I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft.

Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."

Nate Oats on his contract:

"When my salary goes up a half million dollars every year -- you know how long it took me to make a half million dollars at Romulus? I got paid 4,700 a year to coach basketball for 11 years."

Today's kids don't understand how big of a deal Lou Holtz and Mark May debating at midnight to Rece Davis in judge robes was to my generation. 🫡

This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today.

I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life.

He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.”

He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said.

“Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.”

And, just like that, he started walking again.

Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since.

RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

I went way up into the stands last night during the second half looking for “color” as we writers call it. I talked to an Indiana man with a Hickory “My Team’s On The Floor” t-shirt. Sometimes stories write themselves.

UNBELIEVABLE PLAY BY MENDOZA

No way Bama should have gotten in over Notre Dame. They only have triple the ranked wins, strength of schedule is only 35 spots better and they lost in a conference title game, which Notre Dame is too chickenshit to join.

Absolutely no way.

Lane Kiffin has never been happier, he says.

He hasn’t drank in 5 years, rarely eats red meat or dessert, is reunited with his kids and has used an NIL blueprint & offensive magic to restore glory to Ole Miss.

Is this his story’s final chapter?

“Maybe.”
