The one thing that is making Arkansas fans feel better

September 26, 2026 · Yahoo Sports

As bad as the current reality is for Arkansas football fans and the awful product they are being exposed to, it could be worse. How so, some might ask - it can't really be much worse than this, right? Well, it could be worse: Alex Golesh of Auburn could be getting off to a great start in the SEC. Instead, that's not the case. Auburn lost at home to Florida this past weekend in a battle of first-year SEC head coaches. Jon Sumrall and Florida got the upper hand on Golesh, who is stumbling out of the gate on The Plains.

Remember that Alex Golesh, whose wife is from Arkansas, was heavily rumored to be the next Razorback head coach last fall during the heart of the coaching carousel season. The idea of a successful coach at South Florida - someone who achieved more last year than Ryan Silverfield did at Memphis - coming to Fayetteville was exciting. We also knew that if Arkansas did finalize a deal to hire Alex Golesh, it would get Byrum Brown - the 2025 quarterback for Golesh at USF - as its 2026 signal-caller.

Yes, it's true that Byrum Brown would still be an upgrade over KJ Jackson and AJ Hill at quarterback. However, just imagine how miserable Arkansas fans would be if Brown was really nailing it at Auburn and playing his best football (or anything close to it). There would be a deafening roar of outrage if Golesh and Brown were thriving at Auburn.

Fortunately, they are not. It is removing one dark and explosive talking point from the larger conversation at Arkansas about the athletic director, the head coach, the quarterback position, and the generally sorry state of the football program, particularly the offense. It would be 10 million times worse for Arkansas fans if Golesh and Brown were really putting together something special at Auburn, and if the Tigers were instantly establishing themselves as a threat and a relevant program in the SEC. That scenario is not materializing, at least not now.

So many moments and seasons in sports - any sport, not just college football - are accompanied by the most painful question imaginable: What if? What if this school had hired this coach instead of whiffing on him or hiring someone else? Arkansas fans entered this season dreading the possibility of having to ask themselves "What if?" about Alex Golesh. Not having to do so is a source of immense relief. At least we don't have to talk about this. We can simply worry about the 5,000 other things wrong with Arkansas football. It's a small thing, but it's something.

Roy Keane breaks Man Utd hearts with surprising ’emotional attachment’ comment

Roy Keane breaks Man Utd hearts with surprising ’emotional attachment’ comment

Despite his status as a bona fide Manchester United legend, Roy Keane hardly considers himself a genuine club supporter.

Visit freshyourfeel.com for more information.

The battling Irishman joined the Red Devils in 1993 following his three-year spell at Nottingham Forest.

The midfielder swiftly became a fan favourite thanks to his die-hard mentality and willingness to go the extra mile. He also never shied away from a fight, which made him extremely popular among the 1990s crowds.

Sadly for Keane, his illustrious United career ended on a sour note. A disagreement with Sir Alex Ferguson saw him dropped from the squad. His contract was terminated in November 2005.

The former Republic of Ireland international hung up his boots in 2006 after a short spell at Celtic.

Nowadays, Keane is considered one of the most controversial pundits covering the Premier League, as he hardly minces his words when giving his input, even when he discusses former teammates or colleagues.

In his most recent TV appearance, the Cork native went on to admit his cold stance towards Man Utd, making it clear he isn’t emotionally attached to the club.

“Not too much really. I was very clinical; when I left clubs, I moved on quickly,” said Keane in his chat with Micah Richards on Sky Sports.

“You check the results but not that emotional attachment people think you might have. You want them to win matches, but doesn’t make or break my weekend.”

What to make of Keane’s interesting stance?

For a player who spent more than 12 years at the club and won 20 trophies, one would expect Keane to be a bit more caring towards United.

The Irishman had already suggested he doesn’t consider himself a club supporter during a recent appearance on The Overlap, much to the surprise of Gary Neville, who had taken his colleague’s allegiance for granted.

While Keane deserves plaudits for his honesty, a section of Man Utd supporters might find this blunt admission hard to digest, especially those who grew up idolising the club captain in the 90s and early noughties.

EDITORIAL: Has David Eby done a David Peterson?

September 26, 2026 · Toronto Sun

By calling a snap election for Oct. 24, B.C. Premier David Eby is trying to recreate the success of Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

But he may end up with the political disaster another Ontario premier, David Peterson, caused when, like Eby, he called an early election with no convincing reason to do so.

Visit saltysenoritaaz.com for more information.

Like B.C.’s NDP Premier, Peterson decided to go to the polls early in 1990, his Liberals having won a majority government in 1987.

That decision turned into a historic political blunder as the Liberals were defeated by Bob Rae – then leader of the Ontario NDP – who won a majority government.

Peterson lost his seat and resigned on election night.

David Eby mimicking Doug Ford

Eby is trying to mimic Ford, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Premier.

Ford won a third consecutive majority government last year by calling an early election and making Donald Trump the ballot question.

Ford said he needed a stronger mandate than the 83 seats in the 124-seat legislature he won in 2022 to fight Trump and won, although his seat count actually went down.

Like Ford, Eby wants to make Trump the ballot question. But he may have made himself that question.

Eby called the B.C. election last week, two days after Conservative party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay resigned following months of turmoil within the party since her narrow victory in the leadership race in May.

Since then, there has been a wave of internal defections within the party, including some defectors forming their own party.

Election call has reunited the Conservatives

But Eby’s opportunistic election call has reunited the Conservatives under interim leader Lorne Doerkson, who accepted the job while returning from a vacation in Africa.

An early poll by Angus Reid Institute found the Conservatives now have an eight-point lead on the NDP, a 12-point turnaround from the NDP having a four-point lead less than two weeks ago.

Eby, calling a snap election costing up to $80 million, when the NDP has been in power for nine years and its current majority government had two more years to run, isn’t sitting well with many voters.

Especially so given the massive run-up in the provincial debt under Eby.

While it’s early days in the election, Eby must be wondering if he just lit an exploding cigar.
