The Texas athletic department has now won 71 national championships in its history. Eighteen of those titles (or 25.4%) have come since Chris Del Conte was hired as the Longhorns' athletic director in December 2017. #HookEm

Here's what #Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle had to say about McCreery making his first appearance tonight:

"(He had a) great fall, and looked really awesome during the season, and started getting hurt, get banged up, and went through a really, really tough surgery that not a lot of people come back from, and we told him there were no guarantees, if he wanted to come back, he's welcome to be on the team, but there was no guarantee, and his quote to me was, 'I don't care if I ever pitch again, if I just get one more opportunity on the mound to help this team and this help this program, that's what I'm doing.'

"He came back here to do that, and man, he's been awesome. And I think these guys will tell you what kind of teammate he is. He leads the pregame prayer down the right field line. He's been doing that for two years. One of the main reasons we still travel him is because of his impact in the dugout and with the team, and so the game rewarded him tonight, and he pitched well, you know. And when I brought him in, I said, 'This, you know, this isn't a charity case,' Obviously, I wanted to see him, give an opportunity to fulfill that dream of throwing at least one more time, but he threw really well. So you never know what you have until you get it out there, and so crazy things can happen in baseball, and Connor's an elite human and a great teammate."

Unprecedented Dominance: Texas Rowing has broken the world record fastest time EVER in the history of the world.

The previous fastest time was set by Romania in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games with a time of 5:52.99.

Texas was 5.284 seconds faster. Just incredible.

On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.

Some of their losses:

Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV

They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.

Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.

Cows are really good swimmers and in Ireland, farmers load them onto boats to take them to graze on offshore islands.

Who knew? Irish cows are living their best lives.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

This is Alex Roca Campillo.

He has cerebral palsy and became the first person in the world with a 76% disability to finish a marathon.

Alex showed the world that a person’s inabilities don’t determine their value or potential.

Truly inspiration ❤️

Dolphins are some of the few animals known to invent toys using nothing but their own breath. Biologists have captured footage of them deliberately exhaling perfect silver bubble rings underwater, then using their snouts to spin them, flip them, and swim right through them.
