Bag of Randomness

“Enterance”? Sent from a good friend in Abilene. Have to admit, I missed it at first.

The Cowboys played the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil yesterday. CBS showed a graphic that surprised me. It’s farther to fly directly from Dallas to Rio than from Baltimore. I would have thought differently since Dallas is further south. I can’t find the graphic, but a quick Google search states that a direct flight from Dallas is about 5,221 miles, while Baltimore is 4,781 miles.

It’s a complete shock to me that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have to wash to own uniforms. I figured the Cowboys would want to do that to ensure nothing is ruined and to keep uniformity.

Don’t think I’ll ever get over the loneliness I feel when there’s football on and nobody to watch it with me. I wish I could forget what it was like to be surrounded by family or friends munching on grub and watching games on Sundays.

The Longhorns might be the number one ranked team in the country, but I don’t think they are a strong number one. However, Bob Sturm made a good point when he tweeted, “Road wins in the SEC – Don’t ask questions. Just get showered and on the plane. Survival is key.”

On Friday, I wrote about Stark stating that when a sitting president is at a game and moves locations, all communications is cut off, and that’s something that the coaching staff has to plan for. During the game, ESPN added to it, stating there should be no communication issues, only for the audio to immediately crap out on them. It’s almost like an SNL skit.

Going into this game, both universities were teasing each other about who the real UT was and the proper shade of orange. After the game, the University of Texas settled the debate on Xitter.

It was a bit of a golden weekend for the Longhorns, with them winning and both Oklahoma and aTm losing. Here are the last times that have happened according to Perplexity, excluding any head-to-head matchups.

 

Aggie Yell Leaders are near the top of the stupidest things in the history of ever. LSU players mocking them with their own antics to their faces is hilarious.

And just to pile on, this made me laugh.

Everyone seemed to appreciate Verlander’s last time walking away from the mound as a professional baseball player.

On U2’s 50th birthday, or the day the band was actually founded, they played random gigs around Dublin. The first stop was at their old school, where it all started with their first performance.

During One, they even got some students playing stringed instruments involved. Pretty cool, pretty, pretty cool.

The audio isn’t great, but they played a full hour at Grafton Street; you can watch it here. The set list was interesting. The Edge honored Glen Hansard with a solo performance.

Bono was interviewed about the experience and said the band felt honored that their homeland still appreciated them, because he understands how annoying he can be over the last 50 years; it’s like winning the World Cup.

Maybe not the most, but it’s up there.

Kyle Chandler’s jacket in Lanterns has caught the eye of a lot of folks. Men’s Health has a write-up about it. It’s an RRL jacket, one of Ralph Lauren’s higher-end brands, and is

named after his ranch. It will also set you back $690 and is out of stock unless you wear XXL.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on this race; I’ve been a big fan of Adam Hamilton for a while.

Former Kansas GOP governor explains why he’s backing Democrat Adam Hamilton for Senate

Emerson College / KSN Poll (September 2018/21, 2026): Shows Hamilton leading narrowly with 45% (or 44.8%) to Marshall’s 43% (or 43.3%), with Libertarian candidate David Graham at 4%. The lead falls within the margin of error.

Karl Rove has had enough of Ken Paxton.

I wasn’t familiar with the license plates he mentioned and had to ask Grok for clarification.

In Texas, specialty State Official plates carry the distinguishing prefix “SO.” They are issued by rank/order of office: Governor (typically SO 1), Lieutenant Governor (SO 2), Speaker of the House (SO 3), then the Attorney General (SO 4 or equivalent in the sequence), followed by other statewide officials and legislators. These plates identify the vehicle as belonging to a state official; they do not grant special driving privileges such as immunity from traffic laws.
Rove referenced them in the context of Ken Paxton’s 2023 impeachment-related scandals. He noted that Paxton drove a vehicle with these official/state plates, which made discreet visits (“assignations”) to one of his alleged mistresses (Laura Olson/Laura Olsen) difficult because the plates made the car easily recognizable as the AG’s. According to Rove (drawing from impeachment materials), a donor/business associate (Nate Paul) arranged a fake Uber account under a false name (“David P.” or “Dave P.”) as a workaround so Paxton could travel more anonymously. The Uber records later surfaced in the impeachment proceedings.
This detail is significant because it underscores the personal and alleged corruption issues Rove cited as baggage for Paxton’s 2026 Senate campaign: extramarital affairs, home renovations paid for by a donor, favors allegedly done in return, and the use of official perks alongside cover-ups involving that donor. Rove presented it as making a normally safe Republican seat in Texas competitive against Democrat James Talarico.
