Family debate at the dinner table tonight... Who you got?

Miley in Med Bow Wyoming: Just for you Ketch!

I've driven past this spot a number of times in Medicine Bow, Wyoming (which is the middle of BFE) and always wanted to stop and share this little gem with Ketch. I finally found the time to stop today.

Went by today coming back from Casper and took some pictures of Miley just for you @Ketchum.

ISO 3 tix for Florida

Gave my season tickets to my brother and fam flying down from Boston this weekend, but would love to take my 7 and 10 year olds to the game if I can find 3 reasonably priced tickets this week.

Feel free to pm me if you’ve got some.

(I don’t need a 4th, but will buy 4 if that’s the only way to make it happen)

Texas Voting Results

Trump won Texas 56.3-42.4 by a margin of 1.569 million votes.
Ted Cruz won Texas 53.10-44.5 by a margin of 971,000 votes.

Cruz won by ~220,000 votes in 2018 and Trump won by ~600,000 votes in 2020.

Trump got nearly 1 million more votes in Texas than he did 4 years ago. That is a breathtaking number and bodes well for the Statewide elections coming up in 2026. Texas is redder than it was just before COVID. It seems clear that the California transplants are mostly political refugees and not a bunch of liberals moving to Texas. We are getting a disproportionate share of their conservatives.

Friday night hoops: Another chance to watch Tre Johnson in a UT uniform

Cliffsnotes: The No.19 Texas men's basketball team tips off its home opener on Friday night against Houston Christian.

Time: 7PM

How to Watch: SEC Network+ - David Saltzman (pxp) and Justin Mason (analyst)

Line: Texas -33.5

Line-up: This isn't official, but it's a projection from the Texas SID office.

The Headliner: Freshman guard Tre Johnson came out blazing on Monday night by setting a new Texas record for points (29) in a debut performance, shattering the old mark (20) established by Kevin Durant nearly two decades ago. It's hard to tell how good this team might be, but Johnson is movie-star A-lister stuff on the hardwood and is worth the 2 hours of your time.

Did You Know: Texas has won 22 straight home openers. The last loss? November 17th, 2001. It was T.J. Ford's first game in a Texas uniform and the No.23 Longhorns lost to unranked Arizona 88-74. The Longhorns hit only 10 of 21 free throws that night. Brandon Mouton, Royal Ivey and Sydmill Harris each had 15 points.

About Houston Christian: HCU started its season earlier this week with an 86-59 win over something called Avila University. Four players scored in double-digits, led by 6-2 guard Bryson Dawkins' 18 points on 6 of 10 shooting in only 17 minutes. There's not a lot from the opening box score that stands out other than the team's shooting splits - 44.3/25.7/62.5. Folks, opponent No.2 is not like opponent No.1.

Hypothetical Injury Return

So, if your prized QB had this injury how would you handle it. Rush them back to play a big game, or play it safe to prevent long term damage?

A grade 2 hamstring strain typically takes four to eight weeks to heal. However, recovery time can vary depending on the severity of the injury and other factors. (Assuming it was really a grade 2)

Here are some tips for helping a hamstring strain heal:
Rest: Avoid physical activity that causes pain and keep your leg still as much as possible.
Ice: Apply ice to the hamstring for about 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.
Pain medication: Take pain medication like ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetaminophen.
Physical therapy: A doctor may recommend physical therapy to strengthen the hamstring.

Returning to sports before the injury is fully healed can lead to more serious injuries.

Hamstring strains are graded based on the severity of the injury:

    • Grade 1: A minor injury that heals in a few days.
    • Grade 2: A partial tear that involves more than half of the muscle fibers, but some are still intact.
    • Grade 3: A full thickness tear in the muscle.

Question on Racist, Bigot Accusations

I know that I will get entirely sincere, snarkless replies, but this really is a serious question. Leaving aside all the other issues regarding Trump, I see more lashing out about his racist, bigoted views than anything else. Where does that come from? Is it just his border policy that leads some to conclude that? Or is it that anyone whose politics are not highly progressive is considered a racist? Or are there concrete examples of this in his behavior or other policies?

VY in today's NFL......

Was Vince a victim of being with a coach who didn't know how to properly use him? Watched Lamar Jackson tonight and couldn't help but imagine VY flourishing in today's NFL. To play devil's advocate, Vick flourished in the NFL and was a predecessor to VY. Thoughts from the board?

Why didn't VY have success in the NFL? He won offensive ROY and made the pro bowl twice.
