"I'm just proud of him, man. And I watched him as a high school kid. We recruited him at Wichita State. I remember our coach, Greg Marshall came in one day. He 'was like, 'Man, I got ya'll replacement' - We like, 'What?' He like, 'Man, I got y'all replaced. This white boy from Arkansas. He just dropped 71.' I'm like, 'Man, ain't no white boy from Arkansas coming in here, man. Ain't nobody trying to hear that shit.'
And sure enough, he came on his visit and we started watching. I'm like, 'This little mofo like Pistol Pete. I started watching him. He wasn't at Wichita long, he ended up transferring before he went to Oklahoma. But just a good dude too. Great guy."

A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.
That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.
If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.
Could you have kept your cool?
Hats off to her.
