Good sportsmanship after the game by #Auburn and Milwaukee after their three games this weekend.
The regional No. 4 seed gave the national No. 4 seed a great series this weekend.
#Auburn from an Angel's eye view...✈️
Thanks to Commander Lilly Montana—#Auburn University alum and Naval ROTC graduate—the Blue Angels arrived on the Plains last week in a flyover more than a year in the making.
Now serving as Blue Angel No. 8 and weapons systems officer, Montana also helped coordinate the schedule that made it possible...bringing her journey from Auburn student to Naval aviator full circle over campus skies. #WarEagle https://t.co/tQI0sU10lz

My mom wanted to send me homemade pickles. But I said ‘no’.
I was 27, living in New York, working on Wall Street. I didn't need pickles shipped across the world. The shipping would cost more than buying them here.
Three years later, I read the psychologist take on what I'd actually done. When you reject someone's offer to help, you're not just declining assistance. You're declining their need to matter to you!
Benjamin Franklin figured this out in 1736. He had a rival in the Pennsylvania legislature who hated him. Instead of trying to win him over with favors, Franklin asked the rival to lend him a rare book.
The rival agreed. They became lifelong friends. It's called the Ben Franklin effect.When people do something for you, they convince themselves they must like you. Otherwise, why would they help?
My mom didn't want to send pickles because I needed them.
She wanted to send them because SHE needed to feel useful to me. To feel like despite the ocean between us, she still had a role in my life.
Every time I said "I'll manage," I was taking that away from her. Here's what I learned after a decade of living away from home:
→ Accepting small favors isn't about you needing help.
It's about letting people you love feel needed.
Your dad wants to transfer ₹5000 even though you earn well?
Let him.
Your friend wants to pick you up from the airport even though Uber exists?
Say yes.
Your partner wants to make you tea even though you can make it yourself?
Accept it.
The people who love you don't want to solve your big problems. They want to matter in your small moments.
Let them. #lifelesson
When I was a kid, my mom got a a lot of flack for the way she homeschooled us.
She almost unschooled us. She made us do math, but not much. We learned a lot of history because she talked about it constantly. But almost nothing was formal.
The people who ragged on her were usually school-at-home types. Some of them even had a “school room,” complete with desks and chalkboards.
We spent our time with a *profound* amount of boredom. We read encyclopedias for fun. @BowtiedWTRbear read every book in our library, which was vast. My younger brother tore apart computers. I played piano and bass guitar and day dreamed. We didn’t do nearly enough chores and an equal amount of “school work.”
By all measures, we should have been abysmal failures.
But I’m a nurse and my brothers are engineers and my sister works in accounting, all of us with impressive resumes in our fields.
All of us are married with children and happy. Actually, all of us are very much practicing Christians and very conservative politically. We all have three or more kids.
The ones who ragged on my mom have less stellar records.
I think about the differences a lot. Our family was/is FAR from perfect. We’ve had some family drama and nothing comes easy, it seems.
The difference, I think, is that my mom didn’t focus on academics. Her entire goal for us was to grow up to love Jesus. That’s it.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
“And I
I chose the path less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
