I’m a fan of many college basketball officials, but when an official blows a call, he’s gotta give the coach a little more leeway. Unless Jaime dropped an F bomb, which I’ve never heard from him, you need to have a longer fuse. 🤷🏼‍♂️🏀

In a world of Paul Ehrlichs, be a Norman Borlaug

Thank you @ijackson81 for the invite. Excited to compete! @KjarEric @ijackson81 @Tana_Vea @weberstatefb @al3124 @GHS_Cowboys

Incredible. Bald eagle lands on a Canadian flag at half mast in Vancouver right after the Olympic hockey game.

Mom said we can have a sleepover

"Our country loves sports and it brings us together unlike anything else." Mike Tirico wraps up a HISTORIC #WinterOlympics for Team USA. 🇺🇸

Next time the partner sends a “where are we on this” on a Friday, hit them with this.

In Vermont, fewer babies were born in 2025 than in 1857. Sad.

Dartmouth President Sian Beilock: “Assuming that most Americans value our mission is a recipe for irrelevance and decline. We must demonstrate to students and families—and to the broader public—that we’ve heard their criticisms and will address them.” Five steps: 1. “Make college affordable” 2. “Return on investment matters…there must be an undeniable return.” 3. “Re-center higher education on learning rather than political posturing.” 4. “Emphasize equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.” 5. “Testing is important.”

Grateful to receive an offer from @CoachJVerduin to play football at @FB_KnoxCollege. I was also awarded the Provost Scholarship worth $48,000!

@ralphDrussoATH I think preventing a player from entering the opposing team’s sideline to taunt seems like a reasonable boundary, especially after a warning has been given.

Agree with this. Changing a huge game in a violent sport because somebody said something mean seems like being over officious.

Would it be audacious to just come up with a new story

Everyone’s talking about Texas Tech’s portal haul again (and rightfully so). But the Big 12’s best offseason didn’t happen in the portal at all. Here’s how they pulled it off (link in replies)

You're not imagining the spread of vice: nationalaffairs.com/publications/d…

Today's apologists for classic conservatism--free market, limited government & a virtuous citizenry--have not grappled w/ 2 social facts: ✔️ In today's free market, the addiction economy--where companies profit off virtual & real-world vices--is surging. ✔️ This addiction economy is exacting a devastating financial, emotional & social toll on the citizenry. TLDR for classic conservatives: If you're sincere about your commitment to a virtuous citizenry, it's time to recognize that your devotion to the free market and limited government must be reformed in light of today's cultural challenges. Great to see @CharlesFLehman doing just that here:

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time. Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak. The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

BLESSED 🔵
