WMU DC Chris O’Leary and UM DC Wink Martindale make the cut.

The MAC title race is coming down to the wire, and the final run starts with WMU visiting EMU tonight. See the 16 different ways the league shakes out: mitten-football.ghost.io/mac-title-ra...

CMU QB Angel Flores is OUT for the season finale against Toledo, head coach Matt Drinkall said. Flores would also miss a MAC title game if CMU makes it, Drinkall added. If CMU draws a late enough bowl game, after Dec. 15/16ish, Flores could return.

This has been updated to reflect the MAC's released list of scenarios — it's actually a bit zanier than originally thought!

Focusing on their 'whys' has Eastern Michigan surging into finale vs. Western Michigan ($): mitten-football.ghost.io/focusing-on-...

The irony about congressional republicans whining that this admin is treating them not like junior partners but piss ants is they could end this administration by the end of business tomorrow via impeachment but they're cowards.

Michigan, MSU and WMU have now all occupied the No. 1 ranking during this (still young) hockey season.

Relatedly this is why this Lions season isn’t that concerning atm

This game note for WMU football ahead of the EMU game tomorrow is why CFB rules

It's still infuriating that Condé Nast fired a bunch of really good journalists but went out of its way to hire this walking ethical failure

lol Sewell celebrating before Jahmyr is even past the safety

I reiterate

Also credit to the Giants for rightly sorting out “challenge the Lions makeshift DBs endlessly” as the best strategy because those boys are getting worked rn

The Lions losing because they basically let Jameis get away with the Jameis bullshit would be about on the nose for the 2025 Lions

Shit is inevitable though

The value proposition of Jahmyr Gibbs is twofold. 1.) He makes a good offense even more terrifying/explosive and makes life easier for others. 2.) He can just be the damn offense on days like today.

Mike Kafka deserves COTY for a gameplan that has gotten Jameis through 44 minutes of football without an INT.

Lions doing Michigan cardiologists a solid today

Also MSU is in danger of making the wrong kind of history

My general takeaway from this Lions’ season is Hank Fraley is going to be earning his paycheck getting this OL right — they really miss Ragnow.

Jonathan Vilma caping for that unnecessary roughness penalty is sorry commentary behavior lol

Wan’Dale Robinson is COOKING Amik Robertson rn

Full Jameis experience already in Detroit

Big agree. They are very much hanging at the LOS in the league now (see games vs Michigan and Iowa) and there’s no reason to think the arc doesn’t keep improving with that baseline now there. Still took longer than it should’ve.

oh no GT

The degree to which MSU has actually played OK and is constantly losing on the margins the last month or so has to be particularly infuriating. Hung with Michigan and Penn State until later in the second half, lost at the death against Minnesota and Iowa on the road.

Psychological warfare

Hawkeyes absolutely got away with a grab on that third down

Michigan State was never going to make this easy, huh

OTTO NO

Bryce Underwood that was pretty slick

MSU that’s just brutal

Gentlemen this is unbecoming

Yeah pack it up Syracuse

Iowa-MSU could conceivably end 3-0

Big semifinal performance for the CMU commit

Ryan Lizza is doing with his Substack what YouTubers have already perfected: taking serious allegations they’re personally involved with and turning them into melodrama to deflect from any of their own culpability and wrongdoing and monetize the shit out of it. Not journalism plus it’s embarrassing

Getting unhinged so you don't have to! (I was up way too late working on this lol)

I think my final overarching thought on this is you can draw a direct line from an industry that let Mitch Albom keep his job 20 odd years ago because brand>ethics, mostly, to the natural endpoint of “career rehab for reporter who had an affair with current HHS secretary.”
