It's semi-official.
The Mercury reports that Collin Klein will be introduced as K-State's new head football coach tomorrow, followed by an appearance at the men's basketball game on Saturday.

Conversation while watching Chelsea-Arsenal with my nieces today:
4-year-old: What is the black person?
Me: .....
7-year-old: That's the referee.
Me (feeling a little ashamed): Oh, of course you're talking about the referee. He calls the fouls.

Do you like walk off touchdowns? How about a walk off touchdown to cap off an 80-yard 2-minute drive and win Central Washington's first Lone Star Conference title? Unreal.

Great to see Dana Dimel (and Kellis Robinett!) get some well-deserved recognition.
here's the first video on the new channel, it's about the team that ACTUALLY invented the Tush Push years before the Eagles, so you can appropriately thank them or yell at them depending on whether you think the Tush Push is good (correct) or bad (wrong)

Okay, @luketscribe.bsky.social hasn't posted about it here, so:
Saturday, in the Central Washington/TAMU-Kingsville game, the refs called offsetting pass interference on one play.
Anyone ever seen this happen before? I can see how it would in theory, but nobody at BotC can recall having seen it.

My ~70-year-old mother who spent most of her life as a Republican in small-town Kansas will be proudly protesting. I'll have to ask if she considers herself Marxist, socialist, antics, anarchist and/or pro-Hamas.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

We should also talk about what ABJECT BULLSHIT the erased Jayce Brown touchdown was.
You can't be rewarded for RIPPING THE RECEIVER'S HELMET OFF, but that was ultimately the difference in the game.

Yes that's a face mask but the referee really should have played advantage on that one and let Jayce score.

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents.
He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Before the Seahawks played their first preseason game I had the chance to sit down with Yakima's Cooper Kupp to talk about what it means for him to be back in Washington State and how he fits in Seattle's offense.

Russia's team is banned from the World Cup because of Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. It would make no sense to allow Putin to attend, but it is FIFA and the Trump administration we're talking about...
Trump: "I was just sent a picture from somebody who wants to be there very badly. He's been very respectful of me and our country but not so respectful of others. But he'll -- I'm gonna sign this for him. But I was sent one. That's a man named Vladimir Putin, who I believe will be coming."

Just when you thought Trump could not possibly be a more unserious person he pulls out this hat/trophy combination. Yikes.
