What a cool end to a fantastic night with @therejects playing in the rain at flippinโ Navasota High School after a @TheSavBananas pop-up game. Def a coverage memory that will stick with me for a while.

50 years ago today, Robert Earl Keenโs car caught fire at the second Willie Nelson 4th of July picnic near College Station. Hereโs the story from his โNo. 2 Live Dinnerโ album in 1996, paired with video of the fire from the Texas Archive of the Moving Image.
โIโve always said Iโve got the best fans in the world and Saturday night at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas says it all. Thanks to @parkermccollum and @catieofferman who were both a huge part of that night and thanks to all of you Aggies out there who made this happen. What a special place!! I will always remember you.โ โ GS
HONORING CHIP: Chip Manning, the 'C' in C&J BBQ passed away on Monday. We went into our archives today to find this story we aired in 2001 when he was recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the area.

Late Saturday, online sources including TexAgs, 247Sports, and Rivals .com had reported Texas A&M was set to offer its head coaching position to Stoops BUT that is not longer happening.
Hereโs the update: https://t.co/lop3qdL2An
Kentucky is 7-5 this season and went 7-6 last year; Stoopsโ best year came in 2021 when they went 10-3 with a Citrus Bowl win https://t.co/EQErZEKV3Y
@Toth_4_Texas @GregAbbott_TX Ignorance is a curse. Gov nor Speaker have influence on my voucher stance which has held strong before, during, and after your photo. When Gov staff asks you to introduce him in your district, it's the courteous thing to do. Ask me what the intro speech said before I edited it.
