Pro-Columbus Day discourse is the kind of thing that makes one hasten to abolish the internet.

A good summation of David Brooks and "civility" politics generally: no one on the right-wing can ever be described honestly, while everyone who isn't on the right-wing is always portrayed as a radical breaking cherished norms.

Must have been the most incredible feeling to realize there's no one in purple within five yards of the line between you and the win.

NEW: The early weeks of the college football season have gotten dangerously hot, and the heat is lasting longer. Shortened games, a band member dead, hundreds of medical calls. With the season moving up, it's a huge problem. And there's not an easy fix www.al.com/sec/2026/10/...

College football has a heat problem. There’s no easy solution

The early weeks of college football season are hotter than ever. Can anything be done to help players and fans?

I swear, I was at a Michigan game in the late 90s where they dipped the plane almost into the bowl as it passed over the first scoreboard. This stuff is freaky and loud and unnecessary militarization and schools don’t have to do it!

Pitt should now be forced to take responsibility for the tyranny of goal posts, just as Michigan has had to answer for the very concept of time.

Ieyasu-kun promotes Aichi Prefecture's historical spots. He wears golden armour, but he likes peace. He is slow and steady but occasionally gets excited when something good happens.

In all seriousness, Michigan had like a dozen chances here, there, and everywhere to put that game away, and when they didn't, well sometimes, that's the result. This game wasn't lost on the last play or last drive, it was a Jenga tower that finally collapsed.

Another thing: At some point we decided US youth sports were not civic recreational and/or public school programming but rather a for-profit grift lining the pockets of travel sports companies. And at what cost for pressured, tired, and over-traveled kids?

I really wish I could pinpoint into words the kind of internal fury and resentment I still carry about the total collapse of the academic humanities. Most days I don't think about it at all. But sometimes, I'm left with an overwhelming sadness about missing the work.

Major Saturday takeaway: A hat tip to Pacific Life. They could’ve been a Liberty Mutual and poured billions of dollars into the worst ads on the planet. Instead they just keep running out that big beautiful whale for 20 straight years. Honorable

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In conclusion, football does not need replay. Get rid of it. Don't wanna spend any more time looking at it. No more screen time during football. Do some football, let an old man guess what happened, and then play more football

And you'll be hip to it when a name is dropped and the whole room nods. I entered grad school studying US history after not majoring in it, and it would have been nice, say, to appreciate pouring a glass of wine for Eric Foner after a talk two weeks into my MA, 100% unaware he was *The Guy*.

As a whole, the last five years have been an effort to "modernize" the game day in-stadium experience that has only succeeded in making the whole of it feel cheap and hokey in the pursuit of "modernity."

College football's big tent is amazing, and we've been trying to destroy it for years. A 24-team CFP with no conference champ autobids and a "P4 teams must play 10 P4 games" requirement would all but kill it off. I know a lot of people don't care, but ... well ... a lot do.

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.
