Fun CWS Fact: Georgia played 33 SEC games, including Hoover, going 26-7 and winning two titles.

None of the 33 were against Texas, Alabama, or Oklahoma, the three teams in their CWS pod.

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.

We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.

Pizza Hut franchises across the country are rolling out "Pizza Hut Classic" remodels to bring back the iconic '80s and '90s dining experience.

Franchisees are reviving beloved staples like the red cups, checkered tablecloths, salad bars, and classic Tiffany-style lamps to draw families back into dining rooms.

After years of sleek modern redesigns, the old-school dine-in feel is suddenly making a comeback.

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.

Opening Day at UCLA?

I was sitting the bench. 😭

I had 2 choices:

1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches

OR

2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.

So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.

I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.

Meanwhile, I studied the team.

The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.

So I told the coaches:

“I can play third.”

Then I noticed something else:

Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.

I saw the gap.

If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.

Then we played Miami.

The starting third baseman was hitting .115.

They gave me a shot.

I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.

I never sat the bench again.

Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.

One thing baseball taught me:

Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.

Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.
