Baron Batch: Student, Athlete, Gridiron Warrior-Poet

Texas Tech running back Baron Batch has a weekly column in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, and its adorability cannot be quantified by any currently-available human technology:

↵↵Every week I challenge myself with something to get better at. These things can be football related or simply life related. For example, last week I challenged myself to successfully keep my road rage in check. I’ll be honest, I failed miserably. Look people, it’s OK to turn right on red, and some streets have merging lanes so you don’t have to stop and yield, you can just go. To the girl that was texting and driving and almost took me out, shame on you! Go watch the movie “Seven Pounds” starring Will Smith. If Will Smith crashes his car because he’s texting and driving, you surely will. Don’t text and drive. It’s not safe!

↵↵We have no further comment. This is one of those times where, in order to truly do justice to a subject, we need only present the material and step back, letting its majesty speak for itself.
