@Barsotta I thought he had some flashes of brilliance, but also was inconsistent both hitting and fielding at times. On to the next one.

@AmandaMAtwell It's not just happening downtown but various other neighborhoods around the city as well. People are either J-walking straight into traffic or will be walking down the sidewalk but almost drifting into the street multiple times as they walk. It's getting old. 😵💫

I am so glad all of the World Cup visitors are enjoying their time in Dallas but please I beg of you stop walking into the middle of the traffic in downtown near Dealey Plaza. You are playing with your life. There are crosswalks for a reason.

@redraiderman1 Their offense torching Tech repeatedly on the gridiron circa 2011-2015. 😵💫

@nascarman_rr Not quite one-offs, but I remember Mike Skinner and Ken Schrader running some races for Red Bull in cup circa 2007-2009. Always felt like two older guys was very opposite of the image with their drivers they were going for at the time.

@rachallison1 All that to say, God knows I need grace in all of this myself.
English
@rachallison1 ... and by that I mean judgement in terms of their own flaws or hurts, yet at the same time will then have walls that are sky high while having blind spots to their own issues. It's a vicious cycle to watch.

@DanIsett In continuing with a theme of charity, my only thought is there's some sort of precedent now in the legal world where denying wrongdoing is somehow just as risky legally as admitting it and their athletic comms acted accordingly. But otherwise, I agree that it's a mess.
English
@TravisLofley I don't disagree. However, what they produced was a word salad instead of flatly denying any wrongdoing. It invites further scrutiny and keeps the story alive.
My hunch is that's the opposite of what they wanted.
English
Is everybody who works in college athletic departments bad at comms?

Cincinnati statement to @On3: "We will reiterate what we have said before. All of our student-athletes receive extensive gambling education multiple times throughout the year, and we would never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA sports wagering regulations. If we ever became aware of impermissible wagering, we would report to the NCAA and comply with sanctions." on3.com/news/brendan-s…

@pickdegen @ShelbyCHilliard Also, shoutout baseball for putting in some nice work in the portal and the incoming recruiting class that is flying under the radar.
English
@pickdegen @ShelbyCHilliard If we're talking about who I think we're talking about, there's one or two big names in the euro pipeline that are being heavily linked to Tech. Plus, a certain someone is also linked to a sooner return from injury than initially expected, which changes the whole roster dynamic.

Texas Tech coaches across campus have been putting the WORK in on the recruiting trail.
Everyone eating.

@redraidertech @RichOToole DKR would be plenty large, though I'm fairly certain FIFA wants the matches at pro-level stadiums, plus even if the could UT would have to spend a ton of money to reconfigure the field level to fit the dimensions of the pitch.

Are there no World Cup games being played in Austin or San Antonio?

@KirkLeeNoles @rollin_raiders I was also told college sports are dead. Dang, call off the funeral, I guess.

@RTB_II I may not survive until kickoff on September 5th, I fear.

Anyone feel particularly “in shambles?”

99% of Tech’s fanbase is in shambles.

@rachallison1 @BornAgainBalaky We also begin to seek out people and things that look like an Insta/Tik Tok reel from it rather than actual places and subcultures in the margins where real people and nuance live. So it then feeds a cycle of what we see becoming what we seek. Rinse and repeat.
English
@TravisLofley @BornAgainBalaky Oh my gosh YES. People see something on social media a couple times and adopt the mindset that all people behave/think that way

I have a question
Women who are “I only date 6’ or taller”
If the guy hits every or most marks but is shorter than that is it really a deal breaker? Or if he is 5’11 but hits every and most marks is it really a deal breaker?
English
@rachallison1 @BornAgainBalaky Basically, someone said something along the way that got captured by the algorithm and subliminally fed into the form of a mind virus. One of many things that we've been sold with a message that's the equivalent of "dog food tastes good, you should eat it!" 😅
English
@rachallison1 @BornAgainBalaky I'm also convinced that dating discourse, male or female, is increasingly if not entirely now driven by groupthink from the repetitive, quick hit/hot take nature of social media. The same platforms existed a decade ago before the algorithm revolution, but the arguments did not.

@alwaysrealracin @Kerrybutno I think he was also at the former drivers and legends reunion at Darlington back in the spring as well. He sounded and looked good during that time as well.
English
@Kerrybutno I saw him say he struggles with his left side being numb due to blood flow and some other neurological injuries but I think he has improved a whole lot with time
