@801bracketology If Gordon Hayward’s runner from half court had gone down…

@CoachWern Lack of snow.
Lack of cold.
Lack of winter, generally.
What a let down.

I should have shared a few that stuck with me for months after I turned to or listened to the last page. I often go back-and-forth between reading and listening. All these have great audio readers:
(This isn’t fiction but it’s one I just finished. It’s enormous but fantastic.) The Demon of Unrest by Larson on the Civil War
Project Hail Mary (I’m embarrassed by how much I loved this and how hard it was to find something that held my interest immediately afterward. This one has to be done audio.)
The Covenant of Water
The Dutch House
The Round House
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
The Lion Women of Tehran
(Of course) I know why the caged bird sings
In this house of Brede (This is the only one I’m not sure was on audio.)
The Chosen (but it messes me up for a while)
(Needless to say) The Bluest Eye
I ought not have to say peace like a river. If you read this one and did not like it, please don’t tell me or it will change the way I feel about you.
There are others but I’ve run out of time!

@CitiusMag The tactics on the rail for all of the US’s middle distance men have really been our undoing at this meet.

Tough semi for the Americans 😢
Donavan Brazier’s comeback season comes to a close and Olympic 4th placed Bryce Hoppel won’t have a shot at the podium in Tokyo, as both Americans fail to advance to the #WorldAthleticsChamps 800m final.
Brazier missed by one spot and 0.02 seconds, running 1:43.80.

@samuelLgriffin Yes. Haha. I only do it to get the exact reaction that those guys and you are giving. That’s it. That’s the whole deal.
Dumb. Petty. But also at least a little bit funny. 🤷🏼♂️

@preet_athletics @stevemagness // I think you’ll enjoy this extended answer about AUS high jumper Nicola Olyslagers’ notebook and processes during competitions. Have heard you talk about it before, but this was very interesting to hear straight from her after today’s DL final victory.

Nicola Olyslagers reveals what is in her notebook that she writes in every meet after her 2. 04m Australian record to win the Diamond League Final! Full interview here

@The_Coach_A It doesn’t make any sense and I’m rooting for it to happen every week. 😅

@JaysFootball Only four teams getting that privilege!! Excited for you all.
English

@lukedsimmons Absolutely. Some incredible memories and experiences that I’m blessed to have gotten to experience.
But I guess the real news here is that it makes us like tier three rivals or something for only one sport on basically just one day in December each year.

@TimFritson I played baseball (third base) at University of Illinois. Grateful for those experiences, relationships, and lessons.

In night 2, the family took a deep dive in on NIL, conference realignment, Title IX, and more about the transfer portal.
Some real fireworks! 🎆😊

Enjoying a week with extended family where seven of us were D1 athletes. My 18 year-old daughter (not an athlete): “At most family gatherings, you can’t bring up politics or religion. At ours, you can’t bring up the transfer portal.” 😆😆😆
