What made Vic Schaefer emotional in return to Mississippi State women’s basketball as Texas coach
Vic Schaefer describes return to Mississippi State women’s basketball
Watch what Vic Schaefer had to say about Mississippi State women’s basketball after making his return to Humphrey Coliseum on Thursday.
STARKVILLE — Vic Schaefer walked onto the court at Humphrey Coliseum shortly before tipoff to a round of applause from the Mississippi State women’s basketball crowd.
A few minutes later, Schaefer was again applauded when his name was read by the PA announcer as the Texas coach.
Thursday marked his first game back at Mississippi State, the program he coached for eight seasons and led to two national championship games before leaving for Texas in 2020. His No. 1 Longhorns (28-2, 14-1 SEC) thumped the Bulldogs 68-64 in a contested game to the final minute.
Schaefer, 63, still owns two farms in the Starkville area. His daughter, Blair, is a former MSU player and now an assistant coach for Texas. She received a round of applause from the crowd too on Thursday. Schaefer took his team to dinner at his farm on Wednesday night.
After the game, Schaefer was emotional describing the experience of returning to face Mississippi State (19-10, 6-9).
“It was hard,” Schaefer said, followed by a 30-second pause with his head down. “It’s hard. Obviously it’s a place that’s near and dear to my heart. I’ll always cherish that time here. Just so many fond memories, so many great friends that we still have.
“Obviously I still have the farm, and I bought another farm, so I think whenever that day comes and it’s time for me to not coach anymore, I’ll be around a lot more. It’s been hard. I won’t lie to you. I haven’t eaten very much. Sleep is just not part of my regimen right now.”
Schaefer added that he wasn’t worried about any possible boos or jeers from fans. None of them came.
“To me, that’s what makes Mississippi State the place that it is,” he said. “It’s just until you live it, you just have no idea how special this place is. People on the outside have no idea. They have no idea. My players have no idea how special this place is.
“I know we are very blessed, and we love being at the University of Texas. Our fans are really special, but this place is so unique. Bulldog fans, they’re just different, and they’re different in the best way you can possibly imagine.”
Vic Schaefer still roots for Mississippi State, attends football games
Schaefer still comes back to his home in Starkville when he can. MSU coach Sam Purcell said he’s been on plane rides back from recruiting trips coincidentally with Schaefer’s wife, Holly.
Schaefer also said he “always want(s) Mississippi State to be successful in anything and everything” and that he even attends one Mississippi State home football game every season.
“I hope (Jeff) Lebby does a great job and gets it going,” Schaefer said. “I think he will. It’s someplace I always stay in tune with. It’s just part of my DNA.”

‘It just hurts’: Texas lawmaker speaks out after meeting with detained men who witnessed deadly ICE shooting | CNN

This Week in Texas, we talk about the fatal shooting in Houston involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Our political insiders, Jacey Jetton and Shea Jordan Smith, offer their perspectives on that and the proposal from Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Gina Hinojosa to give every Texas household $1500 from the state’s rainy day fund.
Also, a report on big drainage money that the City of Galveston might have let slip through the cracks.

A man in Texas, suspicious about his newly acquired truck, decided to take a look inside. To his surprise, he found a GPS tracker that was monitoring his every move. As expected, people online reacted as they normally do: a collective meltdown.
The man in question is none other than David Allen, also known as ToTouchAnEmu. He is a very popular content creator who has over 9.8 million followers on TikTok alone.
And while he shares a wide variety of content, one of his latest videos addresses this apparent breach of privacy. He detailed how he was surprised and overwhelmed as he went through the terms and conditions after purchasing his new truck.

His dealer had signed him up and paid for a one-year subscription to CarRx, a platform and mobile app that monitors vehicles’ data. David, however, was not too thrilled to find out exactly what that meant.
Tracking Everything
For starters, he showed that, under the terms and conditions, CarRx would sell all collected information to third parties. David was not too worried about that.
Instead, he showed all the data that the platform collects from vehicles. Understandably, he was shocked.
Monitored information includes the car’s VIN, mileage, oil and battery status, fuel, and charging history. The platform can also track a vehicle’s location, speed, crash detection alerts, braking events, and even camera image and sensor data.
Finding the Tracker
David, still astounded by the revelation, knew that something was fishy. He asked, “I start thinking, how do they know all that information about my car if they don’t have some sort of GPS tracker on it?”

And to no one’s surprise, and thanks to a Google search, it turns out that there was, in fact, a tracker installed in David’s truck. And not willing to let it slide, the man got to work immediately.
The Texas man searched for the tracker near the OBD port. He noticed a Y-cable right below it and found the tracker connected to it. The tracker had an IMEI, meaning that it had a SIM card in it, so tracking is pretty much a guarantee.
Viewers React Accordingly
Of course, David’s video caused a multitude of reactions. Some took issue with how he labeled his SUV a truck, but most viewers were worried about their privacy.
“We need data privacy laws stat!” one said. Another one commented, “This isn’t new, unfortunately. I used to work for GM; they track everything. In real time.”

The latter comment seemed to echo the majority of reactions. Other users, former car dealership employees themselves, said the exact same thing.
