Apparently we got our Nolan Ryan bloody jersey story all wrong and AI is ON IT. According to Yardbarker via something called EasySportz, it was bloody because Nolan tore a guy’s arm off in the 1974 World Series.

In 1990, in a game that wasn’t even televised, a photographer snapped a photo of a bloodied Nolan Ryan, which became a defining part of Ryan’s image. The story of Nolan and Linda, and an enduring piece of Texana as the Rangers commemorate the moment.

My dad woke me up to tell me “Michael Jackson just slid across the damn floor like he had ball bearings on his feet.” 😂
43 years ago, Michael Jackson did the moonwalk on television for the first time while performing ‘Billie Jean’ at Motown 25.

Colbert and Letterman brought back Dave’s "Destroying Stuff" bit from the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater one last time….and Dave with an epic goodbye for CBS:
"In the words of the great Ed Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"

I can't imagine how many hours of his life Jack has devoted to covering East Texas sports, supporting kids, recording history and making sure everyone gets their due. One of the most selfless journalists I've ever known, including me calling him for advice. So well-deserved.

Sawyer Robertson’s professor in Baylor’s Sales Strategy in Sports and Entertainment program sent out a release exempting students from updating their LinkedIn if they can surpass 5,000 passing yards 😂
NEW: Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson said he skipped every LinkedIn assignment in his classes because he knew he’d succeed in football.
“You can check my LinkedIn now, it’s still not updated. I knew football was going to work out for me.” 😳

“Most of us slip on ice outside the grocery store and immediately consider leaving town. So imagine what it must feel like to try to rebuild your career and have your toupee punched off in front of 10,000 people, with millions more online reveling in that embarrassment forever.”

Brandon Holtz, a 39-year-old RE/MAX agent drank Coors Light and watched hoops in the Crow’s Nest and grabbed a whiskey and camped out on 16 after his first round at the Masters. The golf, he wishes it went better. But he’s ready to keep on dreaming.

How a miniature mischievous man became the most coveted Masters collectible — a luxury Labubu if you will — and why its popularity may lead to its untimely demise. The little gnome that became bigger than The Masters.

This gnome has its devotees, like the gnomie Kenneth Locke, a walking Where’s Waldo from Augusta. The 2016 one sold for less than $50 originally and now commands more than $10,000 on the collectibles market. But Augusta National doesn’t need “viral” trends to sell merch.

From Cody Campbell on Brett Yormark: “As commissioner, he needs to remember that he works for the Presidents, and the Presidents work for the Boards. He is not the dictator of the conference. That’s not his role. It is his responsibility to advocate for his members in all cases.”

Apparently Brett didn’t get the memo: EVERYTHING RUNS THROUGH LUBBOCK!!
Maybe we should bring the tortillas back??

Good story by Carter. If you ever wondered why Haynes King was so tough, John’s a big reason why.
“He comes off as this old, grumpy guy that’s a hardass,” Haynes, said. “At the end of the day, he does have a couple of soft spots.”
Mar 26
Over 242 career wins, John King became so intertwined with Longview football that it was impossible to imagine one without the other.
Last fall, the town - and the coach - had to reckon with that possibility when he was diagnosed with mouth cancer.
“You’ve told everybody all these times to Lobo Up. It’s time for you to do the same thing.”
His battle was the definition of “Lobo Up.”

Here is the call sheet Sawyer Robertson carried in his wallet since 2022. Robertson idolized leach growing up in Lubbock, got to play for him, then was lost when Leach died. A meaningful gift for sure. (that’s cool @SawRobertson12, I didn’t want it anyway)

"He told Harmon that she could build a legacy at Texas. Harmon responded by telling him they could build one together - around her
"I said let me be the one at the bottom that can help the foundation" Harmon said
PHEW! In WBB not many top recruits try be a builder. Rori Harmon!
Mar 25
For five years, Rori Harmon has had one of the toughest jobs in sports: She’s Vic Schaefer’s point guard, led his rebuild and most importantly, his defense: "She picks your ass up at the city limits and she shows your butt the door when we're done.”
