This review at the end of the first quarter of the Baylor game is so dumb. It should not have been a shot clock violation because the ball hit the rim. Baylor should have been able to keep possession and play on.

Maybe, after everything Baylor has gone through this week, maybe it’s a good thing we have an unemotional, cerebral coach.

As much as I want to laugh at A&M for this stupidity, this move is incredibly damaging to higher ed as a whole, esp. in TX.
Alumni need to use the critical thinking skills they developed learning when to plant and what to plant and fight this administrative overreach!

Who got to them, and why did they flip? Was it donations? Favors? Dirt?

What makes this more frustrating is that Dems were winning.
They had public opinion
They had base enthusiasm
They had Trump making tactical mistakes every day
And they lose

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:
Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

If Sen. Schumer leads a group of Democrats to cave on the government shutdown, I expect both of you to publicly challenge his status as minority leader. If you do not, I will assume you are both okay with the deal & surrender.

That Mamdani speech needs to be posted in and rewritten by all DNC candidates and their platforms. He (among others) is showing the way to win back this country from the authoritarians and oligarchs.
