Fascinating Big 12 slate this week. Houston/KSU is a bit of an elimination game, neither team can afford a second loss this early Oklahoma State has to beat UCF at home Arizona cannot fall to the 0-2 WVU, but what are the vibes for Rich Rod if they start 0

Here are the last two plays of the first half from TTU vs COL. Mateen Ibirogba was knocking down doors and slipping blocks to collapse that pocket in a hurry. #NFLDraft | @TexasTechFB

Texas added a bunch of batteries to the grid and now it's so reliable that it doesn't have huge price swings like it used to just a few years ago. This is one of the ways to practically beat global warming in the sense that new technology is allowing us to weather the heat.

Update: It was real. 1st six plays of the first half and 1st two of the second half (then picked off)

After Texas Tech’s road win against Colorado, Utah has moved into a tie for the favorite to win the Big 12 conference

5-0

I’ll take you there

Great conversation today about Will Hammond and Tech’s belief (or lack therof) in him. Take a listen

Lamont Lester being out would be a MASSIVE loss vs Texas Tech. He's been a dawg so far (video coming tmrw about Lamont vs Baylor) But he also excels at what these Tech tackles could struggle with... and idk if CU has another pass rusher that can take advantage of it

College football viewership is down 11% through September compared to last season. FBS game broadcasts are averaging 1.7 million viewers across all Nielsen-rated networks.

Today is the anniversary of the Simon-Ehrlich Bet, one of the most famous wagers in economic history. The biologist Paul Ehrlich had long argued that population growth would push up against hard limits, leading to resource scarcity and population collapse. The economist Julian Simon claimed the opposite: that more minds would mean more innovation and, ultimately, more abundance. On Sept. 29, 1980, they made a bet, putting their competing views of humanity's relationship to scarcity to a 10-year test.

I’ll be in Boulder this weekend for the Texas Tech/Colorado game. Any food spots we should absolutely make sure to hit up while we are there?

Colorado is likely to start Isaac Wilson, over Juju Lewis, this weekend against Tech He posted a 48% completion rate compared to Juju's 68%. Despite this, he was more effective at .131 EPA/pass compared to .02 for Juju He's going to throw it deep and Tech needs to be prepared

CBO just released its latest "Distribution of Household Income" report (for year 2023), and the findings are - as usual - a narrative violation. Real incomes up across the board. Income inequality basically flat for decades. Taxes falling for everyone except the rich.

Sending all the love and prayers to #Patriots rookie Eli Raridon and his wife Anna, following the loss of their first child, Peter James Raridon. 💔 “When Eli and I went in for our 20-week anatomy scan, excited to see our sweet baby boy, our hearts were forever changed. Our little one was diagnosed with anencephaly, a fatal condition in which he would not survive outside the womb. While we are absolutely devastated that we were unable to bring our baby boy home, I am grateful to have loved him deeply, kept him safe, and had been his home for the past 9 months before he was called back to Heaven.” Absolutely devastating… You never know what someone is going through.

From the Colorado presser, sounds like WR DeAndre Moore, TE Zach Atkins, and DE Lamont Lester should all be good to go. WR Danny Scudero is expected to miss. Granted, I have no experience deciphering Coach Prime’s injury coach speak, but that’s what it sounded like to me.
