This is great work, America but I know we can do better.

An image showing a graphic titled “TRUMP APPROVAL RATING” with the AP and NORC at the University of Chicago logos. The results read: “APPROVE 37%” and “DISAPPROVE 61%.” At the bottom, small text notes the survey was conducted October 9–13 with 1,289 adults. A photo of Donald Trump in a dark suit and red tie appears on the left side of the image.

Lane Kiffin is the ideal. Jedd Fisch is the alum. James Franklin is the name. Jon Sumrall and Jeff Brohm should be the call.

Billy Napier ended his Florida career with a 22-23 record, the worst record of any Florida head coach through 30 games since Raymond Wolf, who went 13-24-2 from 1946-49.

All of these coaches being fired across the P5 is making it more difficult for Oregon State to get any up and coming head coach.

This all but feels like it will lead to either hiring a coach on the decline, hiring another coordinator, or a reunion with Smith.

GOOD MORNING, Beaver Nation 🗣️

A large group of people, predominantly young men, are gathered in stadium seating, many of whom are shirtless. They are enthusiastically raising and waving orange and black clothing, likely as part of a celebration or sports event. The crowd is densely packed and animated, with a mix of standing and seated individuals. Some people are wearing hats and a few hold props, adding to the energetic atmosphere.

The massive No Kings protests across America show one thing:

The American people:

WILL NOT YIELD to Trump’s illegal deployment of our military.

I began this gorgeous Sunday at St. Albans Congregational Church in Queens, where I was honored to joiin @drichardsqns.bsky.social and Sen. Leroy Comrie.

My sincere gratitude to Reverend Wilson and First Lady Sharon Ecke-Wilson for allowing me to join the service and share a few words.
