Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs can do so much better than Pat Shurmur calling plays in 2024

The only way Pat Shurmur reaches the College Football Playoff next winter is if a pal buys him a ticket.Deion Sanders? Shedeur Sanders? Travis Hunter? The Buffs should be beating prospective offensive play-callers off with a stick. Not sticking Shedeur with another season of Pencil Pat pushing the buttons.Yet when USA Today asked Coach Prime Monday if Shurmur, who put Teddy Bridgewater in the hospital and Drew Lock in purgatory, would return as CU’s offensive coordinator, this was Sanders’ reply:“Yeah,” Coach Prime said, “most likely.”Lordy, the man’s interviews for the “Coach Prime” TV show that debuts later this week must be pure gold. Because his offenses are anything but.Sanders took the keys from Sean Lewis and handed them to Shurmur around Halloween. CU hasn’t won a game since.Only three Pac-12 teams scored fewer points than the Buffs did — 20.25 per game — after Nov. 1. And Stanford, Arizona State and UCLA still averaged 2...

This dying lake could be the site of California's next ‘gold’ rush

The Salton Sea, once a resort destination and now largely overlooked, could be the site of California's next gold rush – this time involving lithium.A new study from the U.S. Department of Energy shows the dying lake, which sits between the Coachella and Imperial valleys in California's southern desert, is brimming with “white gold”: enough to build batteries for 375 million electric vehicles.This makes it one of the largest lithium brine deposits in the world.Analysts from the University of California, Berkeley measured lithium concentrations in the Salton Sea’s rocks and created computer models to estimate its potential production over the next 30 years. They also looked at scenarios for recovering the metal, which powers everything from EVs to cell phones and tablets, laptops, tools and vaping devices.Their analysis found that, with technological advances, the region could produce more than 3,400 kilotons of lithium and create an economic boom for the region where, according to t...
