Ryan Shazier didn’t just react to Mike Tomlin leaving — he felt it. And when he opened up about what Tomlin meant to him, #SteelersNation heard every word.

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on true freshman Chris Cenac Jr: "I love that kid. He never has a bad day. And I have worn him out. He's never ever not looked me in the eye.. He's never ever complained..Wherever he's playing in the NBA down the road, that team is going to be lucky."

Pete Golding didn't just coach a football team; he saved a season.
To take over in that chaos and lead a Cinderella run to the brink of a National Championship is incredible work.
Be proud of Ole Miss. They found their identity, and more importantly, they found their coach.

So while preaching in Poland, OH this morning, I met a woman, Kathy Stoops! I told her we have Stoops' in KY - Mark and Mike! She said: I know, they are my brothers!! Who would have thought I'd stumble upon a Stoops family reunion in the middle of OHIO? #whoknew #GOCATS #missionaryofmercy @MrsStoops11
