Did you stay up to listen to Taylor Swift's new album drop at midnight? Well, if you're a Texas fan, you should have. According to "The Morning Brew," since 2006, the University of Texas football team is 8–1 in games following a TSwift album drop.

Sports Are The Universe
If a full moon makes people crazy, imagine what a Sports Equinox does around here. What's a Sports Equinox? It's when all four major professional sports play on the same day - MLB (Major League Baseball), NBA (National Basketball Association), NHL (National Hockey League) and NFL (National Football League). It's a record year with four Sports Equinoxes. There was one yesterday, back-to-back days this Sunday and Monday, then another on Halloween.
According to CBS, There was a 16-year period from 1985 - 2001 without a single Sports Equinox. They have been happening more often because of the NFL's Thursday Night Football, which officially debuted in 2006. OUT OF THIS WORLD
*Side note, yes, we're also in the midst of MLS (Major League Soccer) playoffs, but they're not (yet) considered one of the big four.
