Texas is riding Tre Wisner like a feature back the last 2 games (59 carries/4 receptions combined; 363 total yards), but his season workload is still fairly light by comparison. He can handle the extra work, and gets the 2 or 3 week rest after the SECCG (depending on outcome). #HookEm #CFB 🏈
The single concession that A&M got was the first game at their place. The Aggies sold it to the hilt. And when the time came, Texas went in there and kicked their ass. Order has been restored. #HookEm
Mack Brown chose the pine box again. #CFB 🏈
The ESPN chyron just said that Boise edged Wyoming, and Miss Calli said "Christ that had to be frustrating."
Ewers can't move at all. Sark needs to have Arch ready to go. #HookEm
Well into the conference schedule, and I'm forced to conclude that SEC officials aren't a significant improvement over Big 12 officials. And that's saying something. #HookEm
Good decision making by Ewers on the opening drive. Some of the hook and comeback route stuff had been missing. #HookEm
Robert Preston, if memory serves.
Rangers tendered contracts to other arb eligible players. They agreed with Josh Sborz on a $1.1 mm deal. Sborz had surgery on shoulder & will miss first 2-3 months of season
I knew Heyman had been around for a long time, but I didn’t know it was THAT long.
So, I took this quiz and wanted to say bye to everyone because I could be dead any minute now.
Dane Dunning and the Rangers have reportedly agreed to a deal that cuts his base salary by 20% from 2024 -- the maximum allowed

Graph showing MLB-wide stolen bases success percentage from 1924 to 2024, by year. Roughly between 60 and 65% until 1948, it dropped down to 55% in 1949, and has been generally increasing ever since. It reached 65% around 1980, 70% in the late 1980s, and 75% in 2020. It was 80.2% in 2023 and 79.0% in 2024.
Stolen base success rate just keeps going up up up!
Here it is for each of the last 100 seasons.
2023 was the first time it ever cracked 80%, and 2024 saw just a small dip to 79%, still second-highest ever. And remember that total number of stolen bases is also quite high these days!
Quick note of thanks for the follows/follow-backs so far. I know some of you from that other joint, and I'm getting ramped up over here. Will focus mostly on sports.
On the hunt for fellow Texas Longhorns here. Gradually migrating over from that other place. Enjoying these new digs the last couple of days. #HookEm #CFB 🏈
61 years ago today, in downtown Dallas. Growing up there in the 70s and early 80s, the memories were passed from one generation to the next, remaining a part of us somehow. Front pages from the Dallas Times Herald and Dallas Morning News from the McClyde Collection. 🗃️#JFK #History
Brilliant!
I'm stealing "burly swatsmith." If you need my address for service of the lawsuit, DM me. 😂
We also know that the Rangers aren't. What's next for them is unclear since they also didn't opt into the MLB umbrella, either.

We'll see! They've got some work to do this winter. OF production is a mess other than Langford. The uncertainty on broadcast revenues and Ray's desire to re-set the CBT may be a governor on them for a minute.
Fellow Rangers fan!
Fellow Rangers dude here.
There was Christmas music playing at the coffee shop this morning when my son and I stopped before school. He shook his head and said "what the fresh hell." I said "hey, Ella Fitzgerald is always ok." He replied: "I don't care if it's Jesus whistling happy birthday to himself. Too damn early."
Raises hand.
MLB: Rangers, Dodgers, Phillies and others (I'm interested in MLB as a whole)

ADM Raymond Ames Spruance -- Nimitz's best seagoing commander of the war. I'll always maintain that Spruance rather than Halsey deserved the final FADM promotion.
It looked great. I look forward to contributing.
