“Delayed gratification was taught to us by the stoics. It is one of the greatest attributes.”
Another all-time line from Fernando Mendoza—this one on Stoicism 🤣👏
Talk about something you actually know about. My father has been farming close to 10k acres in northwest Alabama for 45 years. You have ZERO clue what actually goes into farming and agriculture.
But keep growing your cute tomatoes in your backyard and call yourself a farmer 👍
Love farming as a business model.
Water and sunlight, the two main ingredients, are literally free.
Money grows out of the freaking ground!
Doesn't get any better.
Both can be true:
1) Auburn should’ve won a lot more games this year with good coaching and situational awareness.
2) I’ve never seen a team get more bad calls called against them.
@dapp6410 Coach Freeze is a great man. He was the perfect fit at Auburn except for the main thing he was hired to do and that was win football games.
It didn’t work out. Sucks. Everything was in place to win minus the offense.
Onward.
Auburn C Dylan Cardwell said the other day that associate head coach Steven Pearl was the toughest guy to get a compliment from
so I asked him today if this was the best stretch of basketball he's seen Cardwell play in his career

Took UConn last year (best college team in a long time). That was easy. I’ll take Auburn this year. Multiple scoring options. Battled hardened out of the incredibly deep SEC plus I like the coach.
Michael Jordan on putting winning over feelings:
“I pulled people along when they didn't want to be pulled.
I challenged people when they didn't want to be challenged.
And I earned that right because my teammates who came after me didn't endure all the things that I endured.
Once you joined the team, you lived at a certain standard that I played the game, and I wasn't gonna take anything less.
Now if that meant I had to go in there and get in your ass a little bit, then I did that.
You ask all my teammates, "The one thing about Michael Jordan was he never asked me to do something that he didn't fucking do.”
When people see this, they're gonna say, "Well, he wasn't really a nice guy, he may have been a tyrant."
Well, that's you.
Because you never won anything.
I wanted to win, but I wanted them to win and be a part of that as well.
Look, I don't have to do this. I'm only doing it because it is who I am.
That's how I played the game.
That was my mentality.
If you don't wanna play that way, don't play that way.”
