There is no more accurate saying than a dog is man’s best friend. Tonight we’re missing our best friend Larry, who gave us 16 loyal years.

1/ We buried my dad today. He was. everything. A loyal and loving husband and father of 6. Educated in a 1-room schoolhouse, he worked in banks and sawmills, on aircraft carriers and in men's fashion. His door was always open, and there was little he loved more than a full house.

My daughter is visiting NYC for the first time. She’s 13. This morning she was on the hotel elevator with four men and said “So where is everyone from?” No one responded. She followed with “I guess you’re wondering why I gathered you all here”. I wonder where she gets it from!.

Miss State hiring Leach to counter Kiffin to Ole Miss is born out of the same mentality that keeps roadside fireworks stands in business. Neigbor got the Silversonic Warhead and Copperhead Mortars? Let’s get the Rain of Fire and Phantom Strike.

Kudos to Buzz Williams for how he handled the AM jersey situation last night. Said it was his fault, & that if he made the same mistake when he was a manager his coach would’ve taken the blame. A leadership lesson that will never be forgotten by the people in his locker room.

Wait a sec. @MizzouFootball’s Cody Shrader doesn’t have an invite to the @seniorbowl?! When’s the last time a Senior who led the SEC in rushing was frozen out of that opportunity? That needs to be rectified immediately.

There's a lot to unpack from @KentuckyMBB win over Utah last night. but I can't stop thinking about the ovation @UKFootball got at Rupp. The smiles on Benny Snell and Josh Allen's faces said it all. Stoops' bunch has worked so hard to get here, they deserve all praise they get.

Emotional start to the Kentucky game. The Wildcats came out in a football missing man formation, without their LG, to honor their O-line coach John Schlarman, who lost his battle with cancer this week. #SchlarmanStrong.

Just got back from @CFAPeachBowl and checked @KentuckyMBB score. Not sure what happened, but based on that score I’m guessing a lot of YAKKA and some BAM BAM FARPOWR. @ryanlemond @KySportsRadio.

In Mark Pope BBN gets two things they have been most vocal about: a modern offense built around the three, and a pivot from player first to program first. His passion for the program will win over this fan base - if it hasn't already.

Big win for the Cats that will pay off down the line. The building was electric. Mark Pope has a deep team and he pulled every string tonight. Kriisa and Garrison gave them big lifts off the bench. Oh, and Cooper Flagg is a stud.

If you commit a flagrant foul that causes an injury, your suspension should last as long as as the player you injured is out.

1/Tim Corbin’s Vanderbilt team was in a tailspin heading into the series finale vs rival Tennessee today. With their post season hopes hanging in the balance thanks to a 7 game SEC losing streak, the Vandy Boys were facing a must win game to continue their 17 season NCAA streak.

Kyle Field is a college football cathedral. Last night was another reminder of what we missed out on last year. The 12th Man very nearly won that game for A&M, and I consider myself blessed every time I get to go there for 'work'.

Had a national college baseball writer (I won’t expose him here) tell me Kentucky fans won’t travel to Omaha. I countered with #BBN being a big event, party happy fan base that has the potential to take over the town. Who’s right? #RoadToOmaha.

How do we know @UKFootball has turned the corner? They weren’t moping or pouting after the L, they were pissed. That’s now a program that expects to go on the road in the SEC and win, and that is a totally different mindset from where they were.

Young broadcasters (and old) take note: after Kenny Albert fired "He shoots, he scores!" on the Rangers Game 7 overtime winner, he din't speak again for 1:56. Incredible scene and sounds from MSG - from fan hugs to the handshake line - told the story.

I grew up a Royals fan. There were years the only national attention my team got was in All-Star introductions. Seeing my team's uniforms in such a prestigious event made me feel connected. MLB going away from that shows they're clueless about what it means to be a fan.

This is misleading. He also said “I loved my experience in college, that was some of the best years in my life playing basketball”. Pick and choose to fit your narrative.
DeMarcus Cousins: “Knowing what I know now, college basketball is bullshit.” Advises Zion Williamson to get ready for the NBA.

Ashton Hagans has quickly asserted himself as the leader of this team. His willingness to call out Keldon early in the game and tell him to wake up shows that he can do the dirty work and is respected to the point that his teammates listen to him. Not just his D that's elite.

This is a complete overreach by the NCAA umpires, but I blame the old dunderheads who have made the rules. MLB recognized years ago to let the kids play. NCAA is stuck in a bygone era.
