Le Journal

C'est quand même rassurant que la justice ait fait son travail pour protéger la liberté de la presse. Je suis quand même très étonné du montant ridiculement bas que JM Aulas doit payer au journal, car le coût total de ce procès doit probablement être très très supérieur pour le journal, non ?

Getting the timing right can mean the difference between a successful bankruptcy and one that leaves debts behind.

After a 12-2 season that ended with a Pop-Tarts Bowl win over Georgia Tech, BYU finished #11 int the final AP Poll released Monday. This ties the highest final AP ranking in the Kalani Sitate era, matching the #11 ranking in the 2020 COVID season. BYU finished last season ranked #13 after the blowout win over Colorado. BYU is one of five Big 12 teams ranked along with Texas Tech (7), Utah (14), Houston (22), and TCU (25). BYU beat both Utah and TCU to finish with two Top 25 wins. Georgia Tech fell out of the polls after their bowl loss to BYU. The finish and BYU’s returning production should set themselves up for a top 15 ranking in next season’s Preseason AP Poll. BYU was poised for a stellar preseason ranking before 2025, but Jake Retzlaff’s sudden departure left BYU unranked before the season. The return of Big 12 Freshman of the Year Bear Bachmeier, Big 12 Offensive POY LJ Martin, and a host of other returnees as BYU right around the top 10 in most early top 25 rankings for next season. BYU opens the 2026 season Saturday, September 5 versus Utah Tech.

He was perhaps never better than on this day… In front of 36,353 Dome faithful—including Twinkie Town’s own resident film buff & storyteller extraordinaire—Santana was indeed (in the words of Dick Bremer): “Awesome…absolutely awesome!” The newbie: A Span-tastic triple! Thome christens Target Field (2010) When Target Field opened to begin the 2010 season, it was clearly a beautiful new ballpark that the hometown nine excelled in. But it was missing one thing: a signature moment. Try as they might, the Twins could not muster a walk-off victory in front of the sold-out crowds for the first four-and-a-half months. But on August 17, The Man With An Ox In The Batter’s Box finally gave Target Field it’s first magical memory. Mauer’s final bow (2018) After 15 seasons in a Minnesota Twins—and no other—uniform, Minnesota’s own (St. Paul) Joe Mauer stepped onto the diamond for the final time in 2018’s finale. After what would quickly prove to be a Hall of Fame career, Mauer got to enjoy a special moment in the catcher’s gear where he always felt most at home. Few eyes that beheld his heartfelt goodbye were dry at the end of it. Dozier caps a comeback (2015) On July 10, 2015, the Twins trailed the Detroit Tigers 6-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. But in a remarkable sequence of events, Brian Dozier found himself at the plate with a chance to be a hero. He didn’t disappoint. In the words of Dick Bremer: “The most electric moment at Target Field in YEARS!”. Jacque Jones jolts contraction outta here (2002) The 2001 offseason was undoubtedly the worst in Twins franchise history. After MLB Commissioner Bud Selig floated the contraction idea and Twins owner Carl Pohlad was more than willing to take the payout, it took a county judge to restore order. Jacque Jones restored between-the-white-lines order by homering in the first PA of the 2002 season! I wasn’t able to locate the audio, but Dick Bremer’s “And I hope it lands in Milwaukee!” call remains iconic. Denard Span’s triple takes the top off (2008) In the final week of the 2008 season, the Twins needed to sweep the Chicago White Sox at the Metrodome to even have a fighting chance at the AL Central crown. After taking the first two games, MN fell behind big in the finale—but kept battling back. In the bottom of the 8th, Denard Span bounced a ball down the first base line that scored Carlos Gomez to tie the game and propelled this Twinkie Town writer airborne. Alexi Casilla would later give the Twins the victory, but Span’s big blow was the buoyant moment. Loading…
