NEW: Greg Sankey on Big Ten coaches' comments about the SEC and College Football Playoff rankings:
"One of those head coaches canceled a non-conference game with one of our teams. What I would say is, hey, we’re ready to schedule those non-conference games. If you’re concerned about us being overrated, there’s a full regular season."
He added: "Let’s go. Let’s not run to the microphone in a press conference and complain. Let’s find those opportunities because they’re there."

Most Americans reject naked hatred, and Philadelphia showed us what that looks like this weekend.
About 75 protesters, many hiding behind masks like cowards, showed up to intimidate Jewish-owned businesses.
Philadelphians responded by showing up to shop! Lines stretched out the doors of the very businesses the protesters had targeted.
That’s how it’s done. The bullies are loud and ignorant and they don’t speak for the majority of decent Americans.

Stop saying “Never Again.” Just stop.
It’s happening again. It’s already started. And nobody is doing a fucking thing to stop it.
So Enough.

Love over hate.
Decency over cruelty.
Everyday Americans over a corrupt elite.

The hilarious part is every DSA candidate took AIPAC money from Schumer. They are hypocrites like MAGA Christians.
Thank you Joe. Maybe one day there will be a common sense party that is central…where we respect the principals our country was founded on, protect women and minorities, and support our allies, and especially Israel, the way we should. Fight the extremism and bring this country together again.
After 523 days, my time as a Democrat has ended. Thank you Democrats, it’s been an honor to fight alongside you. I explain myself here. Give it a read. Thanks.👇 socialcontractwithjoewalsh.s…

If trump capitultes to Qatar, it will be capitulation to The Islamic Regime.
That will be the end of Trump's Presidency and a handover of the US to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Let's hope and pray that does not happen.

Nearly 1 in 5 American college students view Hamas favorably.
That should horrify more than just Jews.

Hinging the win entirely on the controversial fumble is hilarious considering Texas should’ve ended the half up 17-10
The overturned catch in the Red Zone had a missed hold on Colin Simmons preventing a sack
Wingo was also held on what would’ve been a TD

When your own model tells you something you don’t want to hear, you test it harder.
My college football rankings have nine SEC teams in the Top 25, and a two-loss Alabama ahead of my unbeaten Utah. The comments said the SEC gets credit for its logo. As a Utah fan, I wanted them to be right.
So I ran four tests:
• What the SEC did against other conferences (10-2 vs. Power 4, 18-0 vs. Group of Five)
• Throwing those 12 games out entirely
• Turning conference strength off completely
• Checking whether my model has overrated the SEC since 2022
The top of the SEC held up every time. The middle didn’t, and that’s the real debate. With the playoff moving to 24 teams, that middle tier is about to become the bubble.
It’s a good reminder that the most useful test is the one designed to prove you wrong.

88 years ago tonight, Nazi mobs tore through Jewish communities across Germany and Austria, burning synagogues and smashing the windows of Jewish homes and shops. By morning, 91 Jews had been murdered and about 30,000 Jewish men were headed for concentration camps.
Kristallnacht didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed years of hate that too many people shrugged off. Antisemitism is making a comeback today, and I won’t shrug it off.
I’ll keep calling it out wherever it shows up, so my kids grow up in a world where Kristallnacht stays in the history books.

Texas not being awarded the fumble at the end of the 2Q because they stopped the forward progress of a receiver falling forward is every bit as controversial as the Manning fumble. That should be included if we're doing an audit of SEC officiating here. I don't see any mention of it.
I usually make my postgame columns available only to subscribers. This one's free cause I think #Mizzou fans deserve to read somebody taking their side against a league that does its teams and supporters a disservice

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS
By Jonathan Gregory
Washington, DC - November 8, 2026
Abdul El Sayed has failed the background check required for classified Senate briefings. The denial blocks him from any session that involves sensitive national security information. Officials who conduct the clearances reported that the review did not meet the standards necessary for access to restricted materials. The failure leaves open the question of what specific issues prevented approval.
Senators who receive classified briefings must clear the same process before they can attend. El Sayed’s rejection means he cannot participate in those meetings. The decision places him outside the normal flow of information that other members receive. Americans who expect every senator to qualify for the same briefings now see one individual excluded by the clearance system.
The denial raises direct concerns about what the background check uncovered. Officials have not released the precise reasons but the result itself is public. Voters who supported El Sayed must now consider whether a senator barred from classified sessions can fulfill the full duties of the office. The clearance failure stands as the official record until any appeal produces a different outcome. The standard remains the same for every member of the chamber.
@TrumpNews
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US Senators do not undergo formal background checks or security clearances for classified briefings; they receive access by virtue of their elected constitutional office. No reports confirm Abdul El-Sayed (elected Nov 2026) failing any such process.
