I lost a part of myself that day and I’ve never been the same. Just gotta accept it at this point. Laughing but very serious.

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

I will watch this 1,000 times in my life

[Michael @nkypio]

Seeing a lot of stuff like this. This tribalism and binary approach is hollowing us out.

Charlie Kirk was killed in a senseless act of political violence. Renee Nicole Good was killed in a senseless act of state sponsored violence. Both can be, and in fact are true.

[David Leavitt 🎲🎮🧙‍♂️🌈 @DavidLeavitt]

Isn’t it interesting how most of the people who demanded respect and reverence for Charlie Kirk have been silent about Renee Nicole Good? 🤔

Daughter is 7 weeks old- she had life saving surgery day 1 of life. I spent 2 weeks standing over her bassinet in the NICU, crying in the middle of the night, asking God why this was happening to my daughter and begging for strength to persevere while working 7 days a week in the middle of the NFL season. Wife and I haven’t slept more than 4 hrs/night since Nov. Last night, while holding her at 2 am, she briefly stopped screaming and made eye contact with me and smiled for the first time. No amount of success/money/fame/worldly reward has even sniffed the amount of purpose and fulfillment that single moment brought me.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why we went from mass producing this to mass producing this. The second version is much more complicated. You’ve got all these different roof lines, for example. But the first one is much more attractive.

Football school

[Jacob Tamme @JacobTamme]

Mark Stoops reset the culture of Kentucky football. He brought toughness, physicality, and grit at a time when the program desperately needed all three. More than that, the high points of his tenure here fostered belief. Streaks ended. Bowls won. Standards risen. Under his leadership, Kentucky became a program that, at our best, could compete with anyone.

I’ll remember his era as one defined by competitiveness and genuine excitement. I was in the stands for much of it, and saw with my own eyes the energy around our state and inside Kroger Field on gameday when Kentucky football was right. For a long stretch, Coach Stoops made it right. I am personally grateful to Mark for everything he has dedicated to this program over the last 13 years.

Recent seasons have been disappointing. The combination of factors required to win at the highest level of college football has shifted dramatically.

For Kentucky football to take the next step, it’s time for the next chapter.

Let’s go make it happen.

[Jeremy Jarmon @JJarmon99]

Mark Stoops took over a program where hope was the size of a mustard seed and he demonstrated what so many former players and loyal fans had always suspected: that Kentucky Football could be more.

He provided proof that the right charismatic coach with a strategy, access to resources, and a strong competent staff, could give UK football an opportunity to reach heights unfamiliar to a traditional underdog. The energy he and his staff brought in 2013 was a shock to the system, a promise that resonated through the years, building steadily until it peaked into the roar of two ten-win seasons. He made us relevant.

For so many of us, his teams gave us unforgettable Saturdays that turned into lifelong memories. Personally, at the peak of that belief, I trusted in his program so completely that I scheduled a night wedding, on a game-day, vs UofL, knowing the day would start and end with joy. That’s the kind of faith he inspired.

More than that, he made former players and their families feel special and valued, reconnecting the program to its heart and soul - The Letterwinners

It wasn’t supposed to end this way. The recent struggles don’t erase the architecture he built. The foundation is still here: a gold-standard league, motivated supporters, strong facilities, and a fan base that now knows what relevance tastes like.

So, let’s be clear: I would throw my support behind a 2013 Mark Stoops hire again and again. Without hesitation.

Thank you, Coach Stoops, for pouring your heart into our program. Thank you for the memories. You showed us what was possible. That is your legacy.

With deepest gratitude and best wishes for the future.

I think one of the saddest (or strangest) parts of the birth rate decline is going to be the quiet disappearance of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. I'm not even particularly close to most of my extended family but there's a sense of grounding that comes from knowing I have so many relatives just out there somewhere

[Nicholas Decker @captgouda24]

I really do think liberals need to freak out about birth rates. Culture is passed down, like it or not, and the forces of evil can and will produce more children than you. Those children vote, and they will oppress you one day. So we need good people to have more kids!

Only at Kentucky.

It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones. It’s the phones.

People being like “oh you care about Kirk being murdered but you don’t care about school shootings”

I care about both because I’m not a fucking psychopath. I’m talented that way.

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

My comments today on KSR on the awful news yesterday

[ZachGG @zachgg]

I didn’t agree with Kirk. At all.

If your gut reaction to what you
just saw is to look for a quick “gotcha” moment or make jokes to farm likes on a platform owned by a guy you also probably don’t like then you are being desensitized to a degree that is bad for you, your community, and this country.

Political violence is wrong and horrific. We do not want that door opened in this country. This is not OK.

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

Don’t let your own political leanings or beliefs disallow you to feel empathy.

You don’t have to vote the same as someone to feel sadness that two kids may not have a Dad tomorrow.

Pretty simple stuff.

[Edge @SomethingEra2]

Kinda sad this instantly got turned into left vs right. Were all people man. This is not the way.

[Yoni Smolyar @YoniSmolyar]

i'm on the side of whoever doesn't shoot people with opposing views

[J.P. Hovey @jhovey34]

As someone who loves social media, I can confidently say the world would be better off if it never existed.

People have never hated people they’ve never met more than they do right now.

Politicians wouldn’t be able to preach division to the masses the way they do now.

The majority of ppl are tired of hate and division but the minority of ppl (politicians, news media outlets) are the loudest and try to manipulate ppl into hating each other.

I’ll continue to try and spread as much positivity on my pages much as possible.

Dont let them win 🤝
