2011 I was picked for the All-Star game in Delmarva with Ryan Minor throwing to me in the home run derby. Twin Brother Damon was my hitting coach for a season in New Orleans. Both class acts. Truly great individuals. Proud former OU athletes. Praying for @ReedMinor and Family 🙏
After a courageous and hard fought battle I’m sad to say that Ryan lost his fight with cancer this afternoon. He truly was the best twin brother you can ask for. His family and I want to thank everyone for the prayers and support during this time. BOOMER SOONER..
Bo Nix ended his presser with a monologue about his career.
"I'm gonna miss college football. It was my goal my entire life to be a college QB and to win a national championship... Just a lot of emotions. A lot going on that man you wish you could change... I'm going to be okay. We're all going to be okay. We're going to get up tomorrow and go back to work and see what life provides in the future."
Last weekend was awesome 🙌
Had an absolute blast at the Texas Tech baseball reunion, reuniting with a bunch of old teammates I haven’t seen in ages.
One of the highlights of the weekend was seeing my name up on the donor wall and on an office.
The crazy thing about this is : back in the day, there was this pitching coach that said I wasn’t cut out for Texas Tech.
Later that year he gets fired, and in comes Coach Lance Brown, who convinced the legendary Larry Hays to offer me a scholarship. Fast forward several years, and I’ve had the privilege to play in the big leagues, earn the honor of being an allstar, and now look up at a wall with my name on it on a beautiful brand new facility.
Talk about a full circle moment
Here’s the moral of the story: no matter how many “qualified” folks try to bring you down and tell you you’re not good enough, you gotta stay focused and keep working your tail off. Believe in yourself, hustle hard, and there’s nothing in this world that can stop you from achieving greatness. 💯
So, to all the doubters out there, Walden included (pitching coach), I say this: Keep doubting, ‘cause I’ll keep proving you wrong. It’s all logs on the fire 🔥 💪🏾
@devrodriguez3 I’m not sold on him for a few reasons. Attitude being the biggest. It’s all fun and games when everything is going your way but true colors normally show when times get difficult.
“You look each other in the eye and tell each other the truth. People do not talk to each other hard enough. Especially parents. Parents overall are not as tough on their kids as they should be and don’t allow people to be tough. Teachers, coaches. You hold people accountable and tell them the truth,” Coach Krzyewski

Was yelled at all the times at games and I’ll never forget moments of being in the Outfield and thinking to myself that some of these people have some deep underlying issues if they need to yell some of the things they were saying. Doubt I would have left tickets
I've never seen or heard of a extremely successful peaceful person go out of there way to demean, criticize, hate, cuss, lie & belittle someone they've never met before in their lives. I once told a fan at a baseball game if it makes u feel better to come here and boo me every day I will leave u tickets. #CoachPrime
Sad day for the sport of basketball

“Be Authentic”
*Know who you are.
Be who you are.
Like who you are.
*Don’t dishonor the uniqueness of you. You’re far too valuable to fall for that lie. Instead, deliver the one product absolutely no one can copy.
JUST BE YOU. God makes no junk.
He made only one of you.
