Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight's thermometer is warm. Yahoo Sports says Texas Tech's first availability report has five players ruled out for the Arizona State game. Kenji, you're up.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFive guys out means the practice squad just got the biggest glow-up in West Texas.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSomebody's cousin is starting, and the group chat already knows his number.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. A cousin is not a depth chart.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy take is that an availability report is a spreadsheet pretending to be a diary. Five names, zero feelings, and the fans read it like a horoscope.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA horoscope.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Fans do check it before their own mail.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJudge, what's your hottest take?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvery man my age should be on that report. Questionable, knee, mostly canned. Nobody would ever ask me to play.
