“Human history is not the battle of good struggling to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness.

But if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now, then evil will never conquer.”

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

Art Briles has been hired as the head football coach at a D2 school and so is back in the news. If you want to understand why this hire is upsetting for many, here's the long piece @dansolomon.com and I wrote back in 2019 about How Baylor Happened: web.archive.org/web/20190208...

WACO, Texas — There’s not much to recommend spending four years in Waco. Driving into town up Interstate 35 from the south, the endless stretch of Texas nothing fills out slowly. It’s flat in the way ...

UGA is our new OU and Kirby is to Sark what Bob was to Mack.

I don’t want to be here for either of these scenarios yet the universe hath bound them together and lashed them to my soul.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

When I was young, I was told the reason we can't have Communism (or really any social programs at all) because it leads to food lines, violent secret police, extrajudicial gulags, economic hardship, crackdowns on dissent and the press, propaganda in schools, corruption, and wealth inequality.

Like that's so fundamentally Star Wars. Saving what we love. Saving each other. Rian nailed it when he didn't let Finn sacrifice himself, but the choice was still there. He chose a side.

But you don't have to die for a cause. You can live for it.
