This is going to be a multi-tweet thread.
I will start out with the big news so as not to bury the lede.
After 5.5 great years with the @HoustonChron /Houston Community Newspapers, today was my last day.
In related news, I will be starting my MBA at the University of Alabama.

While I don't agree with this ruling, I can completely understand a judge in Lubbock County ruling in favor of Texas Tech.
That survival/self-preservation instinct is strong! 😁

[ESPN @espn]

Breaking: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

Sorsby cannot play in Texas Tech's first two games, which was the penalty his legal team suggested to the NCAA.

[Elliott L. @TheLapinator]

@Matty_Symz The Rockets (and many sports teams) need to bring back the whimsy (and the coolness) of the 90s

Vassell deciding to dunk the ball at the end of the game (rather than hold it for the buzzer) is a #badbeat for under bettors with an O/U of 213.5.
