According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, cases of syphilis are on the rise in Red Raider (Rash) country. Lubbock is said to have 24 confirmed cases this year, compared to 8 cases during the same time last year.
Just in case you were wondering, there’s an Urban Dictionary definition for the “Raider Rash”.
C’mon Texas Tech, when you “Get Your Guns Up” and “Wreck ’em”, make sure to wrap it up.

University of Texas at Austin students only get an average of 6.88 hours of sleep during the week and 7.3 hours on the weekend, according to a study by Jawbone.
The fitness tracking software measured sleeping patterns from tens of thousands of students at over 100 colleges across the United States.
Students who track their sleep with UP at these schools average 7.03 hours of sleep during the week, and 7.38 hours of sleep on weekends.
Longhorns are going to bed at 12:30am during the week and, on average, at 1:27am on the weekends (yeah right). Pretty sure we’re not wearing our fitness bands when we’re out partying downtown.
How much sleep are you getting? Tell us in the comments!

Today, we know why!
He was asked by The Players’ Tribune to document his experience. However, it almost didn’t happen.
According to the article:
Taking pictures at the Super Bowl almost didn’t work out. And it was going to be my bad. Last Thursday, I was rushing to get to the team plane. Two miles away from my house, I had that feeling. I forgot something. I knew it.
He almost forgot his camera! But, he found it just in time and got some pretty good shots. Make sure to check them out.
