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

Baseball has changed.

It's like a video game now; an in person video game. And so bright/loud. I remember when you could think at a baseball game.

Millennials have broken baseball. @MattMoscona

@ThinkingnChurch @BrooksAustinBA Over basically a decade from 2011 to 2021, the #SEC had three national champions who couldn't win the conf championship.

Bama in 2011 (LSU)
Bama in 2017 (UGA)
Georgia in 2021 (Bama)

Winning that conference is tough. USC & FSU in their runs were a joke.

tOSU did it '24 (OR)

@BrooksAustinBA This isn't even a contest. Notre Dame in a landslide.

Surprised not to see the University of Spoiled Children somewhere in the top 5. Mediocrity has a tendency to make people forget...

[Russ Mitchell @RussMitchellCFB]

@ThinkingnChurch @BrooksAustinBA Alabama always plays a tough schedule. Ohio State mostly, although their non-conf over the last 25 years has been pretty spartan. USC during the Carroll era, when they could win 8 straight conference championships or whatever, was a joke. Same with FSU under Bobby

@unogolfer @MattMoscona @bocockbrothers People keep waking me up.

You were right, @MattMoscona; strongest damn lighter I've ever used. AND a great cigar. Cheers to @bocockbrothers. Nicely done.

@MattMoscona That was a fun night. Great game.

We did play some good football before the turn of the century, y'all.

I'm doing a complete 180 on flag football. I thought this was dumb, but I was wrong. This is a good idea. Advances the game. Multiple states have now sanctioned it as a high school varsity sport for girls. Good for a lot of dad's and daughters. Hope to see this advance.

[Russ Mitchell @RussMitchellCFB]

@KyleBrandt great show this morning. Very entertaining.

My favorite part of all of this new time we find ourselves navigating is state judges ruling on good ol State U. 🤣

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

NEWS: Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss has been granted a sixth season of eligibility by a state court judge in Mississippi. Chambliss received an injunction today, which paves the way for him to play in 2026 after the NCAA ruled he was eligibility. (The NCAA can appeal.)

I'm thinking Full Contact Curling. Like, tackle curling.

Just gonna put this here. See ya in July.

We all need more of this…

@RyanKisiel I would if I'd known about this. It's too late for me now. Leave me behind.
