Man, it’s rough taking a giant loss then having to go back to school, then show up the next day and the next.
Coaches, you (we) do more than people realize. It affects us too. I hope you’re ok. I’m with you
Couldn’t get it done again this year. Almost every boy ran one of the best races of the year, we just weren’t fast enough. I feel like we did everything right this year. This is our best training, most committed group. I just don’t know what I’m missing
Grateful for them still.
If today is our last practice, then there’s no regrets on the year. We’ve done everything possible in our power to be successful, and regardless of results, we’ve found that success this year.
But, Lord willing, we’re back on Thursday
To be fair, they were having a lively discussion about Cyberpunk 2077, a game and franchise I’m (concerningly) familiar with.
They’re missing a few key elements of the whole point, but it is cool when kids are into media that you’re into
Today’s adventure in cross country:
A lady got out of her car to yell at my boys for scaring her. They’re all wearing reflector vests, and on the sidewalk. Her car is in the driveway, and is not on. Not sure who really scared who

We expect more out of you, and will not be compensating you for it.
You’ll be held to a higher standard, be responsible for an expensive vehicle, and the lives of some 50 souls on board.
You’ll drive this oversized, under maintained vehicle early before school, after school (maybe even pulling you out of practice… the very thing you’re applying to do), and late nights after games. You’ll do it on limited sleep, but we’ve opened you up to severe punishment by the DMV if you make a mistake while driving.
You’re expected to drive pre-game. We don’t care if it interferes with your ability to mentally prepare for the game. You’ll drive post-game. We don’t care if you’re riding an emotional roller coaster, coming off an adrenaline rush from a victory or upset due to a loss.
You’ll gladly jump into this role without the compensation or we’ll deduct your already minuscule wages.

Coach Mike Gundy reflected on his 21 years at @CowboyFB 🧡
From today’s practice:
Two (maybe more) dudes are sitting in their garage watching NFL highlights from yesterday at full volume on a 72” TV at 6:00 AM. Honestly, huge respect. I’m genuinely envious
Could Be The Move
