⚡🇬🇧🇺🇸 JD Vance: “Defending your culture isn’t radical. It’s reasonable.” “To everybody in the UK who rejects that idea, I’d encourage them to just keep on going It’s okay to want to defend your culture. It’s okay to want to live in a safe neighborhood. It isn’t radical.”

When you put weak people in leadership positions, your organization will literally rot right out from underneath you.

Do you know how outrageous it is that the last 3 hires Kansas has made are Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self.

This was part of Skip Holtz's eulogy to his father Lou Holtz. Skip said that when people came to visit his father in hospice, the very first thing Lou asked them was, “What can I do for you?” That's so powerful. Powerful enough for me to want to be a better person. God knew what he was doing when he made "Sunshine" that was Lou's nickname growing up. My heart hurts so much for so many reasons. Selfishly because Lou was the last man to win a National Championship at Notre Dame. Unselfishly because he meant SO much to SO many people. Not one seat in the Basiclica was vacant. There were people standing for an entire hour on the side of the pews. Plus so much more. I hope, truly, to become even half the man Lou Holtz was. A man whose first question was always, “What can I do for you?” A man whose light never dimmed, even in his final days. A man whose legacy will outlive all of us.

Kansas deciding not to storm the court after beating 23-0 No. 1 Arizona at home is some high level blue blood activity. I honestly don’t know if there’s another program in the county that wouldn’t storm in that situation.
