BY E.R. BILLS
In late August 1968, one of the largest military protests in American history took place at Fort Hood in Central Texas. You’ve never heard of it.
Why?
The year before, on April 4, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out for the first time against the Vietnam War. He was assassinated one year to the day later. Just three weeks after he died, world heavyweight boxing champion Mohammad Ali appeared in Houston before a Vietnam War draft board. He was called for induction four times but refused to answer his summons. He was immediately arrested and stripped of his boxing titles.
Fifty-seven years ago on August 23, Black soldiers staged a peaceful protest at Fort Hood — but not against taking up arms in Southeast Asia. They refused to take up arms against American citizens. After Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, thousands of Fort Hood troops were sent to Chicago for riot control duty. A number of Black civilians were killed. You’ve never heard of the Fort Hood protesters because political pundits and the American military didn’t want you to. The Vietnam War was a big enough
could empathize with the folks in those areas who might feel civil unrest was necessary. At 5 a.m. that morning, the division commander and members of his staff met with the protesters and discussed their grievances. Seventeen of the demonstrators got up and left, but 43 continued to protest. The protesters were placed in the Fort Hood stockade for failing to report for morning reveille.
The protesting soldiers became known as the “Fort Hood 43,” and their refusal to deploy to Chicago for riot-control duties was one of the largest acts of dissent in the annals of United States military history. Over the next few weeks and months, a number of the Fort Hood 43 were court-martialed and punished, receiving sentences of three to six months of hard labor, a partial forfeiture of their wages, and reductions of rank.
For the last six decades, there has been much made about the hippie movement and white Vietnam War protests. But, arguably, a disproportionate amount of the most significant activist stances involved young black men. And we have drifted into comparably grave straits.
men addicted to pro, college, and high school football.
Nothing brings hand-wringers and mouth-breathers together like football season.
There’s nothing important or relevant about American football, football players, or football games in the current moment, but they give us a great escape from our Election-Day ignorance and the blithering of our titty-baby ignoranus-in-chief. We can pour ourselves into the “big” game, join fantasy football leagues, gamble big, or gamble small (on quarter-by-quarter football pools).
We can forget about nepo Einstein visas, porn-star payoffs, pissing parties, and Donny’s predatorial behavior around prepubescents. We can tune out Lady Gaga and Gaza, tranny terror, 10-Commandment commandants, asinine tariffs, and the Kennedy Center Commode Awards.
And who does this sanity-saving distraction ride largely on the backs of?
Young Black men.
fiasco, and the powers that be largely squelched coverage of the protest.
In mid-August 1968, another large group of soldiers stationed at Fort Hood was scheduled to return to Chicago in late August to control potential rioters at the Democratic National Convention. At midnight on Friday, August 23,1968, 60 Black troops staged a nonviolent sitin on base to protest their deployment to Chicago. The majority of these Black soldiers were uncomfortable with being placed in a situation where they might be asked to “police” other Black Americans. Several of the demonstrators said they had grown up in low-income neighborhoods and
President Donald Trump and his legion of cretinous nimrods have turned the nation into a ludicrous gameshow, and three-quarters of the country is knackered or deeply despondent. Mortgage rates are approaching adult male shoe sizes, masked federal agents are goose-stepping over civil rights, prominent politicos are spread-eagle or facedown (and lubed) and passing Big Beautiful Bills crapping away their last remnants of human decency, moral compass, and political conscience. There’s nothing bonny about Donny, and anyone half-awake is on edge or ready to crawl out onto a ledge (or simply devoid of humanity altogether).
Something has to give, or at least give us an excuse for not thinking about our vile betrayal at the ballot box and the fatuous sausage vat we elected to the highest office on the planet.
We need a distraction.
We need a reason to ignore our additional ignorance and somehow take our minds off the dumpy turd that flatulates across our eye- and ear-waves every day in increasing states of derelict flamboyance and inane kakistocracy.
Enter: Blandman.
Or, in this case, bland men.
Or, even better said, whole leagues of bland
It’s certainly not fair to put young Black men on the spot here. They’re not treated very well or trusted, especially if they aren’t carrying, catching, or cradling a pigskin — but what would happen if young Black men collectively pulled a Muhammad Ali, protesting American fascism, at the pro, college, and high school levels? What would happen if young Black men went all Fort Hood 43?
That’s easy.
Trump would be out of office in 60 days.
The January 6 insurrection would be a footnote compared to the “football riots.”
And fascist goons like Gov. Greg Abbott would be unceremoniously dumped headfirst in a downtown Austin Porta-Potty — by conservative Longhorn boosters themselves. l

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)
Your challenging but feasible assignment is to both see the big picture and attend skillfully to the intimate details.
In some Buddhist mandalas, the outer circle depicts a wall of fire. It marks the boundary between the chaotic external world and the sacred space within. For seekers and devotees, it’s a symbol of the transformation they must undergo to commune with deeper truths. Who or what belongs in your inner circle? And what must stay outside? Be clear about the boundaries you need to be your authentic self.
TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20)
You may soon glimpse how something you’ve built your life upon—a value, a relationship, or a daily ritual—is more enduring than you imagined. Its power is in its rootedness, its long conversation with the invisible. Trust what once seemed soft but has become solid. T
GEMINI (May 21-Jun 20)
Some neglected beauty and wisdom in your emotional depths is asking for your attention. What part of you needs reverence, tenderness, and ceremonial care?
CANCERIAN (Jun 21-Jul 22)
How could you fortify your home base to make it more nurturing and uplifting? What rituals and playful ceremonies might you do to generate everyday blessings?
LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Be alert for seemingly transitory moments that carry enormous weight. Proceed on the assumption that a brief phrase or lucky accident may spark sweet changes. What might it look like to condense your full glory into small gifts that people can readily use?
LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22)
To succeed at your challenges, rely on strategy rather than confrontation. It’s true that what you want may feel blocked by difficult energies, like chaotic schedules, reactive people, or tangled decisions. But don’t act impulsively. Wait. Listen. Watch. Openings will happen when the noise settles and others tire themselves out.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Get advice from real experts. Pace yourself; don’t sprint. Be consistent rather than melodramatic. Opt for discipline instead of heroics.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)
A lighthouse isn’t concerned with whether ships are watching it from a distance. It simply shines forth its strong beams, no questions asked. It rotates, pulses, and moves through its cycles because that’s its natural task. Its purpose is steady illumination, not recognition. In the coming weeks, be like a lighthouse. Be loyal to your own gleam. Do what you do best because it pleases you. The ones who need your signal will find you. You don’t have to chase them across the waves.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
You may be able to combine two seemingly unrelated needs into one brilliant solution— turning space, time, or resources into something more graceful and useful. Let your mind play with hybrid inventions and unlikely pairings.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20- Feb 18)
You may feel compelled to be authentic in a situation where you have been reticent, or to share a vision that has been growing quietly. Don’t stay silent, but also: Don’t blurt. Articulate your reality checks with elegance and discernment. The right message delivered at the wrong moment could make a mess, whereas that same message will be a blessing if offered at the exact turning point.
PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Don’t feel you have to spell everything out or tie up each thread. It may be important *not* to explain and reveal some things. What’s left unsaid, incomplete, or open-ended may bring you more gifts than constant effort. Let a little stillness accompany whatever you’re creating

TCU opens their 2025 season against one of the most legendary coaches
BY BUCK D. ELLIOTT
We have survived what my wife astutely calls “the winter of summer,” a midweek cold front that brought cooler temperatures — for August. And we are staring down the barrel of a locked and loaded first week of college football. The obvious headliner is a Saturday-morning heavyweight tilt in the Horseshoe as top-ranked Texas visits the third-ranked Buckeyes. The game will prove a pivotal talking point until at least midseason for SEC and Big 10 homers alike. Frog fans really don’t have a specific stake in the contest, though TCU can claim far more victories over the Longhorns than Ohio State. In their six matchups, the Frogs have claimed victory over OSU only once, which was near the beginning of the civil rights movement. Most other ranked teams will play multidirectional state universities this week, except fourth-ranked Clemson hosting ninth-ranked LSU on Saturday evening and sixth-ranked Notre Dame visiting 10th-ranked Miami on Sunday.
Careful readers should have noticed that I’ve yet to mention TCU’s opponent, and that’s because the Frogs will be the veritable caboose of opening weekend in an oddball matchup in Chapel Hill at North Carolina during Bill Belichick’s college-coaching debut. Belichick, who is considered
last year, save maybe for SMU, and displayed grit and the ability to win close, something that has been a hallmark so far of Sonny Dykes’ two-year tenure, but everyone in Fort Worth is hoping his third can lead TCU back to the playoffs.
The most pressing questions about the veracity of TCU’s chances of making conference and national noise lie with the offense. Assuming Hoover is as good or better with another year and offseason of experience, the receiving corps is essentially new. Savion Williams and Jack Bech were twin playmakers capable of scoring from anywhere on the field last season. Both have since departed for the NFL, and Eric McAlister returns as the goto threat. The senior from Azle accumulated five scores and more than 750 yards last season but did so as the third threat. We don’t yet know how he’ll operate as the frontman.
More concerning is the absence of a reliable running game. The Frogs cobbled last season’s together with spit, duct tape, and Savion Williams, the fix-all for offensive coordinator Kendal Briles. With Williams gone, TCU is going to need to find a bell cow or at least a cohort of backs to fill the void left by Kendre Miller and Emari Demercado two seasons ago. No one on the running backs depth chart saw significant action last season. Williams is now a Green Bay Packer, and Cam Cook, who Williams essentially took over for, transferred to Jacksonville State.
a lock for the NFL’s Hall of Fame as quickly as next year, will continue what has been a media circus, mostly because of his relationship with Jordon Hudson. The former college cheerleader — 48 years Belichick’s junior — has been a fixture with the coach over the last year and a half. Hulu is also reportedly filming a season-long docuseries, so expect to see some purple highlights when it airs. Despite the obvious jokes surrounding the coach’s personal life, being the guinea Frogs for Belichick’s maiden game is unnerving. Expect special teams trickeration, outstanding defensive scheme design, and an unflappable command of the game’s flow. No one earns six Super Bowl rings by accident, and assuming anyone in college football can outcoach him is a fool’s game.
The Tar Heels won six games last season during the second tenure of former Texas coach Mack Brown. TCU is returning from an eight-win campaign and a convincing bowl victory, though in the NIL and transfer era, past performances can amount to very little. Most notably, the Frogs return QB Josh Hoover, who is gracing several watch lists for best quarterback, and has been head-hunted — unsuccessfully — by major teams since last season. The Horned Frogs were competitive in every loss
Though Briles holds a fondness for throwing to establish the rushing game, we as fans have seen the bottom fall out faster than emerging digital currencies. Monday night will be demonstrative of where Dykes and Briles are leaning with how they partition rushing attempts. Sophomore Jeremy Payne has the speed to be threatening and is a capable receiver, but he is not the physical specimen of Williams and is less likely to be a presence between the tackles. Senior Trent Battle is a bigger body but struggled with injuries last season. UTSA transfer Kevorian Barnes and redshirt freshman Nate Palmer round out a group without a clear headliner, while fans just desperately hope Briles has found a solution to the Frogs’ short-yardage woes from last season.
Defensive coordinator Andy Avalos will be looking for a more consistent start to the season after surrendering an unholy quantity of points during the first half of his first campaign — which was not helped by a turnover-happy offense. Avalos’ 3-3-5 has been porous against run-prolific teams but settled in to finish the last several games on a high note, giving up only a field goal during the bowl game.
Ultimately, the results on Monday night in North Carolina are not significant toward TCU’s
goal of winning the conference and securing a playoff spot but will be illuminating as to how close this squad is to hitting their stride. The Horned Frogs’ early slate appears daunting. After hosting Abilene Christian in Week 2, there is little respite from the meat of their schedule as the Frogs face 16th-ranked SMU before traveling to their first conference tilt against 11th-ranked Arizona State the next week. TCU hosts Colorado before road-tripping again to Kansas State. Of the three ranked Big 12 squads currently on the schedule, TCU will be at Amon G. Carter only against Iowa State (who beat the Wildcats in Ireland on Saturday).
If you’re planning to watch the Tar Heel telecast, don’t be shocked when the narrative is centered on Belichick. Or even Hudson, whom I suspect will receive ample camera time. But Frog fans should be focused on who is behind Hoover, how often, and what Briles does with them. The ability to establish the rushing game is paramount to success this season. If Briles had figured out what to do with Williams sooner last season, TCU might have been in a position to make a run at the conference. The thought of Hoover tossing 40-plus attempts against Ol’ Bill’s defense makes me nauseous, and if we see that, as my 8-year-old would say, “We’re cooked.” l
