Hey #McAllen! It’s only been 30 years! Hope you’re still trying for a few more!

Fight with me if you want…

But this is the greatest Mexican food restaurant in the history of the world

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

Good luck to #Kansasbaseball today vs Arkansas. The team took time to put on a clinic for the #McAllenrec kids back in 2012! Thank you #coachPrice!

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

@slye I installed just what you are talking about in March of 2025 in Dallas, Texas. Had to get several contractors out for estimates until I got the right one! Saved 2k with tax credit!

@ronsterd89 Lincoln told me the same thing with a staple in the new tire!

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

Deny and I drove down from Richmond to see the games! Seems like Bill Walton’s parents were everywhere that weekend!

[AL McGUIRE FEATURE FILM @almcguireconfes]

52 years ago today, Marquette took on #1 NC State for the national championship in 1974. The game took place in Greensboro, NC, making it a literal home game for David Thompson and the Wolfpack. The emotional Al McGuire would play a key part in the outcome…..This would be a great place to start a movie about Al McGuire. 😉😉❤️❤️

Marquette would play State tough for most of the first half until two technical fouls on Al McGuire led to a 10-0 run for NC State and a halftime lead of 39-30. The Wolfpack would take 34 foul shots in this game to Marquette’s 21. The Warriors were called for 29 personal fouls compared to 17 for NC State.

The second half NC State controlled throughout, leading by double digits most of the half. The final score, NC State won 76-64 to capture their first title. The game also marked the first time in 7 years UCLA did not win the title.

“I would say I lost the game there” - Al McGuire referencing the two technical fouls

“I finally broke the schneid and got two technicals, but that wasn’t done on purpose. I just got violent, trying to get an understanding of the game. Maybe I lost my composure. I guess I just blew it.” - Al McGuire

“This was not the right time or place for us tonight, but we will be back sometime in the future at the right time and will get it done.” - Bo Ellis

Record purse and record speeds for a legend's first victory 🔥

Scenes from 65 years ago, when 26-year-old AJ Foyt won his first #Indy500 in 1961.

I lived in #Wichita, early sixties, when one crashed into residential neighborhood, 21st and piatt.

[Air Power @RealAirPower1]

A USAF KC-135 has crashed over Iraq, possibly after a mid air collision.
Aerial refueling has its perils. Pilots and crew make it look easy, but it is anything but. When things go wrong, the consequences can be catastrophic. Here is a clip from a few years back showing a near miss. Hair raising stuff!

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

@gran1te_mtn @marcorubio I had same experience, applied on line for passport renewal, got it in the mail in two weeks! My wife got hers in one week! Congratulations to the #deptofstate!!

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

Deny and I saw this great song by the Turners at #AllenFieldhouse, in Lawrence Ks 1971!

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

Tina Turner’s live performance of "Proud Mary" is nothing short of legendary.

Fun fact: This electrifying rendition became one of her signature performances, earning her a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1972.

How did this Wagler get away from #KUBB? Did we run out of nil money?

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Keaton Wagler with maybe the GAME OF THE SEASON in college basketball: 46 points on the road to navigate No. 11 Illinois to an 88-82 upset of No. 4 Purdue.

Illinois drains 18 3s, and in the process, solidifies itself in a deepening pool of Legitimate National Title Contenders.

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

2nd deck, mid court, alamo dome! Hard to believe #KU came from 9 pts down to force OT!

[Colby @cl_all_day]

Where were you on April 7th, 2008?

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

I stayed home from school, faking an illness, to see the homer on the black and white tv!

I was there!

[University of Kansas @UnivOfKansas]

Our bashful birthday baby bird, it's your day! 🥳 On Oct. 9, 1971, at halftime during the KU Homecoming game, the world welcomed a forever favorite mascot, imagined and constructed by KU alumna Amy Hurst during her freshman year. Hip, hip, hooray, Baby Jay!

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

Been a few years!

[Kansas Jayhawk Fans @FansOfKU]

It’s officially Mizzou week. Plan accordingly.

[Brent Branham @txjhawk44]

I was there! Seeing RFK in his car with shredded cuffs on his sleeves!
