@NSUCoachJones People should give both of these coaches more grace. NSU coach defending his players, and rightfully emotional, and the ISU coach couldn’t have heard what was said, so he didn’t understand where the NSU coach’s emotions were coming from.

@EmmanuelAcho When Jerome Bettis called tails, but the referee claimed he called heads. Worse than any penalty. Ref couldn’t get the coin toss right. The easiest part of their job

@JackMacCFB Bro that is quite an abbreviated story. You missed that he bailed on Louisville first for the NFL. Then left the Falcons notes on their locker when he left for Arkansas. Then Louisville took him back after his fall from grace, only to fire him after 5 seasons.

@nocontextracin See a man wearing that today and you know he’s about to cash in some lottery tickets to buy a pack of camel lights and a 6 pack of Mickey’s big gulps - something perfect to drink and smoke on the way home. That’s a look that’s still alive and unwell throughout the south

52 fouls in 32 minutes of basketball. That is 1 foul called every 37 seconds. @tssaa - No way a game should be called that tight. If these kids wanted to shoot free throws all day they could have went up to @Dollywood and had some fun at the county fair

@TJ3rd_ I would agree with coach Nix - that was an insulting question. 22 titles, 9 in a row, and you gloss over those accomplishments and go right into the narrative of ‘they should move up a class.’ Telling the kids’ stories should be the narrative of high school sports.
