@hoosiercommish Disgraceful. I’ll never forgive him. Ever…

I'm really sorry to all our fans. I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year. I thought we were due some luck. But please remember - this team deserved a starting center to compete with the best teams next year. We have always been resilient.

[Caitlin Cooper @C2_Cooper]

We watched the team’s franchise player sustain a major injury in the most heartbreaking way possible on the cusp of a championship. Then, watched the rest of the team get torpedoed by non-stop injuries. There were two franchise-worst losing streaks. Now, this.

Durante nueve meses, mi esposa, Brooklyn, llevó en su vientre a nuestro pequeño niño. Y durante nueve meses, vivimos en un lugar entre la esperanza y el desamor.

A principios del embarazo, supimos que algo estaba terriblemente mal. Alrededor del tercer o cuarto mes, los médicos nos dijeron que nuestro hijo tenía una hidrocefalia severa —líquido que se acumulaba tan rápidamente en su cerebro que lo empujaba todo a un lado. Antes lo llamaban “agua en el cerebro”, pero la simplicidad del nombre no suavizaba la realidad.

Eventualmente nos derivaron al Hospital Infantil de Cincinnati, donde algunos de los mejores especialistas en fetos del país se reunieron con nosotros. Y nos dieron ese tipo de noticia para la que ningún padre está jamás preparado.

Su condición era tan severa, tan extrema, que dejaron de medirla. No tenía sentido, dijeron. Las imágenes de la resonancia magnética eran devastadoras. Nos dijeron que había más del 90% de probabilidades de que nuestro hijo:

• Muriese poco después del nacimiento, o
• Sobreviviese con un deterioro cognitivo tan profundo que la vida —la vida real— no sería posible.

Nos sentamos en reuniones por las que ningún padre debería pasar. Conversaciones sobre tubos de respiración. Sobre cuánto tiempo intentar. Sobre el momento en que tendríamos que tomar la decisión de dejarlo ir.

Brooklyn se mudó a Cincinnati para estar cerca del hospital. Yo iba y venía —trabajando, cuidando a nuestras hijas Sophie y Lily, e intentando mantener nuestra casa en pie mientras nuestro mundo parecía derrumbarse.

Luego llegó el 8 de julio.

Quince minutos antes de la cesárea de Brooklyn, nos sentamos de nuevo con los médicos e discutimos cuándo —no si— tendríamos que retirar el soporte vital y dejar que nuestro hijo fuera al cielo.

No tengo palabras para ese tipo de dolor.

Y entonces —Charlie Edward Schnarr llegó a este mundo llorando.

Un llanto fuerte, alto, desafiante.

El sonido más hermoso que he escuchado en mi vida.

Se quedó en la UCIN hasta ayer… y ahora estamos en casa. Juntos. Abrazándolo. Queriéndolo. Viéndolo respirar. Viéndolo vivir.

Tiene una leve dilatación ventricular que vigilaremos —pero de lo contrario?

Está prosperando. Comiendo. Retorciéndose. Bostezando. Agarrando nuestros dedos. Mirando alrededor a un mundo que nunca se suponía que sería el suyo.

Los médicos no tienen explicación. Dijeron que su cerebro de alguna manera despejó el bloqueo por sí solo —algo que ninguno de ellos ha visto en un caso tan severo. La palabra que resonaba en la UCIN de enfermeras experimentadas y especialistas de primer nivel era la misma:

“Milagro.”

“Intervención divina.”

Ellos lo dijeron. No nosotros.

Sabemos que miles de personas —familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo, extraños— estaban orando por nuestro hijo. Creo con todo mi ser que Dios escuchó esas oraciones. Que Él puso Su mano sobre Charlie. Que Él dijo, no a este.

Pasaré el resto de mi vida agradeciéndole.

A cada persona que oró por nosotros —cada mensaje de texto, cada nota, cada intención susurrada— gracias. Nos sostuvieron cuando estábamos demasiado exhaustos para sostenernos a nosotros mismos.

La oración es real.
Dios es real.
Y los milagros… todavía ocurren.

Con un corazón lleno y agradecido,

[Geoff Horen @GeoffHoren]

@hoosiercommish Fan bases I can’t stand the most:

1. UConn

That’s the list. No class fan base earned their ranking at MSG when I went to watch IU a couple years ago.

Also, still mad that a KU fan put a Jayhawk sticker on my IU plate in 1993. If Henderson wasn’t hurt, we win it all! 😂

Mark Cubans advice on selling AI agents to SMBs is the MOST underrated clip on the internet right now.

here’s the full play he didn’t break down (bookmark this):

pick one vertical. learn the flows. become the AI team they never hired and wish they had.

you really don’t need a CS degree or VC money. you need claude, a cold email sequence, and the willingness to learn one industry better than anyone.

bonus, find an industry leader who knows nothing about AI but knows everything about their business. partner with them. bring AI into their operations.

you increase EBITDA. you increase multiples. you own a piece of the upside. this is the business model of the decade.

[Geoff Horen @GeoffHoren]

Hope they continue to pick against us moving forward!

There's an opportunity right now to build a $100k per month side hustle as an AI Concierge.

And you don't even have to be *that* technical to do it. Just high agency.

There are probably millions of people out there who see all of the latest AI innovations like Claude Cowork, want to take advantage of them, but have no idea how to actually do that.

I know, because I'm one of those people...

I had dinner last night with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech startup. He was telling me about the full digital assistant/employee he just hacked together over the weekend. All of the things it's doing, how it's been an unlock for his workflows and life.

I told him I'd gladly pay him $5000 to come to my house and spend the day building me one using the same approach.

He laughed that he'd happily do that (though obviously won't given his day job).

There's a real, high cash flow opportunity for a hustler to launch a services business as an AI Concierge for the tech curious.

Ideally they would physically show up and build out a tool (or suite) to help an individual leverage the latest for their business and life.

I bet you could charge $5-10k for the initial upfront work and then some low ongoing service fee to keep the thing up to date (if the person wants that and needs help with it).

5-10 clients per month and you have a meaningful cash flow engine.

All comes down to the quality of what you deliver long term, but my guess is people would see a Month 1 positive ROI on the investment and referrals to their friends would drive the entire business.

Just a thought...

There were many special moments throughout the #iubb championship run… this one was different. Absolute pandemonium on this play and an out of body experience following the big hit on the kickoff. The crowd was amped with anticipation. Mike’s right- this was unlike any other!!

@TopTierOleMiss Dude, I’m a UGA fan.

I’ve been to hundreds of games. Dozens of bowl games. Several CFP games. Multiple natties

I was at the Peach Bowl

Remember when Indiana had that pick six on the first play?

I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT

You have no earthly idea, my friend

Told my aging Father about the potential for the 2031 first round pick as part of the @Pacers trade. He said, “Oh good. I won’t even be alive by then to worry about it.” 🤦‍♂️ So I guess my Dad thanks @PacersKev , but I made it clear I fully expected him to still be around!
