On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act into law, creating the nation's land-grant university system and opening the doors of higher education to working families across the country.
In Texas, that legislation led to the founding of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, now @TAMU.
The Second Morrill Act of 1890 went further, designating @PVAMU — founded in 1876 — as a land-grant institution and expanding access for generations of students.
@TheDamaniFelder We went through a propensity of feeble millennials (obviously not all), but I see so much of Gen Z learning to think for themselves and shut out the nonsense. Revival and revolution are coming.
@SpursCulture Everyone has some thought about how they think everyone else should act. They're all irrelevant. My favorite part is how much so many people already hate Vic. He's in their heads, no matter what they think the reason is.
@HoopsReceipts@KyleLeith@SpursCulture Just wanted to say that I appreciate the civilized online conversation. It's uncommon. You have my respect for that.
@KyleLeith@HoopsReceipts@SpursCulture Look into Dray punching Jusuf Nurkić in 2023 getting an indefinite suspension that ultimately lasted 12 games. Dray putting Gobert in a head lock in 2023 and getting suspended for five games. Jokić blindside shoved Markieff Morris in 2021 causing Morris to miss 58 games, etc...
@HoopsReceipts@KyleLeith@SpursCulture That's a small list of players. Also, check again for Bron and KD. Both have had multiple flagrants, including a few flagrant 2. Both have skipped media availability from frustration about game outcomes, officiating, or off-court issues. I'll concede that Steph is different.
@HoopsReceipts@KyleLeith@SpursCulture Hasty generalization. "Plenty of Europeans" isn't "all Europeans."
I'm also curious about the indignation you see in him that is completely unheard of in other great players.
@ESPNNBA Love ya Chuck, but you gotta decide if you like peewee or big boy ball. You fuss at folks who mention physicality vs Vic and then you complain about Vic's physicality. BBB popped up like a weevil and kept playing. How would you act if you were shoved by Lambier? 🤔 😉
