I think it's worth mentioning in the aftermath of ACU's win over Texas that it took Joe Golding eight years to achieve his first winning season at ACU. Including that season, they've gone 71-22 with two NCAA tournament appearances since. Patience is a virtue. Let coaches build.

@mSanterre @JoseMock @crazyclipsonly The restaurants don't include that in the price because they don't want to scare off cheap customers. They're going to get their money either way. It's the service worker who gets screwed. Not tipping only hurts the person who took the time and made the effort to serve you.

@PeterBurnsESPN Carry that water, Pete. But while you do try to understand that the Big 12's expansion (necessitated by the SEC) improves access to high major football (good for the sport). The SEC's attempt to gut the Big 12 and freeze out a whole region was done with the opposite in mind.

@OrtizKicks As a Rangers fan, I appreciated Yordan's humanity in that moment. While others were stirring the pot, he stepped outside of an intense moment in an intense game in an intense series to do the right thing. Big ups to Mr. Alvarez.

What's the point of a salary cap if a team with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston under contract can still afford DeMarcus Cousins? The NBA is broken.

These are the words of a coach who has gotten too comfortable with state trips. And who would appear to have lost both the joy and call of coaching. For most, a chance to play for a title is an honor and a privilege. For him, it's truly just a business trip. And that's sad.

A lot of people will make a big deal of the LBJ's fumbles, and rightly so. But the bigger story IMO is how dominant Stephenville has been against the run. Stephenville has completely taken the Jaguars out of their offensive game plan. #BigCountryPreps

@Moxin63418039 @crazyclipsonly You're tipping for the time and gas it took for the driver to deliver your food/groceries. Time and gas you could be spending to pick it up or they could be using to deliver items to someone more generous than you. Using a delivery service with no intent to tip is lame.

The Rangers got a combined 14 starts out of Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer, finished the season with a 3 1/2-man rotation and have by far the worst bullpen in the sport. Those disappointed that the team only won 90 games and made the playoffs as a wild card need to chill.

@Rangers29AB The problem comes if you don't win the World Series. All you've done in that case is cut a seven- or eight-year winning window in half. There are other, less cost prohibitive trade targets that can help us contend in the playoffs. I'd rather focus on those and stay the course.

If MLB cancels the 2020 season due to the health risk of COVID-19, fine. If it cancels the 2020 season over a labor dispute -- and squanders a truly unique opportunity to showcase a sport badly in need of fan growth -- that league deserves the '94 strike-esque fallout it gets.
