We're in the Denver Airport on our way to the game in Seattle. I've flown out of Denver hundreds of times but I've never had to walk as far as we did today. We had to park within 40 yards of the farthest long-term spot & our gate is at the end of the terminal. Fitbit says 1.3 miles at the airport.

I hope Colorado voters understand that Trump thinks he's above the law because feckless Republicans like Jeff Crank refuse to stand up to a weak, senile old man.

I'm making my second ever visit to Husky Stadium on Friday where I hope an Iowa win will make "my team" 3-0 there.

Trump says Iran could ‘take’ San Diego, Los Angeles; draws cross-party ire
Both Democrats and Republicans have expressed outrage at Trump's remarks, as White House disputed their interpretation.

I played in Husky Stadium more recently than the Hawkeyes. On Halloween 1970, my Ballard Boys Club team beat Green Lake 28-0 in Husky Stadium b4 the Huskies played Oregon. 3rd string me got my name announced when I assisted on a tackle. UW's QB was Sonny Sixkiller who was later in The Longest Yard.

Juries should view testimony from cops the same way they view testimony from criminals, very skeptically. Our law enforcement system has to be entirely reworked before cops deserve any credibility.

Unfortunately, the flyover stayed far enough west of us that our view was obscured by trees. I got a short glimpse but no video.

AFA/Navy flyover should be happening about the time Caitlin Clark makes her picks in Iowa City. The flyover often go over our house slightly higher than the stadium so I'll be out in the driveway with my tablet and my phone watching Caitlin and hopefully, a couple B2 Spirit stealth bombers.

The whole thing reeks but the Browns took it a disgusting step further by giving Watson guaranteed money so he could buy his way out of criminal charges, ensuring they could eventually play him. The fact that they have no Hawkeyes makes my Browns boycott that much easier.

@rahlvers.bsky.social Our teams are the two opposite extremes. I think this just shows that when KU wins, it's on offense, not defense or special teams.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Listening to Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit wave away the sexual assault charges against DeShaun Watson — even saying “winning is the best deodorant” — was pretty jarring, especially this week.

Hey James Donald Bowman (alias JD), Show me where capitalism is embedded in the founding documents? I'll wait. Oligarchs have spent $millions convincing stupid people that socialism is bad as they cash their social security checks. How is this guy allowed to vote with all those name changes?

Will Compton listed Nebraska as a CFP contender. The irrational early season optimism of Nebraska fans always makes it more enjoyable when the wheels fall off.

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that if Schmitt's basic facts hadn't been wrong, his entire "charge" would have been that Jack Smith was in the same city as Fani Willis in Feb 2024. He couldn't prove any communication or conspiracy. He was relying on MAGA Qonspiracy theorists to do the rest.

I'll make a donation to the campaign of choice for any senator who enters Caitlin Clarks stats from this game into the Congressional record and addresses their comments to Eric Schmitt.

Wade Dolphin (yes, really) @displacedhawk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Someone close to Eric Schmitt should remind him that "it's better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt." The best time to shut up would have been during today's hearing. Doubling down on stupid makes you twice as stupid.

Eric Schmitt isn't smart enough to be elected dog catcher let alone a United States senator. Today's GOP is the greatest collection of Keystone Kops that ever existed in real life.

The NFL needs the team that designed the virtual 1st down marker to develop a tool that shows HQ & the TV audience where a punt goes out of bounds. If golf can track the flight of a ball, tracking a football & overlaying it on the field shouldn't be too different. Refs are guessing right now.

Dallas works for me but I'm not their audience. I was trying to think who would be most recognized across the US or in Gameday's demographic. I wonder if the current college students know Dallas. Bluder's got recent cachet but the women's basketball audience may not be big enough.
