Baylor opens the season Friday night and no team is more anxious than the Bears to embark on a new normal.The season begins at McLane Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET, FSN) with a matchup against Northwestern State, a series the Bears have dominated to the tune of a 4-0 record.The opponent is almost a peripheral matter for the Bears, who might be glad to see anything but the usual around the program.Someone noted during Baylor interim head coach Jim Grobes first game-week press conference on Monday that Grobe was wearing the biggest smile anyone had seen from him since he was named head coach in a whirlwind summer for the program.Grobe again smiled at the question and replied, essentially, that football is the fun part of his job and hes happy to finally get to it.Its just good to get to football, Grobe said. Weve spent a lot of time talking about things that have to be talked about. Weve had to deal with a lot of serious issues. But now its kind of more lighthearted because were getting ready to play a game. For me its just exciting to get back into a football season and watch these guys perform.Grobe walked into an unusual situation in June when took the Baylor job.Baylor dismissed Art Briles, the coach that helped the Bears rise from the ashes to win two straight Big 12 titles, amidst the universitys major Title IX failings.Briles took the blame for a rash of rape cases involving Baylor players after an independent law firm, hired by Baylor, investigated the schools problems and determined Briles was culpable. Additionally, 16 players were deleted from the roster since the scandal began.Oddly, however, most of the rest of Briles staff remained at the school. Those are the coaches that Grobe is allowing to continue running the program.In the past I had more input as far as what we were going to do X and O wise, Grobe said. I had more input as far as what players were going to be first, second team. Ive had to rely on our coaching staff quite a bit. Ive relied on them to stack the guys up first, second, third team. I really couldnt do that until we start playing games. From that standpoint, Ive been really, really impressed. I think weve got a great group of coaches on both sides of the ball.It seems like Grobe was hired to speak at press conferences and let the same people who were running practice keep at it.Grobes results speaking to the media have been mixed.He drew the ire of regional media at Big 12 Media Days in July when he said that Baylor no longer had a culture problem on its team. That statement appeared all the more naive later in the summer as another couple of legal issues cropped up for Baylor players.But on Monday, Grobe met with mostly local media and was able to maintain his bright complexion throughout the presser. He handled a question about wide receiver Ishmael Zamora, who is in limbo after video of him beating and kicking a dog, got into the mainstream media. Grobes response was measured and appropriate to the schools current circumstances.Were just following the process, Grobe said. I think we were criticized in the past for not having a process. Its critical that were fair and reasonable in our decisions. I have no problem that its taking longer.Thats probably the right answer for Grobe in the long run as he will continue to field questions about issues other than football this season.Offense should be Baylors strength yet again, but the Bears are not in great shape defensively if you count only proven players.Points wont be an issue if health isnt. Baylors backfield is well-stocked with running back Shock Linwood, who gained 1,329 yards last season, back behind quarterback Seth Russell. In seven games before he was injured in 2015, Russell passed for 2,104 yards and an astounding 29 touchdowns.The one big name to replace on the offensive side of the ball is wide receiver Corey Coleman, a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft (Cleveland Browns).

Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. http://www.danmarkairmax.com/ .

Nike Air Max Udsalg . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. Nike Air Max Danmark Billig . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Andy Murray put his doubles disappointment behind him to move safely through to the third round of the singles with victory over Juan Monaco in Rio.The world No.2 was very upset after he and brother Jamie lost their doubles opener on Sunday night. The pair had set their sights firmly on a medal after their Davis Cup heroics together but were beaten by Brazilians Thomaz Bellucci and Andre Sa.Around the same time, Murrays chances of a second successive singles gold improved significantly when Novak Djokovic was beaten by Juan Martin Del Potro in the singles. Del Potros Argentinian teammate Monaco, ranked 107, appeared to hold few fears for Murray and so it proved as the world number two prevailed 6-3 6-1 after only 69 minutes.Murray won the first three games, was pegged back to 3-2, but quickly forged ahead again, coming out on top of most of the long rallies and clinching the set with his fourth ace. Monaco, who could well be an opponent for Murray in Septembers Davis Cup semifinal, had won two of his previous five matches against the Scot but both were more than five years ago.The many Argentinians in the crowd were providing loud support to Monaco but hiss serve was taking a pounding and Murray quickly moved into a 4-0 lead in the second set.dddddddddddd.The Scot, whose potential quarter-final opponent David Ferrer was knocked out by Evgeny Donskoy, kept his foot firmly on Monacos throat and a missed backhand from the Argentinian sealed his fate.Meanwhile, it was confirmed on Tuesday that Jamie Murray and Johanna Konta will be Britains entry in the mixed doubles. Andy also entered with Wimbledon champion Heather Watson but her ranking of 66 left them 18th in the entry list, which is decided on combined rankings, for the 16-team draw.Rafael Nadal, who is still in singles and doubles, will challenge for a third medal alongside French Open champion Garbine Muguruza while Venus Williams hopes of a fifth Olympic gold are still alive after she entered with Rajeev Ram.Djokovics Games are definitely over, though, and the world number one revealed after his doubles loss on Monday night that he will skip the Masters event in Cincinnati next week and will not play again until the US Open.
