A San Antonio judge running for reelection is under fire for YouTube video his opponent calls "undignified."

Carlos Quezada, 289th District Court Judge, was featured in a parody video posted to YouTube on January 30 showing him presiding over fake bench trial over a woman who stole Cleto Rodriguez's (yes that Cleto) "lucky" underwear, or chones, and used them as a rag for cleaning, reports the Express-News.

Quezada, running on the Democraticballot,told Express-News that he didn't think anyone would take the video seriously because he was having fun. His opponent in the Democratic primary, Rose Zebell-Sosa, believes Quezada is in violation of judicial conduct rules.

The video is awkward, to say the least, but it also leaves us with a lot of questions. Some of them answered. Someof them not.

The video was posted by a channel called The Carpenter's Apprentice, which reportedly belongs to a man named Roy Aguillon, according to the Express-News article.

Exactly. The Express-News says Aguillon is a political activist for the Southside who ran unsuccessfully for San Antonio City Council in 2015.

According to a welcome video on his channel, Aguillon credits writer and right-wing figure Jordan Peterson for helping him get his life back together. Peterson has publicly made transphobic remarks and railed against feminists. Peterson believes feminism is destroying America. And men.

The video is a little cringe, but apparently Quezada made it to campaign for reelection to his district judge seat. Near the end of the video he asks the fake plaintiff and defendant for their vote.

We're not sure. He is a local celebrity and Cleto does appears in several of Aguillon's videos, including a recent video segment he introduces as "Cleto's Community" where he interviews Pamela Espurvoa Allen, founder of Eagle's Flight Advocacy and Outreach.

His opponent Zebell-Sosa appears to imply that it can. She told the Express-News that she finds it "disturbing, undignified and disappointing." His opponent says the video also promotes stereotypes.

Again, Zebell-Sosa seems to think it could. Judges are held to rules and standards of conduct set out by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

That remains to be seen. Jacqueline Habersham, executive director of the SCJC, told the Express-News whether Quezada was in violation of any of the rules to warrant an investigation.

Quite often. In fact, there is a whole public archive of suspensions, resignations, and sanctions.

It's five minutes long. The "joke" is presented in the first minute and 30 seconds. After a while, the "holey chones" discourse becomes awkward. Maybe there will be a re-cut?

Depends on who you speak to. There have been more serious judicial violations and investigations against Texas judges in the past. There was a district judge in Polk County who was accused of showing prejudice against a defendant, and a Burnet County judge who took to Facebook to say the man charged with the murder of SAPD Detective Benjamin Marconi should be lynched.

God, I sure hope not.

The primaries and midterms are upon us so only time will tell. Some of his supporters and people on the fence could legitimately be offended by the video, which Zebell-Sosa says mocks court proceedings. Or they could not care at all.

Election Day for the primaries is on March 1.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. The No. 7-ranked Indiana Hoosiers will host its annual "Head to the Hall" game on Saturday at 3 p.m. versus the Michigan State Spartans in a rescheduled matchup.

Indiana (17-3, 9-1 Big Ten) was originally supposed to play Michigan State (13-10, 7-5 Big Ten) on Jan. 19, but the game was postponed due to COVID-19 protocol within Indiana's program as part of the Hoosiers' 15-day break.

Since then, the Spartans have won four of their six games including their most recent 63-57 win over No. 4 Michigan, the Hoosiers' only Big Ten loss this season.

Michigan State is led by senior guard Nia Clouden who's averaging 21.3 points per game. Freshman forward Matilda Ekh adds 12.2 points contributing to the Spartans' average 73 points per game just barely higher than Indiana's 72.6 points.

The Hoosiers were led by starting forward Mackenzie Holmes until shewas sidelined with a knee injury before the Nebraska game in mid-January.

"Since Mack's been out, there's been many games where it just seems like the offense has been hard to find, and we had to keep grinding away and at times manufacture the pieces in different spots," Indiana head coach Teri Moren said.

That all changed on Wednesday when the Hoosiers shut down Illinois 93-61 on the road. Graduate student guard Ali Patberg led the way with 26 points to move her up as Indiana's ninth all-time leading scorer with 1,613 career points. She also ranks third in program assists with 486.

"We expect Ali to be a force for us offensively," Moren said. "The last two games haven't looked like that for her, but I thought she came out tonight (Wednesday) and was assertive really looking to take shots."

In the mean time while Holmes heals, sophomore Kiandra Browne is replacing her as starting forward.

Moren said Browne is doing exactly what the team hoped she would do and loves when she snags the offensive rebound by tipping it out to her teammates. She totaled six points and six rebounds in the win over the Fighting Illini.

As far as Holmes goes, Moren said expect her to be back sooner than later.

"I think she's getting closer," Moren said. "She is on the floor not from a team perspective, but she is doing some individual stuff right now. I think everybody's excited about where she is right now in terms of her rehab and her recovery of getting back on the floor soon."

Until then, Indiana has more players that are eager to fill in. Freshman guard Kailtin Peterson came in off the bench in the Illinois win to relieve starters and put down a career-high 11 points on three three-pointers.

"I just try to stay ready and play hard whenever I'm in for my teammates and coaches," Peterson said. "We all work hard, and it's paying off, and we work together. We're close with each other."

The Hoosiers shot 57.6 percent from the floor in a game Moren called one of the team's best offensive performances.

"I felt like we were shooting the ball well," Moren said. "I felt like things were going our way, and I think it just gives everybody including our staff, including the bench a lot of energy and a lot of confidence that things are going our way."
