When you have lost the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, you have lost America.

Ryan J. Rusak doesn't like a lot of things including Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire, his transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby, Graham Platner and Ken Paxton.

He is right on three of the four.

The Maine Senate election is getting an outsized attention across the country. Here on FreeRepublic, these two races dominate the Senate races discussion.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone looked into the FanDuel accounts of The San Antonio Spurs players lately?

And now a related story, on the high school football level.

I was teaching in an inner-city high school at the time. A student was caught in the school with a loaded gun.

Was the kid arrested? Nope.
Were the police even called? Negatory.

The kid was the team’s starting quarterback.

I guess our team’s won/loss record was more important than student and staff safety.

who, a couple of stops ago, gambled on his own sport and team.
....

Apparently that team won the National Championship last year.

Amazing that University apparently is not affected by their own player actions from two years ago.

Hmmm.

Why is Ken Paxton on the wrong side of this issue?

Virginia elected a democrat who want his opponent and his entire family dead. Don’t count him out yet.

Sorsby found an attorney. A damn good one, apparently. Sorsby certainly did not “find a judge”. Absurd. The original District Court judge recused himself as he was and is a huge Texas Tech fan with 50-yard line seats at Jones AT&T Stadium so he recused himself. The District Judge assigned had no TTU ties whatsoever. He was a graduate of UTA and University of Houston. He is the one who made the injunction allowing Sorsby to play. TTU had nothing to do with the hearing whatsoever. Nothing!!
The people ragging against Tech are morons. They declared him ineligible. The court determined otherwise. How can anyone find fault with Tech??
This op-ed is ill informed and stupid. Tech is playing the cards they have been dealt. Tech is following the rules 100%. Such BS.

He can be on the team but do they have to allow him to play?
