Add “The Pacific” as well. Honor. Integrity. Toughness. Actions not for fame, glory, money but for country. For the greater good. This is what real men look like. Kids have very few examples of this in today’s 🌍. 🇺🇸

[Voices of WW2 @VoicesofWW2]

On the night of June 5, 1944, Eisenhower stood on a tarmac in England and watched 13,000 paratroopers board their planes.

He already knew what Air Marshal Leigh-Mallory had told him in private: up to half of them might not survive the night. 6,500 men. Dead before a single soldier touched the beach. Eisenhower had approved the mission anyway, called the decision "soul-wracking," and said nothing to the men.

Instead he drove out and visited them.

He chatted. Laughed. Asked where they were from. Shook hands. Cracked jokes. Not one of them knew their general had just signed what might be their death warrant.

When the last plane disappeared into the dark sky, his driver Kay Summersby looked over at him.

There were tears running down his face.

He drove back to Telegraph Cottage in silence. Then he sat down, picked up a pencil, and wrote a note he prayed no one would ever read.

"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

Look at what he edited.

He had first written "This particular operation." He crossed it out and replaced it with "My decision to attack." Then he pressed the pencil down hard and drew a long, firm line under the words "mine alone."

He misdated it July 5 instead of June 5.

He was so consumed with dread he had forgotten what month it was.

He folded the note and put it in his wallet. He carried it there as 156,000 men stormed the beaches of Normandy. When word came back that the beachhead had held, he took it out, crumpled it, and threw it in the trash.

An aide quietly pulled it out and saved it.

That note is now behind glass at the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. You can still see where the pencil pressed hardest.

Right under the words "mine alone."

82 years ago tonight.

@Nastyhogninja NIL (talent) isn’t the issue. We bring dudes in, and those dudes regress.

We’re not soft. We are average. Average hitting. Average pitching. Average defensively. One above average player, McElvain and one elite, Dietz. Average don’t win 🏆.

Love how we prioritize academics 🤦 when states allow high school NIL 💴 and kids get 6 & 7 year scholarships in college for sports. Don’t think they are doing this for the smart kids. Pick a lane please. #mixedmessaging

🚨 Texas HSFB Transfer Ineligible 🚨

2029 QB Bryson Kennedy out of Little Rock transferred to Duncanville this offseason. According to his father, he has been ruled ineligible after it was determined the move was made for athletic reasons.

On a podcast, when asked why he transferred to Duncanville:

“I feel like the opportunity was better for me as a player,”

Lesson of the day: If you transfer, maybe sprinkle in “academic reasons” somewhere before hopping on a podcast tour.

I got bit by a coral snake on Sunday. med flighted to the ER. Spent almost 3 days in the ICU & bout died lmfao. First pic is me holding it thinking it was a king snake. The rest are the affects. Still rocking nerve damage. But wild getting bit by the most venomous snake in the US

[Ricky Scanlan @RTScan4]

If true he should be done. Eligibility immediately done. No appeal. Has to be for all cases going forward. Punishment has to be grave to be a a warning for others. Now with NIL that takes their 💰.

According to this, Brendan Sorsby bet on Indiana games while on the roster:

"Student-athletes who wager on their own games or on other sports at their own schools" face "permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports."

[Jacob Davis @jacobdaviscfb]

LOL! Y’all talking about the Memphis offense that blasted Arkansas in the last 32 minutes, outscored them 22-3 and rolled up 489 yards?

If Cramsey had a QB like Seth Henigan or Brady White the Hogs would’ve been torched that day.

BP’s offense scored 3 points w/ 223 yards of offense in the second half of a game they were favored by a TD in.

BP’s offense was chunk yardage kings with first half leads every week. But when it mattered in the 2nd half, his unit couldn’t get it done.

Ole Miss: 7 points
Memphis: 3
Notre Dame: 0
Tennessee: 14
Texas A&M: 22
Auburn: 3
Miss. State: 22
LSU: 8
Texas: 17
Missouri: 0

That’s 9.6 points per game with a QB he probably paid $2.5mil — and I’m a huge Bobby supporter, but the reality is he’s no longer the guru he was perceived as in 2011.

Total offense as OC/HC:

2017 @ LOU: No. 3 NAT’L (544.9 ypg)
2018 @ LOU: No. 108 NAT’L (353 ypg)
2021: @ MSU: No. 2 MVC (435 ypg, FCS)
2022 @ MSU: No. 7 MVC (366 ypg, FCS)
2023 @ A&M: No. 50 NAT’L (407 ypg)
2024 @ ARK: No. 10 NAT’L (460 ypg)
2025 @ ARK: No. 13 NAT’L (455 ypg)

Scoring as OC/HC:

2017 @ LOU: No. 11 NAT’L (38.1)
2018 @ LOU: No. 121 NAT’L (19.8)
2021 @ MSU: No. 10 NAT’L (34.2, FCS)
2022 @ MSU: No. 54 NAT’L (27.4, FCS)
2023 @ A&M: No. 25 NAT’L (33.3)
2024 @ ARK: No. 43 NAT’L (30.9)
2025 @ ARK: No. 23 NAT’L (32.9)

Turnovers b/c he’s responsible for demanding ball security:

2017 @ LOU: No. 85 NAT’L (21)
2018 @ LOU: No. 112 NAT’L (25)
2021 @ MSU: No. 98 NAT’L (21, FCS)
2022 @ MSU: No. 12 NAT’L (11, FCS)
2023 @ A&M: No. 87 NAT’L (15)
2024 @ ARK: No. 120 NAT’L (23)
2025 @ ARK: No. 102 NAT’L (20)

Overall record since 2017 as HC/OC: 44-50

The 2025 Razorbacks completely overcompensated on offense that the defense struggled mightily because of depth issues.

That’s always been a concern going back to his first Arkansas tenure. There’s no promise that 2012 would’ve fallen flat with him at the helm anyway.

Why? Because the Hogs’ defense paper thin.

It was obvious this year that Sam Pittman probably promised BP so many tools on offense that it hurt the overall product.

It led Cam Ball & Ian Geffrard to play the majority of snaps at DT … there was nobody behind them.

The offensive greed caused the pass rush to be non-existent forced the secondary to cover for guys for hours. There were blown assignments + an offseason injury to the best cover guy which weakened an already suspect unit.

Time for presidential election to be by popular vote. That gets rid of all this gerrymandering and other BS that the politicians use to rig the game.

the strongest argument for the VRA is that exactly 2 seconds after its gutted, the south will immediately go back to disenfranchising black voters like its 1963 again

I disagree. It’s exactly what Cliff and Bobby wanted. Bad shots are penal. Good shots rewarded. We’ve seen plenty of both. Tomorrow will be spectacular. #themasters

Augusta National is under no obligation to make this tournament US Open-hard, but this year’s once-in-a-decade+ conditions were an opportunity for something special and they opted to take the teeth out of the course. Feels like a rare miss by the green jackets.
