So I Put The Pieces Of This Puzzle Together, But Im Still Thinking About Dean Smith. When Smith Took
So I put the pieces of this puzzle together, but I’m still thinking about Dean Smith. When Smith took over as head coach, the Chancellor of the university told him that running a “clean program” was more important than wins or losses. Even so, Dean’s only losing season was his first.
Of course, Dean Smith was an alumnus of the University of Kansas. One of his UNC players, who would go on to coach the UNC program from 2003 to 2021, was head coach at Kansas for many years before that. These are the ties that bind, I guess.
Listen I know I’ve been on my “Kansas Fan Jason Sudeikis” soapbox but I NEED everyone to know that “play smart, play hard, play together” was coined by the late Dean Smith, who coached basketball at UNC-Chapel Hill for 36 years. He was an absolute legend who cemented the legacy of the Carolina Basketball program as more than a winning team (Smith won 879 games in his career) but a “Carolina Family.” And I just wanted y’all to know.

*sees an old Camaro in any context* sick Raven Cycle reference, bro
If I had a nickel for every time a sitcom featured a funeral scene in which a character mourns their father by leading the congregation in a doleful impromptu rendition of a classic rock song, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot. But it’s weird that it happened (at least) twice.
Griffin is thiiiiiis 🤏 close to asking us if we’d still listen to his podcast if he was a worm…
Listen we don’t need more Ted Lasso. A three act story stands on its own (something something triangles).
What we DO need is the reverse: world-class soccer player comes to play, idk, minor league baseball in the US. Maybe he learns not to take himself so seriously after having to relay race a seven-year-old during the seventh inning stretch.
Third game in the BOTW/TOTK series: farming game like Stardew or AC. Link and Zelda decorate their home and grow Silent Princesses on a hillside. The Master Sword is just for decoration. They get a dog. You can pet the dog.
