Potential Replacements For Embattled Texas Men’s Basketball Coach Rodney Terry

Published on February 26, 2025February 26, 2025
Sports

Here’s the truth of the matter.

Outside of some miracle run to the Final 4 in March (if they even make the tournament), there is absolutely no way that Rodney Terry will be back in Austin next season. Calls for the embattled 3rd-year Texas head men’s basketball coach have only grown louder since the Longhorns dropped their latest game to SEC basement dweller South Carolina (0-13 in conference) by double digits.

The Valley is one of a kind when it comes to diversity. From the racist white people, the country-wannabes, the ghetto Hispanics, the snobby Mexicans from Monterrey and the token black person in between. With all that diversity and culture mixing all over, visiting the Valley might be a little overwhelming. Not to worry, tourist: The Bench Wire is here to help.

We took a trip to Mile 5 for some tacos and all we got was a mouthful of disappointment. Welcome To Mission.

Is McAllen Getting a Male Strip Club? An Investigation!

Published on August 13, 2024August 13, 2024
RGV

A job posting, originally posted over 30 days ago, searching for local male dancers/performers has recently made the rounds in the valley meme-sphere, prompting locals to wonder “Is the Valley finally (FINALLY!) getting a male strip club?” Of course, naturally, this was the type of rock-hard journalism that has aroused our journalistic instincts and left us eagerly probing deeper and deeper into the story. If the Valley was, indeed, getting its first den of dongs, you bet The Bench Wire would be all over it like a dog on a bone, ready to gobble up every inch of the juicy, moist details.

KRGV Reporter Livid After RGV Law Enforcement Stiffs Local News For National News On SB 4

Published on March 20, 2024March 20, 2024
RGV/The News

Yesterday, SB 4, the controversial Texas law that would make illegal entry into the United States a state crime, and allow local police to arrest those under the suspicion of being in the United States illegally, and allow state judges to effectively deport persons convicted, briefly went into effect before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked it, again, late last night.

Given SB 4’s impact on the community, KRGV’s Rudy Mireles took to Facebook to express his frustration with local Rio Grande Valley law enforcement for not providing any comments regarding SB 4 to KRGV or any other local news outlet but, instead, provided comments to “national news” outlets.
