Listening to Neal Brown share his vision for North Texas and his approach to leading a program at the introductory press conference today was a breath of fresh air. His confidence, clarity, and the way people speak about him make it clear we’re in good hands. I’m thrilled to have

Private equity in college athletics is a dangerous path. Sure, the dollars look good now, but what happens when you can’t deliver the ROI your investors expect? Schools should tread lightly—once this genie escapes the bottle, there’s no going back.

It’s easy to drown in singles all day, bouncing from one algorithm-approved hit to the next. But every so often you stumble into an album that asks for your full attention, front to back, no skips, no scrolling. Records like that feel endangered now. A lost art. Something you do

There’s a growing itch in college football. The kind that doesn’t go away with another round of expansion or a new playoff format. It’s the sense that something’s broken at a foundational level—that the “haves” and “have-nots” aren’t playing the same game anymore, and maybe never

It’s starting to feel like the first-round bye in the College Football Playoff might be more curse than reward. Too much time off can kill late-season momentum. Makes you wonder if one day we’ll see a team lose on purpose just to avoid the bye and keep rolling.

What happens if elite college football players start consistently earning more through NIL than they would on an NFL rookie contract? While this may only apply to a small group of athletes, it still presents a challenge the NFL has rarely had to consider: college football

Converting your garage into a home gym is one of the most overlooked home hacks—simple to do, yet massively underutilized.

Mean Green football has a built-in advantage that few programs can replicate: home. North Texas sits in a region players leave, explore, and often want to return to. When that pull kicks in, the transfer portal gives North Texas a natural edge.

After this past season, there was a moment when many of us Mean Green football faithful found ourselves wondering where the program was headed. Had we just watched the ceiling for North Texas football? Or was this finally the foundation for something more? Then Coach Brown

The passing of Scott Adams has hit me in an unexpected way. I didn’t know him personally, yet he was part of my weekday mornings—there for that first cup of coffee. He may be gone, but he won’t be forgotten. I’m grateful for what he shared with the world.

The amount of screen time my eyes take on between work and everything else is absurd. By the end of the day, they feel cooked. So I force myself outside, just to look at something that isn’t glowing. I stare into the empty field behind my house. Nothing moving. Nothing asking

Institutions don’t decay because of villains twirling mustaches. They decay when procedures replace judgment, when incentives drift just slightly out of alignment, when “good enough” becomes official policy. The mission statement stays framed on the wall, even as everyone quietly

North Texas has landed some absolute playmakers through the portal this time around. No disrespect to those who moved on, but down the corridor of years, we’ll forget the joys and tears.

North Texas opens the 2026 football season at defending national champion Indiana. I’m ready for the Mean Green to shock the world, fully aware this may age terribly. Still, Coach Brown is assembling what looks like a killer coaching staff and a roster full of playmakers. Time to

Seeing Miami and Indiana fans walking through the Austin airport is comical. You don’t even have to look at their faces to know how they’re feeling, just check the logo on the shirt. That said, I’m genuinely happy for Hoosier fans. They broke through the usual media narratives

Longboat Key and St. Armands Circle are beautiful places, and I’d recommend visiting at least once. Sarasota is ideal because it moves at a slightly slower pace, which makes it perfect if you’ve graduated from your party phase of life but still want some atmosphere before 9 p.m.

When the AI agents govern society, your social media history will be evaluated. Your survival may depend on it. Proceed accordingly.

Trying to explain how great H-E-B is to non-Texans is always a challenge. They never quite believe it; you really have to experience it to understand what you’re missing.

The angst and banter around Texas UIL redistricting are part of what makes this state great. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

When you run a commercial during the Super Bowl, make sure your website can handle the traffic—otherwise it’ll be a big fumble.
