The Military Launched Chaff Over DFW Metroplex and it Was Picked Up on Radar
There have always been conspiracy theories of the military doing stuff over the skies of Texas. It's not that I don't believe the military is conducting various drills or missions over us, it's that I don't believe there is something nefarious going on because there's a weird cloud in the sky after a plane flies overhead. A few months ago, a weird "rain cloud" was captured on radar over the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex but it wasn't raining. So what was it?

Fruit of Life brings small batch Colombian coffee to historic chocolate factory space
Since opening last month in the former Pangburn’s chocolate factory space, (now reborn as the 12,000-square-foot LaunchBox Creative Community Center & Entrepreneurial Incubator), Fruit of Life has become a hub for coffee aficionados hunkered down at laptops and sipping quality espresso. The selection of fresh pastries and sweets is small but good; cardamom buns and banana bread are standouts, made from scratch by co-owner Victor Camara’s niece. Get there early: indoor tables fill up quickly, especially on weekday mornings. The Colombia beans are exceptional, but that’s to be expected, since they’re grown and roasted at co-owner Yeimy Guzman’s family’s coffee farm in Cali, Colombia.

Countdown to Kickoff 2024: 57 Days
From the brink of no FBS offers out of the transfer portal to the National Championship game, linebacker Johnny Hodges was a perfect match with the new Sonny Dykes era for the Horned Frogs. After a pair of average seasons at the Naval Academy after being an unranked no-star prospect in the class of 2019, Hodges hit the transfer portal ahead of the 2022 season, where he famously found little interest before TCU defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie and Dykes, both of whom coached against Hodges while he was at Navy, were made aware of his portal presence. The Frogs offered and would make history with Hodges as the new LB would go on to lead TCU in tackles for the Horned Frogs’ undefeated regular season and College Football Playoff, earning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and 2nd Team All-Big 12 honors with 87 total tackles (9.5 for loss) and two sacks.
Big 12 Snapshot: TCU Horned Frogs
Good morning. I’m introducing a new series intended to take a look at each team in the new Big 12. I’m not sure how many I’ll get done each week, but the only way for me to really know about these teams is to actually do the research so I can be relatively informed when the season hits. So I spent time doing the research this weekend. There are links to everything below so if there isn’t a link, then I didn’t write it, but I always link back to the originator of the content. I wanted to take a quick look at the team: get a feel for the best players; look into their portal class consisted and how they ranked overall; a look at the 2024 recruiting class; and ending on the graphic from Sharp College Football.
