1) RIP to the great play-by-play announcer Ron Franklin, who passed away this week at the age of 79. Franklin called college football/basketball on ESPN for 20+ years; RIP, sir.

Quote of the Day
“I’m not going to get into any conversations that I’ve had with anybody relative to anything to do with the staff. I understand the interest in it, but there’s nothing compelling me. I’ve got everyone under contract that I want to have under contract. And so that’s where we are.”

Quote of the Day
“This media gets f—ed up sometimes when it comes to me. We don’t have our full roster, Y’all know we don’t have our full roster. Stop asking me stupid f—ing questions about if I feel like I can do something. If I had my roster like they did, then I feel like I can do whatever I want to do. I’m coaching really hard. My boys are playing really hard. I’m not embarrassed about nothing.”
