Jim Mora is getting a good idea of what he has to do to right the ship at Colorado State.

[Kevin Lytle @Kevin_Lytle]

Halftime: Hit me with your thoughts

[Dave Burrill @TMSisbest]

Jim Mora has work to do at CSU.

[Dave Burrill @TMSisbest]

Might as well recruit high school players to play defense.

[Matt L. Stephens @MattStephens]

90 rush yards allowed in 6 minutes. CSU passing defense has been pretty good this year but this is so brutal against the run.

You'd better not - your defense is terrible.

WE CAN'T STOP SCORING!!!

[Dave Burrill @TMSisbest]

They are going to need it seeing how bad they are tackling.

[Kevin Lytle @Kevin_Lytle]

Unreal! Deep ball first play on offense and K'saan Farrar dots it to Terrence Smith for a 74-yard TD.

Incredible start for CSU

Not sure who the greatest is; I don't pay that much attention to their line of drivel. I do think Rodney Dangerfield belongs somewhere among those listed.

Pregame college too. Nothing but a bunch of hype.

[Charlie Cook @charliecooknash]

How many of you, like me, are just skipping pre-game shows for the NFL and for college football? Nothing constructive or informative is ever imparted, and it's just a handful of blabbers

Victor Davis Hanson is not Jewish. He is a renowned American classicist, military historian, author, and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution - making his fact-based defense of Israel all the more significant.

In one of his recent interviews, Hanson gave a fascinating analysis of four accusations repeatedly made against Israel - apartheid, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

His conclusion was clear: These slogans collapse when confronted with historical facts.

Apartheid?

Approximately two million Arab citizens live in Israel with the right to vote, serve in parliament, study at universities, practice their religion, and participate throughout Israeli society.

Meanwhile, many of the countries accusing Israel of apartheid officially privilege Islam and severely restrict religious conversion, minority communities, and basic freedoms.

Settler colonialism?

The Jewish connection to the land of Israel is supported by nearly 4,000 years of historical, archaeological, linguistic, and biblical evidence.

The Jewish people did not arrive in their ancestral homeland as foreign colonizers. They returned to the land from which foreign empires had repeatedly expelled them.

Meanwhile, Arab armies conquered enormous portions of the Middle East and North Africa. The Ottoman conquest transformed Hagia Sophia - once the greatest church in Christendom - into a mosque. Yet those historical conquests are rarely described as settler colonialism.

Ethnic cleansing?

Where were the demonstrations when Turkey expelled Greeks from northern Cyprus and moved Turkish settlers into the occupied territory?

Where was the outrage when Azerbaijan drove more than 100,000 Armenians from their ancestral homes in Nagorno-Karabakh?

Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani were remarkably quiet.

Genocide?

When Israel was established, approximately 170,000 Arabs remained within the country. Today, around two million Arab citizens live in Israel, and the Arab share of its population has increased rather than disappeared.

Genocidal regimes do not cause the population they supposedly seek to eliminate to grow dramatically in both number and proportion.

As Hanson explained, many of those accusing Israel are projecting the sins of their own nations, movements, and histories onto one tiny, democratic Jewish state.

Why is Israel judged by a standard applied to no other nation?

The answer is becoming painfully clear - because Israel is predominantly Jewish.

Accusations may travel quickly, but historical facts still matter.

Can't vouch for the integrity of this author (I don't know who he is) but I was struck by this thought, not by the replies.

[Tevin Macharia Mukabana @TevinMacharia]

Did you know Jacob was buried with Leah, not Rachel?
Not the woman he loved.
Not the one he cried for.
Not the one he labored fourteen years to have.
Leah.
In Genesis 49:29–31, when Jacob was about to die, he gave a clear instruction:
“Bury me… in the cave… where Abraham and Sarah are… Isaac and Rebekah… and there I buried Leah.”

Pause.
Rachel was his passion.
Leah was his alignment.
Rachel was the love story.
Leah was the covenant story.
Rachel had his emotions.
Leah carried the promise.
Rachel was buried on the roadside (Genesis 35:19).

Leah was laid in the ancestral grave of covenant—the lineage of God’s dealings.
And here is the mystery:
Leah was the rejected one.
The one Jacob didn’t choose.
The one he endured, not desired.
But heaven chose her.
From Leah came Judah.
From Judah came Jesus Christ.
Let that settle in your spirit—
The woman rejected by a man
became central to God’s redemptive plan.
This is where many people miss it:
We are all trying to be “Rachel”—
seen, desired, celebrated.

But God builds legacy through “Leah seasons”—
hidden places, painful processes, quiet obedience.

Jacob’s final decision was not emotional—
it was spiritual alignment.
At the end of his life,
he didn’t choose love…
he chose covenant.

And that is the gospel pattern:
God does not build His purposes on human preference.
He builds on grace and election.
So if you feel overlooked…
if you feel like second choice…
if life has not chosen you first—
hear this clearly:
God’s choice overrides man’s rejection.
You may not be preferred by people,
but you can be positioned by God.
And when God positions a man,
history is rewritten.

Because in God’s hands,
the rejected become vessels,
the unseen become pillars,
and the overlooked become eternal significance.

If you are in your Leah season—
you are not losing.
You are being written into something bigger.

It’s been a few days since the Western Michigan vs Michigan game and people on social media are still trying to tell you that you didn’t see what you saw.

Don’t let them trick you. We witnessed corruption at its finest. I’ll leave you with this. If the roles were reversed, do you think the refs put 1 second back on the clock for Western Michigan?

[Dave Burrill @TMSisbest]

Yeaaaa!!!

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

The MAC now says the Big Ten blew it and violated instant replay protocols and Western Michigan actually won the game.
