I’m old enough to remember when all the fourth-down analytical knowledge Texas ever needed was kept in The Binder.

Texas is all in on AI. The school is launching Bevo Lab, a 25,000-square-foot sports AI hub, and coaches are already quizzing Google’s Gemini about opponents.
@kirkgoldsberry: “The biggest mystery here is why did it take so freaking long for this to happen at a university?”

Fort Bliss is investigating after photos popped up w/ @usawtfm showing Bradleys covered in graffiti.
Concerned my 8yo and his friends may have been involved because graffiti included the insult "poopy heads." 💩😳

Bevo Lab, what are the odds of success running a pitch play on second-and-goal against Ohio State? While we're at it, what about a max blitz against LSU on third-and-17?
Texas AD Chris Del Conte clarified a published article which said that the decision to go for it on 4th and 2 against Florida last week was based on Bevo Lab analysis. To the contrary, Del Conte said he gave it as an example of what it could suggest, not of what it actually did.

F1 and home football weekend in Austin means that’s an expensive wedding
My wife has a friend's wedding in Austin this weekend.
She WILL NOT have a plus one.
I'm staying back in NYC.
Texas/St. John's at MSG on Sunday and Saliou Niang and Brice Dessert make their debuts for LSU on Saturday.
Life is about choices.
This is ONLY October.

I’m old enough to remember the olden days, when if you thought a product your corporation was developing could do immense damage, you didn’t develop or release the product until it was safe to do so.
ANTHROPIC's DEPUTY CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER: "as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better."

Just to put a cap on this:
Appreciate the folks at BYU for helping out. Steve Sarkisian was 33 times in 1995 & 34 in 96, for an official total of 67.
However, at the time, post-season statis did not count towards official numbers. When you add in the post-season, it's 83.
Sarkisian is told by @EricCHenry_ that he was sacked 83 times while he was the starting QB at BYU
"I was sacked that many times?!?"
