✍️ The 1990s gave us some of the weirdest college football uniforms in history.
Before Nike/Adidas took over, Apex One flew too close to the sun. Here's the backstory.
"Those were just hella atrocious."

🚨CYCLE SCORING ALERT🚨
Tons of folks sent this one in from the @Phillies and @Mets game, with Bryce Harper completing the cycle with this fifth inning triple.
I believe this was scored correctly as a triple.
This falls under Rule 9.06; Determining the Value of Base Hits.
The key is Harper never slowed down at all and was going for third the whole time. One of the things the scorer has to determine is whether or not Harper went to third on the throw or not.
He obviously was going for third regardless, and the fact that he would have been out is inconsequential here.
The OS Manual states this:
“Had the bases been empty, would the batter-runner have attempted to advance the extra base? If not, the value of the base hit should not include the additional base.”
The answer on this one is yes, Harper would have ATTEMPTED to advance. Doesn’t say if he would have been safe. Since he would have attempted this regardless of the throw home, he was, IMHO, correctly credited with a triple.
I'm sorry but this is some hometown scorekeeping right here. In no universe should this be called a triple, this is a double and advancing to 3rd on the throw
Big 12 ADs tell @YahooSports they’ve had “serious” talks on not playing Texas Tech. One SEC AD says there should be conversations about not playing Tech “in any sports.”
The Brendan Sorsby ruling has left an industry jarred.
“It’s total f***** bullshit.”

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.
Tarik Skubal underwent elbow surgery May 6.
One month and one day later, he threw five scoreless innings on 54 pitches and punched out six at High-A.
Maybe Skubal is just that guy, but if nanoscope technology halves the return time from bone-chip injuries, what an advancement.
Texas Tech is offering to buyout their game with Abilene Christian AND buyout Texas’ game with Texas State in order to free up Week 1 so the Red Raiders and Longhorns can play each other.
This comes after Steve Sarkisian said Texas could go undefeated against Texas Tech’s schedule with their backups.
