All I've wanted...all day...was Wendys.

@Matt_Pinner I did it yesterday for a chili dog

You’re offered $2 million to uninstall Facebook from your phone forever. Would you do it?

The bottom of the 6th was about as 2025 Cincinnati as it gets.

I love Opening Day. Reds playing with fire through 5 but it's still scoreless.

@Mr_Husky1 Final paper and he has to come back after emailing it?

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

Absolutely yes.

Get this kid a meeting with Julian Larry stat!

How about Dra...er Iowa!

Holy cow Rob Martin!

@TheStateofBball People gonna start lining up games with Belmont to see Valpo go 29-3

I’m not even joking, Valpo will be the MVC preseason favorite and it’ll be the right choice. Roger Powell Jr has a special thing brewing in NW Indiana

I tell the story all the time...me & the guys in Myrtle Beach in 2021 for ISU and ODU, listening to Zak Boisvert call out every single play before ODU ran it. Absolute destruction that night. Georgia just got floppy flexed.

I'd imagine the prop on Isaac Holmes AND Jaden Schertz both playing in an NCAA tournament game was around 10000 to 1.

@RickSemmler Rob Martin?

Enjoy your One Shining Moment High Point!

That's one heck of a stat line for former Sycamore Rob Martin. 20, 10, 3, and 2.

This is a banger quote

EX-Sycamores all over Buffalo...Ryan Conwell will get it started and Robbie Avila will turn off the lights this evening.

@IndStBasketball making the TNT pregame in the Duke/Boozer highlight montage.

That brought back memories. Congrats to K. Smith and the Redhawks.

Miami Ohio is 1-0 in Quad 1 games
