I was pretty negative on GT going to a bowl game before this game but....wow.

Do you keep response time records? I would think that'd be very useful for yourself at least if not other journalists

I hadn't seen the new Scrubs seasons and it's giving weird feels.

I've seen ads for 4 different political things I can't vote in this afternoon. It's September. This shit is miserable.

Did Brent Key finally learn to do possession math after 5 years as a head coach?

Looking at the rest of this schedule....I don't think GT is going to a bowl game.

Looks like we paid a lot of money for a running back and forgot that the OL is still important

Everyone is watching the 2022 Co-Ed Invitational: Utah

A capital intensive industry building up regulations that prevent challengers? Or just trying to game the social license to operate?

It's wild to get a KKY newsletter that includes a link to a functioning website

This is Brobdingnagian erasure

You cannot understand emergency management today without understanding how the Bush administration & Congress took advantage of the post-9/11 shock to create the homeland security apparatus.

Just a few months later, two planes crashed into the Twin Towers and the window was opened for the largest reorganization of the federal government since the National Security Act of 1947. US emergency management was turned upside down, as reckless policy decisions that contradicted decades of disaster research and emergency management expertise were imple-mented. 402 The cataclysmic post-9/11 policy changes laid the groundwork for the failed response to Hurricane Katrina and the levee failure only a few years later, 403 and still contribute to slow and ineffective responses today.

The most significant of these changes was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. A month after 9/11, Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) and Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) cosponsored a bill that took inspiration from the concept of the National Homeland Security Agency, proposing the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As had happened when Representative Thornberry introduced nearly the same bill in the House months before, hearings were held, but no vote taken. The Bush administration, with support from the Hart-Rudman findings, presented a similar bill to Congress in June 2002. With pressure from the White House, the bill finally passed, and DHS was created. FEMA was subsumed by DHS along with other agencies, including the Coast Guard and Secret Service. In the reorganization, FEMA lost its status as an

independent, cabinet-level agency. Across the country, emergency management agencies got whiplash. 404
As this drastic reorganization and refocus of the federal government was underway, Congress wanted answers about the circumstances that led to the 9/11 attacks including an analysis of how intelligence agencies had failed to communicate with one another before the attack. Most relevant for emergency man-agement, Congress also wanted a better understanding of the effectiveness of the response at the Pentagon and in New York City. The answers to these questions were compiled into the 9/11 Commission Report released in 2004.405 The 9/11 Commission's findings concerned many emergency management ex-perts. 406 The Commission found that the immediate life-saving response measures conducted at the Pentagon had been success-ful. On the contrary, they criticized the response measures in New York City as uncoordinated.

This conclusion ran counter to the findings of disaster researchers in important ways. Disaster scholars documented first responders running into the towers, despite knowing they might never run back out. Inside the towers, people banded together to help each other out of the buildings, carrying coworkers who were disabled down dozens of flights of stairs, resulting in upward of sixteen thousand people evacuating in just 102 minutes.
Those who died were largely located on the floors above where the planes collided, making evacuation impossible.
Those who escaped the towers found people outside ready to guide them out of the dust. Local businesses opened their doors to offer refuge, and others handed out water or bandaged

Let's also remember that Iowa moved every athletic event that day to a safer time.....except the football game. And the NCAA doesn't have rules about heat safety. And that this is only going to get worse. hawkeyesports.com/news/2026/09...

This is reeking of the fossil fuel industry deploying yet another delay tactic.

I see why Jimbo Fisher started losing, he's scared of competition without any of the new gadgets.

This must mean there's only going to be one clock

Taylor Tannenbaum just mentioned this on TV.

Objectively the funniest outcome is for them to turn all the lights on and have the surge in power draw knock it out again.

They have to get the money to pay Norvell's buyout somehow

Just say that SMU won by 3 TDs. FSU should be happy because it's less than SMU will actually win by

If Chambliss and Lacy want to be Heisman candidates they should probably think about playing better

Christian football themed AI slop is a good descriptor of Dabo's press conferences

The Big Ten is trying some home cookin

Of course the Big Ten refs didn't call the extremely obvious facemask on a must-stop third down when Michigan is trending towards getting upset at home by a MAC team

I guess I "should" flip to the Clemson-LSU game but the game where Michigan might lose to Western Michigan is lovable mess

We have seen a Nebraska and Georgia governor ad so far, both elections we can't vote in. This is going to be a miserable damn football season.

Brent Key has never been accused of being great at end of half / end of game management. He just has the fortune to play Mario Cristobal every so often, who is worse.

Gotta admit I didn't see block coming. I was thinking he was gonna miss it.

I'm pretty sure we just broke it
