Texas has as many wins against opponents ranked in the Top 14 this season as Miami has since 2018.

Cooper’s Old Time Pit BBQ in New Braunfels, which hosted Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for a GOTV event Saturday, says:
“We are not in the business of endorsing political candidates. This is the action of a rogue employee and was not authorized by ownership.”

Sources: Texas star left tackle Trevor Goosby will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury against Ole Miss on Saturday. Goosby is the country’s top NFL prospect at left tackle, as ESPN’s Field Yates ranked him the No. 8 pick in his most recent mock draft.

• Sumlin 25-9 (0.735)
• Jimbo 24-10 (0.706)
• Elko 23-11 (0.676)
$100 million in buyouts since 2017 and the Aggies keep getting worse!!!

🚨 ROADWAY WASHED AWAY🚨
CO 151 has sustained major damage after the roadway washed away.
The highway between Pagosa Springs and Ignacio will remain closed until repairs can be completed and the roadway is safe for travel. #COwx

Texas A&M is now 0-5 against ranked opponents since Mike Elko’s extension.
They’ve lost those 5 games by an average margin of 15.2 points.
The Aggies had the lead or were tied at halftime in 3 of those losses.
The offense has scored 4 touchdowns in those 5 games.

The extension. This has been the death knell since joining the SEC.
Something is broken at Texas A&M and it transcends the head coach.
Since joining the SEC Texas A&M's Head coaches (Sumlin, Jimbo, & Elko) are (vs P4 only)
Before extension
44-20
Post extension
30-35
How is Texas A&M breaking coaches? Why is A&M rushing to extensions amid rumors of other schools courting our coach (Sumlin was USC, Jimbo was LSU, and Elko was Penn State)?
The last coach to leave Texas A&M and immediately have great success at their next stop was Bear Bryant.
I had some thoughts after the LSU loss that are still prescient (video below).
Something is wrong here. It's been the same cycle with 3 different athletic directors. It's us. Something is broken that has been here for a long time. I wish I knew what it was.

AI models have been brought down to earth—just when everyone was getting worshippy about them. For days, physical models insisted #Typhoon #CHAMPI would hit Taiwan while Google DeepMind insisted it would cleanly miss. CHAMPI is now clobbering Taiwan. Ouchies for Google DeepMind.

This is going to be a generational winter for coastal flooding and erosion along California’s coast.
A marine heatwave plus a Kelvin Wave from El Niño have already rapidly raised water levels in recent weeks. Combined with king tides this winter, it’s likely every coastal city from the Bay Area to SoCal will see their highest water levels in recorded history.

At 6:30am on October 24, 2005 Hurricane Wilma struck South Florida as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph. Wilma’s large eye spread hurricane force winds across many areas in South Florida causing a widespread swath of damage. Damages from Wilma totaled $20.6 billion in Florida. Up to 98% of south Florida, including over 3 million residents, lost power. Today also marks 21 years the last time Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties experienced sustained hurricane force winds. #FLwx #wilma21

CFB Playoff Field by Conference
ACC/BigXii - 3
Big Ten - 3 (maybe)
IND - 1
G6 - 1
SEC - 4
I can't see a world where the BigXII and ACC both get multiple bids and at this point I'm not convinced the Big Ten gets 3 bids either
This is where we're headed

Along with the usual crop of coaches and coordinators, a name expected to be in the mix in the NC State process is former star quarterback Philip Rivers. His son, Gunner Rivers, is a highly regarded quarterback recruit committed to play there in Class of 2027.

Quick thoughts:
-LSU’s “A” game might be better than anyone.
-Big 12 getting two teams unlikely now.
-Notre Dame is out with two losses.
-SEC is getting a ton of teams in. Multiple 3-loss.
-More big upsets coming. Every week.

I just discovered a stat that left me a little astounded - Clemson has 2 passing touchdowns. TWO. For the entire season. How is that possible??
That is 138th in the country. Out of 138 schools.
