Every word you speak into someone's life either plants a seed of belief or a seed of doubt. Choose wisely. The people around you are growing in the direction of what you speak over them, make sure it's something beautiful worth harvesting.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

@AuricGoldfnger So true.

Mark Byington: journeyman coach

@StarWalkerDore I’m hoping coaches start to value a bird-in-hand more. Paying Jalen Carey and MJ Collins would have worked out better than taking Mason Nicholson, Frankie Collins, Tyler Harris, and Mike James. In that spirit. I say we take James back. Seems to be a good culture guy w/ upside.

Thinking out loud. Roster potentials Keeps: Tanner AK Bing George Kimble Leverette Takes?: Nicholson (return?) M. James Dean-Vines Portal(5): high level shooters (2), Washington replacement, ball handler/defense, Center if you lose Leverette or Nicholson

@homebrewdan1 @AuricGoldfnger No need to argue this. They totally nailed it. We certainly shouldn’t try to convince anyone otherwise.

@AuricGoldfnger This is how they ended up with Hubert in the first place.

@VandyAD @VU_Chancellor would have been nice

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t congratulate and THANK YOU all for an awesome, fun season @VandyMBB !!!!

Market him relentlessly. Sell tickets now. Penetrate & reclaim a Nashville market that has exploded w/ growth while the program has struggled. Lock up the coaches who made it happen. That is how you rebuild a fanbase & sell tickets. Invest long term. It will payoff 10-20x.

Dear @VU_Chancellor @VandyAD @VU_CoachB @RickRay1 @Coach___X @JonCremins @NashvilleNBI Pay Tyler Tanner whatever it takes. You couldn’t dream up a more marketable player. Local Kid. Star Power. High Character. Make him the face of the program & build everything around him.

@TheRonSlay @ryanschumpert00 @rockytopinsider @Vol_Hoops As a Vandy fan, I enjoyed this era, because given all the Tennessee blood on the team, the Vandy hate was real and palpable when they played.

@ryanschumpert00 @rockytopinsider @Vol_Hoops We've got to be the most forgotten about team that ever played at Tennessee. Made up of majority ALL PLAYERS FROM THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, and it always skips straight to the Pearl era. 9 of 14 from here. Victor from across the street in HopTown. Go get it fellas!! #GoVols

19 years ago, five-seed Tennessee beat four-seed Virginia in the Round of 32 for the first of eight Vol trips to the Sweet 16 in the last two decades, leading the way for @Vol_Hoops' modern success. "Kind of laid the foundation a little bit" rockytopinsider.com/2026/03/22/how…

I continue to see offensive players just shove the heck out of their defender with their off arm and no call. Have the rules changed on that?

The Big Wheel was the single greatest toy in the history of the Earth. Where the heck did it go. What kid wouldn’t love the wild skidding on the Big Wheel?

Blow this team out RIGHT NOW. Do not let this stick around.

@AuricGoldfnger Totally thought we would flip the script and pride ourselves on turning them over. Fight fire with fire. Boy was I off.

We have played right into McNeese's hands.

Chandler Bing hates rims!
