Will have a 17 point lead and still lose.
The KU-UCF game next weekend at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will kick off at 2:45 p.m. and be televised on ESPN2, according to the Big 12 website.

Not good. At all.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

What a beautiful look at the game we love.
My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.

@BrianBledsoe trying not to get too deep in the weeds…but to me, it looks like the HRRR is not as aggressive with the dry plume. In fact, it kinda gets choked off toward the end of the 00z cycle. Am I seeing that correctly? Or am I missing something?

.@BrianBledsoe is an absolute must follow if you’re a farmer or just into weather in the Plains & Rockies. No BS, no sugar coating it, just straight facts. Pattern signal is strong, but details must be worked out WRT trof interaction & Polo. But, someone’s getting a lot of H20
Here is the precipitable water % of normal animation for the next week. The higher the PWAT (precipitable water), the more moisture is present in the atmosphere to produce heavy amounts of rain. PWAT values greater than 150% of normal this time of year is indicative of a tropical airmass. Pushing PWAT values over 200% of normal means BIG rain potential will exist within the main plume. This is an impressive moisture signal, but the important details of how the main upper-level trough absorbs hurricane #Polo won't be determined for a bit... Just recognize the pattern and the potential, and pay attention brianbledsoeweather.com #desertfarmers #cowx #kswx #newx #okwx #txwx #nmwx

Excited for the prospective rain, but have to keep it in check. The rug has been pulled out from underneath is out here so many times in recent years. Gotta stockpile this moisture, because La Niña and drought are coming back for an extended stay beginning in mid-late 2027.
Looking ahead at next week the weather Gods are lining up widespread HEAVY RAIN threats across the central USA. This has become a very dry area. I'm sure farmers are looking at this and certain harvest times but over the next 7 days plenty of rain will fall. The drought monitor is down this morning or I would include it in this post. Fall is kicking in.

RIP to a helluva beauty
Barry was my best friend at ESPN. A big brother figure of rock solid values. I am shook to my core. Barry gave his life to hockey and some of his ESPN family, like me, learned of his shocking death today while at a hockey rink in Las Vegas preparing for the upcoming season. Chilling and fitting--the rink was Barry's home. A more beloved ESPN institution there has not been. We love you, Barry. Forever.
