I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?
Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."
Amanda Anisimova on why she did not answer that question about playing under the American flag:
"In my other press conference, the fact that I didnโt want to answer a question that was obviously intended for a headline and clickbait, that was my right. It had nothing to do with my political views or anything like that. The fact that people assume that they know my stance on certain important topics is just wrong. Itโs not factual. Itโs tough but Iโve learned to get used to it.โ

The great irony here is that Boise State beating Oklahoma is arguably the most memorable CFB postseason moment of all time and not many can tell you what happened in the last four Playoffs.
But nearly every fan can vividly remember Kemba Walker, UMBC, Fairleigh Dickinson, George Mason, VCU, Saint Peterโs, Oral Roberts, FGCU, CJ McCollum, Stephen Curry, Ali Farokhmanesh, Kris Jenkins and so, so much more.
Amazing sports moment. Unfortunately, Washington didn't have a number next to their name, so Joel Klatt thinks it's the stupidest thing in world history
โThere is nothing more important to college football fans than ensuring we have the most boring, sterile National Championship Game between Georgia and Ohio State in an NFL Stadium each yearโ
I have a take:
What talking heads donโt understand is that college sports at its core is not about crowning a national champion. Itโs about regional pride, beating your rival, and vibes. Those who disagree would be far happier covering the NBA or NFL.
Quintessential American story of assimilation: grandparents emigrate here - from Cuba - in search of a better life, and two generations later, their son is a star in the world's most American sport. And RW trolls are still miserable because Mendoza is bilingual.
