Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin found his peace not in a good game, a big hit, or a strong performance. He found it in knowing who he is and why he is here. "If there were tough games, that's where I found my peace. Knowing that I feel like I'm called to play baseball, but at the end of the day, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is living my life to share the word, share the gospel, and live in eternity in heaven. And that just brought such peace to me through the times of adversity." That is a young man who has already figured out something most athletes never do. The game is not the foundation. The game is the platform. And when the game gets hard, the foundation is the only thing that holds. Griffin also said something that cuts straight to the identity question every believer wrestles with. "It helped me kind of separate my identity from being a baseball player to being a Christian and a believer, trying to share the word." That separation is everything. When your identity is in your performance, a tough game shakes you to the core. When your identity is in Christ, a tough game is just a tough game. It does not define you. It does not diminish you. It cannot take anything from you that actually matters. Griffin is not waiting until he makes it to the big leagues to share his faith. He is sharing it now, in the minors, in the middle of the grind, in the tough games where most young players are just trying to survive. That is exactly where the gospel is most powerful. Not on the highlight reel. In the hard days. "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Philippians 4:11). Have you separated your identity from what you do and anchored it in who Jesus says you are? This is what it looks like when a young athlete gets the order right before the pressure hits. Konnor Griffin is a minor league prospect grinding through tough games, and instead of finding his peace in his stats, he found it in knowing he is called to share the gospel. Baseball is the platform. Jesus is the foundation. Pray for Konnor Griffin as he continues to develop and pray that more young athletes anchor their identity in Christ before the pressure of the game tries to define them.

Late in the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship, Villanova blew a 10-point lead. With 4.7 seconds left, UNC hit a 3-pointer to tie the game. Villanova's head coach, Jay Wright, called a timeout, and as his players walked to the huddle, they were all saying the same word: โ€œAttitude.โ€ โ€œIt's the most important aspect of our program,โ€ Coach Wright explains in his book titled, Attitude. โ€œWe wear 'Attitude' wristbands. And when we break a huddle, we say '1, 2, 3, Attitude.'โ€ The test of Attitude, Wright taught his players, is: โ€œWhere is your mindset after something bad happens to you?โ€ Where is your mindset after you blow a 10-point lead? Where is your mindset after your opponent hits a 3 to tie the game with 4.7 seconds left? โ€œWhen I looked into the eyes of our players,โ€ Wright writes, โ€œI saw no anger or regret. No one bemoaned [the UNC player's] 'lucky shot,' or that any of our guys had failed to stop him from grabbing the pass that led to that shot, or anything else.โ€ Instead, โ€œthey were all saying, 'Attitude. Attitude. This is what we do. Attitude. This is what we do.'โ€ With this mindset, the players returned to the court. Villanova's Kris Jenkins inbounded the ball to Ryan "Arch" Arcidiacono. Arch dribbled up the left side of the court, crossed half court, cut right towards the 3-point arc, where he underhanded a pass to Jenkins, who caught the ball with 1.3 seconds left, and, in perfect rhythm, jumped then released the ball with 0.6 seconds, and hit a buzzer-beater to win the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Takeaway 1: A primary indicator of physical fitness is recovery time. If you are doing all-out sprint intervals, for instanceโ€”people who are physically fit recover from one interval to the next faster than those who are not physically fit. โ€œSo then, what is mental fitness?โ€ the mental performance coach Greg Harden likes to ask. โ€œMental fitness is about recovery time,โ€ Harden says. It's about, as Coach Wright said, where your mindset is after something bad happens to you. After something bad happens, people who are mentally fit recover faster than those who are not. Takeaway 2: Just after Kris Jenkins hit the buzzer-beater, Coach Wright famously barely reacted. Before his guys went back on the court, he explained, โ€œI processed all the potential scenarios.โ€ Most likely, the game was going to go to overtime where UNC would ride their wave of momentum and win the game. โ€œNo matter the outcome,โ€ Wright continued, โ€œbecause of the way our players responded after UNC tied the game ["Attitude. Attitude. This is what we do."]โ€”I felt like they had the greatest lesson in life. I felt like that was an accomplishment that would follow them through their lives.โ€ Ryan Holiday once told me, โ€œYou have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.โ€ Wright got to that place. He had done the work to instill in his players a mindset, he said, โ€œthat they would carry with them for the remainder of their days on earth.โ€ โ€œIn that sense, I knew we had already won.โ€ Everything else was extra. - - - โ€œThe fact is, none of us control what happens to us in lifeโ€”but we do control our responses to those circumstances...no matter how tough it gets or how much of a challenge you face in the final 4.7 seconds of a game.โ€ โ€” Jay Wright Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

I watched every SEC Football Media Day press conference so you donโ€™t have to. Hereโ€™s the best answer from every head coach: -- LSU Coach Lane Kiffin on why personal growth often comes from subtracting, not constantly adding: โ€œIf you really want to keep growing, a lot of people add things as they go versus subtracting things that are issues.โ€ โ€œOnce you remove something from your life, you start to realize how many other people are addicted to it or need it.โ€ โ€œTo be free of that has been interesting because you donโ€™t compare.โ€ โ€œSocial mediaโ€ฆ makes you compare your job, the city you live in, your vacation, your kids, your clothes, your car, your significant other.โ€ โ€œWhen you donโ€™t see that all day, youโ€™re free of that comparison.โ€ โ€œItโ€™s been a way of being more present.โ€ โ€” Georgia Coach Kirby Smart explains how leaders should operate when their industry is changing rapidly: โ€œWhat wins football games has not changed. Each coach has to decide within their own program what they want to major in.โ€ Youโ€™ve got to be able to wear multiple hats. But youโ€™ve got to choose which hats you want to wear the best.โ€ โ€œIโ€™m not afraid to change what we need to change to be successful. I donโ€™t have an ego that says you have to do it my way. I want to hear how you want to do it, and letโ€™s find the best way.โ€ โ€” Oklahoma Coach Brent Venables on the player who asked for more money before he had earned a role, and how he responded: โ€œWhy donโ€™t you worry about playing first before we worry about incentives?โ€ โ€” Kentucky Coach Will Stein on why he believes Kentucky can overcome its history and win at a championship level: โ€œI think because of me, to be honest.โ€ โ€œI know what it takes. Iโ€™ve seen it at the highest levels. Youโ€™ve just got to believe. Youโ€™ve just got to put the ball down and play.โ€ โ€œThe best determination of whether what youโ€™re doing is working is putting the ball down and playing football.โ€ โ€œThere are going to be bumps in the road. Iโ€™m prepared for tough moments and tough times. I already do self-talk with myself: โ€˜How can I stay neutral when stuffโ€™s bad?โ€™โ€ โ€œYouโ€™ve got to go attack. You canโ€™t sit back and wait.Thatโ€™s one thing I refuse to do at Kentuckyโ€”wait.โ€ โ€” Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz explains what Ahmad Hardyโ€™s recovery taught him about the real purpose of coaching: โ€œThere was that moment where he realized he was mortal. Iโ€™ve been very proud of the way heโ€™s approached his recovery and his rehab. His number one responsibility is to be a father, and then after that, to continue to be a great teammate.โ€ โ€œThatโ€™s exactly what coaching is all about. Itโ€™s about taking young men on a journey from 18 to maturityโ€”and itโ€™s a lifelong process.โ€ โ€œRegardless of how much the business changes or is disrupted, itโ€™s still about helping players achieve their dreams.โ€ โ€œWhen Ahmad scores his first touchdown this year, Iโ€™ll be thinking about that journey from hospital bed to end zone.โ€ โ€” South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer takes complete ownership of South Carolinaโ€™s disappointing season and explains how adversity revealed the strength of the programโ€™s culture: โ€œThere was no ceiling on the football program at South Carolina, and nothing has changed. We fell woefully short, and thatโ€™s on me. We donโ€™t seek comfort from how close we were.โ€ โ€” Vanderbilt Coach Clark Lea on Vanderbiltโ€™s disastrous 2023 season and explains how it became the turning point that eventually led to a 10-win season: โ€œThatโ€™s called getting your ass kicked.โ€ โ€œIt may have been the most important thing thatโ€™s ever happened to me as a head coach and to the program.โ€ โ€œThe vision never left us.โ€ โ€œIn 15 years, when I look back on this moment, what am I learning right nowโ€”not what am I feeling right now?โ€ โ€” Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel explains how to develop an inexperienced quarterback without coaching away what makes him special: โ€œThe players have to go learn it, earn it, and compete for it every single day.โ€ โ€œEach one of them is a little bit different. Theyโ€™re the artist. Youโ€™ve got to hand them the paintbrush and let them go paint it.โ€ โ€” Florida Coach John Sumrall explains the attitude he wants to establish at Florida: โ€œI may have some bad moments. I donโ€™t have bad days.โ€ โ€œAttitude is demeanor, drive and desire. Demeanor is your body language. Your drive and desire is the mindset that youโ€™ve never arrived, you can always get better.โ€ โ€” Texas A&M Coach Mike Elko on how he prevents complacency after a playoff appearance: โ€œI show them our trophy case, and itโ€™s empty.โ€ โ€” Ole Miss Coach Pete Golding explains how he defines an elite program beyond wins and football performance: โ€œElite programs arenโ€™t designed for when theyโ€™ve got cleats on. Elite programs are designed for when they take them cleats off.โ€ โ€œAre they a better dude? Are they a better husband? Are they a better father?โ€ โ€” Auburn Coach Alex Golesh explains where real confidence comes from: โ€œReal confidence, not fake confidence, but real, authentic, genuine confidence, comes from elite-level process day in and day out.โ€ โ€” Arkansas Coach Ryan Silverfield explains why rebuilding Arkansas required examining every detail: โ€œThe night I got thereโ€ฆ I said, โ€˜We need to fix the light bulbs.โ€™ How you do anything is how you do everything.โ€ โ€œPeople now are starting to catch on: this is how we need to do this. We need to be better here. We need to support this more.โ€ โ€” Mississippi State Coach Jeff Lebby explains why the next step for a talented young quarterback is not always making more playsโ€”it is learning which plays not to make: โ€œI donโ€™t necessarily put a ceiling on K1. The way he goes about his business on the day-to-day to prepare himself to have success between the white linesโ€”itโ€™s elite.โ€ โ€” Alabama Coach Kalen DeBoer explains why reputation, returning talent and last yearโ€™s progress mean nothing until the new team proves it again: โ€œThatโ€™s okay, because weโ€™ve got to go prove it. It doesnโ€™t matter how many guys you return.โ€ โ€œUntil we prove it, we understand thereโ€™s going to be doubt.โ€ โ€” Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian explains how Arch Manning handled being hyped by outsiders, blamed when their predictions failed, and refused to respond publicly: โ€œArch Manning wasnโ€™t on social media or television saying, โ€˜Iโ€™m going to be the first pick of the draft.โ€™ All he did was work really hard.โ€ โ€œThen those same people wanted to criticize and demean him almost for letting them down because he didnโ€™t live up to what they thought he was going to be.โ€ โ€œWhat he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes.โ€ โ€œAll he did was stay consistent and true to who he was. He didnโ€™t go back on social media and say, โ€˜I told you so.โ€™โ€ โ€œI think right now heโ€™s a very dangerous player because he learned a lot from last season.โ€

BARTHTANRAK HEARTS DESIRE #TicketToHeavenEP3 After rewatching this specific scene, I just need to scream about how incredibly gentle, nuanced, and soft their dynamic is? First of all, can we talk about how Tanrak is honestly so easy to coax? The second Barth tells him that he is asking because he genuinely cares about how he feels, Tanrakโ€™s entire demeanor softens. You can literally see the tension leave his body just knowing that his feelings carry weight with Barth. But it got me thinking about the exact nature of the jealousy here. I was initially torn between two theories about what Barth is actually thinking: 1. Barth knows Tanrak is jealous of him being close to Cherry because heโ€™s aware Tanrak has special feelings for him. 2. Barth thinks Tanrak likes Cherry, and assumes Tanrak is jealous because Cherry is getting close to Barth instead. Honestly, both make sense on the surface, but when you look at the flow of the conversation, Reason 1 absolutely takes the win. When Barth sits up and says, "I'm asking you because if you don't want me to do it, I won't," he is putting all the power into Tanrakโ€™s hands. If Barth thought Tanrak just liked Cherry, he would probably back off to let Tanrak pursue her. Instead, Barth directly centers the decision around Tanrak's comfort level with him. He is essentially saying, "Your comfort matters more to me than this play." He knows exactly who Tanrak is actually looking at. At the same time, instead of forcing Tanrak to explain why heโ€™s so bothered or demanding a confession he clearly isn't ready to give, Barth just meets Tanrak right where he is. He doesn't press him for answers; he just gives him the exact reassurance and physical comfort he needs to stop overthinking. And then... the ending of this scene. Oh my god. ๐Ÿ˜ญ The whole "lying flat" sequence where Tanrak tries to hide his face and says, "this is how normal looks like," followed by Barthโ€™s gentle insistence to just look at him? And that nose touch?! It was absolutely devastating. Itโ€™s such a classic, intimate gesture of pure fondness and comfort. Itโ€™s Barthโ€™s silent way of saying, "I see right through you, and Iโ€™ve got you." Beyond the writing, we absolutely have to praise the actors because their acting here is a masterclass in subtlety. Fourth does an incredible job with his micro-expressions. The way he initially avoids eye contact, staring blankly upward to shield himself, shows a boy trying desperately to lock his feelings away. But the moment Barth starts coaxing him, you can see the exact shift in his eyesโ€”the way his guard completely drops, melting into pure vulnerability. He portrays that quiet longing and internal conflict so beautifully without needing loud dialogue. And Gemini is just phenomenal at shifting the tone. He anchors the entire scene with his grounding presence. The way he delivers his lines with that low, soft, conversational whisper makes the moment feel so entirely private and sacred. He plays Barth with this effortless emotional maturityโ€”the gentle tilt of his head, the warm, knowing smile, and the absolute tenderness in his hand movement as he reaches for Tanrakโ€™s nose. GeminiFourth have this natural, unforced rhythm together where they aren't just reading lines; they are completely reacting to each other's energy. Itโ€™s their acting that takes a simple conversation on a bunk bed and turns it into something that feels so deeply intimate and real. Their interactions are just so incredibly gentle and tender. There is absolutely nothing "bro-bro" about the way they look at each other. They are completely rewriting the rules of their dynamic right here, and I am not surviving it! ๐Ÿซ โœจ #.GeminiFourth #.เน€เธˆเธกเธตเน„เธ™เธ™เนŒเน‚เธŸเธฃเนŒเธ— #.Gemini_NT #.Fourthnattawat

โ€ก The Pacific Classic Result It was unfortunate that Nysos was scratched, but the result was interesting, with Fierceness, the 1.6/1 second-favorite, comfortably handling Journalism, the (overbet) 2/5 choice. That the odds of the remaining five runners ranged between 22/1 and 72/1, underscored the yawning gap in quality between the top pair and the rest. So it was clearly no surprise that the "also-rans" toiled in their wake. What was surprising, at least at first glance, was how well Fierceness appeared to handle less than ideal conditions. But on closer inspection, his trip was actually far less challenging than the vast majority of post-race takes have suggested. His having ducked in soon after the start, almost making contact with the temporary extension rail, could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, and its importance has arguably been overblown. I say that because it was not similar to the trouble that he had encountered early in some of his previous races, in that he was in his own space, and was neither bumped, constricted, nor otherwise intimidated by other runners. This is an important distinction, because the mental weakness that he had previously displayed was related to close encounters with other horses, and his ducking-in after the break did not fall into that category. Inexperienced horses may suffer from that type of self-inflicted event, but given a mature, experienced runner, they are almost always forgotten quickly, which was clearly the case here. The fact that it was a long race also helped to mitigate the event, as there was no need for the rider to panic, or feel pressure to make up ground immediately. It is even possible that the early ground loss actually helped Fierceness, as had he been drawn closer to the pace early, it could have rendered him vulnerable in the late stages of the race. At the same time, due to the inside post, and how the race unfolded, Johnny Velasquez, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Fierceness outside and clear of his rivals in his previous wins, was forced to make the best of racing inside of horses. I understand why some are tempted to argue that Fierceness displayed a new dimension, as there were no obvious signs of him having been intimidated, despite the inside trip. But while I am willing to consider the possibility that he has gained confidence, I remain skeptical of any significant change, in part because it would be highly unusual for a horse to overcome that type of mental weakness midway through its four-year-old season, and/or in its 13th start. I also remain unconvinced for more subtle reasons. First, Fierceness was never bounced around, and with the possible exception of the first turn, he was never forced to race in especially tight quarters. Secondly, the rhythm of the race, after the initial duck-in, was actually smooth, and therefore beneficial to him. To understand why the above points are important, consider that Fierceness was never, so to speak, allergic to racing inside, but was more likely to face contact, be squeezed into a tight space, or have his rhythm thrown off when breaking from an inside post. In contrast, when breaking from an outside post, JV has invariably been able to place him clear of the pack, and in a comfortable, stalking rhythm. Fierceness is also essentially a free-runner, with a "light" mouth, and as such performs best when his rider allows him to dictate his own rhythm and pace. That is why, for example, Johnny V was not at all responsible for his loss in the Breeders' Cup Classic, as he is not the type of horse that a rider can take a strong hold of in order to restrain him further off of the pace, as that would discourage him. And to the great credit of both JV and Todd Pletcher, they picked up on this early on, and have done a superb job mitigating the colt's limitations, and maximizing his potential. In the Pacific Classic, despite racing on the inside, Johnny V remained cool and calm, and gave Fierceness another masterful ride. He and the colt's connections did benefit though, as none of his rivals, either intentionally or not, tightened things up significantly, or otherwise disrupted his rhythm. In fact, quite the opposite. Having tracked comfortably through much of the race, and with space around him, Fierceness displayed his trademark spurt on the final turn. And while the pan shot may suggest that he slipped though a tight opening, it was more like the red sea parting, as the embedded head-on view illustrates. If you are able to view the full head-on replay, you will find that despite racing inside, Fierceness actually enjoyed quite a comfortable trip, after the eventful few strides. A more subtle indication that we were watching the same horse as in his previous races comes :12-14 seconds into the embedded clip. When he was about to take the lead, he cocked his head to the right, as if he may have been worried about the horse outside of him. He was able to draw away from that one so quickly that it was ultimately of no practical consequence, but I would say that it implies that he hasn't suddenly developed the heart of a lion. *** Two qualities that have been crucial to Fierceness' success are his tactical speed, coupled with the separation that he produces on the final turn of his (two-turn) races. His ability to take command at that crucial stage has served him very well, particularly in his narrow win over Thorpedo Anna, and it was again on display in the Pacific Classic. A big part of the reason why that move has been such an important part of his arsenal is that it typically allows his him to take a "breather", before digging deep in an effort to fend off any late dangers. I encourage you to watch the (pan) replay of the Pacific Classic, and focus on Johnny V from around the 3/8th pole to the head of the stretch, as he was sitting like the proverbial statue. So for at least a furlong and a half, Fierceness was on cruise control, while Journalism, his only danger, was under pressure to make up ground, in an attempt to simply reach striking distance. But with all due credit to Fierceness and his rider for having produced fine efforts in the Pacific Classic, was this really an exceptionally outstanding performance, or was it at least partly a reflection of his only serious rival failing to run his best? I'm inclined to argue the latter. Despite Journalism having produced an unusually good 3yo campaign, capped by three Gr. I wins, including a Classic success in the Preakness, and never finishing worse than second, there have been some lingering questions. One of them is whether he is actually as well-suited to 10f. as he is to 8-9f. races. Yes, he was beaten in his two previous tries over 10f. by Sovereignty, a better horse. But in each race he was able to gain first-run on that one, an advantage that is typically difficult to overcome, yet lost ground late to the winner both times, and to Baeza as well, in the KY Derby. Some have suggested that he may have a tendency to loaf when in front, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of that. And such horses typically dig in when passed, in efforts to re-engage, which we haven't seen, at least overtly, from Journalism. He also drew away from his rivals late in his first three wins. Alex Evers made this interesting comment about the kickback in the Pacific Classic: "I've photographed racing for 20 years, I've never seen kick back knock a jockeys goggles off like this." Here is a link to his supporting photos, which are typically excellent: Could that have discouraged Journalism? I suppose that it could have been an impediment, but he is such a tough and honest horse, that I would be surprised to learn that it was a meaningful factor. By contemporary standards, Journalism has also had a busy campaign, having raced a touch over once per month since March, all but one of which in Grade I events, and four times well away from his home base. So it is possible that he is beginning to feel the effects of those races, and travels. I have also noted that from a Beyer figure standpoint, he hasn't really moved forward, and it's worth noting that in contrast to Sovereignty and Baeza, both of which were late (May) foals, Journalism was a February foal, and may not have had quite as much room to improve. I don't know why he lagged so far behind in the early stages of the Pacific Classic, or if there was any tactical intention behind it. I had previously suggested that it might make sense to ride him more patiently, a tactic that is sometimes adopted when there are questions about a horse staying a trip. But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC โ€“ :45 1/5 โ€ข :51 3/5 PC โ€“ :46 1/5 โ€ข :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

COACHES ONLY: THIS IS WHY COACHING EXPERIENCE MATTERS This post is primarily for coaches. Before I get into my own analysis, I want to give Venom Reacts (VENOM ๐Ÿ˜ˆ) full credit for the film breakdown that prompted this post. He did an excellent job slowing the possession down, identifying where the defensive action actually breaks, and explaining why the final matchup at the rim does not tell the whole story. If you have not watched his video yet, watch it first. His explanation is worth your time. What I want to add is another coaching perspective. If you have spent years completing USA Basketball education, PGC training, NABC development, certification requirements, clinics, continuing education, film study and the thousand other things serious coaches do to become better teachers of the game, watch this possession and tell me what you see. Because I see a coaching problem. Mercedes Russell navigates the low-post screen incorrectly. She goes over it when the coverage requires her to get underneath. That single mistake changes the geometry of the possession and leaves Caitlin Clark forced into an emergency switch against a center at the rim. By then, the defense is already compromised. Clark did not create the mismatch. She inherited it. Could Clark have handled the emergency differently? Coaches can debate that. Maybe there is a late communication, front, dig, foul or emergency rotation January wanted. But none of those possibilities change the first breakdown. Russell loses the coverage. Clark is left trying to survive it. Then watch the timeout. Briann January appears to direct an extremely animated correction toward Clark. Clark clearly disagrees. Stephanie White stands between them and allows the exchange to continue. Now forget personalities for a moment and evaluate this strictly as coaches. What are we trying to accomplish during that timeout? Indiana is protecting a double-digit lead with roughly four minutes remaining. Clark is having a career-level night. This is closing time. My timeout priorities are clock, score, personnel, foul situation, remaining timeouts, offensive organization, defensive coverage, anticipated counters and making absolutely certain my five players leave that huddle composed and connected. The previous possession gets corrected only to the extent necessary to prevent it from happening again: Mercedes, get under it. Caitlin, stay home unless she gets caught. Communicate it. Next play. That takes seconds. Everything else belongs in film. And even if Clark had been completely responsible for the breakdown... I don't believe she was... I still cannot understand using precious late-game timeout bandwidth to publicly unload on a player who is carrying your offense and playing one of the best games of her season. Experienced coaches understand the difference between correction and emotional discharge. We also understand the difference between being a great defender and teaching great team defense. Briann January was an outstanding individual defensive player. Seven All-Defensive selections deserve respect. But playing credentials are not coaching credentials. Her publicly documented coaching rรฉsumรฉ remains remarkably thin for the responsibility she now carries: brief college assistant experience while still playing, a long gap, two seasons under Stephanie White in Connecticut, one G League season, and back to White in Indiana. No head-coaching experience. No associate head-coaching experience. No independently established defensive program. And I have found no publicly documented USA Basketball, PGC, NABC or comparable formal coaching credential attached to her rรฉsumรฉ. That does not prove she has never completed additional training. It does raise a fair question experienced coaches will immediately understand: Where was the apprenticeship that taught the transition from elite individual defender to elite teacher of five-player defense? Because those are very different jobs. A great defender can solve problems with athleticism, anticipation, toughness and individual technique. A defensive coach has to diagnose the first breakdown, establish five-player rules, teach screen navigation, define switch triggers, organize help behind the action and communicate corrections in a way players can immediately execute. That is why this possession bothers me. It is not because a coach raised her voice. It is because the film appears to show the coach directing the most intense correction at the player who was cleaning up somebody else's mistake. Coaches: watch the play, not the personalities. Then watch the timeout. I would genuinely like to know what you see. X Video analysis credit: VENOM ๐Ÿ˜ˆ YouTube: @VenomReacts3

Coach Morris is a straight shooter, no question, and so let's follow that lead. So, we mentioned in the pregame yesterday that if yesterday did not have a good presentation, all of the OSU fans who feel jaded with what happened to Coach Gundy would come out in force. And that has happened. Here's the deal! He's not our coach anymore. There's no need to get back into the weeds of that situation on social media, but if you want a lengthy segment on why things had to happen, check out my postgame reactions on YouTube. So, if you're one of those people, here's my question for you... What do we do now? Think of it as an umpire and a manager arguing. When does it stop and everyone move on to the next play? You can't argue for the rest of eternity, and there comes a point where, even if you're right, you're doing more harm than good. So, again, are you going to continue to be a fan, or are you going to take your ball and go home after one game in a new era with 92 new players? As per Coach Morris, it was a terrible debut, and there's just no other way to put it. There was nothing about yesterday that will motivate OSU fans to be excited about this new brand, or Coach Morris in particular. And that's disappointing because he's a terrific coach. I still believe he's 1000% the right guy for OSU, and he's going to get this program turned around. But that's only if we let him, which means not jumping off a cliff after one game. It's okay to be so blown up right now that you can't see straight. That just means you care! But don't take it past that. Leave the "let's fire a guy after one game" out of the equation. It's crazy talk, and it's based on emotion, not sound analysis. And it does OSU absolutely NO good! But back to the game. We played slow, we were lethargic, we looked disinterested, and anything but confident. And the play calling, IMO, was in a "phone booth" way more than I thought we'd see. We didn't stretch the field much, and we didn't throw to our tight end in the middle of the field like I hoped we'd see return to an OSU offense. We didn't hit receivers in position to get yards after the catch, specifically with them moving vertically so they can have a head of steam, and we threw sideways way too much. We didn't block, and our RBs didn't bust their own holes. Mestemaker either held on to the ball too long, dumped it too fast, threw off the back foot, or heaved up late balls across his body while scrambling against drop-8 coverage. Our defensive performance in the 1st half was probably the only somewhat of a silver lining. But it too gave up over 100 yards rushing in the 2nd half to a team that won 4 games last year with a G6 schedule. They also gave up over 6.4 yards per play, while we averaged only 4.3. So I can't count that as an overall silver lining either. We turned the ball over 3 times, didn't win a 50/50 ball right before the half in man coverage, and then had a stupid penalty from one of my favorite players that gave them a 2nd chance to punch in a touchdown, which they did. We needed momentum, and special teams could have been an area where we could have gained some, but we didn't do anything there either. This was a disaster ALL the way around! There's just no other way to analyze this. But it's one game, just the 1st game of an Era that I still believe is going to be successful. And, to make sure we're ALL accountable, I have over-hyped this offense and didn't see any way that Tulsa would stop us. That's on me... My bad! I eat that the same way Drew will eat his performance, or Coach Morris, or anyone else. This team can still end up being what he hoped it would, but obviously the timeline has changed. So, now we have to transition into a "growth" mindset, which, TBH, is disappointing when you pay the QB $3.5 million dollars. But it is what it is! See ya' next week at Boone Pickens!

Trump Supporters Are Pathetic Cucks, And Other Notes The middle east continues to burn under the administration of the self-proclaimed โ€œPresident of Peaceโ€. Donald Trump says heโ€™s โ€œreinstatingโ€ the US blockade on Iranian ports after reportedly green lighting Saudi Arabia to reignite its war on Yemen. Trump and his handlers built a whole political platform out of โ€œno more endless warsโ€ and then immediately changed the Defense Department to the Department of War and started launching never ending wars. Being a Trump supporter in 2026 is like staying best friends with a man who stole your wife. Heโ€™s deceived and betrayed you at every turn and youโ€™re still swinging from his nuts? Thatโ€™s cucky, humiliating behavior. He promised to end the wars, and instead he started a new war. He promised the Iran war would be over in a few weeks, and months later it shows no sign of stopping. He promised to put America first, and instead heโ€™s putting Israel first. He promised to cut government waste, and heโ€™s pouring unfathomable amounts of treasure into the military-industrial complex. He promised to drain the swamp, and he became the single most corrupt president in US history. He promised to fight the deep state, and went on to promote the longstanding agendas of the most evil people in Washington and Langley which even his terrible predecessors had resisted. These are all objective, indisputable facts. If you disagree with any of them, itโ€™s because youโ€™re performing ridiculous mental contortions to justify your groveling support for a man who has betrayed you. Itโ€™s so self-debasing. Get up off the floor, pull your tongue back into your head, and have some fucking dignity. โ– Congressman Randy Fine has been tweeting about how heartbroken he is to lose Lindsey Graham. It really is amazing how all the absolute worst people on earth are grieving this man. Like literally every single one of them. The list of Graham's mourners is a who's who of genocidal psychopaths. โ– Everyone currently saying โ€œI disagreed with Lindsey Graham on many things, butโ€ is telling you they didnโ€™t actually disagree with Lindsey Graham all that much. โ€œI disliked his politics, but โ€” โ€œ You liked his politics a lot more than I did, thatโ€™s for damn sure. Thatโ€™s why you are sad that he is dead while I am happy. If youโ€™re in any way sad that a 71 year-old warmongering psychopath died, itโ€™s because you didnโ€™t care about his victims. You didnโ€™t care about the populations he was constantly pushing to incinerate with high-tech war machinery. If you did, you wouldnโ€™t feel inclined to mourn the passing of their abuser. If youโ€™re expressing condolences for Lindsey Grahamโ€™s death, youโ€™re saying you care more about looking like a kind and caring person than you care about actually being one. โ– Whenever I read a new report about Israeli prison abuses, I think about how horrifying it would be to be a Palestinian captured alive by the IDF. You know theyโ€™re going to torture you. You know theyโ€™re going to rape you. Probably over and over again, for months. If youโ€™re a devout Muslim, killing yourself is off the table. You just have to sit there knowing youโ€™re going to be plunged into hell on earth. โ– When an apartheid state does evil things I will criticize it. Tell me Iโ€™m not allowed to criticize the apartheid state and Iโ€™ll criticize it even more. Use government power to stomp out criticism of the apartheid state and Iโ€™ll make criticism of the apartheid state my full-time job. โ– Liberal Zionists tell me, โ€œMost Israelis disapprove of Netanyahu!โ€ I tell them, nobody gives a fuck. No one cares which apartheid political party Israelis prefer. Nobody cares which genocidal political leader theyโ€™d rather have as their prime minister. Every Israeli faction is evil and is supported by evil people. โ– Itโ€™s funny how they call it โ€œgenerative artificial intelligenceโ€ when it neither generates anything nor exhibits intelligence. It just copies the stuff humans said and did. It doesnโ€™t come up with its own ideas. It shows no signs of insight, understanding or creativity. They keep needing to feed it human-generated material in order to improve it because itโ€™s incapable of generating its own material. We havenโ€™t created artificial intelligence, weโ€™ve created a toy that regurgitates our own intelligence back at us. โ– Reading by Tim Foley:

Liam Coen says leaving Sean McVay and the Rams for Kentucky is the biggest regret of his career because he chased money, made an ego decision, and realized he walked away when things got hard โ€œMy first year, we went to the Super Bowl and lost to the Patriots, and Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Oh, this is easy.โ€™ I thought Super Bowls were just easy. Then I leave, and they win the Super Bowl.โ€ โ€œSean calls me and heโ€™s like, โ€˜Hey, Kevin Oโ€™Connell is going to get the Vikings job. Iโ€™d love for you to come back as the OC.โ€™ I was just an assistant position coach there. I was the assistant quarterbacks coach. So that was another honor of a lifetime. Iโ€™m like, โ€˜I canโ€™t pass that up.โ€™โ€ โ€œThen it ends up being our hardest year and the most challenging year. We won five games. Kentucky called back, and we had just loved it there. It was beautiful. It was amazing. We had our first child there.โ€ โ€œI kind of chased some money a little bit, and also it was an ego decision. I wasnโ€™t calling plays in L.A. I knew what I was getting into, but I did miss that. Not just calling plays, but leading, leading your way.โ€ โ€œThat was my biggest regret, going back to Kentucky in โ€™23. I hadnโ€™t lost a lot in my career. I didnโ€™t have a ton of losing seasons. I thought it was a great opportunity to stick something out with a friend and an organization that gave you your first opportunity.โ€ โ€œI walked away from it when it was hard and went to a familiar place where I had success. When I got back that spring, yeah, I had some regret. I didnโ€™t feel great about myself or the decision I made.โ€ โ€œAt the end of the day, I probably wouldnโ€™t have gotten Tampa if I hadnโ€™t gone there, so it did work out in the end. But it was my biggest regret of moves in my career.โ€ โ€œWe talk about momentum a lot as a team. You can feel that. You can feel momentum. You know when you got it and you know when you donโ€™t. I feed off that as a coach and I feed off the playerโ€™s energy on the grass and when they have confidence and momentum I want to roll with it, I want to keep it.โ€ โ€œWhen you have it you wanna stomp on it, you want to make them feel it.. Thatโ€™s where the aggression comes in, you want to hold onto that and put your foot on the pedal. And as you grow as a coach there are times where you might be like, โ€˜Alright, may need to kick here. Itโ€™s going to be one of those kind of games.โ€™โ€ โ€œSo you have to be prepared, know your gut, go with your gut, feel this, all thatโ€™s going on around you, and make the best educated decision.โ€

During a 2 hour GTA 6 demo MikeShowSha encountered a random event that Rockstarโ€™s team said had never happened during months of testing. 2 masked women had botched a jewelry store robbery and become trapped inside while the alarm blared. Mike and Rob let them out, then robbed the store themselves! That was only one of the details he revealed: - Calling your personal car doesnโ€™t simply spawn it nearby. An NPC physically delivers it, gets out and rides away on an electric scooter. Rob Nelson noticed Jason didnโ€™t thank the driver and immediately told the development team to fix the interaction. - Mike encountered two injured robbers who had crashed into a pole, leaving stolen cash scattered across the road. Jason and Lucia took the money, but the bills were marked and had to be laundered at a shop. - People appearing in the in-game social media feed can sometimes be found performing the same stunts around Leonida. - Police can record your face, clothing, weapon and vehicle description. Changing clothes, hiding your weapon, repainting your car or switching vehicles can help break that description. - Security cameras can identify Jason and Lucia during an unplanned robbery. - Police are no longer constantly marked on the minimap. Focus mode can reveal nearby officers, interactive doors, explosives and enemy weak points. - Rob said escaping a six-star wanted level is extraordinarily difficult because the police continue hunting relentlessly. - Shooting police car tires produces completely dynamic crashes. Mike watched it happen several times and the pursuing vehicles reacted differently each time. - Avoiding unnecessary casualties can improve your Criminal Profile by treating the escape as more professional. - The Criminal Profile does not award special powers for being โ€œgoodโ€ or โ€œbad.โ€ It reflects what kind of criminal each character is becoming. - Character movement appeared noticeably smoother than RDR2 and sprinting no longer requires repeatedly tapping a face button. - Eating too much can make Jason and Lucia gain weight.

The secret recordings: Texas Tech's senior official admits that they lied about me in the official documentation leading up to my medical school dismissal For months after I began writing about how wrong the medical and scientific communities had gotten the COVID-19 response, senior Texas Tech administrators had been engaged in a flurry of internal activity about my public speech. They did not debate my views. They only discussed what to do about the attention. My right to free speech is protected under the United States Constitution. Texas Tech is a taxpayer-funded agency that must guarantee its students First Amendment rights. Its Student Handbook promises to uphold them. Senior administrators, including deans of multiple schools, held several meetings about what I wrote online. They instructed administrators to compile surveillance dossiers -- screenshots, PDFs of my articles and tweets, negative emails and hearsay. They instructed faculty not to say good things about me. They assigned me a "professionalism coach," Cheryl Erwin, who posed as an impartial advisor but privately wrote that I engaged in "intellectual narcissism" and believed in "conspiracy theories." In one passage, she compared my case to the Trump indictment and his denial of the 2020 election results. She wrote that I was exercising my First Amendment rights to "make an idiot of himself." I questioned the wisdom of lockdowns and the effectiveness of masks. This warranted, it appears, my very own Stasi dossier. I was aware of none of this until I exercised my statutory right to inspect my educational records. After dozens of email exchanges, months of delay, and a federal complaint to the Department of Education, I was finally able to inspect them two months ago. Dr. Erwin had accused me of believing in conspiracy theories. I did not. But I should have. Shortly after the dean of the medical school demanded my signed Honor Code and asked "what rotation is he on," I began receiving evaluations from Texas Tech faculty that were false and misleading. This went on for months. Something on the order of fifty discrete complaints were made against me. Prior to that, the number had been zero. I filed seven detailed complaints according to the Student Handbook and under the guidance of several administrators. I alleged that my evaluators had fabricated evaluations. I demanded hearings to hold them accountable. On November 4, 2023, senior administrator Simon Williams signed a document removing me from campus on the pretext of being dangerous. A BOLO was issued telling students, faculty, and employees to call 911 if I was seen. Mass emails warned that I was dangerous. An incident that continues to be cited to this very day, more than two years later. On November 5, Dr. Williams invited me to a sandwich shop. He confessed that he knew I was not dangerous. He admitted that Texas Tech faculty and administrators felt threatened by my complaints -- and took it out on me. In other words, Dr. Williams confessed that he lied in Texas Tech's official documentation and that the campus removal was retaliation for constitutionally protected speech alleging wrongdoing by Texas Tech faculty. Here are just some of the things he told me: "This profession expects more of everyone. And if you choose to enter it, by definition you choose to live by those professional rules." "And you know, free speech is free speech. We've actually had a lot of talks. Our lawyers are doing works with us. Just yesterday when I was at the meeting, they were talking about free speech. I mean I'm 100%. I want you to be able to say whatever the frick you want. And I won't get -- I usually will not get in any way triggered by it. But when you're in a position that's such a trusted position in society -- then your standard has to be a little bit. And that's one of the places this is becoming a problem." [Timestamp: 00:34:48] "Can I say in my appeal letter that Dr. Williams seems to believe that I'm not [nervous laughter] homicidal?" "I... I have said that. I don't think you are. I don't think there's -- I've never sensed threat or danger or anything like that." [Timestamp: 00:34:48] "But it's important for me that I do this. In fact, that's why I moved back from Seattle a day early. Because I needed to be here today. I want you to know that because I never felt [inaudible] bad here. I've always enjoyed my interactions with you. I wish other people could see it that way, but apparently that's [inaudible]." [Timestamp: 00:34:48] Yet in his letter authorizing my removal just the day before, he wrote: "You have engaged in behavior that may constitute violation(s) ... specifically, but not limited to ... 'Physical harm or threat of harm to any person.'" Then an appeal hearing was held. A Schrodinger's Administrator of sorts, just as soon as Dr. Williams was observed to speak publicly, he immediately asserted that I was indeed dangerous and should be kept off campus, flip-flopping back from the position he communicated privately. The timeline: November 4: "Physical harm or threat of harm to any person" November 5: "I've never sensed threat or danger or anything like that" November 9: Kevin is dangerous actually To be clear. Under 18 U.S.C. ยง 242, it is a federal crime to willfully deprive a person of constitutional rights under color of law. A federal crime. And that is exactly what Dr. Williams did. Dr. Williams's decision to remove me was not impulsive. Nine months earlier, two days after my Newsweek article was published, he wrote in internal emails: "It is obviously protected speech but also quite concerning in the way he appears to speak for the medical community. We need to discuss an appropriate response." -- February 1, 2023 "I am not surprised that there was backlash. I think it will be best to hear what legal says we should do." -- February 2, 2023 The "appropriate response" took nine months to execute. It was relentless, and it came from all directions. This "appropriate response" was precisely the one I filed grievances to confront. And I was met with calls from the campus police. I am not the first one Texas Tech has done this to. How do I know? An administrator told me. At least one other student had false allegations leveled against him because the administration wanted them gone. And if they win, I won't be the last they do this to either. I only discovered these emails because I exercised my right under FERPA to inspect my educational records. Now Texas Tech's litigation counsel, Assistant Attorney General Scott Smith, has recently blocked all further access to my records -- in writing. If Texas Tech does not fulfill its FERPA obligations, it could lose all federal funding. Texas Tech, apparently, is getting very nervous. Smith also ordered me to stop contacting the Registrar and to route all requests through him. That's right. The attorney defending Texas Tech against my lawsuit is now trying to establish gatekeeping control over my education records. That's illegal. A federal complaint is pending with the Department of Education and other federal agencies. FIRE Greg Lukianoff -- crickets DOJ Civil Rights Division -- you have my complaint Attorney General Ken Paxton @OAGTexas -- your AAG is doing a terrible job; borderline sanctionable; I don't get it Greg Abbott -- this your university Texas Tech University -- Williams was not the top of the decision tree; I know that for a fact Newsweek -- help me publish my story @ACLUofTexas -- do you know about this? Department of Justice (DOJ) Harmeet K. Dhillon Pam Bondi -- theoretically, this is prosecutable under 18 U.S.C. ยง 242. I'm not a prosecutor, but it does theoretically fulfill the elements. Willful. Chancellor Brandon Creighton -- you are the chancellor. Do something. My case is a strange one. It gets stranger everyday. It will get stranger still. Of that I am sure. Here's something strange: the defending Assistant Attorney General and two colleagues are getting hammered on the docket by a pro se plaintiff. They seem utterly incapable of following court rules, making coherent arguments, or even properly citing their own exhibits or authorities. I suspect that they just don't know what to do with my case. In the next post, I will begin telling that story. You won't believe it. Texans, your government is setting your taxpayer money on fire to defend a university that set out not just to destroy a medical student's career, but his personal and professional reputation as well. Remember. They destroyed me because I was damn good at what I did. Now I'm an order of magnitude better. And I don't bluff. Horror and laughter. Those come next.
