Is it too soon to ask what the over/under is on how many games Sorsby will play this fall?

Long post incoming, because I think it’s important that someone says this… I know and love a lot of addicts. I worked in the field at one point and I have family members who are clinicians currently working in addiction treatment. The weaponizing of Sorsby’s addiction by Texas Tech has been disgusting, and the passage below heavily implies that TTU’s support of his recovery is dependent on him being a football player. If TTU genuinely cared about Brendan Sorsby’s recovery they wouldn’t have waited until after a judge ruled he could play football to set these support systems up. And that’s before we even address what type of trigger a $5 million check could be for a gambling addict who supposedly gambles due to anxiety and will now feel the pressure of showing he was worth the money and backlash. If Sorsby’s gambling is truly the manifestation of a generalized anxiety disorder as they have claimed then the least productive thing for his recovery is to turn him into a national story and a focal point for a lot of people who are rightly worried about what this means for the competitive integrity of all college sporting events. There is a word for swooping in and fixing things for an addict so they don’t have to face the natural consequences of their actions— “ENABLING” A player being punished for being an addict is not the same thing as him facing the natural consequences of crossing boundaries that he a) knew existed and b) took measures to circumvent. I believe wholeheartedly in the disease model of addiction, and I have compassion for addicts who are trying to make a healthier lifestyle into a new habit. Texas Tech has created a false dichotomy that paints those supports as being dependent on Brendan’s football eligibility. Not playing football does not equate to him being expelled from the university. These supports should never have been dependent on his being part of the team. I don’t believe anybody at Texas Tech is actually making Brendan Sorsby’s addiction recovery the most important thing here. If they were, they never would have put him in this spot. They just want you to back off because they think it will help them win a few more games, and that part of this story feels way grosser to me than anything else.

People that have spent their whole lives in and around sports are playing dumb as if we dont all know what the Cardinal sin is in sports

This is a prime example of what is wrong with society. The grown ups can’t even sniff accountability

This tweet still relevant

I couldn’t be less shocked that Gavin Guidry pitched like that again

And now our best hitter strikes out looking three times this season may be cooked

Some of our coaching moves are so questionable. Why is Schmidt still in this game?

Who’s wrong? The blind umpire who calls strikes at the head or Jake Brown who keeps looking at them?

Taking Cowan out and leaving Claus in seems irresponsible

Brb going to get an Arrambide tattoo real quick

I do not understand the local media who support this. With so much going on you look to make a big break at the expense of your own school? Please do not contact me or mention my name

“Carson we need you, our seasons on the line here!” Carson Beck:

Ryan Clark stop yelling bro geez

Heartbreaking. Bob Weir brought me so much joy and incredible moments. RIP to a legend.

Carson Beck to be the first QB to win two nattys with two different teams?

Indiana that aau team of white kids that fundamental af and can shoot the hell out the ball.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congrats to Tulane for becoming the first Louisiana team to lose a playoff game. The state was previously 2-0.

Austin Thomas is a snake and was a huge key in the recent collapse at LSU

Do we know when Michigan first found out about Moore? The idea that they potentially sat on it until Ohio State to see if they won/got in the playoffs only to lose and turn around and say “he’s not a Michigan Man” is maybe the most Michigan Man thing of it all
