Can we not sing "OU sucks" when singing Texas Fight directly after winning the Super Regional against someone not OU?! Please normalize singing "Go horns go" again. Be proud enough to make it about you and your success. Don't be like Aggy

If you love someone, put them in a Tesla. Tesla just saved this guy’s life. A large truck destroyed this car. Minutes later, the driver was standing on the side of the road, calmly taking photos of the crash scene. Looking at the wreckage, that’s nothing short of remarkable！

@FortyAcreVibes Yes. Don't break your word unless the conference scheduling in the future interferes. Always cherish the big games.

@EricCHenry_ This is not helping anything. What does the NAACP even stand for now? Democrat party and politics above everything? No football coach should even have to address this or other political nonsense from either side nowadays. 🤘🏾

Every Honeycrisp apple is a clone of a single tree planted at the University of Minnesota in 1962. Every one. Apple seeds are random. Plant a Honeycrisp seed and the new tree produces a small, sour apple that’s usually inedible. So apple growers do something old and clever. They cut a small branch off the original Honeycrisp tree, slot it into a slit in a young apple sapling, wrap the joint, and wait. The branch fuses to its new host and starts producing Honeycrisps. About 20 million Honeycrisp trees exist worldwide, every one a piece of that 1962 tree on different roots. Same goes for Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, Granny Smith. Every Granny Smith on Earth traces back to a seedling found in 1868 by a woman named Maria Ann Smith in Australia. She’d thrown French crab apple cores onto her compost heap, one of them sprouted, and the apples it bore were unusually tart and good for cooking. That one tree is the ancestor of every Granny Smith in every grocery store on the planet. Wine has the bigger story. In the 1860s, a tiny aphid called phylloxera caught a boat from America to France, hidden in some grapevine cuttings. It eats grape roots. French vines had no defense and started dying everywhere. Within 15 years, French wine production crashed from about 11 billion bottles a year to 3 billion. The blight then tore through Italy, Spain, and Germany, and European wine was on the edge of collapse. The rescue came from Missouri and Texas. American grapevines had grown up with phylloxera and were immune to it. So growers chopped French grape varieties off at the trunk and joined them to American roots. Above the soil: still French grapes. Below the soil: aphid-proof American root. It worked. Today, almost every bottle of French, Italian, Spanish, Australian, and Californian wine you’ve ever drunk sits on top of an American root. The technique is ancient. Chinese farmers were grafting trees by 1000 BCE. A Greek medical text from 424 BCE describes it casually, like it was already old news. It works because plants don’t have a rejection system the way animals do. Cut two branches. Match the green layers just under the bark. Wrap them tight. In a few weeks the plumbing has fused into a single plant. A Syracuse University art professor named Sam Van Aken has spent 18 years building a single tree that grows 40 different fruits: peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, nectarines, almonds. In spring it blossoms in pink, white, and crimson all at once. He’s made more than a dozen. They sell for up to $30,000 each. Without grafting, there would be no commercial apple industry, no global wine industry, and most of the heirloom fruits humans have bred over the centuries would have gone extinct. One clean cut, and you’ve kept entire species alive.

There’s something satisfying about grafting - taking a strong rootstock and giving it a better variety on top. One clean cut, a little patience, and you’ve created something new.

@ridiculousaggie @TheTunnel_Texas You're not wrong. OU is an equal rival to be ultimately respected because they win. Aggy is little brother who is annoying and not bright. More hatred there. I see them in different lights.
