Note: I am spending so much time (see my Twitter/X feed) on this because I LOVE football. There have been too many 'mysterious' endings to games in recent years but Saturday night's was beyond the pale. Add the endorsement of gambling by college sports and it makes it worse. It is time for fans to say STOP!The outcome of Saturday's Western Michigan v Michigan game needs to be overturned by the NCAA. We need universal, not conference-loyal, referees (like the NFL's). The same should be true of all officials from the chain gang to the official timer in the press box. There can be no more double-secret, decoder ring, password-protected 'clocks' that no one can see except (allegedly) the replay booths.

On Kauai, poweroutage.us says 90% of the customers (homes and businesses) are without power. We have not heard from Niihau and I'm not sure we will in the near future. It is a colony of native Hawaiians who often resist communicating with the outside world.
