Great stat from our research team at @CBSSports

Florida is the only power conference team since 1996–97 (formation of the Big 12) to win four straight conference road games each by 19+ points.

A charming rebellious 1-minute announcement⬇️by @Springsteen🇺🇸that “the cavalry is coming”: he & the E Street Band are touring the homeland this spring, “from Minneapolis to Washington D.C…[resisting] our wanna-be king & his rogue gov’t.” Amen, preacher!

Rueben Chinyelu is the only DI (men's or women's), NBA or WNBA player to have at least 80 rebounds in 120 or fewer minutes over any five-game span this century.

[Arman Jovic @PDTScouting]

Florida's Rueben Chinyelu's development has been special to watch in real time, the junior big, has now turned into one of the premier dominant centers in the nation and a legit NBA prospect

Chinyelu is averaging 12.1 PPG, 11.3 RPG on 61.8% in 24.5 MPG for the Gators, in conference play his production has completely spiked on both ends, moves very well, can match onto to smaller guards in the perimeter, playing at an all-time high right now.

Rueben's measurables are also absurd standing at 6'10, 265 pounds with a 7'8 wingspan.

Florida has landed a commitment from popular Jacksonville State defensive line transfer Emmanuel Oyebadejo, his agents @CoachReedLive and @Chris_Coy of @KlutchSports tell me and @chris_hummer.

The 6-foot-7, 320-pounder ranks as one of the top defensive linemen in the portal.

Roald Dahl on Measles: Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her.

'I feel all sleepy,' she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles.

...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children.

Roald Dahl, 1986
