FORT COLLINS — Oh, sure, Tory Horton got calls from other places. Big places. Deep-pocket places. You don’t think tampering is a thing in this certifiably insane college football world of the present?Yet when a reporter asked CSU’s star wideout on the first day of Rams preseason camp Friday morning why he stayed put, the senior walked the convo back to three words: Coach Jay Norvell.“He was the one who gave me a shot and (the chance) out of high school,” the Nevada transfer and Fresno native said. “So I was like, ‘If this man sees that potential me and he put his trust and money on me. I feel like I have to reward him.’“And I always told myself, ‘I can’t let someone down who has so much trust in me.’ And that’s one person who trusted me (when) I told him, ‘No, you gave me a shot and you won’t regret it.’”Norvell hasn’t. During a 2022 season that featured a freshman quarterback and a patchwork — to put it kindly — offensive line, an autumn in which every...

Angelenos who make $70,000 a year are still considered ‘low-income’ Since 2020, when the dataset starts, L.A. County has steadily experienced a population decline.

County could lose residents, other areas like Placer, Kern and Merced counties could experience a population increase.Researchers also predict that other counties, like Orange, Sacramento and San Diego, could experience a population decrease but are expected to rebound.Experts didn’t share the reasoning behind the continuous population decline in L.A.
