Durant girls basketball team carries memory of Coach Rob, gets chance to heal on OSSAA run For the Durant girls basketball program, reaching the OSSAA state quarterfinals offered a change to heal after the deaths of coach Will Robinson and his daughter, Clara.

I don’t consider the history. Just storm the court. Have fun.

It’s why I celebrated OU storming the field vs. Alabama when others scoffed because of their history. Relax. It’s sports. Have fun.

And these are college kids. They’ll remember that forever.

Still do. At the time, it would have been the right call!

Finished “The Day of the Jackal” last night. What an insanely great show!

Season 2 can’t get here fast enough (probably late next year, I know.)

Rickey Henderson, Baseball’s Flamboyant ‘Man of Steal,’ Dies at 65 (Gift Article) Widely regarded as the greatest leadoff hitter in baseball history, he was not just one of the game’s most exciting players but also one of its most eccentric.

It truly is! I got this Traeger off Marketplace around a month ago. First thing I did was bologna. Pretty safe starting point to make sure everything worked. And it was so good.

My nephew requested it tonight.

The progression of my pork hurt so far. Got bologna on too.

Hosting some of the in-laws for Christmas today.

The best start to a Saturday:

Wake up early with Koehn, put a pork butt on the smoker, go get donuts.

Enjoy said donuts and Bluey together while others in the house sleep.

I’m not built to handle Quail Springs, especially Walmart, at the holidays.

Get me the hell out of here!

Just looking at the 2025 calendar for no reason.

WCWS: May 29-June 6
NBA Finals, Game 1: June 5

Maybe it’s the rocker nap I took with my youngest tonight talking, but I’m tired of reading about the “poor” Rangers this offseason.

Spend the damn money and figure out the TV deal and everything else later.

The money is there.

Oh, it’s the dream year for Yankees haters.

Soto plays very well in the postseason. Yankees make the World Series and lose.

Then Soto leaves … for the Mets!

Soak it all in, Yankees haters!

My take on this golden at-bat nonsense:

Yes! Now, any chance MLB makes the games available to purchase? I ask only because MLB.tv only goes back to the previous season, so next year those games go away.

Also, I really like the Higashioka deal.

I don’t know what is the bigger Rangers news this evening.

The World Series documentary finally arriving next week.

or …

Kyle Higashioka signing to split time with Jonah Heim.

…

…

I’ll go documentary. Finally.

Now, MLB just needs to make all five games available to purchase.

The Oklahoman sports department puts together #okpreps All-State teams every year for football, basketball, baseball and — for the first time in Sunday's fishwrap edition — softball.

Whoa. That’s awesome! I’ll pass it along. Thanks!

Well, it might work with Snell and Glasnow. Combined, they make one ace with the amount of innings they generally throw.

The Dodgers rotation is insane (if healthy, which we all know won't happen). Plus, there will be innings limits on some. And Snell/Glasnow rarely throw a ton of innings.

I don’t believe he would have gotten in or maybe even should be in. But Michael Young should have been on the ballot longer than one season.

Ian Kinsler should get a multi-year run as well.

Neither will have JAWS or similar metrics to get in. But they had better careers than most realize.

I am that way a little myself. But I just watched all three Deadpool movies to refresh myself and watch the new one for the first time.

D&W is so much fun, especially with the superhero cameos. Totally rejuvenating for me.

I finally watched “Deadpool & Wolverine” this week.

How did nobody ever talk about this movie? Why did nobody tell me how amazing it is?

The trick to being a Dallas Cowboys fan nowadays is to just look away.

I've just lost interest in caring. It's a totally unserious organization.

The Rangers make that easy.

Oh. My bad. I’ll keep it down …
