The simple word of FAITH holds so much power! 🙏🏻✝️

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him.

Take care of him if he's alive.

[Joe Radke @afibathlete]

Call your Dad, meet him for coffee or a cold one, then give him a hug. One never knows when it might be your last opportunity. Nine plus years without being able to do it stings. I’m trying to make you proud, pops. Miss ya, love ya ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

It’s simple. Hold him accountable. Support his recovery whether he plays or not. This is NOT hard. Embarrassing actions by supposed “leaders”.

When you have to release a 22-minute video explaining why *you need to keep someone on your team*.... it probably means that player shouldn't actually be allowed to be on your team 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

When you are awake since 2:30 AM due to Thunderstorms you need to rely on #DISCIPLINE to get to the weight room at 6:00 am. If you just count on #MOTIVATION it may not be there with 4 hours of sleep?? Motivation is how you feel in the moment, discipline is who you are!

The magic of Omaha: Why the College World Series is unlike anything else in sports that's worth the trip

Embrace the city, enjoy everything it has to give.

The CWS is a bucket list trip. Here’s why it’s so special 👇 https://t.co/UpP6QoPvEx

@HuskersMN Cmon, Jim. I usually appreciate your takes, but you know betting on your own team changes the outcome. Once you’ve allowed it to happen, the last string attached to integrity is gone.

"I have not personally advocated for conference self governance, but today's decision makes it obvious that it is a necessary path forward," Nebraska AD Troy said. "We can not align with institutions who advocate or support player participation in this circumstance."

[Matt Schick @ESPN_Schick]

The judge's decision on Brendan Sorsby is indicative of where we are.

We've confused compassion & empathy with excusing behavior. This is what happens when the person who broke the rules is increasingly viewed as the primary victim.

Accountability is now cruelty.

Embarrassing.

[Kyler Cox @DugoutCox]

Nebraska infielder Joshua Overbeek with a fantastic quote:

"There's an eternal impact that we left on this team. The reason why this team was so special is that we had faith. So many guys believe in Jesus Christ and what He's done for us, and that brought this team together."

[Chance McClain @TexasChance]

In Texas once a man becomes a full-time coach in any sport, at any level ‘Coach’ is his title for life. Above Doctor. More like ‘Sir’ across the pond.

And not just his athletes. All people.

[Joe Radke @afibathlete]

@Sean_Callahan Honestly, this is what makes college baseball fun-look at the hog pen or ECU’s outfield crowds. The OF should be an absolute aura.

[Joe Radke @afibathlete]

@steven_sipple As it should be.

Good on him for getting help in recovery, but that should not supersede the rules in place. There are consequences when you break the rules.

[Keith Grabowski 🏈 Coach and Coordinator Network @CoachKGrabowski]

You can’t coach to please everyone.

Parents will have opinions.
Players will have opinions.

People will question decisions they don’t fully understand.

@CoachKurtHines’ reminder:
Live to an audience of one.
Listen to people.
Serve people.
Love people.

But don’t let every opinion become your compass.

[Joe Radke @afibathlete]

What he should say, “As administration of this institution, we also believe in holding people accountable for their actions. According to the NCAA rules, Brendan will not be eligible this season. We will continue to support Brendan on his recovery and assist him anyway we can”.

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

From Texas Tech president Lawrence Schovanec's letter: "The NCAA bylaws governing Brendan's case have not adapted to the era of widespread legalized sports betting that this generation of college athletes now has to navigate. He is not the first college athlete to face gambling addiction, and unfortunately, he will not be the last. Our responsibility as higher education leaders is to create environments that support young people's growth, maturation, and success, fit for the times in which they live. Given that Brendan has taken accountability for his addiction and actions, a brave act in any circumstance, but especially under the intense scrutiny of a national spotlight, we believe that the best path forward for him is on campus, among his teammates, embraced by the strength of this community."

Dear 11 and 12 year olds and their parents:

The full size field is a year or two away. Those 200-250’ “dingers” you’re hitting now will be fly ball outs soon. I know we love those USSSA bats but you’re also a few years away from using BBCOR bats which will take away your “pop” overnight.

The big field is a game changer. Some will make the transition seem easy but for many it has a way of humbling those kids who dominated the small field. Keep working hard. Be careful of thinking the game is easy. Each year from here on out will push you to get better. Will reveal your toughness. Will challenge you everyday.

BTW, that 90’ sprint to first base will make you feel slow!! 🤣🤣 do your sprints!!
