Wild counting on bigger, stronger Marco Rossi

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:55:30 GMT

Marco Rossi has made the Wild roster out of camp before, last season, in fact, after earning a goal and five assists in just the preseason games. But it didn’t stick, and he found himself back in Iowa after 19 games.That won’t do this season for either Rossi or the Wild.“We’re looking for Marco Rossi to make our hockey club and be an impact player with the Minnesota Wild,” head coach Dean Evason said this week.The Wild are cap-strapped and high on the No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 draft, and Rossi is anxious to find a home in the NHL after last season’s setback and a serious bout with myocarditis that essentially wiped out his first season of professional hockey.It’s almost hard to believe he’s still only 22 years old.“I want to make the team and just want to show that I’ve improved over the last few years, and that I gained confidence and that I know what to do,” Rossi said as the Wild started training camp last week at TRIA Rink in downtown St. Paul.To that end, the Austria nativ...

My AP top-25 ballot: Georgia is No. 1, followed by FSU, as Washington State jumps USC

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:55:30 GMT

Ballot submitted to the Associated Press on Saturday night …Let’s cut to the issue that’s sure to elicit significant reaction: Yes, I ranked Washington State above USC. The Cougars are No. 11 on the ballot, one spot above the Trojans.And honestly, it took about a nanosecond to reach that conclusion.Before we compare and contrast, note that their current positions represent significant changes from the ballot submitted a week ago, when USC was No. 7, nine spots ahead of the Cougars.I jumped Penn State, Utah, Oregon and WSU over the Trojans after all four beat ranked teams and USC struggled with Arizona State. (Notre Dame also jumped USC after losing on the final play to Ohio State.)In the two-team ballot showdown, the Cougars (4-0) have been more impressive against a far stronger schedule.In fact, the only reason to rank USC (4-0) ahead of WSU at this point is preseason hype and/or brand bias. Because the resumes aren’t comparable.USC’s opponents (Nevada...

Asteroid sample returns to Earth after a 3.86-billion-mile journey

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:55:30 GMT

The country’s first pristine asteroid sample — protected by a heat shield invented in Silicon Valley — landed in Utah’s Great Salt Lake Desert Sunday morning, where it was greeted by a team of NASA scientists hoping to study its chemical composition.The sample was taken from the asteroid Bennu, where in 2020, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft touched down on the asteroid’s surface to collect rock and dust. It took two years to get there and two years to measure the asteroid — and now, it has returned to Earth with a sample in tow.“Bennu is a leftover fragment from the tumultuous formation of the solar system,” said NASA on X, formerly Twitter, around 8 a.m. “The samples will help scientists better understand the origins of our solar system, and might contain clues to the role asteroids may have played in delivering life-forming compounds to Earth.”After being preserved in space for millennia, NASA said Bennu “is a ti...
