The NCAA should offer the Texas Tech players a special portal window. Maybe theyโre all fine playing with a gambler who may choose to throw an incompletion to hit the under on a prop bet, but if not, they should have a chance to leave. These are truly special circumstances.
Never forget when Kyle Busch spotted this fan wearing his hat while driving next to her in traffic ๐ฅน
This is one of the most wholesome interactions you'll ever see.
My father-in-law is auctioning off his 1954 Ford Tutor Customline. Itโs a beaut. Plz RT and share with anyone you know who might be interested.

Every Christmas Eve, I think about George Bailey.
He dreamed of escaping Bedford Fallsโof shaking off the dust of a small town, building skyscrapers, exploring the world. Instead, he stayed. He ran the Building & Loan his father left behind. He sacrificed his college money, his honeymoon savings, his chance to see the world, over and over, because people needed him.
By the time the crisis hits, George feels like a failure. His life looks like one long series of missed opportunities, thwarted ambitions, and quiet resentments. He stands on the bridge, convinced the world would be better without him.
Then Clarence shows him the truth: a Bedford Falls without George Bailey is a darker, meaner, hollowed-out place. The people he quietly helped, the small acts of integrity he performed without recognition, the risks he took to protect othersโthose werenโt detours. They were the substance of his life.
The filmโs deepest insight isnโt just that โno man is a failure who has friends.โ Itโs that real impact is almost always invisible in the moment. The lives you steady, the small kindnesses you extend, the responsibilities you shoulder when no one else willโthese things ripple outward in ways you may never see.
A strong sense of purpose doesnโt erase pain; it transforms it. It doesnโt merely explain why hard things happened. It asks: What are you now responsible for because they happened?
Faith, at its best, does the same. It doesnโt promise that everything was โmeant to beโ in order to make suffering palatable. It invites you to look at what has been entrusted to you in light of what youโve endured.
Georgeโs story reminds us that meaning is rarely found in the grand escape, but in the faithful presence. The dreams we surrender donโt always vanishโthey often become the raw material for something more enduring than we imagined.
If youโre carrying the weight of roads not taken, of dreams deferred, of a life that feels smaller than you once hopedโwatch Itโs a Wonderful Life again tonight. Not as nostalgia, but as revelation.
You may not see the full difference youโve made yet.
But itโs there.
And it matters more than you know.
Merry Christmas, friends.

The things I could say about this man.
I could make the longest post about how great a coach he is. How he took over a program after a legend and elevated it, and won a Big 12 championship. How he landed two of the best recruits in K-State history. How he has handled criticism with grace. How he loves his team and his players and this University and this City with all his heart and soul.
Instead, I want to share these pictures of @CoachKli, and I want to tell him THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart, and from my family to yours, THANK YOU. God only made a handful of men like Chris Klieman, and I am privileged to call him a coach and friend. I am eternally grateful to him, and he deserves every moment of fun and family time he will get going forward. #EMAW forever, Coach Klieman. No one has exemplified #Family more.
