[Gamblin' Gauchos 🎙️ @GamblinGauchos]

Not going back to tell every single person in my replies that they were wrong, but there were basically two sides over the past week:

1. Texas Tech is evil, corrupt, cheating, and will do anything to win, and you’re a naive dumbass if you think they won’t play Sorsby in the fall

vs.

2. Me, telling everyone he wouldn’t play for Texas Tech

I asked repeatedly where Joey McGuire or Kirby Hocutt said Sorsby was playing. Shared statements, video, etc., asking people to have some sense and read between the lines a bit.

They refused, whipped themselves into a frenzy over something that didn’t happen (and was never going to happen), and now that they’ve been proven wrong they will not behave any differently or take any accountability. Oh well.

Texas Tech deserves blame in two areas: the poor vetting of Sorsby in the portal and the poor PR in the wake of the injunction. Both matters of incompetence, not malice.

Texas Tech ends the Sorsby saga having broken no NCAA rules, and getting a young man with diagnosed mental health issues the help he needs.

That, of course, will not be the takeaway from random fans across the country, who were misled at every turn by national media either too stupid of too dishonest to do their jobs well. But that’s fine; none of those people respected Texas Tech before any of this, despite whatever revisionist history they want to spout now. These people have *always* talked down on Lubbock, our NIL, the Big 12, whatever.

Onward and upward. It’s Will Hammond time, we have an amazing coaching staff and GM, elite recruiting, and it’s time to turn the page and go for another Big 12 championship.

We did nothing wrong and still get to be the villain 😈 Fun times ahead. Red Raider nation. LFG #WreckEm

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

What wild 24 hours. Here are 3⃣ misconceptions/misinformation I'm seeing regarding the Brendan Sorsby case:

1. He bet on games he played in.

He did NOT bet on any games he suited up for.

While not great he bet on games while redshirting, he never bet on a game he suit up in.

2. The Judge in this case is from Lubbock.

Ken Curry is a retired Tarrant County (Fort Worth) judge that graduated from Houston and UT-Arlington. He is currently eligible to practice law and his practice is listed in Colleyville, TX (over 300 miles from Lubbock).

3. Texas Tech did something wrong.

He made all of his bets before taking a snap at Texas Tech. Cincinnati was alerted to his potential gambling activity (per ESPN).

Texas Tech declared him ineligible and will now follow the temporary injunction (like the rest of the NCAA).

Michigan got caught cheating, won a natty, and barely got a slap on the wrist. A coach literally smashed his phone and threw it in a pond. This thing’s been broken for years. Hate all you want.
