Decent Week: Texas Tech Kid Drills Full Court Putt, Celebrates With Patrick Mahomes, Gets Surprised On National TV That His Tuition Is Being Paid For

We got ourselves another full court putt being made during a basketball game. Feels like something is up, there's been way more made putts this year than ever before. Gotta figure that out. But this kid Blake drills the putt and does the only thing he knew what to do in the moment. Celebrate with Patrick Mahomes. Nailed the celebration. Perfectly executed point and bump. The real bullshit though? This was for AirPods

Look, you're a major power school here. You can't just be giving away AirPods Max for a 94-foot putt. Those are usually for a car or tuition or a good amount of money. However, he was brought onto the Today show. Not sure how it feels to be on the Today show since the only person I know who watches that is my mother. But, it's what was said on there which makes it: 

At the end of the video Mahomes pops in and says that Texas Tech is paying his tuition. That's one hell of a week. You get to be the cock of the walk by drilling a putt. That's one of the cooler feelings. You either want to do that or drill the halfcourt shot. Still never forget the jealousy of seeing my buddy at a Kentucky game in 2005 doing that and getting a big check. He still has the big check and that's all I ever wanted to win. Free tuition works too. That's how you avoid everyone making fun of you for only giving out AirPods Max. 

Not a bad week for a college kid. Sure, Texas Tech winning that game would have helped but Houston is fucking awesome. You get to drill the putt, celebrate with Mahomes and get all the prizes. Not too shabby.
