@KREFsports @TravisSkol Freshman year!! Boomer!!

32 years ago today: DOGPILE IN OMAHA! OU baseball won the 1994 National Championship. The Sooners took down Georgia Tech, who were led by future MLB stars such as Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Varitek and Jay Payton. OU swept its way through Omaha, including a 13-5 win in the championship game.

@MarcSDunham @mckenzielaw

@OGDonWebb @mckenzielaw No, the ncaa cannot do that. That would be considered retaliation and is prohibited under the TI.

Let me tell you how this Sordid Sorsby saga is going to play out. And let me give his lawyers an A+ for advocacy and the judge who issued this imbecilic TRO an F-minus-minus-minus. Appellate courts detest disturbing interim orders like this one. They are "interlocutory," meaning incomplete, and courts of appeals are loath to undo them on a supersedeas basis before a final judgment exists. But the hidden genius is that Sorsby's attorneys somehow found a judge willing to enjoin the NCAA from enforcing its most primal rule: athletes cannot bet on games, and certainly cannot bet on the games they themselves are playing in. Once that order hit, game over. Texas Tech has to abide by it. Sorsby gets to play, gets paid, and makes his millions long before any Texas appellate court could conceivably weigh in on a trial-court order that applies equitable doctrines against the NCAA without even a modicum of contractual basis. Bonkers and unfair, yes, but that's how this cookie is going to crumble. Only thing that keeps Sorsby from playing this fall, in my view, is the publicity heat. Legally, Judge Curry's order will not survive scrutiny. It does not need to. The season starts in September. Maybe that is the strategy? I think so. That's too bad. Nobody wins here. It's a hot mess. I hope Sorsby serves a reasonable suspension, gets the help he needs, and after everything makes it to the first round in the NFL. Addictions are real. The kid is young. This is an interim chapter, not a death sentence and not forever. The problem here is not Sorsby. It is Texas Tech, which recruited him knowing the investigation was underway, paid him $4M, and is now invoking his recovery as the institutional justification for keeping him on the field. Ugliness in Lubbock.

@GeorgeStoia Those who forget history are bound to repeat it.

SEC Network torching OU fans with this Rose Bowl look back. Not cool!

@KREFsports WWBSD?

@Aaron_Torres What will Vegas do with the lines for TT games with him at QB?

@DontAtMeDD Does Cody represent the university in an official capacity or just as a alumni/donor?

"We're a target... if this had happened at LSU, people would say ah it's LSU... but it happened at Texas Tech. They don't want to play because they know [Sorsby] is good and they don't want us to be as competitive." Cody Campbell on schools trying to boycott playing Texas Tech

"It's crazy...because it's not murder, it's not beating somebody..." Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire defends his QB Brendan Sorsby, who's under fire for gambling on his own team's football games:

@kinziehansen How much do I make now and if I stay, how long will it take to earn $1MM in my current position?

Question: If someone offered you 1 Million dollars a year to leave your job and work for the competition, would you go? Just a thought amidst all this portal craziness😂😂 (I obvi stayed at OU to win natties this is just a fun, hypothetical question)

I’m surprised that Garth Brooks hasn’t sued these folks. Over the past year, Hosts of The Murder Man Podcast took the Tom Segura joke seriously. They even wrote a book. They legitimately believe Garth Brooks is a serial killer after finding missing people that correspond to Garth’s tour dates all across the U.S. One of their claims is he used one of his first royalty checks to buy 300,000 acres in Tennessee and also Owasso, OK so he could “hide the bodies” Another claim involves Garth shooting folks in Las Vegas, stuffing their bodies in suitcases and smuggling them in a private jet. I agree Garth is weird but these claims are dumb. No one believes this. It is fascinating though.

@ParkerThune @Josh_Scoop @JasonWitten @arbuckle_ben @SenecaDriver Cleats add 2”

Five-star TE and #Sooners commit Seneca Driver poses with @JasonWitten and @arbuckle_ben on his official visit. When gauging Driver’s true size, consider that Witten is 6-foot-6 and Arbuckle is 6-foot-4. That is a LARGE human wearing No. 0.

@TheTimeTraveler Reverse Uno; no shirt, no shoes, no service?

And that was the moment people found out that white people pay the bills. 😅

@NUCLRGOLF Probably should agree to what a gimme is before teeing off….

Are you giving this putt or making your friend putt it in this situation 🤔 ⛳️

@texasrunnerDFW The Bigfoot discovery potential is vastly undervalued...HODL.

How’s that Pandemic Era Airbnb in Broken Bow, OK working out for you?

Erik Prince dropped a straight-up creepy fact on Tucker Carlson. You close the bathroom door. You pull the shower curtain. But you happily put your phone on the nightstand… where it listens to everything. He says people talk about needing a new mattress in bed and wake up to mattress ads. Even worse: Android phones spike 50MB of data around 3 AM — basically uploading your pillow talk to the mothership. This one actually made me paranoid. I’ve had those exact “how did they know?” moments too many times. We’ve casually invited surveillance into the most private parts of our lives. Do you still sleep with your phone right next to your bed?

@C_3C_3 @redwhitenvrblue The silver lining being perhaps these positions remain unfill long enough to eliminate a reason to have them at all and they are removed permanently from the budget. @VP

Donald Trump is the only President in history to have recess appointments blocked by his own party. The McConnell and Thune Senate Majorities. Republican voters deserve to know the names of each Senator who gaveled in for the 1 minute pro forma sessions to block him. Traitors.

@rickjeff78 @VP

Just heard a wild rumor from someone I trust that works at JPM. The buzz is that Trump has been exploring ways to force Vice President Vance out of office. He cannot fire him legally. Unless Vance resigns, the only way for him to be removed is to be impeached by the House with 2/3rds Senate voting to remove!

Talarico has a nasty battle ahead of him, but everything that needed to happen for Democrats to turn Texas blue has happened. The economy is shit, Trump’s approval is cratering, and the GOP is nominating the worst possible candidate for the general election. At minimum, Republicans are going to spend a small fortune defending a state Trump won by 14%.

@TheDemocrats They’ll probably concede Travis County but otherwise…bless your heart.

Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas.
