A look back at the 2026 seasons in Washington, D.C. What made this year unique was the severe cold and ice cover in late January and early February. I've never seen outdoor ice skating and hockey games in D.C. for two weeks. @capitalweather

By my final count, of all the times we saw Kyle Whittingham on screen, his microphone was positioned: Above his head: 18 times With no headset: 1 time In front of his mouth: 2 times

Hand up. This is my fault for saying "just give me a National Championship and I won't complain for at least five years."

Michigan's offense hasn't just failed to improve this season. It's gotten progressively WORSE. Getting shut out for 58 minutes by one of the worst Michigan State teams in program history is about as damning an indictment as you'll find. Bad football. Plain and simple.

Bryson Kuzdzal almost fumbled earlier. Now he puts it on the ground and Michigan State recovers. Related: Jordan Marshall has two carries for 4 yards.

The vibes haven't been this bad since Hoke's last year in 2014. Boos echo in The Big House. Just another inexplicable half of offense from this staff. Same stuff, every single week. Definition of insanity. Someone has to stand up and say this isn't acceptable.

Truly, some of the most disgraceful offensive football I've ever seen this season. And tonight is as bad as it's been all year. You can only blather about needing to coach it better for so long.

Dylan Larkin has sealed his legacy in his hometown. Whatever goodwill there was is gone. He quit on his team trying to force a trade. The Red Wings say they'll wait as long as necessary to get a good return. nhl.com/news/red-wings-will-…

Kyle Whittingham is an Urban Meyer plant. Nothing else makes sense.

He has said this multiple times this season. Where is the accountability? Why is Beck still making the calls? Can you not override him in that spot? What was said after the call? HOW ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS?!
"That was not a good football call," says Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham

Total meltdown for Michigan. Horrendous play call at the goal line, sack, missed FG. Can't make this many mistakes and expect to beat the defending champs.

Watching Michigan with two different quarterbacks, it's hard not to conclude that Michigan's offensive problems are more OC Jason Beck than it was Bryce Underwood or is Tommy Carr.

✅ Signed into law by @POTUS @RepPfluger’s Mystic Alerts Act strengthens lifesaving public safety communications by ensuring Americans are always able to receive emergency alerts when it matters most. We’re helping keep all Americans safe and informed.
Today, Thursday, October 22, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed into law: H.R. 952, the "Reversionary Interest Conveyance Act," which directs the Department of the Interior to convey the reversionary interest of the United States in certain land in Sacramento, California; and H.R. 7022, the "Mystic Alerts Act" which requires the Federal Communications Commission to establish any requirements necessary to allow commercial mobile service providers to transmit emergency alerts by satellite.

#Giants QB J.J. McCarthy threw for 243 yards in the 4th quarter despite coming off the bench. It’s the most passing yards in a 4th quarter by any player this season and the 2nd-most passing yards in a 4th quarter by any QB who didn't start over the last 25 seasons.

11 years ago, we rallied as the Michigan community around a family. We prayed for them, we wore orange for them, & we cried with them one horrible day in November. Today, that little boy beside his grandpa, 2nd from right, walked back onto that field and led Michigan to victory.
