The hill that I will die on is that Jawaan Taylor is a very above average pass blocking tackle that was targeted by NFL officiating because of Cris Collinsworth

The SEC’s grip on the sport was already gone, but tonight triple confirms it. Miami just physically looked way better than the last SEC team standing, and the SEC won’t have a team playing for it all.

The SEC has fallen. It is no longer what it thinks it is.

In a world of Lane Kiffins, be a Chris Klieman. #Big12 #EMAW @KStateFB

[Snyder's Windbreaker @KSUWindbreaker]

I know most of the focus today is going to be on the excitement of Klein coming back, but man give Chris Klieman his flowers.

-Had the Herculean task of following Bill Snyder, actually managed to succeed in that and continue elevating the program.

-Brought us a Big 12 championship in 2022 that led to Arlington and NOLA trips that I’ll cherish forever.

-Always an outstanding ambassador for our program and university.

Thank you Chris

One of the most profound posts on Social Media was this one from Tristan Swartz

It’s illegal to sell milk off of the farm… but it’s perfectly legal to go to the gas station and buy cigarettes and Jack Daniel’s..maybe a vape pipe, 2 liters of diabetes, and a bag of chips

Public safety? Or control?

My son Beacon completed the “Tournament Warrior” feat this weekend at Super 32! He lost his first match to the top seed, then battled back to win five straight and finish with a bronze medal beating the 2, 3, 4 and 5 seeds on the way. Most importantly, he displayed great poise, determination and humility. He’s a fighter. He kept finding a way to stay alive, and it was fun to watch.

We’re not on the national tournament circuit. We haven’t done Tulsa, Reno, Kids Nationals. Winning big tournaments right now isn’t high on our priority list. So when Beacon insisted on coming to Greensboro, North Carolina to compete with his teammates against the best kids in the country at Super 32, I was hesitant. Part of me would rather him just stay at home to train. But more than that, I also didn’t believe he was ready for the caliber of kids I knew he’d run into. I thought about shielding him from potentially getting his butt kicked.

After those initial thoughts, I reframed my perspective and decided to register him. Here are a few important ideas I’ve settled on:

1. Seek challenges — Adversity helps us develop, build character and get closer to the wrestler/man we eventually will become. The harder the challenge, the bigger the window for growth.

2. Wins and losses go into the same bucket. The ultimate goal is to become greater later. Until then we’re just having fun and collecting data — figuring out ways to get better.

3. Prepare them, don’t scare them. I didn’t show him the bracket. I didn’t tell him the names of anyone in his weight class, I didn’t even tell him who he’d have next round. Just bring your best stuff. Who your opponent is, is less important than the energy and intensity you bring to the match. Remember — it’s not about WHO you wrestle, but rather HOW you wrestle.

4. Ignore other parents. Most people have great intentions, but poor advice. Don’t let them project their insecurities on you. They usually have no idea what they’re talking about. Listen to your coaches instead.

5. Let your kid cry. It means they care. You don’t have to pacify them immediately after a loss. Let them sit with their emotions for a little while and learn to handle difficult moments internally.

6. Don’t yell at your kids when they lose. Self explanatory.

7. Let them eat. A full belly makes a happy wrestler. There’s way too much emphasis on going down in weight in hopes of performing better or placing higher. Bigger doesn’t always mean better. If the weight class doesn’t make sense, or you don’t feel like you can compete at the weight, stay home and wait for another opportunity. STOP cutting your kids.

8. Find a club home and stick with it. Most wrestlers have too many chefs in the kitchen. Some wrestlers are regularly attending 2-3 clubs a week with no real identity to their wrestling. More coaches aren’t the answer. Pick one club, trust the process and let it ride.

9. Dont leave the tournament when your wrestler loses. Surround your kids with positive teammates and parents willing to be mat-side and cheer on the squad even if they’ve been knocked out of the tournament. Strong communities stay to support one another no matter what!

10. Dont get too low on your kid’s losses or too high on their success. Celebrate the wins but also remember that it’s just wrestling. All of the college coaches in the arena were watching the high school matches. Not one of them was recruiting the 8u or 11u tournament. It’s not that big of a deal yet.

I realized this weekend that it’s not my job to clear the path for my kids, but only to prepare them for it. Beacon is no better a wrestler today than he was when he walked into the arena yesterday, but now he knows he belongs. And that itself was well worth the risk.

They sell that same seed to Brazil for less $ than the US and allow Brazilian farmers to keep the seed they grow and replant it. In the USA that was common practice until they made it a criminal offense in the late 1990's

Paying farmers with tariff money will increase the cost of everything.

This isn't a handout, it is a drowning.

Thank you for your strong witness for Christ @charliekirk11. Thank you for pursuing truth and leading your family as a husband and father. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Asking again after no response. Can you publish your corn crop yield model update? If not, it seems very suspicious to only publish your model results when it was at the high of the year unless it’s higher now which we would only know if you published it. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
