USC Trojans, Washington Huskies Potential Schedule Snafu With L.A. Dodgers, World Series
The USC Trojans will face the Washington Huskies on Nov. 2. It will be week ten of the college football season and November games are almost always a must-watch. However, USC fans may be unable to watch their team play and could have a decision to make.
The USC game is set to air at 4:30 p.m. PT on the Big Ten Network. The World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees could also go to a Game 7. If a Game 7 occurs, it is set for Nov. 2 at 5:08 p.m. PT. This runs the risk of fans having to choose which game to watch.
Of course, there is a chance the World Series ends in fewer games. If that occurs, there will be no issue and Trojans fans can focus on football.
There are options for fans looking to watch both teams. USC will be on the Big Ten Network, while the Dodgers will be on FOX. Fans can watch the games simultaneously, whether they have cable and can flip channels back and forth or have the option to use two separate screens.
As the season is winding down, college football only becomes more important. The Trojans are 3-4 heading into week nine. By week ten, no matter USC’s record, the Trojans will still be fighting for Bowl eligibility. The Huskies and Trojans are new members of the Big Ten coming from the Pac-12. There is a history there, which makes this an important game despite records. If the World Series goes to a Game 7, Trojans fans may have to pick which game to watch.
Game 1 of the World Series is right before the week nine matchup between the USC Trojans and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Oct. 25. Though they are not on at the same time, there is a chance that the end of the World Series game goes over the USC game. The World Series begins at 5:08 p.m., while the Trojans kick off at 8 p.m. Both games will be aired on Fox, which means there is a chance of overlap.
Those attempting to attend either Game 1 of the World Series or the USC game against Rutgers should plan well ahead of time. Luckily for traffic sake, USC will be on the road in Seattle vs. Washington while the Game 7 of the World Series will be in L.A.
Fortunately, there is a chance that fans of the Trojans and Dodgers will not have to worry about overlap. Game 1 could end before the kickoff of the USC game and the World Series could end in fewer games.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.
The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.
Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.
Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.
Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.
Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).
The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.
The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.
Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.
The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.

Washington state board awards Yakima $985,600 loan for Sixth Avenue project design
YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.
The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.
The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.
The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.
The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.

Microsoft promises more AI investments at University of Washington
Microsoft will ramp up its investment in the University of Washington.
Brad Smith, the company’s president, made the announcement at a press conference with University of Washington President Robert Jones on Tuesday.
That means hiring more UW graduates as interns at Microsoft, he said.
And he said all students, faculty, and researchers should have access to free, or at least deeply-discounted, AI.
“ Some of it is compute that Microsoft is donating, and some of it is pursuant to an agreement where, believe me, we give the University of Washington probably the best pricing that anybody’s gonna find anywhere,” Smith said. He assured the small group of reporters present that it would be “many millions of dollars of additional computational resources.”
The announcement today didn’t include any specific numbers.
But Smith said Microsoft has already invested $165 million in the UW over several decades.
He pointed to Jones’ vision to spur “radical collaborations with businesses and communities to advance positive change,” and eliminate “any artificial barriers between the university and the communities it serves.”
Microsoft’s goal is for AI to help UW researchers solve some of the world’s biggest problems without introducing new ones.
At Tuesday’s announcement, several research students were present to demonstrate how AI supports their work.
Amelia Keyser-Gibson is an environmental scientist at the UW. She’s using AI to analyze photographs of vines, to find which adapt best to climate change.
It’s a paradox: AI produces carbon emissions. At the same time, it’s also a new tool to help reduce them.
So how do those things square for Keyser-Gibson?
“ That’s a great question, and honestly, I don’t know the answer to that,” she said. “I’m highly aware that there’s a lot of environmental impact of using AI, but what I can say is that this has allowed us to make research innovations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.”
“If we had had to manually annotate every single image that would’ve been an undergrad doing that for hours,” Keyser-Gibson continued. “And we didn’t have the budget. We didn’t have the manpower to do that.”
“AI exists. If we don’t use it as researchers, we’re gonna fall behind.”
Microsoft reports on its own carbon emissions. But like most AI companies, it doesn’t reveal everything.
That’s one reason another UW student named Zhihan Zhang is using AI to estimate how much energy AI is using.
