It’s the best solution for both Tech and Sorsby. It’s the right move. Should’ve been done at the beginning of this mess as soon as it came out.
And my trolling and joking aside, it’s also a disaster for Tech.
They burned EVERY bridge for this kid. Every single one. And their integrity as a program going forward is now gone or at least HEAVILY in question by every other Big 12 AD.
They were willing to leverage the legal system and sue their own conference thinking enough money could save them from receiving any kind of punishment. And to make things worse, they were arrogant about it all.
Now what do they do? They showed who they are and then got nothing for it. From fans of other teams to their own conference members. How do they regain that trust? They don’t have the clout to go independent. What conference would want to bring them in now if they left?
What a mess. Over Brendan Sorsby.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Cameron gives up one hit and gets pulled after 87 pitches. Erceg gets to close after three straight blown saves. If that's analytics, I don't understand analytics.
ABSOLUTELY……. IT’S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
It didn’t happen in 1968 while LBJ was in office and Iran signed the NPT.
It didn’t happen in 1975 when Ford got them to sign a comprehensive peace treaty woth Iraq
It didn’t happen in 1985 when Ronald Reagan got them to officially sign a peace agreement with Iraq
And it DIDN’T HAPPEN in 2015 when Obama, Xi, Putin, Hollande, David Cameron and Jean-Claude Juncke representing all 28 European Union coontries got them to sign the JCPOA.
SO. You’re right………TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET THEM TO THE TABLE.
He’s also the ONLY one that had to spend $60B dollars, kill 1300 Iranians, get 13 American soldiers killed, over 300 injured, lose most of our bases in the region, cause a global energy crisis and kill 165 little girls to sign a deal we alreay had!
The landscape in college baseball is changing. With the 34-player limit, Division I schools are turning more to junior college players for immediate impact. And no school embodies that more than Kansas. Free at ESPN: How juco turned KU into a powerhouse. https://t.co/lT0Kdy7OmR
Relieved and grateful I only found out about this guy after he was arrested for being a dumb motherfucking racist edgelord who appeals to 12-year-old incels and elderly people whose families don’t talk to them anymore
