Big Myke

Anyone else ever gotten a big tattoo and find yourself almost startled by it a few months later? I was just explaining my half sleeve to someone and had to take a moment to think to myself, “Damn. This beautiful piece of art is on my body forever and I could not be happier.”

If you whined and cried about the SB halftime show, I better not see you lifting your fucking margarita while eating a taco today. Fuck you. 😂

@TipsTrent There’s a lot of questionable rankings here, but damn if that one isn’t the craziest. Also, who’s Bob Stroops? The inventor of the stroopwaffel?

Urban meyer at 3 is wild

You mean to tell me the first time this asshole attends the correspondence dinner he’s attacked. But he can golf every weekend without issue. Yeah. Okay.

I love how everyone with a working brain immediately knew it was staged lmfao Whole White House full of fucking frauds, predators and complete morons

The worst part about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is the fact that he raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein. Never forget.

Stop. Staging. Fake. Assassination. Attempts.

Understand the chronology — > Donald Trump was facing the worst ratings of his lifetime > Iran war backfired, gas prices surged, higher cost of living, nothing going right for Trump > Suddenly Trump decided to go to White House Correspondents’ Dinner > A shooter came out of nowhere in the world’s most secure zone and fired shots RANDOMLY (Confirmed by eye witnesses) 😄 > The shooter is shot dead, no trace left whatsoever Suddenly Trump is due to get sympathy, he will be treated like a warrior fighting against satan... Why have we all heard this script somewhere before? 😂

I’m at a wedding for one of my BU roommates this weekend. I’m glad I spent my evening reminiscing with him, and our college and HS friends instead paying attention to the president’s latest PR stunt. That’s all it is. Monday is coming. And the US government is still a failure.

Democrats: "If you redo the TX maps we're going to redo other states." Republicans: "Suck it libtards. Cope." Democrats: "Ok, so we're doing CA and VA." Republicans: "Wait.. no. What? This is the end of America. Stop. You guys are mean."

Again, if you know Ron personally, this is not a surprise. The man knows how to lead, how to listen and how to help young people grow into the best versions of themselves. I’m not talking about basketball. I’m talking about life.

@FlyforaWeitzguy Preach brother!

The abrupt end directly led us to where we are. You need a Barlow and you need a Ron who are great basketball people, but before that, they’re great Butler People.

Comments like this demonstrate a fundamental and emphatic lack of understanding of both Butler and college sports in general. Butler is a special place and special community. But it’s not a special place to play ball. Hiring someone to coach basketball there sets them up to fail.

Must be a damn good hire if Gregg doesn't like it.

Thank you! Ron’s mind on Xs and Os is solid. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant or lying. If the NIL commitment is there, Ron can recruit. He was the best salesman the university had when I was there. Watching him talk to incoming students was a sight to behold.

Oh!

@ButlerBBHQ @ButlerGuru I wouldn’t be upset if Holt came back. But if Steele is out, I’m kind of crossing my fingers for Ron. I know there’s a lot of questions there, but I’ve always envisioned him as the next player to come back and coach. I am also totally biased being a classmate of Ron’s.

@ButlerGuru My vote is for Holtmann. Never thought I’d say that, but best top candidate in my eyes.

Names to watch for the Butler head coaching job according to the below article - Micah Shrewsberry - Chris Holtmann - Ronald Nored - John Groce Travis Steele listed as unlikely Per the article, sounds like Butler plans to announce mid-to-late this week #DawgsOnly

Taking my uncle to his first Butler game on Saturday at DePaul. He loved Hinkle when I took him there the summer of 2024. Thank god there’s a pregame event with a bar. Will we be paying attention past halftime? Doubtful. Do we plan on making friends and having fun? Absolutely.

Straight facts. Hatt Moward rocked even harder. Loved this dude. One of the most Butler Butler players ever. His dad Stan also had the voice of an angel.

Norway consistently wins the most medals at the Winter Olympic Games, with a population of just 5.6 million people. A big part of their success is how they treat youth sports—and it’s the opposite of what we do in the US. Here’s what we can learn from Norway: 1. Scorekeeping: In the US: Youth sports tend to be hyper competitive even at early ages. Leagues almost always keep score. In Norway: Scorekeeping isn’t even allowed until age 13. Removing winners and losers keeps the focus on the process not outcomes. It keeps kids engaged longer because it minimizes pressure (and tears) and maximizes fun, learning, and growth. The goal isn’t to win a third grade championship. It’s to love sport and keep playing. 2. Trophies: In the US: If you give everyone a trophy, you’re creating snowflakes who will never gain a competitive edge. In Norway: Whenever trophies are awarded, they are handed out to everyone. If getting a trophy makes young kids feel good, we should give them trophies. Maybe they’ll come back and play again next year!! As for the creation of snowflakes with no competitive edge—Norway’s athletes are tough as nails and all they do is win. 3. Prioritizing Fun: In the US: Far too often, the goal is to win. In Norway: The national philosophy is “joy of sport.” Youth sports in the US are driven by adults, ego, and money. Youth sports in Norway are driven by fun. Only half of kids in the US participate in sports. The number one reason they drop out: because they aren’t having fun anymore. In Norway, 93% of kids participate in youth sports. Fun is the foremost goal. 4. Playing Multiple Sports: In the US: There’s pressure to specialize early and play your best sport year round. In Norway: Try as many sports as you can before specializing as late as college. Norway encourages kids to try all types of sport. This reduces injury and burnout and increases all-around athleticism. It also helps promotes match quality, or finding the sport you are best suited for as your body develops, which is impossible if you commit to a single sport too early. 5. Affordability In the US: There is increasingly a pay-to-play model with high fees for leagues, equipment, and travel. This excludes many kids from playing. In Norway: It’s a national priority to keep youth sports affordable and therefore accessible for all. Kids aren’t priced out, which creates opportunities for everyone to participate (and develop into athletes), regardless of their parents’ income level. We could learn a lot from Norway: In the US, 70% of kids drop out of youth sports by age 13. This not only diminishes an elite-athlete pipeline, but it also destroys an opportunity for healthy habits and all the character lessons kids can learn from sport. In Norway, lifelong participation in sport is the norm. The goal isn’t to have the best 9U team. It’s to develop the best athletes. Those are two very different things. And Norway has the gold medals to prove it.
