That’s 4:33 minutes per mile ‼️😱

Rick Pitino putting the last bullet in his "captain" really does make him the Godfather

If your name is Mark Pope, tonight is not the night to search your name on X.

[Cam Cheuvront @CChevs83]

@Boogiechevs Heard that.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

This is another one for the books. We need more teachers like her.

Let them think.

Rick Barnes in March has finally broke the curse . Well deserved. Good man.

"We gotta stop listening to Matt Jones when it comes to Kentucky Basketball." 🗣️

Boogie Cousins does not approve all of the opinions on his alma mater 😅

Seven years later, this coach just beat the 1 seed defending champs

Big day for the state of Iowa.

If your analytics are indicating Jasper Johnson needs minutes it is time to question the model.

Billy Richmond and Acuff are saving both Cal and Kenny Pain’s career. Amazing feat in itself

Herb Sendek with a nice answer on the reflection now and later on for this Santa Clara team

"Sports is a tremendous vessel to enjoy relationships. My father was able to be in the stands with other family members, the relationships you have with your staff. The game is a vessel to accomplish that and that's what you take away. Any season, even ones that you don't win as many, they have the same outcome ultimately."

Gout Gout was at Ipswich Grammar School to play soccer. He had never trained as a sprinter. He was twelve years old, wearing sand shoes, and somebody told him to line up for a race at the school carnival.

The kid next to him was wearing spikes. He had won nationals.

Gout left him in the dust.

His classmate Tyson Walker was in the race too. "Everyone there stopped and watched," Walker recalled. "We had GPS athletics the next week and he broke every record and just didn't stop. He's just kept going faster."

A coach named Di Sheppard saw him run that day. She told him he could be an Olympic medalist. He later said it was the first time anyone had ever told him anything like that. He was twelve. He joined her squad and started training twice a week.

Here is where the story gets strange.

At 14 he ran 10.57 in the 100m, the fastest ever by an Australian under 16. At 15 he broke the national U18 200m record. At 16 he clocked 10.04 in a heat, then 10.17 legal in the final, then woke up the next morning and ran 20.04 in the 200m, breaking Peter Norman's Australian record from the 1968 Olympics. That record had stood for 56 years. Usain Bolt saw the footage, posted a photo, and wrote "He looks like young me."

The Bolt comparison is worth sitting with. Bolt didn't race 100 meters professionally until he was 21. His first professional 100m was 10.03. Gout Gout ran 10.00 flat at 18.

And his coach still only puts him in the gym two days a week. She's managing the fact that his body is still growing. The power phase of his development hasn't started. He is running these times on stride length and raw top-end speed alone.

His parents are Dinka, from South Sudan. They fled to Egypt, then to Australia, two years before he was born. Third of seven children. The family name was misspelled during transliteration from Arabic. It was supposed to be Guot. His father has been trying to change it back because "gout" is a disease name.

The kid kept running.

Brisbane 2032. Home Olympics. He'll be 24, the same age Bolt was when he set the 100m world record in Berlin. Adidas already signed him through that year.

The fastest man in Australian history started in sand shoes at a school carnival. Nobody told him to stop.

March has arrived

[Cam Cheuvront @CChevs83]

In retrospect, it probably wasn’t the best decision to give Mitch Barnhart unfettered power.

[Cam Cheuvront @CChevs83]

The contrast in Pitino’s grit and overall energy at 73 years old and Mark Pope is striking. It’s time to bring him home

[Johnnies Highlights @JohnniesTape]

The program was dead.

This man walked into the building.

St. John’s Basketball became 1985 again.

Thank you, Rick

[Cam Cheuvront @CChevs83]

No time for hypotheticals. But he does win #9 if they bring him home. Redemption.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Serious Question:

If Rick Pitino never left Kentucky in 1997 for the Boston Celtics, how many national titles would he have if he stayed in Lexington?

Five? Six? More?

One of the best to ever do it.

If Calipari wins the SEC Championship there will be some noise in the Bluegrass.
