The lack of oles from the US fans in this game with Mexico is fan malpractice.

IIRC, there were arguments out there just last week that Florida should be top 5 and Missouri should be unranked.

Won't the bill also have to be reintroduced in the Senate after the election? The election starts a new Congress, and any bill that is still in limbo dies and has to start all over again.

Hit on Dante Moore is one of the dirtiest I've seen in a long time. And Eagle and Blackledge didn't even discuss it. Say what you will about Herbstriet, and I'd probably agree, but really think he would have called it out.

WOW. New statement from MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher that says "replay protocol was nor properly followed" and that the MAC is formally appealing the result of the Michigan-WMU game.

Best part of this game is not having any reviews. Refs do their job as best they can, everyone accepts it, and the game just moves on.

Maybe Notre Dame will turn out to be good. But their lack of skill position talent has been hand waived all off-season. It is now showing. Barely a single pass longer than 5 air yards.

This Hail Mary situation is EXACTLY why all the replay review situations need to be public and transparent. There has been no explanation. Big Ten added it this year, but only for Friday games.

In the end, I think both sides take away what they want and lambast the other side as out of touch with American policy. Ultimately though this may rock Korean domestic politics for a few news cycles but won’t move the needle with North Korea or with South Korea becoming engaged in the Middle East

Karl Friedhoff @kfriedhoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
As for complicated feelings, becoming less so every day. Pluralities regularly identify North Korea as an enemy, and ever decreasing support for unification. Youth don't want to pay for it, feel little to no connection. That trend has been evident since at least 2012, I'd guess, and won't reverse.

Karl Friedhoff @kfriedhoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Perhaps I'm just numb to Trump buffoonery at this point, as I don't see that as new. But yes, you're right on that. I won't be surprised to hear that ROKG was requesting reduction in exercises, knocking on an open door.

Karl Friedhoff @kfriedhoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Finally: South Korean public is not what many have built up in their minds. It isn't virulently anti-North Korea. If North Korea is belligerent, it will favor hard line policy. When relations are calm, will favor engagement. Plenty of room for leadership to enact its preferred policy.

Karl Friedhoff @kfriedhoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
And to clarify: this is not some rogue admin in South Korea. They do not have contempt for all South Koreans and are not North Korean sympathizers. They have a theory of the case and are pursuing it. It is a legitimate policy and it isn't new or even controversial among the Korean public.

Honestly, many of the people accusing Trump of betraying an ally and siding with North Korea are disappointingly uninformed about South Korea. The South Korean government would welcome Trump’s conciliatory signals toward North Korea.

It is worth noting that reducing these military exercises is also something the current South Korean administration will support.
