Love to see Clark Lea’s leadership and message of accountability to his players in the wake of not making the NCAAF Playoff. No pity party; excitement to prepare for bowl game. We’ve got the right guy leading our program. ⚓️⬇️ #PaviaForHeisman
Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea talks about what he told his team when they didn’t make the CFP: “The message was, 'We had control over this ... and we did not do enough.' I think it's really important that we take ownership. ... The world expects us to be disappointed right now, but what we are is excited [for the bowl game]."

After decades of waking up every day to train, prepare, and chase what’s next, today I officially retire from professional basketball. Since 1989, every ounce of effort went into this game, so it’s only right that I dignify my career with the acknowledgment it deserves and all the hard work and dedication that brought me here. Some may have considered me to have already been retired, but @thebig3 allowed me to extend my playing days and continue competing at a high level for a living. I never stopped lacing them up, training, and preparing for what was next…until now. Finally, there’s nothing more to chase. From Memphis dreams to global courts, I thank my family, coaches, teammates, trainers, mentors, fans and everyone who supported me along the way. You all helped make this journey unforgettable. Proud to have represented my family and my city on some of the biggest stages in basketball. This journey is complete but now I’m ready to climb my Second Mountain. 🍻 Happy 2025 🎇🎆

Born & raised in Memphis. Reside in Miami. But, Nashville will always feel like HOME. No chance I’d miss my brother’s (@shanfoster_32) jersey retirement after all we shared. Happy to see the “V-Unit” crew & celebrate. #32Forever ps Great win @VandyMBB ⚓️⬇️

Power ends the year on a high note. While Ball Hogs cap off their most successful season in franchise history. We’re excited to see both of these teams back in 2022!

Power cooks Ball Hogs’ bacon! 🥓 @OfficialDeeBee nails the game-winning Free Throw against his former team to lift Power over Ball Hogs!

“Considering the stage, this was the best game I’ve played. It’s something you visualize before the game. I saw myself making shots, and those shots went in in the second half.” - @OfficialDeeBee Looking forward to watching DB go off tonight at 7:30 p.m. #AnchorDown

Man, the home city did its thing today. Was great to see that type of turnout. Pulling for the Tigers.
Memphis is ROCKING 🎸

Probably the most anticipated NBA season I can recall in recent memory. Nice to see the parity throughout the league. Legitimately about 10 title contenders & even the young teams (ATL, SAC, etc) will be exciting to watch. Good luck to all the NBA brothers this season.

No disrespect to any platform, but ranking Kobe 14th on an all-time list and having no Iverson on it at all is what 14 year old kids running meme pages do for a reaction. That’s a desperate move. Both guys are two of the 10 best talents ever, Kobe’s top 3.

As if the Andre Emmett situation wasn’t tragic enough, his Instagram story from 16-18 hours ago — just hours before he was shot — will break your heart
