Tennessee football HC Josh Heupel to Vol fans:

"However you get ready for game time, wake up early and do whatever you need to do to be your best at 12."

Just a few Tennessean’s that are responsible for the existence of Texas.

Davy Crockett - war hero, defender of the Alamo

Sam Houston - 6th Governor of Tennessee, defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto

James K. Polk - 11th President of the US, granted Texas statehood

Welcome to 2026, where feminists thinks Sydney Sweeney doing a sexy ad is setting women back, but Lindsay Clancy killing her three kids and crying postpartum psychosis isn’t.

The SEC accusing LSU of “lack of institutional control” hits differently when you look at the timeline:

2011-12 — NCAA major-infractions case. Recruiting violations. LSU put on probation.

2012-17 — Booster John Paul Funes provides $180K in impermissible benefits to a football player’s family using money embezzled from a hospital foundation.

2013 — Les Miles investigation intentionally stored offsite. AD Joe Alleva recommends firing him. LSU keeps him.

2017-19 — Will Wade caught on FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-ass offer.”

2019 — LSU suspends Wade after he refuses to meet with LSU/NCAA officials. Reinstates him 5 weeks later.

2020 — LSU’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations exposed.

2020 �� Odell Beckham Jr. hands LSU players cash after the national title.

2020 — LSU self-imposes scholarship cuts, recruiting restrictions and a bowl ban amid the NCAA investigation.

LSU’s statement:

“This decision reflects LSU’s commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional control.”

2021 — Independent review finds systemic Title IX failures. Verge Ausberry suspended 30 days without pay.

2022 — LSU fires Wade after an NCAA Notice of Allegations containing multiple Level I allegations.

2022 — Separate NCAA case: Football commits COVID dead-period recruiting violations. One year probation.

2023 — IARP resolves the football/basketball case: multiple violations, failure to monitor, 37 football wins vacated and 3 more years probation, beginning when the prior probation ended Sept. 21, 2023.

The NCAA also alleged lack of institutional control. The IARP did not sustain that allegation.

2024 — LSU pays $1.9M to settle Title IX claims. No admission of liability.

2026 — LSU rehires Will Wade.

The AD announcing the hire? Verge Ausberry.

2026 — Wade pursues international pros, an NBA draft pick and players with professional basketball experience.

2026 — LSU pursues outside capital tied to future SEC media revenue.

2026 — LSU pushes to add players who signed NFL contracts and went through NFL camps.

Sept. 2026 — The SEC sues LSU. Ausberry is a named defendant.

LSU ultimately leaves the former NFL players off its final roster.

The SEC presses forward anyway.

Its amended complaint says LSU’s actions “confirm the lack of institutional control over the athletics program at LSU that is required by Article 6 of the SEC Constitution.”

At the informal direction of the other 15 SEC presidents and chancellors, Sankey calls a Special Meeting for Sept. 10 to consider terminating LSU’s membership — whether LSU backs off the professional players or not.

And LSU is still on NCAA probation.

It expires Sept. 21.

Twelve days from now.

Different coaches. Different scandals.

Same institution. And in some cases, the same people.

Cubs currently have 65 losses...30 of those have come via a blown lead...THIRTY! That's 46% of losses that SHOULD have been wins. I understand you're not going to win every game you're ahead, but being in a territory of almost 50% of your loss total being via a blown lead needs to be addressed in the offseason #Cubs

LSU is a lose lose situation. If they win out
“They needed NFL talent to get it done because kiffin can’t coach”
If they lose
“They couldn’t win with NFL talent, kiffin is a terrible coach”

Congrats on becoming the most hated coach in college football you absolute clown

[CUBS WORLD @CubsWorld80]

Shota Imanaga throwing batting practice tonight and the Phillies will tie the Cubs if they lose this game. Meanwhile, let check in on who could’ve started this game instead

Bringing Quintin Berry into the clubhouse was one of the more underrated additions to this #Cubs team.

He’s a leader and keeps his players in check, and most importantly he defends and has his player’s back.

A truly amazing leader in the clubhouse which unlocks so many more things.

Lane Kiffin once told Tennessee recruits not to attend class, so they could follow him to USC.

Nearly 20 years later, he's now telling pros to leave the NFL and follow him to LSU.

The school changes. The polo changes.

But he's always been a con man.

Passan had the nerve to repeatedly tell fans “all teams can do what the Dodgers do, they just choose not to”

Then said he never said that

Then got community noted

Then deleted the post

Instantly the most hated man in baseball media if he hadn’t been already
