    LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) -

    In a bankruptcy hearing that began at 9 a.m. for Reagor-Dykes Auto Group, the impact of the bankruptcy could be seen by the number of attorneys in the room. As of 9 a.m., there were at least 18 attorneys present.

    Bart Reagor did not appear to be in attendance in the courtroom, but Rick Dykes was there. 

    Attorney David Langston issued a subpoena for Bart Reagor to appear and testify in today's hearing. He was hand delivered the subpoena on Monday, Aug. 29. However, he did not testify.

    There were at least 15 parties being represented by counsel in the courtroom and there were more present by phone.

    The court has passed the majority of the items on today's agenda to the bankruptcy hearings on September 18 and 19. However, the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO), Robert Schleizer with BlackBriar Advisors, LLC is being called as one of the witnesses, and the only named witness on the schedule.

    The second half of the hearing was testimony from Robert Schleizer on the motion to hire Blackbriar as the CRO. He told the court they have focused on securing assets, preserving information, they have retained key staff and have established controls and processes to gather information needed to operate the business. 

    900 customers, $6 million in unresolved issues

    Schleizer spoke on the 900 transactions that were in process when operations ceased on August 1. He says they have been inundated with problems and calls. He said identifying and resolving the problems has been a large part of the work. The company is down from 700 employees to 117. He says there is a hotline documenting all customer issues.

    The phone number is (806) 776-8732, or you can reach out to rdagsupport@reagordykes.com

    He said because of the volume of transactions taking place over nine dealerships, we had transactions suspended, payoffs not paid, checks that bounced, new cars without titles, and are getting calls from their old lenders; basically communication had broken down completely.

    "We’ve established a database of these problems and are making progress for resolving customer concerns," said Schleizer. He also said of the 900 transactions, they hope to address the first 80 or 90 they think they can deal with within the next three to four weeks. They hope to resolve as many customer issues as possible before September 18.

    There is no financing available to RDAG buyers right now, but they hope to change this. Buyers currently have to obtain outside financing or bring cash to purchase a vehicle. They also are not taking in trades unless they have the cash to pay them off.

    They also said customers with expired dealer tags, no clear title, and other issues similar - those potential transactions could be unwound. Those issues involve 900 vehicles and exceeds $6 million in unresolved issues.

    Schleizer said he believes if they can re-establish some semblance of operations they can sell that inventory and retain some of the value of the businesses.

    Schleizer mentioned potential buyers of some or all collateral, the business or businesses. There may be a bid process submitted for approval by Sept. 11, and hope to have a letter of intent to buy one or more dealerships.

    Addressing the bankruptcy hearing agenda

    During the hearing, the last item on the agenda before the witness testimonies was the motion to hire David Langston and his law firm Mullin Hoard & Brown (MHB) for their work from Aug. 1 to Aug. 21.

    The court never approved the hiring of MHB, but it has to be approved by the court before they can be released from their duties and be compensated. The Reagor-Dykes Auto Group Chief Restructuring Officer fired MHB on Aug. 21.

    The motion to withdraw was unopposed.

    Ford Motor Credit filed an objection, and a special hearing has been requested to give time for the court and the parties and to not distract from today's hearing. It will also allow Reagor-Dykes Auto Group (RDAG) time to broke a compromise between Ford Motor Credit and Mullin Hoard & Brown LLP (MHB).

    During that discussion, MHB objected to setting a later date for a special hearing. The judge expressed his concerns over RDAG changing counsel three weeks into the case.

    Attorney David Langston told the court he and his law firm have spent 16-18 hours per day since the initial bankruptcy filing. He asked the court to determine if they were still employed by RDAG. He told the court he would like to move forward with the issue before they spend more time on "this case that we will not be compensated for."

    Attorneys for Ford Motor Credit did not object to splitting the motion; meaning to rule on the employment of MHB now and will rule on their compensation later. The judge granted the motion.

    Judge Robert L. Jones stated in court, "The motion and objection raise issues I would like to address more thoroughly. I'm not interested in any gotcha litigation on this matter. Mr. Langston has successfully confirmed dozens upon dozens of bankruptcy cases in this court."

    My first game that I remember is the infamous Gap Kid game. I was about 14, my cousin had come into town for the game and that's when I became a Tech fan oh and hate aggy.

    i was at that one too. pretty crazy witnessing that. it was really hot that day too.

    That was actually the first Tech game I ever attended.  Bill Joe Tolliver was not in good form that day.

    The first game I remember is in '95. I was 14. It was our last ever SWC home game against TCU. Nov. 11th, 1995. We won 27-6.

  4. I've been bored and have been looking up random stats on Tech.

    As far as I can tell the last time Tech lost to an FBS school was in 1988 to North Texas State (UNT). North Texas State was a Div I-AA in '88. The score was 29-24, played in Lubbock.

    Before that, it looks like it was West Texas State (West Texas A&M) in 1962. 30-27 in Lubbock.

    As for when the last time we lost to a non-power 5 school? Well, that was last year's loss to South Florida in the Birmingham Bowl. Before that? 2009's loss to Houston. The score was 28-29 and it was played at Robertson Field in Houston.

    David Katz has reportedly been identified as the gunman who opened fire during a Madden NFL 19 video game tournament in Jacksonville, leaving four dead, including the suspect.4Rick Levanthal of Fox News reported that sources named David Katz was the Jacksonville shooting suspect.

    Rick Levanthal of Fox News reported that sources named David Katz was the Jacksonville shooting suspect. Police had not yet officially confirmed the suspect’s identity.

     

    The shooting took place at a video game tournament for Madden NFL 19 at The Jacksonville Landing, a popular entertainment complex in the Florida city. The event was being held inside the complex at the GLHF Game Bar in Chicago Pizza. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department confirmed that suspect identified as David Katz was dead at the scene, and they initially searched whether there were any other shooters before reporting that the suspect had acted alone. He reportedly took his own life.

     

    The Los Angeles Times reported that the suspect was competing in the Madden NFL 19 tournament and had lost a match.

    “The shooter was a gamer who was competing in the tournament and lost, according to Steven ‘Steveyj’ Javaruski, one of the competitors,” the report noted. “The shooter ‘targeted a few people; and shot at least five victims before killing himself, Javaruski told The Times in a direct message on Twitter.”

    Javaruski said that he saw the suspect kill two or three people. Eyewitnesses at the tournament reported on Twitter that David Katz had just lost a match before the shooting begun.

     

    According to the event’s Facebook page, it was a $5,000 tournament where the winner could qualify for a national tournament sponsored by Electronic Arts, the company that makes the Madden NFL series. EA Sports posted a statement after the shooting saying they were working with local authorities.

    “We are aware of an incident at a sanctioned Madden Championship Series competition in Jacksonville. We are working with authorities to gather facts at this stage.”

     

     

    Prior to Sunday’s mass shooting in Jacksonville, a number of professional gamers had complained about a lack of security at events, which were often crowded and chaotic. Just one day before the mass shooting, video showed an argument at the Maddenevent that nearly turned violent, with loud shouts and arguing.

    Congrats to David Katz, the Madden 17 Bills Championship winner!

    Thanks for following along, Bills fans. http://bufbills.co/kblxf9 

     
     

     

    Sunday’s shooting was also captured on livestream video. It did not capture the actual shooting itself, but did have audio of the moment that gunshots rang out. The video can be seen here, but be warned that it may be disturbing for some viewers.

    Reports indicated that Jacksonville shooting suspect David Katz was a regular on the Madden NFL competitive tournament series, and he won a 2017 tournament sponsored by the Buffalo Bills.

    Ladies, if you've ever looked at your man's underwear and thought it was a bit dull, then you're not alone.

    There's so much choice when it comes to women's underwear, from thongs to Brazilian and Bridget Jones -style pants, not to mention strapless, multi-way and water bras.

    Mostly men only have boxers or briefs to choose from.

    However that's all about to change, as one lingerie company have created a unique line of bras and knickers especially for men.

    HommeMystere is selling lacy bras, matching knickers and for the male who wants to wear something a little more sexy under his clothes.

    If that's not enough, men can also get their own silk nighties, baby dolls and body suits.

    The company's bras don't come with actual cup sizes, but some padded options are available and sizes range from small to extra large.

    According to the website, it's not just the men getting a kick out of the soft, luxurious underwear - the women love it too.

    A review posted for the turquoise Annabelle bra said: "So sexy, my gf loves me in this and the matching panties."

    One man reviewing the Tiffany sleepwear set commented: "The material feels so soft and sensuous to the touch and feels so comfortable. You could sleep in it all night, if it wasn't so sexy!"

    HommeMystere was established in 2009 and their aim is to design and make "fun, comfortable, unique lingerie - for people with packages."

    Products from the website can be shipped worldwide, including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

    People on social media have mixed opinions on the idea of their partner wearing underwear.

    One woman said: "Oh...I think my guy and I will pass on this trend."

    While another joked: "Now we can go bra shopping together, yay."
