Al McGuire died 25 years ago, but the Marquette legend's influence has been long-lasting.
His former players are now the same age or older than McGuire was when he passed.
Here are the lessons they learned from their final conversations.

Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22)
In 2020 & 2022, she has kids. Both have special needs. She lives on the road with them, flying around the world for months at a time to compete in bobsled.
And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

I like to think Today's announcement was due to my Rod Carew standoff.
But like Norm said, I'll believe it's over when I see it.
So, another day of posting a photo of Rod Carew every day until ICE is out of Minneapolis (and St Paul). Plus Julio Cruz in honor of Norm's favorite team.

The Bulls are rebuilding, whether they will say the word or not.
But does Billy Donovan want any part of it?
For the next few years, he won’t have any other choice in Chicago.
