Texas is riding Tre Wisner like a feature back the last 2 games (59 carries/4 receptions combined; 363 total yards), but his season workload is still fairly light by comparison. He can handle the extra work, and gets the 2 or 3 week rest after the SECCG (depending on outcome). #HookEm #CFB 🏈

The single concession that A&M got was the first game at their place. The Aggies sold it to the hilt. And when the time came, Texas went in there and kicked their ass. Order has been restored. #HookEm

The ESPN chyron just said that Boise edged Wyoming, and Miss Calli said "Christ that had to be frustrating."

Well into the conference schedule, and I'm forced to conclude that SEC officials aren't a significant improvement over Big 12 officials. And that's saying something. #HookEm

Stolen base success rate just keeps going up up up!
Here it is for each of the last 100 seasons.
2023 was the first time it ever cracked 80%, and 2024 saw just a small dip to 79%, still second-highest ever. And remember that total number of stolen bases is also quite high these days!

Quick note of thanks for the follows/follow-backs so far. I know some of you from that other joint, and I'm getting ramped up over here. Will focus mostly on sports.

ADM Raymond Ames Spruance -- Nimitz's best seagoing commander of the war. I'll always maintain that Spruance rather than Halsey deserved the final FADM promotion.

My son came into my room around 2 am and asked if it was over. I'd prepared him for it. We sat on the bed and talked for a solid hour. He's so bright; moral compass right and true. I let him stay, like when he was little. Then I watched him sleep, wondering what kind of country we're leaving him.
