UT art class could have done better for free.
didnt they also try to spend $10 million on new art for the airport instead of just accepting donations?

another track where it was almost impossible to pass. Thanks to shitty driving knocking cars out of the race and debris fields there was some interesting strategy offsets at the end but no passing in the top 6.
The running game was fine on paper but the third and fourth down conversion failures ended those drives. They were empty yards that didn’t threaten Ohio State. No explosive plays, and then couldn't convert with the run on 3rd or 4th and short.

Yes, some cities saw a rise in (for example) homicide rates during covid with some going up 30%. Austin went up 100%
Crime is going "down" this year when compared to Garza's other worst years but still significantly higher than before he took office.
Over 75 experienced prosecutors left the Travis County District Attorney's Office between 2021 and February 2024

Travis County has largely relied upon the DA’s office to act on cases within 90 days. But when Garza took office in 2021, he all but disbanded that unit and assigned the duty to trial court attorneys who are already busy with settings and trials.

I believe his last primary opponent had also left the DAs office after Garza took over.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The charge toward a 21-year-old man who was accused of organizing a street takeover in Austin in July 2023 was dismissed. This comes after he was convicted in an assault case that happened later that year, according to Travis County court documents.
The street takeover occurred at the intersection of South Lamar Boulevard and Barton Springs Road on July 29, 2023. Court records showed the breakdown of messages exchanged between the organizer, Jacobi Patrick Erickson, and another person in the days leading up to the events in Austin.

Neighbors concerned after students find used needles on Joslin Elementary playground

looked like they were wrestling in a YMCA hall, and according to stories the victim is a Vet who joined the wrestling to help with his PTSD. I doubt he was counting on a lucrative career.
Someone said earlier, a fully trained MMA fighter knows more than most just how dangerous what he did to a fully defenseless unconscious person is. He tried to kill him and should be charged as such. Will be a miracle if the victim doesn't have brain damage.
It's attempted murder
