@Dr_nataliebritt Respect her, but ….. she wasn’t too dominant this year … just saying. And AUSL has even better sticks. Hype is cheap. And that stomp thing ain’t cool.

@Sydney_Supple @FOS Go Karlyn Pickens … the real #1 pick and true team player.

@kinziehansen Depends on what I’m getting paid at my current job. Leaving for more money/equity/benefits happens all the time in the biz world, but non-compete agreements slow that down some.

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

@Sabiha1278 Had nothing to do with your car, but you got exactly what you deserved. The entitlement in your post smells all the way through cyber space. Hope you aren’t a slow learner, too.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@ZitoSalena Well said.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@MeganJoWillis Agree. Too many similar pitches got called a ball or a strike tonight. We are human, but was less consistent tonight. You were the kindest college softball player my daughter ever met … wear it, Lady.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@lubbockonline Horns were the grown ups in the room. If Texas hits and TK is on … game over.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@Texas_D11 Horns were the grown up in the room tonight. Powerful game

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@espn If Texas is hitting, nobody can beat them, but darn TT can really pound the ball.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@iJordanMoore She’s a beast. And she’s been hot lately.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@moseley22 Thank you!

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@Jocelynbriski Lady, you were Bama’s rock all season. So impressed with you. Didn’t win it all, but made a solid run at it. Get some more sticks, keep working the plate and Bama is back in OKC next year. Congrats on a great year. Stay you, stay mentally strong, and let Jesus guide you

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@sdozier15 He’s a great coach. Sorry that you whiffed on that one. Softball is a very tough sport …. Try hitting sometime.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@gobamabraves16 Quit showing your a$$ … how about you pick another sport to be the expert on. Come back strong AV cuz you can play.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@_greatgoose @AlabamaSB Give that young lady a break. Nobody feels worse than her, and I hope she comes back and kicks a$$ next year. Lift you up Ms Vandagriff, and keep battling. You have an awesome Coach.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@crimsonvad3r No … TT Softball just beat you. Alabama had an awesome year, and Briski had a phenomenal year, but yesterday …. TT was pretty tough. Give your ladies and Coach some credit … Bama should be very proud of their softball ladies.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@JennaBecerra01 @UCLASoftball @TaylorTinsley7 She was a total warrior for her team. Unbelievable drive from that Lady. Kudos to you, Taylor, for being the one who got it done. Talk all the HRs you want, & that was epic, but she carried the load in the circle while others were getting the love. Total team Dog for UCLA.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@kaylaf_99 Don’t know what happened, but don’t think the typical college coach would say that. And yeah, I’ll give the TN Coach the benefit of the doubt. Why does this drama always seem to follow the TT prima Donnas ….. they can make it hard to root for them vs the other teams.

[Jerry D. Bell @jdblf2006]

@Redhead4645 @martinamcbride That’s Coward like Martina. Did your concerts, bought some tshirts and cheered you as a native Kansan. Your Nashville elite lib crowd forced you to back out …. Shameful. The people that built you … are disappointed. Peace out.
