@GregAbbott_TX Chill out to comments on X critical of the Texas Governor’s fun post showing him dunking a basketball over NY Governor. It is in the long tradition of Governors supporting their state’s sports teams in championship competitions through friendly rivalries. It adds to the fun!
@EmmanuelAcho@TexasFootball ACHO is right. He’s better sports analyst than one last night who said football playoff teams should be picked for season’s “body of work” and not consider who is best now? Can you imagine a college basketball team being left out of March Madness because they lost first game?
President Trump, I hope you heard our Star Spangled Banner performed beautifully at the opening of the World Series. It could inspire both countries to find ways to work together.
TNT’s Inside the NBA just ended with a segment challenging Charles Barkley to “SAY SOMETHING NICE” about . . . .
The grand finale challenge was for him to “say something nice about San Antonio”.
And he did: saying “They have some good margaritas there.”
We do!
@PVAMUPanthers Having watched Tai play basketball from high school thru college into the WNBA and coaching, it exciting to see her named Head Coach!
So proud of her!!
@Mamukelashvili5 What teams Coach Pop built on the court — and throughout San Antonio for decades.
He brought our community together, taught us all lessons, gave us many reasons to celebrate, brought international recognition.
And we know will continue to do so in his new leadership role!
@DonHarris4 Remember how Becky Hammond learned from Coach Pop while recovering from her injury: this could be an opportunity for Wemby to do that, too.
He already has impressive basketball-thinking skills. Concentrating on that could exercise his brain and raise his Basketball IQ more!
@TexasFootball Texas Coach called UT and OU “the greatest rivalry in college football”. While Oklahoma Coach talked of OU having “hatred in its heart for the Burnt Orange Nation” on ABC pregame.
Rivalries are good for sports. Hatred isn’t.
NCAA WFF IOWA v UConn had it all: Team play+ Defense+skill. ESPNSports Center left out much focusing on 1 ref call. No balance of ‘screen must be set’. No time for Finesse of Iowa’s last 2 plays — tossing ball off opponent’s back & throwing high in the air to run out clock!
@SpeakerStraus Folks need to focus NOW on county & legislative races in local districts. Many are uncontested in November so decided in primary. In 2022, only 11% of Texas registered voters voted in GOP Primary; 6% in Democrat Primary. That meant 82% DID NOT VOTE. Your primary vote is key!
@HoustonTexans Houston NFL playoffs in 70s spontaneously turned area into a Hometown Football Mega-City like Friday Night Lights: Community events were pep rallies with fight song; team colors; cheers for the home team. Folks throughout greater Houston felt like a team! Time for a replay!
For UT students, players and fans, celebrate UT sports TODAY at The Moody Center: *Longhorn Football in CFP!
*Horns Undefeated Womens Basketball National Broadcast on ABC from Moody 2 to 4 pm! and Top 20 ranked Horns Mens Basketball as they head to play Marquette this week!
