Heavy is the head that wears the crown. 👑

Be there. Be loud. Show the conference what a champion’s house looks like.

I really wish we were talking about ensuring equitable distribution of PUF money to all Texas universities rather than having it all go to just two systems.
As per the #MiamiDolphins, Jacob Rodriguez finished the LVR game with 14 tackles, which are the most by a Dolphins rookie since Zach Thomas had 16 tackles in the second game of his career vs. Arizona on Sept. 8, 1996.
Watched the final version of “The Brand” tonight on Paramount+
I played football at Texas Tech for four years, I started at defensive end (today’s rush end) for two years. As God will struck me down if I am lying, if a recruit doesn’t want to play for Texas Tech and Coach Joey McGuire and his staff, they must have mental issues! I am 75 years old and I would take the one hit left in my body and sacrifice it for Ŧ.
I hate gambling and oppose it in all its forms and would love for all of it to be illegal, but corrupt conferences hiring refs to rig games using secret clocks and then paying off their victims to keep quiet is a much bigger threat to the integrity of athletics than a player betting on outcomes he had no control over. That’s exactly what happened last night in Ann Arbor, and everyone knows it.
The Big 10 tried to destroy Texas Tech for the crime of supporting a player who never played a single snap for the school and whose transgressions all started when he played in the Big 10.
Brendan Sorsby is banned from the NCAA, but every single Big 10 referee involved in rigging that game for Michigan will be officiating games next week.
Brendan Sorsby can’t play college football, but the Big 10 employees who used a secret clock to rig a game and then lie about it will all continue to get paid to do the same thing the next time a non-conference opponent threatens a Big 10 playoff bid.
The Big 10 threatened to ban its members from playing Texas Tech because of one player who gambled while he played in the Big 10. Is anyone going to refuse to play Michigan, or play the Big 10, as a result of Big 10 referees blatantly rigging games for Big 10 schools? No? Isn’t that interesting.
Unless and until every school and conference that had a meltdown over Texas Tech officially boycotts Michigan and the Big 10, we’ll know that the entire Texas Tech uproar was fake. It was never about the integrity of the game. It was never about the sanctity of the sport.
What they were actually mad about was a new world in which their ability to illegally pay players under the table no longer mattered, and they hated the new guy who was now eating their lunch.
When every school and conference which cried about Texas Tech directs the exact same threats at Michigan and the Big 10 for what happened yesterday, we can take them seriously.
I’m not holding my breath.
“We’ll have 2 clocks sir?”
“Yes soldier. One the fans, coaches, players and announcers can see…and no one only 2 people can see”
“Which on will we use sir?”
“No one knows”
Big 10 Office on Monday: “After reviewing the video, it is clear that the game clock should’ve gone to 0:00. We want to apologize to Western Michigan for our mistake.”
Remarkable statistic:
Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.
#TexasTech head coach Joey McGuire on bringing Tech men's basketball head coach Grant McCasland to speak to the Red Raider football team during training camp:
"Grant and I are a lot alike. One thing he talks about is tough teams' win. Our brand is we're the toughest, hardest working, most competitive team in the country. When you have like-minded people that believe that it's great and he has a lot of respect. My players respect Coach McCasland."
NEWS: #TexasTech sophomore safety Peyton Morgan has officially been named a starter in the Red Raiders' defense 🚨
The Pflugerville Weiss product will be Tech's field safety in 2026 🏈

WE HAVE A PROBLEM: This is a well written and thought out article written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve...
My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague." #pleaseshare
Remember @BnanceTTU coming into my office & telling me one of the best D-tackles in the country plays for NIU & he just got in the portal. Made the story crazier when Nance told me that he wasn’t a starter for NIU as a junior but to trust the eval & take him anyway..#TrueStory
