I drove from Mississippi to Wyoming for a conference. I went through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado on the way there. I went through Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and then the east side of Arkansas on the way back. Several things occurred to me.

Texas is killing the integrity of the sport.

@Lubbockist I think Tech needs to do a statue of Clifford B. Jones and place it near the stadium.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

We managed to find it on a map when we liberated it from the Nazis after it surrenders in like an hour.

If I'm Caitlin Clark this is what I would do.....

Ride out this next year and a half to finish her rookie contract, do not re-sign before then, and become a free agent. Meet with the teams/coaches she is interested in playing for, ensure it's a better fit than where's she at right now, recruit some players to join her where she's going to play, and then go shine somewhere else. It's very clear her & Steph White aren't the right fit for each other, the style CC wants to play doesn't align with Steph's system, and Steph just doesn't seem to like her much based off what we've seen in the past. The body language, the words spoken in press conferences, and her actions are making it hard to believe this relationship is going to last.

This will be the time where the ball is in her court, she controls the decision and her future, and the perfect chance to go play wherever she wants. She just doesn't look happy on the court like we've seen before.

Just my 2 cents......

[JeremyGiggy @JeremyGiggy]

Everyone keeps talking about officiating.

I decided to start tracking it.

Every Caitlin Clark game. Every official. Every crew.

📊 Win-loss record.
🏀 Free throws.
🚨 Personal fouls.
🟨 Technical fouls.
🚩 Flagrants.
📋 Discipline history.

The goal isn’t to prove a narrative.

The goal is to replace opinions with data.

This is just Version 1.0.

The database will grow after every game, and every official’s report card will evolve with it.

No cherry-picked clips.

Just the numbers.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

WNBA players hate Caitlin Clark and cheap shot her because she’s white and straight. That’s despite the fact that she’s the only reason most of them are getting paid anything at all.

I'm fascinated by the pettiness that is the @Big12Conference . When I was living in my home state of Michigan developing my love of college sports as part of my school newspaper staff my knowledge of Tx Tech didn't extend much past Michael Crabtree's catch and their quirky coach.

But since moving to Texas I've learned a lot more. I've enjoyed following and, yes, defending them from all the virtue-signaling hypocrites who have attacked them over pulling an SEC and getting an injunction to sidetrack NCAA ineligibility. I'll go to my grave believing that if Sorsby had chosen LSU over TT we'd have heard a lot less about it and Sorsby would be suiting up this fall in Baton Rouge.

A big part of the difference is the SEC supports it's own. They've had seemingly countless injunctions in that league yet those schools don't openly criticize each other. They may hate each other behind closed doors, but if that's the case we'll never hear about it in public.

The Big 12, on the other hand, had bitter coaches and athletic directors who couldn't wait to find someone in the media to talk about internal meetings about TT and their outrage that TT would dare consider playing it's $5M portal QB after a judge made him eligible.

And now we're finding out more and more about Cincinnati doing EXACTLY what the others were accusing TT of wanting to do -- knowingly playing a QB who gambled on his own team.

Except Cincy tried to sweep it under the carpet despite being notified in 2024 according to USA Today and Sorsby's agent. Yet there is no outrage for the Bearkats from TCU's Sonny Dykes, or Kansas State's foul-mouthed Gene Taylor, or any of the others who were so outraged at TT. And ever the hypocrite, Cincy even had the gall to vote for sanctioning TT.

There's some indication that behind the scenes only Oklahoma State was supporting TT for doing what 99% of the other universities in the country would do under the same circumstances. That makes sense to me because at the end of the day TT and OSU are probably the most valuable athletic departments and the natural candidates to fill the void left by Texas and Oklahoma.

So why is the Big 12 so petty compared to the SEC when it comes to having each other's backs? My guess is the Big 12 is full of have-nots who are extremely insecure at the thought of anyone becoming the 900 lbs gorilla that TT has quickly become. In the SEC, much like the Big Ten, there are a bunch of gorillas so everyone is pretty secure.

But the Big 12 only has TT and not much else unless OSU returns to prominence or BYU continues breaking through on a regular basis. And the insecurity that comes from that fact means articles like the Iowa State write-up below are never going to defend the league heavyweight. They're just going to be petty, virtue-signaling, and bitter.

I guess the moral of the story is that have-nots seem to only be happy with other have-nots.

@RossDellenger @YahooSports We could see some quick moves if this bill looks likely to pass.

[Flatland Sports🌵♠️ @flatland_sports]

The right way of course was to play him and sweep his gambling under the rug while the wrong way was to get him help and follow the established rules and protocols

[105.3 The FAN @1053thefan]

Sorsby's agent Ron Slavin: "The people I feel worse for besides Brendan is Texas Tech. I think where they messed up was they talked too much. If anybody should be questioned or be catching heat it should be Cincinnati because they knew for 2 years and never said anything..."

[Allen Corbin @allencorbin]

Cincinnati Football started a player for 2 seasons knowing he gambled on college sports.

[Some.BYU.Dude @ByuSome]

Cincy should be super punished...
