Good morning from South Bend, Indiana. The campus is no joke.
On the Diamond
Texas Tech announced the signing of California infielder and catcher Lagi Quiroga who hit .346, 12 home runs and 44 RBIs last year for the Golden Bears.
This would be good.

On the Hardwood
Wes Bloomquist from the official site has a Q&A with new center Luke Bamgboye. This is just one question and answer, but is worth your time.
What do you bring to the team on and off the court?
“I’m a guy who will always play hard and brings the group together. Help at the rim and block a shot or at least get a good contest. I bring energy off the court when we may not be talking too much. I try to be breath of fresh air. I want to bring the energy every day. Whether it’s in practice or a game. I want to be someone that anyone on the team can go and talk to. I want to be known as someone who competes every day.”

This is not related to Texas Tech, but ESPN’s Dan Wetzel on the release of former Baylor basketball player Carlton Dotson, who murdered Patrick Dennehy. Dotson served half of his 35-year sentence. This happened back in 2003 and if you are too young to remember how a Baylor basketball player murdered another basketball Baylor and a coach in Dave Bliss who tried to frame Dennehy, and it was one of the more tragic stories I can remember, especially for the Dennehy family.
On the Gridiron
ESPN’s Chris Low on colege football’s 10 most unbreakable records with Patrick Mahomes’ wizardry:
Before he started collecting Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes played a starring role in one of the wildest shootouts in college football history. Oklahoma and Baker Mayfield outlasted Texas Tech and Mahomes 66-59 in 2016, an offensive smorgasbord that produced one record after another.
Playing through a separated throwing shoulder and fractured left wrist he suffered in the first half, Mahomes set an FBS record with 819 yards of total offense. He completed 52 of 88 passes for 734 yards and five touchdowns and also rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Mayfield, who had transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma, had the “lesser” of the stats between the two future NFL quarterbacks that day. He threw for only 545 yards and seven touchdowns — but got the win. The teams combined for an FBS-record 1,708 yards of offense. “To have both those guys play the way they did … We’ll never see it again, I don’t think,” said Kliff Kingsbury, who was Texas Tech’s head coach that season.
