After hearing every argument from every side this past week, I’ve come to a pretty simple conclusion:
Brendan Sorsby broke a rule.
He was suspended, appealed through the same legal channels available to every student-athlete, and had that suspension reduced to two games through an injunction. Whether people agree with the ruling or not, he is eligible to play.
Texas Tech still hasn’t even indicated whether he’ll start or see the field. That appears to depend entirely on his recovery and progress.
With that in mind. Your manufactured outrage at Texas Tech over this is embarrassing.
Sorsby placed bets on games he did not play in. He did not alter outcomes. He did not compromise competitive integrity. Yet people are treating this like some unforgivable scandal while routinely giving second chances to athletes accused or convicted of far worse.
That disconnect says more about modern sports outrage than it does about Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech.
So yes — I hope he gets healthy.
I hope he succeeds.
I hope Texas Tech wins a lot of football games.
And I hope he has a great NFL career.
In short: Y'all can go to Hell.
Wreck ’em.

@DrunkKimMulkey To be fair, there wasn’t much of a softball team to cheer for before Coach Glasgo got here. Some scandals, constant coach changes etc.
Glasco got here and changed the culture.
