  1. @dieworkwear is always a fun follow.
  2. Holy crap that call - and pass - and catch by McCallister!
  3. Just an aside, but hearing a couple Longhorn Band shorties from the TCU band in this game. Their new director came from the LHB, so that makes sense.
  4. Utter crap call against TCU, but then they recover a fumble after the punt and pick up right where they left off on offense.
  5. I am so, so, so utterly tired of this performative bullshit from our AG. And now that whole Turning Point media ecosystem is dogpiling TCU (and their obsession on X with this week's in-person Pride events honestly makes me worried for their safety a bit). https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2025-10-02/texas-ag-paxton-to-investigate-tcu-over-turning-point-event-school-says-was-not-booked
  6. Another thing I'm learning as a UA parent is that there is a LOT of resentment from the rest of the state towards the growth and success of NW Arkansas. A prime example is all the butthurt in Little Rock and the eastern part of the state over the end of their half a century plus of playing some home games at War Memorial, which has a great gametime atmosphere but is a total dump, and costs the school millions in lost ticket revenue and logistics costs every time they play there instead of on campus.
  7. I've hired grads from blueblood schools that were terrible, and I've hired folks who went to small directional schools who were fantastic. So, YMMV. Anyway, back to football.
  8. That's fair. And I will also say that over our visits up there the past couple years, we've totally fallen in love with the whole Northwest Arkansas region (the hiking/MTB opportunities alone are fantastic), to the point that I would be fine to throw in the towel on the Dallas suburban rat race and relocate up there if I had fewer commitments to keep me here for now.
  9. Well, my kid is in his first year there, in the honors college and Fulbright College of arts/sciences, and so far those classes have been a rigorous and engaging academic experience for him. Their acceptance rate in low-to-mid 70s puts them in the middle of the pack in SEC (on par with Mizzou, LSU, OU, etc.) and the % of accepted applicants choosing to go there is rising, so I imagine you'll see the acceptance rate drop in the next decade. So no, it's not Vandy or UT, but it is definitely improving in that area.
  10. I think the AD said that to wake up a lot of their big money folks to the fact that they’re gonna have to step up in a way they have not previously - and build a new NIL structure.
  11. This doesn't seem great. I agree the Tx Dems need a new strategy, but this is a lot of institutional knowledge and experience out the door a year before the midterms. https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2025-09-25/texas-democratic-partys-move-to-dallas-prompts-top-staff-exodus-roils-organization-ahead-of-2026
  12. Performance at Kennedy Center disrupted by MAGA-hat-wearing (checks notes) gay Republicans recruited by the center’s new president. https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/23/log-cabin-republicans-yasmin-williams/
  13. Active shooter this morning at Dallas ICE office (at I-35E and Northwest Highway). https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-ice-shooting
