkable 32.9 points per game margin of victory while setting the school scoring record on offense and leading the nation in scoring defense. The talent level on this team of future NFL players is unmatched by any other team in history. In total, 38 players went on to be selected in the NFL draft. A list that includes Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, Andre Johnson, Jeremy Shockey, Jonathan Vilma, Frank Gore, Vince Wilfork, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Sean Taylor and so many more that would give me carpal tunnel typing it all out. We may never see a team with the talent and personality of the 2001 Miami Hurricanes.

Two thin cookies glued together with a cream filling. Probably, one of the most fabulous creations is the Oreo cookie. A creamy, chocolaty sandwich that makes any person’s taste buds explode with exciting flavor. No one can have just one Oreo, sometimes people have to hold back from eating the whole container. But, the owners of Oreo, Nabisco, decided to step up their game from boring chocolate cookie in-between cream filling. They created different flavored Oreos that are even better than the original. Here are our top favorite Oreo flavors that will make you want to run to the grocery and buy loads of Oreos.

Golden Birthday Cake

Take a birthday cake and shrink it down to Oreo size, that’s the golden birthday cake Oreo. The flavor is so spot on that you, honestly, feel like you are eating a birthday cake. The taste brings you back to your younger birthday parties with the pointy hats, bouncy houses, silly string, and of course birthday cake.

Peanut Butter

Everyone loves Reese’s peanut butter cups. If you are allergic to peanut butter, I’m sorry but how do you live? Peanut butter was one of the best ideas that came out of Oreo. The peanut butter Oreo has the same taste of Reese’s peanut butter cup. It’s like Reese’s, and Nabisco decided to become evil scientists and created the fraternal twin brothers. Combining chocolate and peanut butter is genius, but it stays in the lower top 5 not packing a big enough punch for some Oreo fans.

Red Velvet

The biggest thing you will notice when purchasing the red velvet Oreo packaging is the “Artificially Flavored” wording that is hard to miss. I think we are all smart enough to know that Nabisco did not take a red velvet cake and squish it down to an Oreo cookie. But, after trying these flavors, we could be fooled. The cream cheese crème and the red cookies create a small cookie that makes you feel like you are eating a red velvet cake.

Oreo Mini

Probably the most significant childhood memory we all have with eating cookies. Those little cups filled with little mini Oreo’s almost felt like, as a kid, we were eating a regular sized Oreo. And that’s the best part, Nabisco shrunk their original cookie down to a bite-size that created more popularity with the kids and parents. It was a win-win for everyone.

Cinnamon Bun

Nabisco has done very well in creating unusual and beautiful flavors, close to their original form. But, one of the most significant successes in replicating the unique taste is the cinnamon bun. You could practically eat this Oreo flavor for breakfast. Such a great cinnamon taste that makes you forget that there is such thing as Cinnabon. With many fan’s raving about this flavor, it’s safe to say this is probably the best Oreo flavor Nabisco has ever released.

The original Oreo cookie may not come in our top 5, but it does get an honorable mention since it was the start to these fantastic flavors. And no one can ever forget the original. Something so simple but so significant as a dessert. Dip it in milk you have heaven, mix it in a milkshake you have liquid gold, put it in a cake you have a meal, anything that involves Oreo is a gold medal winner.

TMZ Sports

Nate Diaz has not been in the UFC octagon since a majority decision loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 202 in August 2016, but his fists have remained busy. In recent weeks, the younger Diaz brother has found himself in the middle of altercations in the crowds of smaller mixed martial arts events. Diaz was initially involved in a scuffle with fellow UFC fighter Clay Guida at a Combate Americas event back in May.

This weekend, Diaz was supporting some students at Fight to Win Pro 77 in Sacramento when a melee ensued.

From TMZ Sports:

It all went down Friday night in the crowd of the Fight to Win Pro 77 event at the Hyatt hotel in Sacramento — where we’re told Nate was supporting some of his MMA students, who were competing in the all-grappling event.

In the video, you can see several people in the melee — and Nate appears to wind up and throw a punch at one of the men being separated.

Witnesses tell us no one was arrested — Nate got his crew and left.

Here is video of the altercation:

Diaz has reportedly turned down multiple offers to return to the UFC.

Hopefully, the next time we see Diaz throwing hands, it will be in the octagon and not in a crowd endangering other fans. Many people want to see the trilogy fight between Diaz and Conor McGregor take place if they return to action but Diaz’s antics outside of the cage — and McGregor’s, too, for that matter — could put everything in jeopardy.

The UFC has not commented on the latest Diaz scuffle.
