Yesterday the University of @SouthernMiss wrote an article about my path to graduation. I am so blessed to have been apart of this university. Years of Adversity was worth it to call the University of Southern Mississippi my alma mater

HORRIBLE: An 8-year-old boy told a 6-year-old girl her dad was waiting for her upstairs. It was a lie, and what happened next was caught on her school’s cameras.
@Grok is this true?

If you're playing RT, it's extremely beneficial to actually pick up your left foot and aim 18 inches inside the guy you're supposed to be scooping in the backside B gap!! Good Grief........I learned a Backside 18 inch cutoff block my 1st day on campus 35 years ago.

They don’t make episodes like this no more.
Smart Guy🎬
My husband invited his mistress to our tenth wedding anniversary dinner, seated her three chairs away from me, and watched me thank her for coming. But the affair wasn’t what destroyed me. It was discovering that almost everyone at that table had helped him hide it.
There were twelve guests, including my parents, my younger sister, my husband’s brother, and friends we’d known for years. He’d reserved a private dining room at a restaurant where dinner cost more than our monthly mortgage. Everyone was laughing, ordering expensive wine, and telling stories about our marriage. The woman sat beside my sister, wearing a delicate gold bracelet identical to one I’d found in my husband’s car six months earlier. He’d claimed it was a gift for his brother’s girlfriend. I might have dismissed the coincidence if I hadn’t watched my sister lean over and whisper, “You okay? I know tonight’s awkward.” The woman nodded and glanced at my husband. Something cold settled in my stomach. When my husband stepped outside to take a call, I followed him into the hallway. “How long?” I asked. His expression changed immediately. “Please don’t do this here.” That was all the confirmation I needed. “How long?” I repeated. “Almost two years,” he admitted. I stared at him. “And they know?” He didn’t answer. When I walked back into the room, nobody asked why I’d been crying. My mother simply reached across the table, squeezed my hand, and whispered, “Sweetheart, just get through dinner.” I realized then that she wasn’t comforting me. She was asking me to cooperate.
#UNC and Bill Belichick should hire Nick Saban as the defensive coordinator. Let the man have fun coaching.

My @SunBelt friends and @SouthernMissFB friends may disagree. But, our league needs @LibertyFootball. Only 1 S team in this top 10, not JMU. @sunbelt_sports needs to add a brand. Or were going to get passed by PA 12 and AAC for good.

October 27th, 2007: One of the best game-winning plays in CFB history, "Miracle in Mississippi"
Great read about a great coach!
In 2013 Jason Eck was changing the oil on lawnmowers and golf carts.
He was a Division I offensive line coach. Western Illinois had fired the head coach, and rather than pay out what it owed the assistants, the school kept them on payroll and sent them to work other jobs on campus.
Eck got the golf course. Then they moved him to a cubicle at the public transit center in Macomb, Illinois.
Here is how he describes it.
"I got transferred to the guy who ran the bookstore and the campus bus system."
Saturday night his New Mexico team is 5 and 1 with the best scoring defense in the country.
He has five kids. Here is what he says about those years.
"We've been in bad debt, bad financial shape. I've got five kids so it was nuts."
The man who ran that bookstore and bus system, Jude Kiah, is the one who talked him out of quitting. Kiah asked him whether he really wanted to walk away from everything he had put in. Eck started hunting jobs instead.
By that July he was the offensive coordinator at Minnesota State.
He walked on at Wisconsin as an offensive lineman. He thought about law school and never took the test. After the Rose Bowl he asked to coach instead.
His own dad coached college basketball. Toledo fired Jay Eck in 1991, less than a week after a one point loss with an NCAA tournament bid on it.
Jason took job after job after that. His wife Kimberly found out he had lost the Ball State job while she was going into labor with their third son.
Then South Dakota State, where John Stiegelmeier told him he would make a really good head coach. Idaho hired him in December of 2021 and he went 26 and 13 there. New Mexico hired him two years ago.
Last season the Lobos won nine games, beat UCLA, made their first bowl since 2016 and sold out a home game for the first time since 2007. He was Mountain West coach of the year.
And one of his linebackers is his son.
Jaxton Eck came out of Brookings, South Dakota with offers from Sioux Falls and Northern State. Division II. He played for his dad at Idaho, and when his dad took the New Mexico job he had North Carolina State, Michigan State and Stanford asking for him.
He went to New Mexico. Last season he had 115 tackles and shared Mountain West defensive player of the year.
Father and son won conference awards in the same season.
Now the part that complicates it. One good year is not a program. New Mexico has been bad for most of the last fifty years, and the hard truth about coaches who win there is that somebody bigger calls.
But here is what Jason Eck says now.
He does not know whether he would ever have become a head coach if his son had not played football.
Thirteen years ago he was changing oil on a lawnmower.
What were you doing right before the job that changed everything for you?

Este niño cristiano es ahora huérfano. Su madre fue asesinada por musulmanes en Nigeria por el «delito» de ser cristiana.
¿Dónde están todos los manifestantes?
¿Dónde están los activistas y podcasters que tanto claman por «los niños»? ¿Por qué guardan silencio los medios de comunicación y los políticos?
Ah, claro… como no pueden culpar a los judíos, no les importa.
Prayers for this service members family. These demonstration are pointless at athletic events. God Speed Sir.
The Pope isn't speaking about the atrocities happening in Sudan. Why? @Pontifex
Never forget our precious sister in Christ and her babies🇸🇩
Murdered in cold blood in Sudan for their faith in Jesus ✝️
I'll never stop sharing their picture.
Look how precious her little family was!!
They went to heaven together
Mama and her sweet babies went to heaven together 💔
Mama and her sweet babies were unalived by selfish hands 😞

🚨WOW!!!
Students at a Georgia High School pranked their principal by staging a "fake fight" at school and calling the Principal to break it up...
...as he rushes in to pull the students apart, they all started singing him Happy Birthday
He's so revealed and happy.

🚨HERO: An 85-year-old grandfather deliberately sits in his living room to be killed by terrorists—tricking them into thinking the home was empty and saving his hiding family!
When armed militants attacked Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 85-year-old Shlomo Ron—one of the founding members of the community—recognized the mortal danger facing his loved ones as gunfire echoed through the streets.
He immediately ordered his wife, two daughters, and grandson into the home's reinforced safe room, refusing their desperate pleas for him to join them inside.
Believing that an empty house might invite a detailed search, Shlomo reasoned that if attackers found an elderly man sitting alone in the front room, they would assume no one else was present and leave after taking his life.
Shlomo calmly sat in his favorite living room armchair and waited as armed assailants broke through the door.
Finding Shlomo alone, the terrorists shot him dead and immediately exited the home without searching the property further, leaving the hidden safe room entirely undiscovered.
Because of his deliberate, calculated self-sacrifice, Shlomo’s wife, daughters, and grandson survived the multi-hour siege unharmed—honoring a hero who gave everything so his family could live.
Heart wrenching!
Imágenes espeluznantes de dos niñas pequeñas corriendo por sus vidas mientras un terrorista palestino las perseguía como a presas.
Disparó a la primera niña en la espalda mientras ella intentaba desesperadamente escapar. La segunda se quedó paralizada, se dio la vuelta y le suplicó que no la matara.
De todos modos, la ejecutó, sin la más mínima vacilación.
Esto es lo que hicieron los palestinistas de Gaza el 7 de octubre.
Nunca lo olvides.
