What is song you would play to save someone's life? Jeremy Strong called Bruce Springsteen and asked him that the night before acting out a scene where he did that in the new Bruce biopic. He made a great choice, link below, but what would you suggest? open.spotify.com/track/5PVxfwGP…

You can't coach a student out of loneliness with a reading strategy. Emotional engagement must be addressed before deep academic learning can happen. Here's how coaches can help teachers measure & improve behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement. ow.ly/hkJx50YxchP

@FrankMason0 Good for you Frank. We need him to stay as long as he wants to and as long as it is good for his health.

I’m about to call Coach Self and try to convince to him to stay; I don’t wanna see anyone else coach my Jayhawks anytime soon! 💔

@teacherhead I'm so sorry to hear this Tom. My heart goes out to you and Jule's family. Life is too short.

My oldest dearest friend died today at 60 after 18 months fighting off cancer. He has a beautiful family. My heart goes out to them. We met aged 12… bonded over music and shared experience of bereavement .. his mum, my dad. We were in bands.. at school, in Manchester and recently regrouped in our 60s to make some epic tunes. Jules’ star burned brightly…an extraordinary man with a beautiful soul. We’re all devastated.. Jules.. i love you so much., we’ll miss you. You were magnificent.

@Oldmanriver05 @KSUWindbreaker You should look up that stuff to see how it actually played out. You won't find much. But, seriously, good luck next year. I do think your team made a good hire today. I'm hoping he's around for a long time. The Big 12 is better when K-State is better.

@jimknight99 @KSUWindbreaker Can we now compare NCAA and FBI investigations between the two programs?
