Got engaged yesterday. Texted my buddy, who is a football guy, to let him know the news. He reminded me that he is indeed a football guy.

College football has gone downhill the past few years.

-Rules get broken with little to no punishment
-Players committing/transferring strictly for $
-No loyalty to the school
-CFP expansion has devalued the regular season
-Bowl games also devalued

Take me back to the BCS era

A surprise: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted the injunction he requested by a judge in District Court in Lubbock County, Texas, per @PeteThamel.

Sorsby is now expected to be eligible for the 2026 college football season and will not have to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.

Dog was just waiting for his opportunity to get on the couch haha.

@TimothyJones92 can you DM me it won’t let me message you because you’re verified

30 at midnight, wonder what's next for me

[Sam Porter @SammyP14]

I called the cops and reported a noise complaint on a noisy neighbor for the first time in my life last night.

I felt like an old head doing so but they were blaring music way too loud.

[Sam Porter @SammyP14]

It was all downhill for Duke after CBS put this graphic up.

134-1

I think we take for granted how great we have it. We can press five buttons and someone will deliver you food. You can call or FaceTime your loved ones anytime. You can watch any episode of your favorite TV show whenever you want.

Our ancestors would kill for our lifestyle

I was the student reporter during Sanford's first year at WKU

I fully believe if Brohm stayed one more year, WKU would've gone 13-0 and been in a NY6 bowl.

Sanford was good to the media which I appreciated but man the on-field product was a travesty after the previous two years

[Barstool Western @BarstoolWestern]

So @AltitudeSR decided to delete the video about Mike Sanford throwing shade at WKU after lots of backlash, but here it is.

Imagine being one of the biggest failures in FBS coaching history and then blaming it on players. Absolute clown show 🤡

And now pass interference called on Panthers when the Buccaneers player tripped over himself. Go ahead and give the game to the Buccaneers.

[Sam Porter @SammyP14]

Refs absolutely hosing the Panthers with playoffs on the line.

Missed personal foul and PI that shouldn't have been called on back-to-back plays. Totally changed the game

[Josh Pate @JoshPateCFB]

When people who have lived real lives get control of the marketing department amazing things can happen

Uncommon take: DoorDash is an investment in time. Subscribing to DashPass takes away most the delivery fees and three orders a month makes it worth it.

All that time it takes to cook or go get the food can be invested elsewhere. Time is our most valuable asset.

⚡️The “DoorDash lifestyle” is an artifact of three massive structural shifts older generations don’t see because they didn’t grow up inside them.

Let’s break the illusion.

1. The marginal cost of money changed for Gen Z

For older adults, spending thirty dollars feels like spending thirty dollars.

For kids today, the psychological cost is closer to:

“three microtransactions worth of friction”

Because their financial environment is built on:
•instant digital payments
•low-commitment gig incomes
•parents transferring money fluidly
•side hustles paid in irregular small bursts
•stimulus-era normalization of cash flow volatility

Teenagers today often have:
•$30 now
•$0 tomorrow
•$50 on Friday
•$15 in crypto
•$70 in Cash App from someone they did homework for
•a $20 Venmo from grandma
•$60 from a weekend shift

There is no “budget.”
There is flow.

And in a flow economy, a $30 DoorDash order is not a “luxury”.
It is just another digital outflow in a stream of constant micro inflows.

2. Consumption is now social currency

Older generations spent money to solve problems.

Gen Z spends money to signal identity, reduce friction, and avoid emotional drag.

DoorDash is not about food.

It is about:
•eliminating effort
•eliminating planning
•eliminating discomfort
•eliminating logistics
•eliminating decision fatigue

This generation pays premiums to remove negative psychic load.

Food delivery is an anxiety-management subscription.

And they learned this from:
•Amazon Prime
•Uber
•TikTok dopamine tuning
•frictionless apps
•the collapse of effort-based value signals

Convenience is the default baseline now.

3. The middle class collapsed, but lifestyle costs decoupled from income

This is the part most boomers and Gen X don’t understand.

Kids aren’t behaving like they’re poor.
They’re behaving like people living in a post-middle-class economy where:
•ownership is dead
•savings are pointless
•buying a home is impossible
•college is a debt sentence
•inflation destroys the dollar
•wages do not map to adult milestones
•upward mobility is gone

So what happens?

They shift to a present-maximization mindset.

If the future is unaffordable anyway,
why not buy the burrito now?

Younger people are not reckless.
They are rational inside a broken incentive system.

The real truth

DoorDash is a symptom.

A society where:
•future stability is gone
•wages stagnate
•housing is unattainable
•attention is fragmented
•convenience is normalized
•friction feels archaic
•everything is mediated digitally

…will produce kids who treat $30 like a tap on a screen, not a financial decision.

They’re not “funding a lifestyle.”

They’re surviving inside the economy they were handed.

Give Diego Pavia the Heisman

He’s got the numbers and taking a program like Vanderbilt to the CFP is something most people never thought would happen

St. Brown podcast is going to be a must-listen this week for multiple reasons

[Sam Porter @SammyP14]

@kyhighs Their belief is that if they reply to accounts with big followers it will boost visibility and people will click on their pages to see whatever nonsense they’re selling. It’s usually crypto or stock related. It’s bad on Instagram and TikTok too.

[Eric Woodyard @E_Woodyard]

#Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was impressed with the offense, saying they needed one like today. He was often matched up with Dolphins CB Jack Jones, a fellow Cali native who he's known since HS, but got the better of him in. "He's a talker but that’s what gets him going," he said.

@JoshPateCFB Big time. Nobody covers college football better. Congrats JP 🚂

[Sam Porter @SammyP14]

Wearing a sports jersey of a player younger than you is weird

[Andrew Wall @aweezy_9]

@SammyP14 30 bomb I think. Happy birthday brotha
