Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

LEGENDARY NOTRE DAME HEAD COACH LOU HOLTZ HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST QUOTES OF ALL TIME. “Your wife is not your best friend. Your dog is. Lock the two in the back of a trunk, come back two hours later and see which one is happy to see you” Rest in peace to a football icon. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Ok but, what reason do you have to think he's going to play the last month of the season just normally? What has Peterson shown you this year to make you think that's going to happen? We've had 3 flus, an ankle sprain, hammy tightness, hammy cramps, and quad cramps in 24 games!
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops

One NBA GM to @TheFieldOf68 about Darryn Peterson: "I think people are overreacting. I don't know if anyone has enough info yet. It's not that big of a deal to me if he can play the last month of the season. We've got guys in the NBA who miss 2 months with a strained hamstring. A lot of guys would have shut him down for the rest of the season already. People have to pump the brakes. People get the flu. People also have to remember this is just a small snapshot of his entire career. I think he's still probably the No. 1 pick, but we'll see."

I had the good fortune to spend nearly 40 years of my life in a profession made up of some of the most skilled and unselfish folks in all of college sports - college sports communicators. Congrats to my colleagues as we #celebrateCSC week!

@JeffBollig He was one of those behind-the-scenes role players who helped shape the history of KU athletics. Humble, caring and devoted Jayhawk, he was extremely important for Jeff and myself as we researched the history of Allen Fieldhouse. A sad day for all KU fans.

A sad day as former State of Kansas architect Warren Corman has passed at age 99. An apprentice architect of Allen Fieldhouse, he was a valuable source for @kdvance24 & me as we researched & wrote the book, Beware of the Phog: 50 Years of Allen Fieldhouse. I will miss his smile.

@JeffBollig @KUAthletics Great suggestion. It comes, by the way, from the guy who first suggested KU's Ring of Fame in the north bowl.

Obviously @KUAthletics hit a home run with the Booth. As history is preserved, would love to see a plaque in north endzone structure commemorating former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden helping to build the original stadium. www2.kusports.com/news/2010/jan/…

Ellen and I celebrate our 39th anniversary today. We met at Kansas when I was a low level asst and she worked in the business office under Art Lingel. She has been the perfect coaches wife for me, and as other coaches wives have said IT ISNT EASY! She has been a great mother to our kids and at times a father too. The princess has been a great wife even when I wasn’t the greatest husband. We have weathered every storm together yet continue to laugh at each other. She works out most days as I do. She watches what she eats (and watches me eat). Most importantly she’s the mother of beloved Palmer (and Erin, Megan, and Brad)!! AND FOR EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS HER ON INSTAGRAM: PLEASE DONT ENCOURAGE HER BECAUSE SHES BEGINNING TO THINK SHES FUNNY!!! Love you Ellie and look forward to tackling the future challenges together as we continue to celebrate the good stuff together. Happy Anniversary!

Tom Gilbert (@tgilbertSID), @kstatesports Director of Men’s Basketball Communications, will be receiving his CSC 25-Year Award this June at #CSCUnite25! "I have been incredibly blessed in my life, not only by my family, but with this wonderful profession. As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to work in sports. I remember my parents got me an electric typewriter one Christmas and I used to write my own stories after watching games. Who would've thought that would turn into what I get to do now? It's amazing..." Read the full feature: collegesportscommunicators.com/news/2025/5/27…
