UMass is sold out this weekend against Eastern Michigan, the school’s first sellout since 2014. UMass is 4-0 under second-year coach Joe Harasymiak and barreling toward the program’s first-ever bowl game. They are expecting more than 17,000 fans at McGuirk Alumni Stadium.

Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.
TBC would be excited and honored to build this massive infrastructure project.
Because Loop/Hyperloop is express (i.e. no intermediate stops), one could travel from an Austin parking lot to a favorite San Antonio restaurant in ~30 min. As long as they both have Loop stations!
Thank you to The @BoringCompany for the chance to ride through the Vegas Loop and see the future of transportation firsthand: faster, safer, and more efficient.
As this new wave of infrastructure expands, so will the high-skilled jobs needed to build it.
At @USDOL, we’re preparing workers to seize those opportunities — because American infrastructure should be built by American workers. 🇺🇸

Prufrock builds tunnel rings fully autonomously.
Six concrete segments (~3,750 lb each), are lifted, translated and placed into final position.
That's the weight of a Tesla Model 3, placed with millimeter precision in < 1 minute, monitored remotely from the Global OCC in Texas.
CAN YOU IMAGINE SKIPPING TRAFFIC? THEN CHECK THIS OUT…
I went underground with @boringcompany to check out Nashville’s MUSIC CITY LOOP — a massive 25-mile twin-tunnel system engineered to DELETE airport traffic
✅ @USDOT processed approvals 6X faster than normal
✅ It cost taxpayers exactly $0.00
American innovation is redefining how we move 🇺🇸

Elon Musk’s Boring Company is continuing to expand its underground tunnel system called the Vegas Loop.
Westgate Las Vegas just revealed that it will be the first resort connected directly to Harry Reid International Airport through the Vegas Loop. The system will move travelers between the airport and the resort through underground tunnels in just a few minutes, avoiding typical street traffic along Paradise Road.
At the same time, the Vegas Loop network is continuing to expand across the valley. On Friday, Nevada education leaders approved an agreement allowing the Boring Company to build a tunnel beneath the UNLV campus. The deal includes adding a Vegas Loop station on campus at no cost to the university or the state system.
So far, the Vegas Loop has transported more than 4 million passengers through 11 stations. In the future, the network will be much larger. Clark County and the City of Las Vegas have already approved plans for up to 68 miles of tunnels and 104 stations that will eventually connect Allegiant Stadium, the Strip, downtown Las Vegas, and other major destinations across the valley.
Have you ridden inside the Vegas Loop yet?
Tunnel Vision Challenge results!
We've been overwhelmed with the amazing submissions…so we are announcing three winners!
The Thrilling Three are:
- NOLA Loop (New Orleans, LA)
- Ravens Loop (Baltimore, MD)
- University Hills Loop (Dallas, TX)
What happens next? TBC and the project stakeholders enter into a rigorous diligence process which includes:
- Meetings with elected officials, regulators, community leaders, and business leaders
- Geotechnical borings
- Utility and subsurface infra investigation
Once the diligence (100% funded by TBC) is complete, if all 3 projects are feasible, will fund/build all 3 - this would be awesome. If only 1 is feasible, will fund/build 1.
IN ADDITION, there were multiple other projects that TBC thought were so compelling that we are going to continue to work with the entrants and try to get them built. This includes the following two:
- Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN)
- Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX)
Thanks again to all of the participants - your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team.
