Incredible stat found by @Gameday_U’s @natalieorozcotv: The #Sooners just snapped Florida’s 48 game win streak against teams playing in The Swamp for the first time (most recent: Campbell, 2026), they last fell to Memphis State on Oct. 8, 1988.

I hate to break it to this guy, since this is his pet issue, but not only is so-called "school choice" wildly unpopular in Texas, it's literally a big part of why Gina Hinojosa won in the first place. Rural Republicans flipped or stayed home in part because they never wanted the school voucher system to begin with and feared it would defund their small-town schools. Voters, particularly rural Republicans who voted Democratic for the first time in their lives, gave Hinojosa and the legislature a mandate to dismantle it.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

Gina Hinojosa delivers the agenda for Public Education Texas: “On Day One, I will fire Mike Morath and we will work tirelessly to repair the damage of the Texas voucher scam - And end an era in which our schools are sold for parts:”

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

the biggest takeaway i’m hoping for from today is for people from historically left-leaning states to stop viewing texans, and other southerners, as irredeemable and backwards, writ large. and this didn’t change tonight, or even this year, because we’ve always been here

Republican PAC ads center on “taxpayer-funded sex changes on kids,” “biological males in girls’ locker rooms,” and “they/them.” Didn’t Oklahoma get its fill with Ryan Walters? Has anyone seen these fears? If they lie about that, what else do they lie about?

🎃SOONER FOOTBALL ON HALLOWEEN!
When Oklahoma faces South Carolina today, it will be the 18th time the Sooners have played on Halloween!
All-Time Record: 12-3-2
Nine consecutive Halloween victories!
Oklahoma first played on Halloween in 1913. In the 113 years since, the Sooners have lost just THREE times on October 31 — in 1925, 1931 and 1959!
Only TWO Halloween losses in the last 101 years, and NONE since 1959!
That last defeat was a heartbreaking 25-21 loss to Nebraska. Oklahoma’s final play ended with an interception in the Cornhusker end zone.
The loss ended TWO remarkable OU conference streaks:
44 consecutive conference victories (1952–1959)
74 consecutive conference games without a loss (1946–1959) — 72 wins, 2 ties!
Two extraordinary conference streaks ended on Halloween afternoon in 1959!
🎃 Can the Sooners make it TEN straight Halloween victories today?
