Pat Ricard with a farewell message on Instagram: “From the very beginning, your passion and support made this city feel like home, and representing you on the field has been one of the greatest honors of my life.”

Miami Ohio when they aren't playing against a D3 team:

No dream is too ambitious, no barrier too high. Victor Glover will soon become the first Black astronaut to fly to the moon on NASA's Artemis II mission. Representation matters. When our children look up at the stars, they need to see themselves reaching for them too. From Earth to the moon, we BELONG everywhere.

53 Wins for the Rockets would be a little disappointing. Was hoping they could push for 60 but injuries and inconsistency has probably derailed that. At this point, homecourt advantage in the 1st round should be the goal. Preferably a top 3 seed. 🚀

THE GOLDEN THIRTEEN In 1944, the Navy gave 16 Black men 8 weeks to complete 16 weeks of training. All 16 passed with some of the highest scores recorded in Navy training. The Navy commissioned only 13. Three men who passed were denied commissions—no reason given. This is their story. In 1944, as World War II raged across the globe, the United States Navy remained strictly segregated. Black sailors were largely confined to menial roles—cooks, stewards, and laborers—regardless of their intelligence or leadership ability. Against this backdrop of institutional racism, a quiet but historic challenge unfolded at Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Illinois. It would produce a group later known as the Golden Thirteen. That year, the Navy selected 16 highly qualified Black enlisted men for an experimental officer training program. From the start, the odds were stacked against them. While white officer candidates received 16 weeks of instruction, these men were ordered to complete the same curriculum in just 8 weeks. They were given no textbooks, little formal instruction, and no assurance that passing would lead to commissions. Instead, they were expected to teach themselves navigation, seamanship, naval law, engineering, and leadership—under intense scrutiny. Despite these conditions, all 16 men passed. Their scores were not merely adequate; they were exceptionally high, surpassing many other officer classes. Their performance left no doubt about their capability or readiness to lead. Yet when results were announced, the Navy commissioned only 13 of them, making them the first Black commissioned officers in U.S. Navy history. The remaining three men, who had also passed, were denied commissions without explanation. No deficiencies were cited. Their exclusion underscored a harsh reality: even excellence could not fully overcome racism. The Golden Thirteen went on to serve with distinction, though often in segregated units and without authority over white sailors. Still, their very presence as officers shattered a barrier that had existed since the Navy’s founding. Their achievement helped expose the lie of racial inferiority and helped pave the way for the Navy’s desegregation in 1948. For decades, their story was largely ignored. There were no parades, no immediate honors. Yet their legacy endures. The Golden Thirteen proved that leadership, intelligence, and courage are not bound by race—and that progress is often forced into existence by undeniable excellence. They were given half the time, fewer resources, and no guarantees. They passed anyway. And in doing so, they changed the U.S. Navy forever.
