Top trending topics on X: September 4
Colorado: The Buffaloes' 14-13 win in Atlanta on Thursday night. AP said Lewis finished 14-of-27 for 124 yards. Deion Sanders' club opened the 2026 season on a last-minute drive after a blocked CU field goal had left Georgia Tech up 13-7.
Rutgers: Scarlet Knights, 0-1 after a 37-21 home loss to UMass at SHI Stadium. Rutgers Athletics listed 42,454 in attendance and Dylan Lonergan at 242 passing yards. New.
Beyonce: Rank-3 string on the board (encoding shows a mixed glyph; the topic is Beyonce). Variety said the 20th-anniversary B'Day deluxe, tied to her September 4 44th birthday and the album's September 4, 2006 release, includes Irreemplazable (Como La Flor) with Selena and Cuerpo Tumbao with Maluma. New.

Julian Lewis: Colorado freshman quarterback. AP said a 17-play, 61-yard drive earlier had a 38-yard try blocked, then Lewis won it with 42 seconds left. New.
$MEME: Ticker-style string. No widely reported listing or protocol trigger identified for September 4. New.
Zverev: Alexander Zverev, top seed at the U.S. Open. AP said he survived Lorenzo Sonego 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-5, 6-4 in 4 hours 52 minutes, avoiding the first men's No. 1-seed opening-round Slam loss since 2003. Holds at 7 from yesterday.

What today's X topics reveal
Thursday night college football owns five of the top 10. Colorado's last-minute win splits into team, quarterback, and blocker strings. UMass and Rutgers are the other game, a 37-21 result that the Minutemen labeled a shock.
Culture rows are birthday and comeback drops: Beyonce's B'Day reissue on the album's 20th anniversary date, JISOO's CLICK, and Maria as a one-name Fox ouster.
$MEME is the unmatched ticker. Zverev is the only string that survived from September 3, still attached to a five-set U.S. Open opener rather than a new match result on this snapshot.
