Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

[Barrett Linburg @DallasAptGP]

There is a rumor going around Dallas real estate and construction circles about a T-Rex.

I have heard it from separate sources. Stay with me, because the setup matters.

At the corner of Knox and the Katy Trail, a $1B project is rising that will overlook Highland Park. Condos, apartments, an Auberge hotel, retail, and restaurants in one development. Michael Dell's MSD Partners and Trammell Crow are behind it.

Dallas has watched the cranes for over a year. It opens this year.

The condos sold out before the building topped out. Word is buyers paid around $2,000 per square foot. Several bought two units pre-construction so the architect could combine floorplans and balconies into something bigger.

$2,000 per foot raises no eyebrows in New York or Hong Kong.

In Dallas? That is 2.5x what Museum Tower fetched, and Museum Tower set the old record.

A great sign for our city. Still not the story.

Bloomberg reported who bought the top two floors: Todd Graves, founder of Raising Cane's. A single floor had been marketed at $25 million. He took both.

Here is the part the reporters missed. The part the construction guys whisper about.

Graves needed both floors locked in before the concrete was poured. He worked with the architect and the engineers on one request: cut a hole in the floor plate between his two levels.

Why a hole between floors?

Natural light? A grand staircase? Some massive chandelier?

No.

A T-Rex skeleton. Thirty feet of it, standing in his living room, with two stories of glass behind it.

Before you dismiss the rumor, know this. Graves already owns a 66-million-year-old triceratops skull. It sits on loan at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum. The man collects fossils the way other billionaires collect Picassos.

The closest living relatives of the T-Rex. Chickens, actually.

Todd Graves built a $22 billion empire selling chicken fingers. Now he wants the biggest chicken of them all in his penthouse.

The more I learn about this guy, the more I like him.

@merica_man84 But what if he was given complete control over the offense!!?? That’s all that’s missing… /s

@EastonMay02 These are the same guys who predicted 9-3 this year. Who told us other coaches were “marveling” at the job Pittman was doing. Then they go on and on about how great their advertisers are. Why anyone trusts their judgement (advertisers included) is beyond me.

@jimharris360 @WarMachine2013 ESPN adds commercials to their streaming in addition to the broadcast commercials. Buddy of mine was wondering why he was getting further behind the live footage and realized the ESPN app was adding in their own commercials and delaying returning to the game.

@RAZ0RBACKS Wanna bet?

@RazorbackFB Current location: pain.

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@RazorbackFB Do we have to?

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@SSN_Arkansas You must be new to Arkansas football….

Happy Airwolf Sunday! 😎

The final scene from the pilot episode, “Shadow of the Hawke” filmed at the Imperial Sand Dunes in Southern California which are the largest mass of sand dunes in the state.

They really did fly this Bell 222 through sand clouds produced by explosions set off for this sequence and that’s why you see Airwolf covered in sand. There was an article written about the mechanics that had to clean the sand out of the engine filters after filming this scene. I’ll have to find the article one of these days that describes it.

@TheHawgTalk @BleavNetwork @FanDuel Probably telling Arkansas, “I can do better…”

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@KATVJames lol.

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@DatBoiSammyP Well. Bye.

[Adam Ford @AdamFord92]

Arkansas also outgained Texas A&M in total offense. They’ve done that six times in seven games and are 2-5

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@merica_man84 It’s also only been two weeks. This is a bad take. If you compare the direction Ark was trending from Ole Miss to Memphis to ND, and then compare that to what we saw against Tenn, it’s night and day. Expecting a drastic difference is not realistic.

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@AdamFord92 I hate to say this but SMU donors have way more resources and funds available to football, than Arkansas does. They have fully bought in and we are still trying to figure out a strategy.

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@BrooksAustinBA By a MILE…. I say that as an Ark grad.

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@CurryHicksSage It’s more like a D or maybe F+

[Scott Holcomb @ScottHolcomb]

@petenakos @on3 @HawgBeat @andystaples @AriWasserman @clowfb Why would Lashlee leave SMU with a giant NIL budget for a school which doesn’t want to participate in NIL, and has a nightmare schedule?
