Remembering Staff Sgt. Darin “Taylor” Hoover, 31. Salt Lake City, Utah. USMC infantry unit leader, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. He was honest, respectful, caring, and compassionate. He dedicated his life to the service of others in and out of uniform. His friends and family knew him as a loving, thoughtful, hard-working man. He loved and was dedicated to serving those around him, his family, and his country. Hero on the front lines, securing an entrance to the Hamid Karzai International airport and screening vulnerable Afghans on their escape to safety as the extremist Taliban took hold of their country. Killed by an ISIS-K suicide attack that targeted him, his teammates, and the surrounding innocent civilians. He served three tours of duty in his eleven years in the Marine Corps with unwavering bravery, valor, and honor. Hero to the end. His dedication and courage will never be forgotten. Semper Fi. 🇺🇸
Remembering Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui, 20. Norco, California. USMC, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. Family members say, “He intended to become a Marine immediately after graduation.” Hero who was helping others in need. Killed along with 12 other U.S. service personnel after a suicide bomber detonated explosives at Abbey Gate, Kabul, August 26, 2021. His dedication and courage will never be forgotten. Semper Fi. 🇺🇸
NEW: Steve Sarkisian on Ole Miss’ transfer portal practices and academic standards: “At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours. You may be a semester from graduating, but you’re going all the way back to 50% if you play here and want a degree. But at Ole Miss, they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.” (via @MattHayesCFB) on3.com/news/steve-sar…
NEW: Lane Kiffin explains to @whalexander_ his decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU — and why time will prove he made the right choice: "It'll show in Year 2, 3. It's going to show that we have the same systems, we have all this stuff and we brought it here, and combined it with the branding of LSU and the ability to sign elite high school (players). That will show. It may not be next year, but this wasn’t a one-year decision." Story: on3.com/news/lane-kiff…

Steve Sarkisian tells @MattHayesCFB academic standards are different at Texas. “At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours. But at Ole Miss, all you have to do is take basket weaving & you can get an Ole Miss degree.” on3.com/news/steve-sar…
