Jack Nicklaus has found his next business venture: restaurants.The 76-year-old golfing great opened up his first Golden Bear Grill in the Fort Lauderdale airport on Wednesday, and the restaurant features recipes from the cookbook written by his wife, Barbara.?Nicklaus said putting his famous trademark on restaurants was a natural progression. In recent years, hes put his name on lemonade, wine and ice cream.This is something that will go beyond our lifetimes, as most of my brands will, Nicklaus said. Not many people will recognize Jack Nicklaus, but the Golden Bear will be there for a long time.The deal was born out of a relationship with Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, who also owns food-service company Delaware North. The two met when Jacobs became a founding member of The Bears Club in Jupiter, Florida, which opened in 1999.The 2,800-square-foot restaurant has a capacity of 100 and will have a golfing feel. The fare will be comfort food, including Barbaras meatloaf. Travelers can also order Jacks Favorite Greens, a salad with smoked bacon and sweet-and-sour dressing, and for dessert may choose an order of Buckeyes -- chocolate-covered peanut butter balls -- which are a favorite in Ohio, where Nicklaus grew up and went to college (Ohio State).In addition to the restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, the Jacobs-Nicklaus partnership is building a restaurant at Charleston International Airport in South Carolina, and Jacobs says his company might build a stand at Columbus Blue Jackets games, where Delaware North is the concessionaire.Jacobs said airports were the right opportunity for the partnership thanks to the built-in crowd of people and Nicklaus strong brand name. ?Golf Digest estimated that Nicklaus made $20 million from off-the-course business deals last year.Nicklaus was nicknamed the Golden Bear by Australian sportswriter Don Lawrence at the 1967 U.S. Open at Baltusrol, thanks to his blonde hair and his large build.Nicklaus first filed to trademark Golden Bear for use on golf clubs and golf balls in 1970.

Nick Ritchie Ducks Jersey .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. http://www.authenticduckspro.com/Cam-fowler-ducks-jersey/ . Perez, 35, posted a 1-2 record with a 3.69 earned-run average in 19 relief appearances last season. His season ended Aug. 9 due to a torn ligament in his left elbow.

Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. Ryan Getzlaf Ducks Jersey . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. AMES, Iowa -- On paper, a trip to Iowa State would seem to be exactly what Texas Tech needs to get its wobbly season on track.In reality, playing the Cyclones on the road might not be that easy.Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) has lost five of its last six games, including a heartbreaker to Oklahoma State last week, and needs to win out to earn a bowl bid.But while Iowa State (2-8, 1-6) has also struggled in the Big 12, the matchups and the weather could give the Cyclones an edge.Iowa State rediscovered its running game in last weeks 31-24 win over the Jayhawks, rushing for a season-high 234 yards, and the Red Raiders have the worst rush defense in the league.Texas Tech also leans as much on its passing game as any team in the country, leading the Big 12 with 580 yards a game despite ranking last with just 105 of those on the ground.The reasons that might be such a big deal?The forecast for Saturday doesnt look promising, with temperatures in the low 40s and winds gusting up to 30 mph.Youve got to be ready to play wherever they place the ball down at whatever time. Youve got to be kind of trained for whatever. And whatever we end up, whatever the weather ends up doing, be ready to compete, Texas Techs Luke Stice said.Here are some of the main keys to follow as Tech looks to stay in the postseason picture:MAHOMES VS. THE CLONESTexas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 4,247 yards, far and away tops in the nation. But Iowa State ranks second in the Big 12 in passing defense, although to be fair part of that is because its also allowing 5.1 yards per carry. Still, only Baylor and Oklahoma have fewer yards per completion than the Cyclones in the league. When you look at their reecord its not indicative of how good a team they are.ddddddddddddI think you look at the scores, theyve had teams beat and lost some close, tough games, Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury said.IOWA STATES IMPROVEMENTChanging Iowa States culture has always been more of an emphasis in 2016 than winning and losing for first-year coach Matt Campbell. But after dropping four Big 12 games by 10 points or fewer, the Cyclones were finally able to see their hard work pay off with a win last week. I still dont think weve played 60 minutes of our best football, Campbell said. I know its never going to be perfect. But there are things we can continue to control and continue to get better at, and we need too.HARGERS MOMENTFifth-year senior Mitchell Harger, a walk-on, unexpectedly spent a series as Iowa States lead back and rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. Itll likely be the highlight of Hargers career after five years spent largely in the background. Just to have that moment, the touchdown...Id do it a million times over again, Harger said.THE SERIESIowa State and Texas Tech became new rivals when the Big 12 formed two decades ago. Its been a relatively lopsided series, with the Red Raiders coming out on top in 11 of 14 meetings. But the Cyclones beat Tech and Kingsbury, then the Red Raiders quarterback, 31-17 in 2002.HE SAID ITYou want to get to a bowl game. You dont want these two weeks to be your last two weeks of the season. I mean, we went through a lot together on this team, Mahomes said.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
