‘We’re very, very close’: Dillingham remains steadfast, stresses confidence as key to ASU turnaround
Kenny Dillingham paused, stuttering even. A bit astonished. But his raw emotion filled the vacant space of Texas Tech's visiting press conference room. A question about how vital his team's leaders would be in turning around a puzzling start to the 2026 season gave way to a vulnerable soliloquy. His candid response, one fans have slowly begun to grow tired of, echoed the frustration of a fan base amid the Sun Devils' baffling 3-3 start.

Sources Say goes LIVE to talk Little Rock overreactions, the AP Poll and Texas Tech
Phew, to say the reaction following Kentucky‘s 20-point win over Little Rock to begin exhibition play was strong would be an understatement. Big Blue Nation did not love scoring just 69 points against Travis Ford’s Trojans—even if they allowed just 49 on elite defensive shooting splits. The reality is that fans are in a tricky spot right now and the toxicity will probably be here to stay until that Champions Classic battle vs. Kansas and Tyran Stokes—and a big-time recruiting win probably wouldn’t hurt, either. Sources Say tries talking BBN off the ledge after a good-not-great performance vs. ...

Mandel: Texas Tech is going to “come back to Earth” at Cincinnati
Texas Tech is 6-0 and a 10.5-point favorite heading into Saturday’s trip to Cincinnati. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Ralph Russo and Stewart Mandel previewed the matchup this week on their podcast, “The Audible,” and Mandel broke from Feldman and Russo on how it plays out. Sorsby Bowl?The main storyline between these two programs is former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who transferred to Lubbock this offseason before stepping away from the program in the summer. He won’t be on the field Saturday, but that didn’t stop the panel from dubbing the game the “Sorsby Bowl.” Feldman set up t...

The Morning Stake | 2026.10.22
A short and sweet Morning Stake and I am praying I can fill out the preview for tomorrow in a decent way. We had regional band competition last night in Mesquite. The Kaufman High School band scored a 1 (which is the best you can score) and will move on to area in a week. The Kaufman HS football team plays tonight (yes, not Friday night) and through 8 games, he’s had to move more towards running back as the senior running back hurt his shoulder and Yo has played there more than receiver. Thus far, he’s got 573 yards on 86 carries, averaging 6.7 yards a carry, 71.6 yards a game, with 5 touchdowns. He’s also got 45 receptions with 771 yards, 17.1 yards per catch, 96.4 receiving yards a game, and 6 touchdowns.

Joined by senior returner Jalynn Bristow and newcomer Rhema Collins at Tuesday’s Big 12 Basketball Media Days in Kansas City, Gerlich discussed how a new group can build on that success. “You have to trust your culture. You have to trust the standards that you set,” Gerlich said. “I think Jalynn Bristow is doing a fantastic job as the lone returner, telling our kids and showing our kids what the culture is all about....

Vigor and confidence collapsed against Texas Tech, Kenny Dillingham is trying to stop it from happening again
Arizona State entered Galaxy Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, off the back of what head coach Kenny Dillingham described as the team’s best week of practice so far. The energy was high, and the hitting were hard. Passion showed not only in the individuals who succeeded, but also in the larger units they made up. The Sun Devils carried over the same mindset into the Lone Star State, but as soon as the going got tough against then-No.10 Texas Tech, everything fell apart. ASU found itself building momentum early in the first quarter after forcing a Red Raiders fumble in the red zone. The cracks immedia...

Texas Tech basketball earns spot in preseason coaches poll. Here's where they rank
The Texas Tech basketball team will enter another season with a number next to its name. The Red Raiders landed at No. 16 in the USA TODAY Sports preseason Top 25, released on Monday. Grant McCasland's team is coming off a 23-11 record that included a second-round March Madness exit, falling to Alabama in Tampa. Texas Tech now turns to the 2026-27 season with plenty of new faces, but a few old ones returning as well. JT Toppin is expected to return to the floor eventually, while Darrion Williams has returned to the Red Raiders after spending last year at NC State. Donovan Atwell, like Williams, also has a temporary injunction to compete with Tech after a record-setting season. Arizona is the top-ranked Big 12 team in the preseason coaches poll, coming in at No. 4. Houston is eighth, and Iowa State is tied for 14th, making Texas Tech the fourth-highest-ranked Big 12 team in the poll, which also features Kansas (18th) and BYU (25th). Toppin, Williams, Atwell and McCasland will be on hand in Kansas City for Big 12 media day to preview the season this week.
