Texas allowed a 5 star with pending domestic violence charges to play 38 games in the 2022-23 basketball season. I’m sure you weren’t in favor of opponents boycotting those games, right?

@GaryParrishCBS My biggest issue with the entire situation is that the NCAA caused this. They let a coach who bet on his own team off with a 10 game penalty. They allow drug & alcohol addicts to play if they seek help, but not gamblers. This was inevitable because they haven't been consistent.

@Juz_10 Like I said, the judge's address would've been on a Texas Tech message board hours ago if he'd ruled a different way. It's much easier for his life to just rule the way he ruled. Suggesting otherwise is obviously dumb/gullible/stupid.

I usually like it when the NCAA loses in court. But today felt different. We all decided a long time ago that gambling on the sport you play should be a career-ender. But Brendan Sorsby, some great lawyers and a judge facing community pressure just said otherwise. Not great.

@jeremysports @byBDavis Ok, fair. My point is that people are blaming Tech for this. All Tech did was appeal the NCAA decision (like every other school does every time) and that appeal was denied. Case closed. Sorsby then filed the injunction against the NCAA, NOT Tech. FWIW, I disagree with the ruling.

@Juz_10 @byBDavis I didn’t say that Tech cheated or circumvented anything. I simply said that if a bottom of the roster guy did the same thing, they would not be making all these statements and publicly advocating for his eligibility.

Cody is 100% right here. This really isn't a Texas Tech issue, per se. School A is fighting for Player B, as it absolutely should. This is a system broken beyond repair.

@brettachapman @Eddie_Rado The butthurt heard round the country. My God, for a bunch or journalists and lawyers, ya'll are some of the dumbest morons around. NOT from Lubbock, he's from Tarrant County (Ft Worth). But facts don't matter I guess. Whatever you have to make up to frame your narrative.

@Eddie_Rado It’s a total joke. There’s so much money, local political pressure, and influence involved with this issue and these local yokel state courts that it’s a mockery of the justice system 9 times out of 10 on these eligibility suits.

One of the last great American traditions in this country: finding a judge that just happens to be an alumni of your school to rule in your favor. What a sport. What a country.

@lackmeftwich806 @brettachapman @Eddie_Rado Facts don't matter to these dimwits. They don't care that Tech had nothing to do with this case, this was Sorsby (not TTU) vs the NCAA. They make up lies to fit a narrative and then "don't care" when you present facts. Well, guess what? I don't care about their opinions either.

@brettachapman @Eddie_Rado This was a judge from 5 hours away in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country completely independent from Lubbock

@jeremysports @byBDavis Sorsby sued the NCAA, Tech did not. Stop saying Tech cheated or Tech circumvented the system, etc. No, they didn't. Sorsby filed the lawsuit. Yes, Tech had skin in the game, but they were not involved in an way, shape or form in this ruling.

@byBDavis If the backup punter at Tech did all the same things that Sorsby has, would they be going to the same lengths to keep him eligible? No, he would’ve been cut and they’d move on and we probably wouldn’t even know about it.

@byBDavis I love everyone that's throwing stones at Tech on this decision. This was Sorsby vs the NCAA, NOT Texas Tech vs the NCAA. Plus, the original judge was a Tech grad who recused himself, as he should. Get mad at U of H, it's their laws cool grad rhat made rhe decision!

@RCMB323 They won't play us in football, but they can't avoid us in softball. Let's go!!!

Revenge is on the mind of the Red Raiders Go get Nija a damn ring!

Let’s go! @TexasTechSB #wreckem

@TexasWayne61 @NewbergReport Surely Martin is getting DFA'd. It's the most logical choice

@NewbergReport Who did we send down?

Wrote this fun one about LHP Robby Ahlstrom two summers ago. He's coming to the big leagues to make his debut (corresponding 26 and 40 moves not yet announced). Originally a Yankees draftee, came over in the Jose Trevino trade. newbergreport.substack.com/p/robby-ahlstr…

@RCMB323 That's on no one but Glasco. Terry was unhittable and he pulls her. Just a mind boggling decision

Brutal

@RyanHyattMedia She had no business being in the game when Terry was unhittable

Baffling, Glasco. Baffling... Someone explain it to me. . .

@LTHDiesel @JarrettDRamirez Then tell your school to quit being chicken shit and schedule us. You know they won't though

@JarrettDRamirez They are about to brag about a home and home with Wake Forrest 😂

#TexasTech coach Joey McGuire says the program is hoping to announce a power conference opponent for 2027 in the next two weeks.

@csconine @PaulCatalina Also, if gambling is an addiction like drugs or alcohol (by NCAA standards), why is admitting to an addiction forgiven unless it's gambling? That's what Sorsby's defense team is gonna argue on June 1.

@PaulCatalina I agree. Now every kid on betting apps needs to be identified and ruled ineligible.

He crossed the Rubicon with what he did. Sucks for Tech. But this is not like NIL or transfer rules. The gambling rules are clear. They have always been clear. Across the board in all levels of sport. Sorsby is no different because of the levels of his bets.

@Evan_P_Grant Well, this is the most embarrassing team of all time, so it fits

3 outs away from one of the most embarrassing no-hitters of all time.

@SleeperNHL An annual tradition like no other.....

Mark Stone is IN for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, per Vegas head coach John Tortorella

@JaredSandler At what point does management give up and start trading what little offensive talent we have off for draft picks? This team has lots of good parts, but the sum is ridiculously awful

Rangers fall to the Angels. Angels secure a series win. Rangers will have a losing road trip. Definitely disappointing to drop these two with two studs on the hill. Missed chances tonight with 11 LOB. Postgame coming up

@Rangers This team is atrocious and embarrassing. Save some money and trade anyone and everyone for any and every prospect

Man, it appears the double whammy of Texas privilege plus an injection of it “just means more” has gotten well into Sark’s bloodstream. I called plenty of @Big12Conference games the last few years and while no one is arguing that the @SEC may still be ahead top to bottom, the suggestion the Horns who lost to Florida, and can we talk about Kentucky could beat the guys in Lubbock with “our 2’s and 3’s” is preposterous. If Bill Little were alive he’d be on the phone saying, “Steve please dial it back?”
