"Thank you" doesn't seem near enough for the sacrifices you made. "Forever indebted" comes closer. In appreciation, Happy #MemorialDay

That dunk was insane #first
His vertical has to be in the mid 40’s.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to those who served, especially those who gave their life in defense of this great nation. God Bless America!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your willingness to put your life on the line for someone you’ve net met. I salute you all.
That loss on Saturday, and the way it came about….so devastating. They overcame so much just to be in that game three. Would have loved for their last game to be in OKC.
I was also a bit disappointed in the men after splitting the regular season games vs Okie St and 2-1 over texass. But, yeah, leaving runners on base like that is equivalent to kicking FGs instead of scoring TDs….comes back to bite you.
yeah, it was pretty exciting watching Chamberlain do what she does, and then such a let down afterwards…
I had two catch the last part of the game in my car. When the GS happened I just wanted to pull over and park. Just felt terrible for them.
Just me, but I would like to have seen Stevens or Pendley start gm#2 and rest Parker as long as possible knowing gm #3 was on the horizon if the team didn’t win #2…….
I get that, but start Stevens or Pendley and the likelihood of a game three at Bama becomes even greater. You’ve got a little momentum, stick with who/what got you there. Besides, the Friday game was the first Parker had pitched in days. No way that affects her pitching on Saturday.
Hoover pretty well sums it up. Some paid the ultimate price for us and left us with a debt we can scarcely repay other than by promising to ‘never forget’ and to continue to protect that for which they paid. We remember them this day and give thanks.
and THAT is the problem !!!! people do FORGET.. politicians , who have never put on a uniform, make national policies affecting all of us FORGET…..it has been 70 yrs since WW2 and the generation that sacrificed so much for following generations freedom are all but gone—-and still few understand what it takes to stay free : the desire and determination to FIGHT for those liberties we enjoy ; the mindset by this countrys leadership to spare nothing to keep this country free ; the WILLpower of the populace to endure whatever hardships are necessary to provide the manpower and support needed to win a war……when one thinks of it, the US has not won a war with the support of the people since WW2 !!!!! Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq have lost the support of the people and, ultimately, the support of the civilian leadership ( politicans ).. this country seems to lack the moral leadership , political courage, and national support to endure long enough to win another global conflict—–and that is just what Russia, China, Iran, ISIS, North Korea —are counting on…
Just shut up.
Semper Fidelis Marine Sgt. Walter Norman, Marine Cpl. Kevin Strobl and Marine Lcpl. Stephon Jennings. Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of you.

Oorah semper fi!
John Hoover is a tool
Agreed…but even a blind hog finds a truffle now and then.
Maybe, but he at least has the nads to not be Bob’s yes man. ONCE in awhile he actually holds the coaches accountable.
He’s not even a sooner fan…when you have your own agenda it’s easy to come off like he does…and nads have nothing to do with it unless your talking about sheep
Sports writer’s SHOULDN’T be fans of the teams they cover.
The shouldn’t continue to ask the same question over and over again we the coach already answered it…Have you heard some of his stupid questions…they also should be an anti fan of the team either…too much bad mojo that he should serious go follow another team
I never said I liked him. Just don’t want everything reported through crimson colored glasses either.
I guess Depp isn’t finished being weird yet.
I call it a draw between my excitement for the arrival of the 2015 class and Will Sunderland’s.

Wife and I are planning on taking the ponies down to Cedar Lake Equestrian Park and ride with some of my relatives and attending a family reunion at Poteau, Ok this weekend. Would be nice if the rain would go away until they actually need it.

Hope everyone’s holiday is going well. I’d like to say thanks to those that have served & the ones that paid the ultimate sacrifice. I appreciate the chance to be able to attend my 1st baseball game at Turner Field in Atlanta on Sunday because of your service. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Stand we shoulder to shoulder, my brother’s in arms.
Thank you to all past, present, and future Brothers and Sisters.
Trayveon Williams to commit this Friday…..we are in his top five if that means anything at all.
Is he an RB? I forgot.
Yes, from the Houston area.
Thanx.
After his tweet ‘#stayingathome’ I’m thinking the writing is on the wall. Next up. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised, though.
U mm it means we need to beat 4 other teams 2 of which kicked our ass and kids want what is now…you read between the lines
