The lie we tell ourselves.

“Once we win one I’ll be happy.” - Sean McVay

Winning doesn’t fill the void. It just moves the finish line.

The real joy?
The grind. The growth. The people.

Wrigley Field as God intended it: two-thirds empty and filled with the drunk and unemployable.

“Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” - Doug Collins

What happens when kids never learn to fail?

They quit when it gets hard.

Because no one let them practice getting back up.

There is over 4500 Division 1 football players that have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal as of today. This represents roughly one-third of all Division 1 players. I’m not sure all of these players will find a home. Never envisioned this occurring in college athletics

I wish I could go back to 1985 and explain to people that in the future you have to win the Rose Bowl to play in the Peach Bowl.

Merry Christmas!

[Vinnie Vinzetta @VVinzetta]

Jeff Traylor said today that he'll be without roughly 10-20 players next week for the bowl game due to injuries, and more frustratingly, NIL grabs and the Transfer Portal. MUST LISTEN. It's the most important story in college football that isn't going away. @kens5 #BirdsUp

Most HS athletes won’t play beyond HS. That’s why programs should be built for all kids, not just the few who’ll move on. The lessons, memories & growth should belong to everyone who wears the jersey. Build environments where all feel valued—HS sports should be about HS athletes!

@MasseyBball @BBallMuseumIL @GalesburgMBB @Galesburg_HS @Streaksbball @WGILSports @dekalb_bball @ThomSigel The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Who knew what a great coaching career would develop from this beginning? Evan was a great mentor to many other coaches!

Why do some sports parents sit alone?

- No drama.
- No complaining.
- They don’t want to hear ignorance.
- No badmouthing coaches or officials.
- They just want to relax & enjoy the game.

👉 Be part of the solution. Not the problem.
