An example of Manning's growth.
Vanderbilt had seen that play: Texas scored with Livingstone on a rollout to the right corner the week prior. They defended it well.
Early-season Arch puts his head down to try to rush this in, or potentially puts it in harm's way.
This isn't some flashy play, but that's not what people want from him. They want this. Patience and play-extension.

I am really liking the energy and focus on the Moon--especially any endeavor that could unlock an orbital or lunar economy. We are never going to have the future we dream of w/numerous space stations and lots of people working and traveling in space, if it all depends exclusively on taxpayer funding. I know the near-term won’t be easy, especially with the shutdown impacting so many across NASA and the government, but we are living in an incredible time... multiple launch providers driving reusability to lower cost to orbit, important dev programs like on-orbit refueling to extend reach, and private capital betting on everything from pharmaceutical formulations to asteroid mining and orbital computing. Once we crack the economic code, we will have the answer (and funding) as to why we need lots of people living and working in space.

More people need to read @WalterIsaacson Biography of Elon. @woodhaus2 secretly designed a version with a wheel and Pedal even though Elon didn't want that. Elon is open to changing his mind...
It’s very important to appreciate and parse this sentence if we want to come together as a nation for our 250th next year. amazon.com/Greatest-Sentence…
We biographers know that it’s often about Dad. Nick discovers this about himself, and the result is beautiful, poignant, and unforgettable. And his father is something to behold! I’ve ordered the book. @nxthompson
I've just written about my very intense relationship with my father and how running helped me both connect with him and avoid becoming him.
It's also my first article ever for @TheAtlantic . My dad wrote for the magazine in 1967, and i t seems fitting that the first piece published here from my family in 58 years is about him.

Are we headed for another stock market crash that could cause depression? @andrewrsorkin answers: piped.video/Ul97b32F8Js?si=oM_g… via @YouTube
In this, @andrewrsorkin makes a great point: we’ve democratized finance so much that we don’t know how much debt is really in the system. And all financial crises have excess debt at their core. His book 1929 is a superb thriller. He explains it in this @AmanpourCoPBS segment:
