DENVER (AP) _ The University of Colorado has hired Mike MacIntyre away from San Jose State. He’s being asked to turn around a football program that’s coming off its seventh straight losing season and its worst record ever. McIntyre has turned around a program before. The 10-2 Spartans are ranked No. 25 in the BCS and are heading to the Dec. 27 Military Bowl in Washington, D.C., two years after a 1-12 showing in McIntyre’s first season.

Brazos County Based Economic Development Agency Extends Its Reach To Three Neighboring Counties
The Brazos County based economic development organization that earlier this year rebranded itself has resumed posting social media after an absence of nearly two years. The Greater Brazos Partnership (GBP) posted this month on its Facebook page establishing new relationships with Grimes, Robertson, and Washington counties. While the GBP has received major funding from the cities of College Station and Bryan, Brazos County, and Texas A&M, the Facebook posts do not make references to Grimes, Robertson, and Washington counties making financial contributions. GBP’s post welcoming Grimes County says that is a key addition due to a “rich heritage, thriving agriculture, and strategic location”. GBP’s post for Robertson County says that addition “brings immense potential for economic growth, innovation, and community development.” The post also says “Together, we’ll work to strengthen industries, support businesses, and build a bright future for all.” And Washington County is described by GBP as a “vibrant community” that “brings a rich history, a strong agricultural presence, and a growing infrastructure” where the GBP will “build on its strengths in tourism, industry, and education to create even more opportunities for growth and innovation.” GBP also shared on its Facebook page, visiting New York City in December to “engage with influential players in finance, technology, and energy” and attend an event called “FT-Nikkei Investing America Summit”.
Brazos County District Court Punishment Hearings This Month For Two People Who Admit Their Involvement In A 2017 Armed Robbery In College Station
Two of four Houston area residents indicted on armed robbery charges in a 2017 incident in College Station learned their punishment this month during hearings in Brazos County district court. The victim in what College Station police previously described as a sale of illegal drugs was hospitalized after they were pepper sprayed in the face and was beaten in the head and back. 27 year old Ethan Khwaja of Houston and 27 year old Megumi Sui of Missouri City both pleaded guilty in earlier court appearances. Khwaja was sentenced to ten years in prison. Sui was taken to jail to await transport to a state prison facility to complete a special needs substance abuse felony punishment program. That is part of being placed on ten years probation that includes completing 200 hours of community service and paying a $1,000 dollar fine. A third person who pleaded guilty earlier this year was scheduled for sentencing last Friday (December 20). Their punishment hearing was rescheduled for January 6th. A fourth person issued a not guilty plea. Their trial date has not been set.
