I see IU and Charlie B is using my daily morning workout….

So far, AGs from Colorado, Utah and Oklahoma have written responses to join the fight against Paxton. This will not end well. I am willing to bet the folks at Tech were NOT happy seeing Paxton step in.

Having the Big 12 as a whole filing the suit is a big deal; meaning everyone is on board. Tech may need to consider other options if there are any after this coming year. But an even bigger deal is that the conference chose Sidney Austin as an attorney. I had not heard the name before, but what I have seen is that Tech and the state of Texas are in way over their heads at this point.

Wow! Reading this from some other sources. Agree Texas AG stepping in is a big mistake. Conferences and NCAA must have the ability to govern.

1. Riverton Parke - Preseason #1 or 2 in multiple state rankings. Week 1 vs Linton will be a must-see and a test for the Tenderloins. Rumor is the Panthers have 60+ on their roster this season. Every male in the school must be playing for a chance to play on Thanksgiving. With South Put moved up, can the Panthers finally get over the hump AND do it without their graduated QB and all-state safety? 2. Parke Heritage - I believe they return more starters than any other team in the conference. Did Billy move up to HS to run his dominant JH offense or is he still operating the sidelines in middle school? They will push for 2nd place in the conference and probably start the year 4-0 before they will see Seeger. Was last year's Top 10 ranking legit or not? This is the year we will know. 3. Seeger - Maybe the biggest question mark of the year. New skilled kids, lots of contributing seniors lost, but a new (and predictably better) coaching staff. Based on Laf Jeff's offense, will we see Seeger toss the ball around this year with Saltz? Week 1 vs Carroll is another great matchup in week 1 for the WRC. Then off to The King's Benton Central squad in Week 2 before they start conference. Week 4, 5 and 6 will be a stretch of games that could make or break the Patriots this season. 4. Fountain Central - WRC Hall of Famer Jacob Earl takes the reigns from The King. Its hard not to cheer for Coach Earl after a few disappointing seasons for the Mustangs. They'll probably have the best QB (Foxworthy) and one of the top athletes (Batchlor) in the conference and a top safety in Willoughby on defense. Again, another WRC with a tough week 1 opponent as FC plays Southmont to start the year. 5. South Vermillion - They could have been the WRC's youngest team last year and got a few wins. Has the Barrett effect worn off now or is it truly Miller Time for the Wildcats? And how many transfers will they lose to TH South or RP this year? 6. Covington - Three games to start the year again in 2026 could all be wins for the young Trojans. The challenge is what happens after those three games. They return their QB and RB and that is nearly all their offense from last year. Covington is the sleeper of the conference if they can win 2-3 games in weeks 4-10. 7. Attica - Best facilities in the conference. Coach Dean returns nearly his entire team on both sides of the ball. Is this the year Attica turns the tables and picks up some wins, maybe even a sectional win, assuming they don't draw SP again (not possible, but that wasn't cool....) 8. North Vermillion - The falcons are currently in the middle of an 11 game losing streak with opening games against an improved North Central squad and Paris. Hopefully their new coach can increase the roster numbers and push to be competitive this season in a weak WRC. I'm not mad about any coaching changes and making my $30 donation today. Thanks Donnie!

I don’t think he understood the assignment. I swear to God he didn’t
