Progrums

Texas Longhorns signal-caller Arch Manning shattered all prior definitions of “intense glare” when he squared off against Sam Houston State last weekend and held eye contact for what seemed like an eternity (officially timed at a mind-numbing 7.3 seconds). Stadium lights flickered in subservience, opposing linemen reportedly reconsidered life choices, and one volunteer mascot fainted from sheer ocular overload. Social media erupted as fans donned “Blink If You’re With Us” T-shirts, while local gyms now offer “Ocular Endurance” boot camps featuring strobe lights, mirrors, and surprise nap-time drills. Coaches across college football are already rewriting offseason manuals to include specialized eye-strength training regimens—because, as Manning proved, the power of the stare can be mightier than the arm.
