It’s all right, college football fans. You can admit it. We get you. Most of you are just waiting for the weekend, when the truly meaningful postseason games in the Football Bowl Subdivision will take place. But hey, non-playoff football is still better than no football, right?
The bowl season continues Tuesday night with a single game on the lineup in the Lone Star State. Here’s a quick look at the participating teams, one of which had a mostly enjoyable fall in 2024 while the other is now turning an eye toward the future with a nod to its past.
Time/TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
Why watch: The first ranked team to take the field in the bowl season seeks a second win against power conference competition. The Tigers overcame an early setback against Navy to win six of their last seven, while the Mountaineers will be in the midst of a change in leadership following an uneven Big 12 campaign. Offensive coordinator Chad Scott will coach WVU in the bowl game following Neal Brown’s dismissal. There will at least be a veteran hand at the controls in QB Garrett Greene, though he’ll want to forget his most recent outing quickly in which an interception and lost fumble helped Texas Tech on its way to a 52-15 romp. Another high-octane offense awaits. Memphis puts up over 35 points a game, led by the accomplished triumvirate of QB Seth Henigan, RB Mario Anderson Jr. and WR Roc Taylor.
NEW BOSSES:Where does Bill Belichick rank among the coaching hires?

Why it could disappoint: This has all the makings of a mismatch. There’s some optimism in Morgantown with the pending return of Rich Rodriguez, but fielding a competitive team here with all the portal departures will be difficult.

Opensea’s Cayman Islands Registration Sparks Airdrop Rumour – Crypto Times
Blur’s dominance, particularly its season-based token rewards, has led to an explosion in trading volumes and user engagement.
Dishita Malvania
The NFT world is buzzing with excitement as speculation mounts over OpenSea’s potential token launch and airdrop, fueled by a recent registration in the Cayman Islands and a cryptic announcement from the platform’s co-founder.
After a quiet but intriguing statement by OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer on November 4, hinting at a major relaunch in December, rumors have been swirling that the revamped platform could include a lucrative airdrop for loyal users.
The news of OpenSea’s registration in the Cayman Islands, shared on December 14 by pseudonymous researcher Waleswoosh, has further ignited the firestorm of speculation. This development has sparked intense conversations within the NFT community, especially as OpenSea has long been a key player in the market.
The idea of rewarding early users with an airdrop, similar to strategies seen with competitors like Blur and Magic Eden, has many hopeful for a major payout.
Since its launch, OpenSea has been under pressure from emerging competitors, most notably Blur, which has captured market share through a successful airdrop strategy. Blur’s dominance, particularly its season-based token rewards, has led to an explosion in trading volumes and user engagement.
Reports even surfaced of users earning up to $11 million in tokens after Blur’s second-season rewards. Magic Eden also tried its hand at an airdrop with its ME token, though it faced challenges after an initial surge in price, with the token’s value dropping nearly 70% amid user complaints.
OpenSea, in a bid to reclaim market dominance, has taken its own steps to stay competitive, including the introduction of zero fees in February. But despite these efforts, Blur has continued to overshadow the NFT marketplace leader in trading volumes. As a result, there’s growing speculation that OpenSea may look to follow in Blur’s footsteps, issuing tokens as a way to both attract new users and reward loyal ones.
While the NFT community eagerly awaits official word on an OpenSea token, many users are hopeful that the platform will use the airdrop as a way to rebuild trust and loyalty, particularly after the boom in NFT sales during 2021 and 2022. However, concerns remain about whether the airdrop will appropriately account for the significant trading activity from those peak years.

Hampton teachers recognized at Celebrating Leadership in Education Awards – Seacoastonline.com
HAMPTON — Two Hampton School District educators were recently recognized by the New Hampshire Department of Education.
Hampton Academy technology teacher Brian Gray and Marston School grade 5 teacher Jason Schrack were recognized for their participation in the 2025 Teacher of the Year selection process during the 22nd annual Celebrating Leadership in Education Awards ceremony on Dec. 4.
Schrack was selected as a semifinalist for the award, and Gray as a finalist.
In attendance at the ceremony were Gov. Chris Sununu, Gov.-elect Kelly Ayotte, and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut.
Gray joined Hampton Academy this year from Sanborn Regional High School, where he was nominated for Teacher of the Year as a business technology and social studies teacher. With 16 years of experience, Gray has a passion for bridging classroom learning with real-world applications, ensuring his students are prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Gray has made an immediate impact on Hampton Academy’s technology program. From helping students produce the Shark News to teaching robotics and social media safety, he has brought fresh ideas and a collaborative spirit to the school.
“Brian’s commitment to education and his students has already made a lasting difference at Hampton Academy,” said Hampton Academy Principal Neal Campbell.
Adeline C. Marston School grade 5 teacher Jason Schrack was also recognized for his achievement in being named a semifinalist.
Schrack has been a teacher at Marston School for the past 17 years, during which time he has taught grades 3, 4 and 5. He was nominated for Teacher of the Year by parents of students, who appreciated his work to create a welcoming and warm learning environment.
“Both Brian and Jason are wonderful representations of our educators in the Hampton School District,” said SAU 90 Superintendent Lois Costa. “We are all extremely proud of their hard work, dedication to students, and their persistence to be the educators that our community deserves. Congratulations to both of them on their recognition!”
