  • Griffin III: more than a quarterback

    My grandma, a Baylor University alum, is 83 years old. She is and has been a diehard Baylor football fan for her entire life. I have watched many Baylor football games with her and have witnessed her frustration firsthand with the previously moribund football program. But this past weekend when I was watching Baylor dismantle the University of Texas with her, I saw something I have never seen from my grandma before: satisfaction with Baylor football.

  • I’m ready for the offseason

    The amount of time I've spent putting stuff off this week would disgust you. I had two papers to write that I easily could have finished over the weekend and I didn't even put a dent in them. This wasn't for any noble reason, either. I just didn't get them done, and now I'm paying for it.
