This one was the easiest I'd seen in a while. Had the spangram within 10 seconds and the rest of the puzzle within 2 minutes, no hints.

When did the phrase "welcome in" become so common? I had never heard this phrase until about 4 weeks ago and now everybody seems to be using it.
Had the "perfect game" on this one -- spangram first, no hints -- but I wasn't quite sure what the topic was until 3 words in.

Texas A&M has produced generations of Texan, American, and global leaders committed to the values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service.
These young men and women received a life-changing education in Aggieland and went on to address significant challenges around the world.
I am proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone with fighting Aggies everywhere and look forward to the university’s continued success. Gig ‘em!
Whoop! This week marks 150 years of Aggie nation.
Last night, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution with @SenTedCruz recognizing @TAMU’s 150th anniversary.
From a distinguished history of military service to groundbreaking research, Aggies have always made an enduring impact. Proud to celebrate this Texas institution and its legacy of leadership #GigEm #12thMan
