Throwback to the time Tim Tebow broke Herschel Walker’s SEC career rushing touchdown record against Georgia in 2009.
Tebow finished his career with 57 rushing TDs, an SEC record that still stands 17 years later.

“Hey Gemini, if Florida starts its backup QB, how can we still lose?”
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?”

This is why AI is going to take everyone’s job. A simple query could’ve avoided this.

Texas Cowboys gift a hat to the head coach of every conference opponent on their first visit to DKR.

Traditional e-commerce tech stacks are completely unequipped for the rise of AI agents.
Data shows LLMs only successfully capture about 20% of product data right now. As agentic commerce grows, standard scraping and basic APIs fail.
The fix isn't more prompts. It’s structured infra: Model Context Protocol (MCP), Schema.org, and W3C standards.
French AI infra company AlloIA just dropped a full breakdown on this exact architectural shift.

NEW: Comptroller @DonHuffines has signed an executive order aimed at ending state sales taxes on electronic medical records, patient portals, and other healthcare technology systems.
“No Texan should have to pay a tax to see their own medical records.”
All dollars are not equal in media buying. Campaigns that bought their media early have an advantage of those who are buying it late. TV spots are a limited commodity. The price goes up as supply and availability goes down. The early buyers bought more spots and will reach more voters by close to 3-to-1 margin over the campaigns spending money now to buy ads.
The latest ad spend in Texas from 9/1 thru Election Day per @AdImpact_Pol. #txlege
$375 million overall and $443 million since the runoff.

The Austin American-Statesman asks a good question: Why were no funding cuts recommended for NGOs despite performance concerns?
Another good question would be: Why are some municipalities prioritizing raising taxes to fund NGOs in the first place??
Next week, the House Select Committee on Governmental Oversight will examine how local governments are spending public funds and whether Texans’ hard-earned money is being used efficiently on the services they actually need.
