Depends who you are. That’s almost a year worth of income for my family. For some, that’s a paid-off small home (after taxes).

My dad hung Vince Lombardi’s “What it takes to be number 1” on my bedroom wall as a kid. Honestly, I read it so much (because it was forever hanging on my wall) that I can honestly say it shaped how I thought in a good way.
Admittedly, it doesn’t hurt that my dad valued the message and I valued my dad…so it was biased to stick.

There are 361 NCAA Div 1 basketball teams, with a 68-team tournament. The vast majority enter every season with a 0.0 chance at winning a championship.

A year with a baseball, basketball, women’s basketball, track and field (indoor and outdoor), gymnastics, golf and volleyball championship
Versus
A football championship
Yeah…it would be pretty great to see us sweep everything else. We’ll win more football championships

the day I am getting “nuggets for my own life” from Lane Kiffin’s press conference (or any football coach) it’s time for me to take a step back, and reevaluate some things.
Having spent over 2 decades now in positions of increasing organizational leadership, I can tell you that there are many books by coaches that have some great insights on how to lead effectively and manage organizations.
You don’t become successful by accident—in any field—and even coaches you don’t admire overall still have things they do very well.

Haven’t both healthy QBs been throwing loads of interceptions this Spring?

Pretty sure when Lou Holtz was scratching out his high school homework on a chalkboard by candlelight, his only options would have been boxing and horse racing.
Football didn’t start until post-Civil War.

Giving up a 10-0 run in 90 sec is brutal

Honestly, I can’t wait until the starters are Richard, Fulwiley, Hines, Knox, and a talented transfer center.

They fouled Okot about 3 times while she was holding it before she drove for the layup.

They tried to intentionally foul Okot and the ref wouldn’t give it to them

Revenge is best served cold. That’s the actual phrase, which makes sense.

basketball is just a woke sport that has been crammed down our throats for years
Basketball is one of the 4 sports in America that people care about, and hockey isn’t a factor in the South. What—in your mind—makes it more “woke” than any other sport? It’s just men competing; it’s like any other sport.
You don’t have to like basketball, but don’t misattribute a political term just because we suck at fielding good teams. We’re a major school with a great athletic tradition. We should be good at a major sport.
