Update: it’s been 5+ hours since this moment. I rushed straight to the airport after the game for a cross country flight…so my hair is still in a stinky, damp bun and my skin is sticky and smells like purple Gatorade. Quite literally, still in this moment 😅
Just spoke with my dad, who’s a research scientist and doctor studying CoVid. He believes that student athletes could be safer if they remain with their teams bc they’ll be closely monitored and have more motivation to isolate and avoid social situations.
@Trevorlawrencee
agrees:
Not to mention the players coming from situations that are not good for them/ their future and having to go back to that. Football is a safe haven for so many people. We are more likely to get the virus in everyday life than playing football. Having a season also incentivizes -
Young reporters: This is not normal or ethical. Coaches and players trust us with sensitive information, and if they know that you’re dishonest and don’t take your role seriously, you’ve lost all trust and credibility.

I am stuck in a love triangle.
My flight from Lincoln is severely delayed and everyone on board is grumbling. As we deplane for maintenance, I hear one of the workers call his kid and say, “I’m so sorry. Please tell your brother that he’ll have to walk to school today.” Perspective.
Heartbroken for Jordan Travis. Just two years ago he nearly gave up on football altogether, but stuck with it to bring his “dream school” Florida State back to dominance. He went from being booed on his own field to a Heisman contender. He epitomizes what we love about college
Long before I dreamed of being a sports broadcaster, I dreamed of being a mother. I feel so incredibly lucky to work for a company that fully supports both of these dreams. 2020 has tested all of us...but that makes this silver lining SO much sweeter 🌤 See you Saturday

I have never known love or joy quite like this. Raymond Michael Dorsch V, our little Ray of sunshine, arrived perfectly on his due date (1/12/21) and even let mommy watch the entire National Championship game before heading to the hospital 😅
Aly Raisman’s statement is a must-watch. She not only faces her abuser with strength and poise, but also demands accountability from USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee, and every adult who ignored and shamed numerous victims over the years. THIS is what change looks like 🙌
Crushed to hear of Bill Walton’s passing. He was a legend and larger than life in every way. His passionate curiosity and kindness were so rare and made him a joy to work with. My heart goes out to his wonderful family and beautiful wife, Lori. May the conference of champions

I hate this so much. Spencer has changed so much since high school and that experience made him a more self-aware, humble person. I guarantee 99% of people would regret how they looked if cameras followed them around in high school. Spencer is a good guy, great leader, and this

This is embarrassing for Ohio State fans. Urban Meyer is not the victim here. Where's the rally in support of Courtney Smith and victims of domestic violence? THAT would be much more impactful.

Michigan is going to the playoff because of leaders like Cade McNamara. Their veteran leadership is unique and could very well take them all the way. So happy for this special group.

Good morning to everyone waking up in their family homes, bellies & hearts full. Meanwhile, I’m sitting across from 2 girls in the ATL Delta lounge who are wearing pajamas & slippers and talking about hooking up with their exes from HS this week. Wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else😂

I fully unpacked my suitcase and put it away for the first time since August. Don’t quite know what to do with myself. There are no winners here.
Except for my dogs. They’re thrilled.
Utah football players Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe both wore the number 22, and both lost their lives within this past year. In a couple of weeks, the Utes hope to hoist a Pac-12 Championship trophy in their honor. An unbelievable story of resilience and brotherhood ❤️

That's gonna be all she wrote for USC's Playoff hopes.
Would have been better off starting 11-0, losing at home by 23 in its last game and not advancing to its conference championship game.
Obviously.
Today I join the many hard-working colleagues who have been laid off.
Heartbreaking-but 27 years at ESPN was a good run.
So grateful for a 38 yr career!
Longevity for a woman in this business is something I’m especially proud of.
Next step- a project that gives back. ❤️
devastated. heartbroken. In so much disbelief rn, I wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y’all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. I thought results matter. 13-0 and this roster matches up across any team in those top 4 rankings. I am so sorry. Go Noles!
Ole Miss’ offense is electric and SO much fun to watch and their defense is night and day from last year. Solid week 1 win in a game where they ALMOST didn’t need

Kobe’s influence transcends far beyond basketball; he inspired football players, soccer players, ballerinas...He embodied a confident attitude and competitive spirit that changed so many athletes, and thus all of sports. There is, and will be, no one like him.

I can’t imagine college football without Mike Leach. He was so influential to the game, but he also proved that you can have passions outside of football, which isn’t always the case at the highest level. He was an author, artist, teacher, and all-around curious person.
