Out of all the impossible goals we set (ending hunger, world peace, etc.), I think the least attainable is ppl using the left lane properly

Sports Podcasters: "The Brendan Sorsby situation is destroying the integrity of the sport AND while you're here use promocode DUMBFUCK to bet 5 dollars and win up to 200"

[Francis Peanuckle @TX4LIFE01]

@PeteThamel @max_olson Y’all are pushing this dumb narrative so hard.

[Taylor Stockton @tStocktonTTU]

The least surprising news of all time is that Texas Tech is vilified because of a judge’s ruling in the Sorsby case.

The only issue is Texas Tech did not step one toe out of line in the entire process.

Timothy Dalton in HOT FUZZ (2007) is one of the great casting jokes. A man once criticized for being too intense as James Bond gets dropped into a comedy and turns that exact intensity into the funniest thing in the movie.

using AI instead of commissioning an artist just to show how much you support wage suppression

Sitting at an Irish pub and the booth behind us is talking about Tech softball. Amazing. This is like if you told Indiana fans beyond two years ago that people would be talking about Hoosier football. I love this era of college sports

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

1. Craig Snider resigned on June 9, 2024
2. Glasco was hired on June 20, 2024
3. Texas Tech had 3 girls on the roster when he arrived
4. He brought 4 girls from Louisiana with him who he recruited out of HS.
5. It was late June. HS recruiting was over

So… what should Tech have done for the 2025 season? Not field a team and then go to HS recruiting so they could have a team for 2026 and everyone in the softball universe feels better?

Fact is, he had to build a roster. We have invested donors and one was a member of our softball team in the early 2000’s. He used those resources to put a team together.

Every team in every sport at every university uses the portal to put together the best team possible that they can assemble. He took a badass pitcher and a rag tag team who could small ball the hell out of you to the final game of the season. Maybe just maybe, he’s a good coach.

I love how Coach Signetti is allowed to show up to the worst football program in college football history. Like 134 years and 13 bowl appearances. Flips an entire roster, makes the playoff, the next year wins the whole damn thing and he is absolutely praised for it. Gets $13 million a year for it. Has donors like Mark Freaking Cuban. But since they are Big 10, it’s allowed.

But little ole Texas Tech needs to remember its place in this world and shouldn’t be doing this at all so the blue bloods feel good at the end of the day.

Oh and not embracing it? 😂 we have put literal pump jacks on campus. Our GM for football tweets out “stay mad, buy gas”. Our students hold up signs saying “we love oil money”

We know exactly who the hell we are. We were the school punched down on for years…. And now it’s not fun for everyone else when the rabbit has the gun.

[Red Raider 🌵 @TortillaMafia]

A lot of ignorant people commenting on things they have no idea about.

This is Gerry Glasco. The greatest softball coach in today’s game

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

Newsmax: Why are college kids booing AI during graduation ceremonies?

Me: Because they did everything society told them to do — took on debt, got the degree, worked their asses off — and now they’re graduating into a brutal job market while billionaires openly brag about replacing human labor with AI and robotics. Honestly, I don’t blame them for being angry.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.

Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.

I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.

And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.

And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.

We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.

We fund schools with bake sales.

And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

[Bryant Burleson @bryant_burleson]

Everyone: college athletes deserve to be paid… this is criminal

Texas Tech: pays athletes

@espn and everyone: non stop complaining and can’t believe Texas Tech is paying athletes..
