This photo also makes me think of Damon Fontenot, who captured this moment for me—knowing what it meant to interview Ryne. Damon, like Ryne, was lost way too soon.

A celebrity death has never hit me quite like this one. He was my first sports hero and the reason I became a Cubs fan. He was also incredibly gracious when he came through OKC again as a manager. RIP Ryno.

Jeff Lebby on Zac Selmon as AD: “I think what you see from the top down is connection, you see trust. … There’s great alignment. There’s great connection” #Sooners

Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby on Brent Venables/why he can turn #Sooners around: "Toughness. Consistency. Conviction. He is going to be very, very true to his process. He is the same man every single day, not letting result dictate who is going to show up in the building every single day."
