Look at the response to this tweet and tell me that regional pride isn't what drives passion college athletics.
The toxicity of this quadrant would be something to behold:

Every patient in the children's hospital next to Iowa's football stadium got a letter this week from the team that came to beat Iowa. Ohio State plays there today. Ranked fifth in the country. They are the visitors. They wrote to the kids anyway, and the reason why is the part nobody is talking about. The letter is dated Friday, October 2nd, 2026, on Woody Hayes Athletic Center letterhead, signed by head coach Ryan Day and the entire Ohio State football team. It takes the word that program is built on and hands it to them. At Ohio State, we talk often about what it means to compete, to stay together and to give your best in the moment in front of you. Those are defining characteristics of our culture which is built on FIGHT, meaning every day is a FIGHT to be the best version of yourself. Then this. We know you are facing challenges that take real strength. You do not have to take on everything at once. Focus on the current step, the current day and the people who are there to support you. Now here is the context that makes this more than a nice gesture. A children's hospital is not a random place for Ryan Day to send a letter. It is the thing he does. In 2019 Day and his wife Christina created the Christina and Ryan Day Fund for Pediatric and Adolescent Mental Wellness at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus. Reports put the family commitment at a million dollars. The fund produces something called a Day Time Break curriculum, free lesson kits on mental health that go to middle school and high school classrooms. More than 200,000 of them have gone out, in English and in Spanish. Thirty dollars puts one in a teacher's hands. He and Christina have also given to Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine. Day has said he wants Ohio State to be a place where people can be open and honest about their mental health, and he has explained the whole thing in seven words. Based on the way that I grew up. So when his team walks into a stadium with a children's hospital looming over the east side, and the whole place turns around at the end of the first quarter to wave at the twelfth floor, that is not a tradition Ryan Day had to have explained to him. He told his players about it in advance anyway, so none of them would be caught standing there confused. And he sent letters to the kids in the windows first. Be honest about it. It is paper. It does not change a diagnosis or shorten a stay, and every program in the country does community work with a camera somewhere nearby. But an Iowa fan posted a photo of that letter yesterday and wrote this underneath it. Thank you Buckeyes, but GO HAWKS. That is exactly how it is supposed to work.

10 years ago today, Lamar Jackson & Deshaun Watson gave us one of the greatest QB battles of all-time as No. 5 Clemson beat No. 3 Louisville, 42-36. 🍿 Where does the time go???

Jeff wants to be here. Jeff loves Louisville. Previous Head Coaches that were here were looking to drop us like a hot potato at the first opportunity. Jeff is a very good coach that is close to being a great coach. I’m going to give him some grace and some time to get there.

39 days before Louisville faced Alabama in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl, linebacker MARK SANDER was lying in a hospital after being STABBED 🔪🩸in the abdomen. The morning after Thanksgiving in 1990, Sander stepped in to break up a fight outside a Louisville bar where he had previously worked as a bouncer. He initially didn’t even realize he had been stabbed. The wound was so severe that he required surgery to repair his colon and intestines and needed 23 staples to close it. The knife reportedly missed his liver by roughly a quarter of an inch and his heart by about an inch. But as paramedics were taking him away, Sander was already thinking about football: “Just get me to that bowl game.” Even Howard Schnellenberger said it would take a “miraculous recovery” for Sander to make it back. He made it. On January 1, 1991, Sander was in the starting lineup against Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl. Early in the game, he knocked down a third-down pass as Louisville’s defense helped set the tone for a dominant afternoon. The Cardinals jumped out to a 25-0 first-quarter lead and eventually defeated Alabama 34-7 in one of the defining victories in Louisville football history. A stabbing. Major surgery. And 39 days later, he was back on the field against Alabama. That’s a Louisville sports story. #ALouisvilleSportsStory

Today, Monday, September 28, our country lost a hero. Kentucky State Trooper Hayden Phillips lost his life in the line of duty today while conducting a traffic stop of a violent criminal on I-65. Trooper Phillips, unit 369 of post 3 in Bowling Green, was a Glasgow son who put on the badge to protect the rest of us, and never made it home. His family — including his wife and their three young kids — are now left to plan a funeral they NEVER should've had to plan. Not to mention facing bills, lost income, and a void in their lives that money can’t fill. But love, support, and financial assistance can help carry it. If you can spare a few dollars, we can take some of the weight off their shoulders. Every dollar goes to them—for funeral costs, immediate needs, and whatever else they need while they grieve. This is not a KSP fund. This is Americans taking care of our own. givesendgo.com/trooperphilli…

13 years in government school and an 18-year-old can’t build a house, work on a car, grow food, read a budget, or tell you how their own body works. But they can tell you their pronouns and why they’re depressed. That’s not education. That’s a factory for dependents. Bring back shop class. Home economics. Personal finance. Nutrition. Farming. Welding. Cooking. Changing a tire. Balancing a checkbook. A kid who can feed themselves, fix something, and keep a roof over their head is a lot harder to control than a kid who only knows how to fill out a form and wait for the next program. The system doesn’t want independent adults. It wants obedient slaves. Parents if the school won’t teach it, you will. You need to. Our children deserve self sufficiency and knowledge.

IT'S NOT OVER, TIL IT'S OVER! The Ravens started their drive with 0:07 seconds left in regulation, the latest start to a game-winning drive off of a kickoff since 1978 (including playoffs). This is the first game in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) that each team made a FG in the last 0:10 of the fourth quarter 😮

He-Man. G.I. Joe. Care Bears. Captain Planet. The Smurfs. Cartoons used to teach kids about honesty, courage, kindness, responsibility, and good defeating evil. Now, kids spend hours watching pranks and mindless content. How did we get here?

The Islamic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is IGNORED by Western media‼️ Where is the Main Stream Media uproar? Where are the University Protests?? Maybe if they thought Israel was somehow involved they would pretend to care. #Christianophobic
Amongst so many other global crises demanding our attention, I keep coming back to this question: How does the world keep ignoring Nigeria?
