SGA has already poisoned the next generation 🤦🏻‍♂️

RIP basketball 🙏

Like I said. The NBA is unwatchable. And it’s trickling down to kids.

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

SGA just fell down on the shot completely UNTOUCHED

This is the most SHAMELESS basketball player I've ever seen and the refs keep letting him get away with it

I bet they were also saying “man if we got a chance to play against the best teams in nation & weren’t DQd bc of two close losses, that would be awesome.”

[Bud Elliott @BudElliott3]

I bet Booger and LSU celebrated going to the Peach Bowl in 1996 with a 10-2 record and a No. 17 ranking like crazy because back then ESPN wasn't there to tell them that their season was meaningless because they didn't make the playoffs.

In 1997, nobody was telling his LSU squad, which lost two games by less than a touchdown and had a win over the number one Florida Gators, that their season was a failure. They were excited for their bowl game. That was an excellent season. We used to recognize that.

But if Booger played today, he'd be told those seasons don't matter because they didn't make the playoffs.

This is what I'm talking about in terms of what we've lost in a sport with the focus on such a narrowly drawn playoff.

The nba is unwatchable. Players fall down and no travel call. Players violate the lane on FTs. No call. It’s ridiculous

It’s not even a better tradition in the state of Florida. Miami’s smoke and noles tomahawk chop are superior. By far.

[Florida Gators 🐊🔥 @gatorsszn]

They played Won’t Back Down at Morgan Wallen’s concert 🐊

Best tradition in CFB 🤷‍♂️

[Jonathan Akin @Jonathanakin]

Best one yet

@WillStandridge Ham commits maternal incest while Noah is passed out drunk (cf lev 18) & Canaan is the offspring from it. It’s why Canaan is called the brother of Shem & Japheth not the nephew.

Why does the Spurs arena look mostly empty for a playoff game

What a great group of guys learning to preach @carson_newman_u - I love getting to work with them

It’s a rainy Thursday on Carson-Newman University’s campus. A few minutes before noon. But the late February overcast doesn’t dampen spirits of the students filing into the conference room.

The team with the longest sec win streak right now is … Miami

[SEC Numbers Guy @secnumbersguy]

Miami defeated a TOTAL of 5 draft picks during conference play.

Vanderbilt defeated a TOTAL of 30 draft picks during conference play.

The committee MUST STOP allowing teams with NO RESUME in the playoff for the sake of “conference diversity.”

I got to go to the Philippines over 20 years ago with Bob. Preached the gospel 55 times in 3 weeks. Forever grateful for his ministry and legacy.

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

Heaven ushered in a hero of the faith last night as my Dad was welcomed home!

Many will say sorry for your loss but the truth is he’s not lost, we know exactly where he is.

He’s home.
Forever!

I asked him last week what he looked forward to most about Heaven, and he simply said, “Jesus.”

He couldn’t wait to see Jesus face to face.
Praise God that his wait is over.
Death has been swallowed up in victory.
He’s healed and whole now.

So we don’t mourn as those with no hope.
See you soon Dad!

Nate Ament: "It's one of the reasons I chose Tennessee because of Coach Barnes and his faith. ... as a team, you're trying to glorify something bigger than yourself. And, ultimately, something that is Jesus Christ and is God can only lead to good things. When you're playing for something other than your own glory and the glory of others, the glory of your teammates, the glory of Christ, only good things can happen from there if you're being selfless and trying to take care of each other."
