OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) – Police say they have recovered the son of
Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator Joe Philbin from an icy
Wisconsin river. Twenty-one-year-old Michael Philbin disappeared early Sunday
morning while out with friends in Oshkosh.
Divers recovered his body from the Fox River near the University
of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus on Monday.
An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday. Results are not expected
for at least a month. Oshkosh police Chief Scott Greuel (GROYLE)
said Tuesday they suspect no foul play.
He said they delayed releasing Philbin’s identity out of respect
for his family’s privacy and because there’s no threat to public
safety. Greuel declined to release any details of how Philbin
became separated from his friends, saying the investigating
continues.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Alabama ended up as an overwhelming, though
not unanimous, No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll
after shutting out LSU in the BCS championship game.
Five of the 60 members of the AP’s media panel voted otherwise.
Four had Oklahoma State (12-1) at No. 1, and Erik Gee of KNML-AM in
Albuquerque, N.M., picked LSU – just like he said he would before
the game. A couple of voters who expected to vote LSU No. 1 even if the
Tigers lost wound up being swayed by the Crimson Tide’s dominating
21-0 victory Monday night at the Superdome.
Joe Giglio of the News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., told the AP
in an email early Tuesday morning: “The score says it all.”
