RIO DE JANEIRO -- Alev Kelters Olympics were over, so she and her U.S. womens rugby teammates could finally go out for some celebratory passionfruit caipirinhas.Oh, and to party with Matthew McConaughey.True story: After finishing fifth at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the rugby team had gone through its post-Olympics debriefing meeting and headed to a hotel bar to enjoy a few glasses of Brazils national drink. And in walked McConaughey, who was spotted at rugby matches earlier in the weeks. He posed with players for some pictures, said a few encouraging words and even told the team the origin of his signature all right, all right, all right saying from the movie Dazed and Confused.I think well remember that one, Kelter said.Such can be the life for those whose Olympics end long before the flame goes out on Aug. 21. Its a rare time with no early morning workouts, no training sessions, no challenge to block out distractions and try to stay as sharp as possible for the enormity of Olympic competition. Instead, they get to eat whatever, drink whatever, stay up as late as they want.Or if theyre lucky, have fruity drinks with Academy Award winners.Slept in until 10:30 this morning, Kelter said Wednesday. Cant remember the last time I did that.It makes for an interesting dichotomy in the athletes village, where many of the 10,500 or so competitors in the Rio Games are staying. Some are already done and are staying for a few extra days; others dont compete for another week or even more in some cases, so the vibe changes as the games go along.While many there are still trying to keep a sharp focus, others are in vacation mode.Im not jealous of everyone else because they get to let loose, U.S. womens taekwondo athlete Jackie Galloway said. This is what Ive been working toward for four years. The accumulation of all of my hard work has been leading up to Aug. 20 when I step out on the mat for the first time. So thats really all Im focused on. For me it isnt as hard as you might think.Five-time taekwondo Olympian Steven Lopez says hes remembered times at past games when hes heard the in-village celebrations of athletes who are done, and wished he could take part in those since his competitions are typically in the final days of the competition. Teammate Stephen Lambdin said he doesnt expect things to get too far out of hand.Honestly, 99.9 percent of athletes are super-respectful of everybody, Lambdin said. At 10 p.m., its pretty much silent throughout the village. Im sure thatll change a little bit as more people finish ... but for the most part, nobodys going to run up to your room and start banging on the door at 2 oclock in the morning.The U.S. Olympic Committee has some tickets available to certain events if athletes so desire to watch, and theres plenty of sightseeing to do. In some cases the end-of-competition schedule also allows time for family reunions of sorts, catching up on time lost to training and flying around the world to get ready for the games.Fencer Jason Pryor didnt medal, and to his parents, that didnt matter in the least.Now we celebrate, said his mother Brenda, who was spending Wednesday with her son before heading back to the U.S.Theres also the element of athletes who have long breaks between events.Golfs Julieta Granada carried the flag for Paraguay in the opening ceremony, then returned to Orlando, Florida, for a week of practice before her competition in Rio next week. British diver Tom Daley already has a Rio medal and still has an individual competition left on his Olympic schedule, but that isnt until Aug. 19. So hes moving elsewhere, in large part to avoid the village frivolity.Get away from everything, give my head a little bit of a rest and my body more of a rest, said Daley, wholl move back to the village in a few days.Kelter is bouncing back and forth between the village, where she still has a room for a few more days, and where her family is staying. Shes looking forward to experiencing the beaches and Brazils culture, plans on cheering for other U.S. athletes in trampoline, basketball, soccer and swimming events, and will be in Rio through the closing ceremony.Its been an emotional roller-coaster, Kelter said. The last two days we played, our team came together more than weve ever seen. We showed America and we showed the world that Americans can play rugby. It wasnt the result we wanted, but we did something incredible and now we can enjoy it.

The Heart of Dallas Bowl will be a rematch between two teams that played in October -- and one of them is heading into the game with a 5-7 record.Unusual? Yes. But scenarios like this simply come with the territory now.With 80 bowl spots to fill, some postseason games ended up with odd matchups this year. North Texas will play in the Heart of Dallas Bowl after going 5-7, and the game will be a rematch against an Army teams it met six weeks ago. Mississippi State is also going to a bowl at 5-7. The Bulldogs face Miami (Ohio) in the St. Petersburg Bowl.Were fortunate to have the opportunity, North Texas coach Seth Littrell said. At the end of the day, we didnt even feel like we could get in this way, but we did, and so were going to take it.Hawaii is also heading to a bowl with a losing record. The Rainbow Warriors (6-7) will play in the Hawaii Bowl against Middle Tennessee. The reason some sub-.500 teams were given a reprieve is because there werent enough eligible teams to fill all the spots.That shortage also allows Army (6-5) and South Alabama (6-6) to go to bowls even though both have multiple wins over FCS schools. Teams are only supposed to count one FCS win for bowl eligibility purposes, but since there were openings, the Black Knights and Jaguars are in.South Alabama faces Air Force in the Arizona Bowl. The Jaguars were supposed to play LSU in November, but that game was canceled when the Tigers needed to play a rescheduled game against Florida. South Alabama played Presbyterian instead and won, so that switch may have been the difference between reaching a bowl and missing the postseason.There were sub-.500 teams in bowls last season too, so this may be the new normal in college football. North Texas and Mississippi State werent exactly apologizing Sunday. The Bulldogs Twitter account boasted that Mississippi State is one of only five Southeastern Conference schools to reach a bowl every season this decade.Since the Academic Progress Rate plays a role in which sub.-500 teams play on, coaches can takke pride in that.dddddddddddd.This is a great opportunity for one of the winningest senior classes in school history and for our program to build momentum for 2017, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said in a statement. It also speaks volumes of our student-athletes for their commitment in the classroom to qualify for a bowl based on our successful APR.North Texas lost four of its last five games in the regular season, but reaching a bowl -- no matter how it happened -- is still a big step forward after the Mean Green went 1-11 in 2015.North Texas won 35-18 at Army on Oct. 22. Regular-season rematches are rare in bowls, but there are some positives for the Heart of Dallas Bowl in this matchup. The bowl was supposed to match Conference USA against the Big Ten, but with one Big Ten team in the playoff and three more in New Years Six bowls, there werent enough left for every bowl with ties to the league.We know that Army is going to bring a large contingency because the Texas area is one of their hotbeds, said Brant Ringler, the bowls executive director.North Texas in Denton, of course, isnt far from Dallas. Ringler said that was appealing as well.In the past couple years, you probably have noticed, the Conference USA championship has occurred, we received usually the champion or the runner-up, and it was probably going to look to be that way possibly this year as well, Ringler said. But when we had an opening in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl game that we also control, we did work out an agreement with Conference USA to have (runner-up Louisiana Tech) play in the Armed Forces Bowl. Therefore, it allowed us to be able to slide in the University of North Texas into the Heart of Dallas Bowl, which is a win-win for all of us all around.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
