4. Millennials and Gen Z are going to have to answer the call and fix things when it all eventually breaks. I pray we are ready, the future of America depends on it.
Ending my hiatus to share a few thoughts. First on the A&M news and then a couple larger thoughts about America.
1. No group consistently embarrasses Texas A&M more than its Board of Regents. It’s pathetic.
2. And people wonder why our institutional alignment is a fucking joke.
3. The path this country is going down is completely unsustainable. We have SO much more in common with each other than social media algorithms & bad political actors want us to believe. We will fix NOTHING until we log off & come together. And autocracy ALWAYS makes things worse

How hard is it to win on the road in the SEC?
The 7 SEC teams in the AP Top 25 are just 13-12 in true SEC road games this year.
Texas and S. Carolina are the only teams in that group with a winning road record.
Texas 2-0
S. Carolina 3-1
Georgia 2-2
Ole Miss 2-2
A&M 2-2
Vols 1-2
Bama 1-3
The Texas Michelin Guide ceremony definitely showcased one thing tonight - Texas BBQ is the best BBQ in the world & also truly is the best cuisine this state has to offer the rest of the world
The depth of the SEC this year is ridiculous. At least half of the conference is a top 20 team.
South Carolina has been easily playing at the level of a top 10 team its last 4 games. Arkansas is roughly a top 30 team yet is probably the 10th/11th best team in the conference.
Unless they beat Georgia next weekend, this Ole Miss team missing the playoff is an all-time coaching fumble. When they’re on, they’re just as good as any team in the country.
How tf did they lose to Kentucky????
A little over 10 years ago, I stood in this room and had a meal that changed my life and showed me how truly amazing smoked meat could be.
Fast forward to today, and even with all the amazing BBQ restaurants opened since then (many because of Franklin), it still holds up 👏
