Minnesota's head coach just launched himself into a mob of his own players at full sprint. P.J. Fleck crowd-surfs after every win, today's was his 100th, and the mania took 15 years to build. It started with the worst thing that can happen to a person. In February 2011, Fleck's infant son Colt died of a heart condition. Fleck was a 30-year-old receivers coach at the time. He came up with a phrase to get himself out of bed. Row the boat. Your back faces the future, you can't see what's coming, all you control is the oar. Two years later Western Michigan made him the youngest head coach in the FBS. He went 1-11 his first season and people laughed at the boat stuff. By 2016 the same program went 13-0 and made the Cotton Bowl. When Minnesota hired him away in 2017, there was a catch. Western Michigan had trademarked "Row the Boat." The school owned the legal rights to the phrase he created for his son. Fleck paid them $50,000 out of his own pocket, structured as a scholarship for a walk-on player, to take the words with him. Nine years of rowing later, today happened. Minnesota beat #24 Michigan 20-14, took back the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2014, and beat them at home for the first time in 49 years. 51,012 fans stormed the field. So yes, the man flies into that pile looking slightly unhinged. He knows better than anyone in that locker room that you don't get to choose which days are the good ones. You just keep rowing until one shows up.
Minnesota beat Michigan earlier today, and this might the best postgame locker room video I've ever seen 😲😲

This is the first long-form piece I've written in a year: Why this topic? Because, for starters, 250,000 girls were raped. Unimaginable and appalling though that is—the reality is much worse:

LEFT: Hiroshima 81 years after an atomic bomb RIGHT: Cuba after 60 years of Socialism Christians do not measure policies by their INTENTIONS; they measure policies by their OUTCOMES. It does not matter if the INTENTION of a policy is to "solve poverty" or "care for the poor." If its OUTCOME is to create poverty and multiply the poor, it is evil.

It’s time to clean house at the Smithsonian Institution. Hardworking Americans don’t want their taxpayer dollars dedicated to Marxist indoctrination. Share if you agree.
Damning report on the Marxist takeover of the National Museum of American History. Its director is on the record saying her mission was to “problematize” America’s 250th Independence Day, and worse. Time for new leadership at the Smithsonian Institute. whitehouse.gov/releases/2026…

For years we were told America was declining. That Europe had figured it out. That patriotism was cringe. That national identity was dangerous. That the future belonged to bureaucrats, technocrats, and people who thought flying a USA flag was somehow controversial. Then the World Cup shows up. Millions of people from around the world land in the United States and immediately start posting about the size of everything. The roads. The homes. The trucks. The gas stations. The food. The friendliness. The optimism. And most importantly: freedom That spirit is contagious. And the timing couldn't be better. All of this is happening as America approaches its 250th birthday. A quarter of a millennium after a handful of rebels looked at the most powerful empire on earth and said, "Nope. We'll do it ourselves." The entire world is getting a front-row seat to the American experiment. And from where I'm sitting, it looks good. Happy 250th, America 🇺🇸
Patriotic Summer is confirmed. 🇺🇸

Georgia player hits a home run in his final college at-bat. As he rounds the bases, his brother, who plays for the other team, gives him a high five. Their parents were in the stands watching the whole thing.

I respectfully ask the NCAA tennis oversight committee to reevaluate the 10 year commitment that was made to Orlando. A decision that was essentially made behind closed doors without giving any campus sites an opportunity to bid on any of those years. I haven't met one athlete, coach, or fan that prefers this tournament be played on off campus sites.

"For pastors or Christians who say, 'I don't want to be political,' I say, 'No, you don't want to be biblical.'" @conservmillen reminds Christians that to love our neighbors well is to uphold what God says is good and true.

I’ll never forget Coach Donnan’s reaction to this 😆
That time Ohio State missed a game-winning FG right as the New Year's ball dropped a few years ago was wild.
