@jeffrizz.bsky.social I know Hank is beloved, but is he basically the Mariucci of the O-line, i.e. he can keep a good thing going but can't build? Is there anyone who wasn't already good in college or the pros that has taken a big jump with us?

@davebirkett.bsky.social I'll say what we're all thinking: Is it time to remove or put back the ping pong tables?

One of TV's most underrated shows gave Texas' tech past its due

I enjoyed "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear" by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling when I read it a few years back. I've come to realize that I now see all of American politics through its prism. We are so screwed.
