……. Maybe I am showing my ignorance of large swaths of sports media, but were people hyping this up? The vast majority of college football people seemed to clue onto it being a disaster from the start

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 20h

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

a sports film that acknowledges it was originally meant to be a toothless PR-friendly "doc" and actually documents the hard pivot to losing access and encountering hostility when reality took a turn would be the first good one of these

this is actually a pretty big black mark on Hulu that they had the opportunity to chronicle an extremely newsworthy spectacle and are letting UNC back out of it because it makes them look bad

I also need to clarify anything under an hour and a half, I consider a short drive haha

But Rapid City does serve as a great base of operations if you’re trying to do all three.
