Your favorite V.P. of Member Relations (me).
Seattle's Hearing Examiner just blocked WinCo Foods from opening in the old Sam's Club at 13550 Aurora Ave N, a building that's been vacant since 2018. The SEPA appeal was filed by a group called "Lake Washington Working Families." Sounds like concerned neighbors, right? Let's talk about a pattern. /1
IRGC’s Asghar Baqeri, also known as Yazdan Mir, commander of Quds Force Unit 840 responsible for global terror plots, has been eliminated.
Points of clarification on the 09/19 Friday Night @TexasTechFB and @UHCougarFB game: 1. I will re-iterate that Friday nights are sacred in Texas, and high school football is an integral part of our proud culture. It’s different here than it is in other states. 2. Texas Tech’s alumni base is largely centered in the DFW area, which is 300+ miles from Lubbock. A Friday game puts enormous strain on their ability to attend the game. 3. Tech plays a late road game in Corvallis, Oregon prior Saturday -will arrive back in Lubbock at about 4am on Sunday. While we are technically inside the “window” that allows this game to be played, it’s only by a few hours, and will put significant strain on our team, staff - even the equipment managers. 4. @brettyormark and I are friends and have a good relationship. We work well together on many fronts, and Texas Tech is very committed to the Big 12. Brett and I have had our disagreements, but I like the guy and respect his hustle. However, I do stand by a quote I made: the Commissioners work for the Presidents, and the Presidents work for the Boards. The commissioners have not been vested in unilateral authority to do whatever they want. This is an issue throughout college athletics.
New Belmont coach Evan Bradds gets MVC All-Freshman Jack Smiley back. Smiley chose Belmont over following Casey Alexander to Kansas State, his agent Derek Malloy told @TheFieldOf68.
The first establishment will be announced soon for the new Neyland Entertainment District. A patriotic themed restaurant/bar “Red, White & Rocky Top Bar & Grill co-owned by Kid Rock, Peyton Manning, Morgan Wallen and Jason Aldean will be the focal point of the complex.
In awe of the Daily Mail story about Kristi Noem's husband but the most bewildering thing to me is: Why on earth is this coming out NOW the second she's leaving the cabinet?
Bob Huggins gave me the opportunity to stay a Wildcat when he could have told me to pack my bags, exposing me to two more elite coaches in Frank Martin and Brad Underwood. Greatest thing that ever happened to me. 3 Final Four coaches on one staff. How lucky were we?! #EMAW
