  2. al.com ..... each to Auburn women’s athletics and HS for Black girls Updated: May. 13, 2024, 8:44 p.m.|Published: May. 13, 2024, 4:39 p.m. 4–5 minutes Charles Barkley poses for photographers with a statue honoring him at the Philadelphia 76ers training facility on Friday, Sept. 13, 2009, in Camden, N.J. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)AP Photo/Matt Rourke By Roy S. Johnson | rjohnson@al.com Charles Barkley never misses “60 Minutes.” Two Sundays ago, the venerable CBS news magazine show aired a segment on St. Mary’s Academy, a 157-year-old, high-achieving Catholic school for young Black women in New Orleans featuring two former students who independently achieved something thought to be impossible. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, now college students, used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem, something math experts universally believed could not be done. Their achievement did not surprise Pamela Rogers, principal at St. Mary’s Academy, which educates girls from kindergarten through the 12th grade. “Our students can do anything, and that’s what we tell them,” she told 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker. “We teach young women to give service, to empower themselves, [and] to be in the community. We teach them to grow spiritually, intellectually…to be good people and give to one another.” The segment moved Barkley to pledge a donation of $1 million to St. Mary’s. “These beautiful Black women, man, they’re just the high achievers,” Barkley said in a conversation Monday. “A lot is demanded of everybody at the school—high excellence. And these two young Black women did something in mathematics that was incredible. It just inspired me.” Barkley also said he will donate $1 million to women’s athletics at Auburn, his alma mater. “I just want to make sure I always take care of the women at Auburn because I worry about them more than anything during this NIL movement,” he said. “Everybody’s worried about football and basketball. I just want to make sure the women know I’ve got a lot of love and appreciation for them.” St. Mary’s was founded based on the vision of Henriette Delille, the great-great-granddaughter of an enslaved West African woman. Delille, born in New Orleans in 1812, was a Creole nun whose mother was a free Black woman and father a white Frenchman. She taught enslaved and free Blacks, though it was illegal to educate them in Louisiana. She founded Sisters of Holy the Family, the nation’s second-oldest surviving Black Catholic sisterhoods. The sisters created St. Mary’s in 1867, five years after Delille’s death. Delille is one of six African Americans in the process towards sainthood. She is in the final stages of canonization; there are no African American saints recognized by the Catholic church. Barkley previously donated $1 million each to: ALS research in Alabama in the name of former Auburn teammate Gary Godfrey, who was diagnosed with the disease in January 2019; his alma mater Auburn; the Wounded Warrior Project; and several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) including Spellman, Tuskegee, Miles College, Morehouse, Alabama A&M, Clark Atlanta, Bethune-Cookman, and Jackson State. Last June, Barkley shared he was changing his will, redesignating the $5 million he will leave to Auburn to be used for scholarships for low-income Black students. “That’s just my way of trying to make sure Auburn stays diverse,” he said at the time.

Subscribe here for more the Dipshit Brigade comes to town to carry water for Donald Trump Republicans are competing to see who can most deeply kiss Dear Leader’s ass Jeff Tiedrich May 14 READ IN APP Michael Cohen came to court yesterday to nail Little Donny ****face to the wall. he was cool, calm and collected. he brought all the receipts. he described how micromanager Trump was involved in every step of the scheme to conceal the hush money payments. Cohen explained how he funneled the payments through a shell company. he described how Trump’s only goal was to preserve his presidential campaign — Donny didn’t give one **** about Melania’s feelings. Upgrade to paid Donald Trump doesn’t have any receipts. what the narcoleptic fart factory does have, however, is a dog-and-pony show — one that features a rotating cast of flunkies willing to stand in front of a camera and whine about unfairly Dear Leader is being treated. that’s right, Donny has turned his trial into a version of The Apprentice where Republican hopefuls compete to see who can most deeply kiss Dear Leader’s ass. yesterday’s competitors were failed football coach Tommy Tuberville, and the latte-sipping Hamptons hanger-on who pretends to be some kind of hillbilly savant, JD Vance. here are two clips in which head-trauma poster boy Foghorn Leghorn feigns outrage over the fact that a criminal defendant is being treated like a criminal defendant. “first of all, I’m disappointed in the courtroom. I’m hearing ‘Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump.’ he is former president Trump. give him some respect. I mean, that’s what that place is in there. no respect. here’s what I’m seeing too, it is depressing. that courtroom is depressing. this is New York City. the icon of our country, and we got a courtroom that’s the most depressing thing I’ve ever been in.” “he’s been here a month. I am disappointed in looking at the American — supposedly American citizens in that courtroom, that the DA comes in and acts like it is his Super Bowl. and I guess it is, to be noticed. but that’s what happening in this country. Republican candidate for president of the United States is going through mental anguish in a courtroom that’s very depressing — very depressing.” oh my god. they should show these videos to high school athletes as a cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t play football without a helmet. what’s this “supposedly American citizens” bull****? is T-Tubes implying that the jurors are undocumented immigrants? I swear, these shit****s can’t go ten seconds without blaming their woes on immigrants. and I’m so sorry that trials are depressing, Tommy. so sorry that Dear Leader is going through mental anguish. maybe Trump should have thought about that before he crimed. oh wait, I’m not sorry. for the first time in his pampered, entitled life, Donald Trump is getting the exact treatment he deserves — and I am here for every ******* second of it. here’s JD Vance: “the judge inside, his daughter is making millions of dollars running against Donald Trump, raising money for Donald Trump’s political opponents. the number three person in the Department of Justice — Biden’s Department of Justice — left to become a local prosecutor to go after Donald Trump. and of course they’re Alvin Bragg, a Soros-funded prosecutor who promised to go after Donald Trump and now it doing exactly that.” whoa, there’s a lot of batshittery to unpack here. we have some garden variety antisemitism, with the Soros-is-paying-for-it business. we have some conspiracy blather about Biden’s DOJ targeting Trump — but primarily what we have here is gag order violation by proxy. Donny can’t attack the judge’s daughter, so he now gets his flunkies du jour to do it for him. Friday, it was Judge Box Wine Pirro’s turn. yesterday we got JD Vance. today it’s Holy Mike Johnson. Vance also did a fair amount of whining. “we started in Trump Tower with a beautiful view of Central Park. then you come to a dingy court house with people like Alvin Bragg.” oh no, the courtroom is dingy. my god, the inhumanity! how can they force God’s own Avatar on Earth to suffer among all the dinge? look, JD, we’re so sorry that every square inch of the courthouse isn’t covered in fake gold, like Dear Leader’s vermin-infested Florida golf motel. and we’re doubly sorry that Judge Merchan’s courtroom doesn’t have a beautiful view for criminal defendants to gaze upon. where’s my tiny violin? by the way, JD Vance is a ******* hypocrite. he used to be against Dear Leader before his was for Dear Leader. here are some quotes from 2016: “Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible. God wants better of us” — JD Vance, October 2016 “Fellow Christians, everyone is watching us when we apologize for this man. Lord help us.” — JD Vance, October 2016 that second quote, by the way, is a response to the Access Hollywood tape. Tuberville and Vance bailed after the court recessed for lunch. they were nowhere to be seen when the trial resumed. here are some choice nuggets from Cohen’s testimony. — Donny doesn’t use email for this perfectly normal reason. you know who worries about “prosecutors” and “paper trails”? criminals, that’s who. “will I get caught?” is a thought that rarely crosses the mind of your average joe, but everything Donny ****face does is purposely designed to evade detection and prosecution. — this is ******* stunning. holy s***, Jabba the Trump really labors under some serious delusions about his desirability. what a loving couple. what a deep and abiding affection Donny and Melania have for each other. — Trump is a cheapskate through and through. “COHEN BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY: Trump said to delay payment to Stormy Daniels until after the election because the story wasn’t relevant if he won and if he lost: ‘I really don’t care.’” Donny told Cohen not to pay out the hush money until after the 2016 election, because if he lost, who the **** cares if the public found out that he coerced a woman into having sex with him by dangling the promise of her being a contestant on The Apprentice. what a creep. — but shed not a tear for poor Melania, because she’s complicit as ****. “Michael Cohen testified at Trump’s criminal trial that it was Melania’s idea to spin the Access Hollywood tape as ‘locker room talk.’” Donny and Melania are a pair of scheming a**holes and they deserve each other. and finally, how adorable is it that Trump’s lawyers now give him a stack of prop papers to wave about as he raves exactly like a ******* lunatic. “and it could have been brought six years ago, seven years ago, almost eight years ago. they bring it right in the middle of my presidential campaign. Bragg. he said we had no case. you know if you go back and look at your earlier records when he came into office he turned it down and he was angry because of what took place. he saw that they were going to use this scam. he was angry. even Michael Smerconish of CNN, a person four or five weeks into a trial ought to be told exactly that which they’re being prosecuted for, and that hasn’t happened. you know why it happened? because it didn’t happen for one very simple reason. because there is no crime. here’s Mark Thiessen. I know things are, I don’t think things are going very well for the prosecution in the court of law. and in the court of public opinion they’re doing even worse. Matt Whittaker, another day at trial and they’re keeping the president off the campaign trail. Byron York on the hush money trial, which is not hush money, the majority of voters in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, say Trump can not get a fair trial. that’s too bad. that’s very too bad.” your Republican candidate for president, ladies and gentlemen. he’s crazier than a shithouse rat. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

  12. i admit dean had a hard act to follow but i have never cared for him. he always looks like he stepped in dog poo.
  13. I know it is a joke but i would still love to see pols be real role models and care more about the country than space lasers and arguing than helping the country. when a former pres tells the right not to pass a border security bill so biden will not look good is what is wrong with america.
  14. Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more the squirrels inside Donald Trump’s head have eaten all the brain worms a report from Donny's latest hate-rally Jeff Tiedrich May 13 READ IN APP the rabid squirrels that live inside Little Donny ****face’s head have really been trashing the joint lately. it’s a ****hole mess up there in Donny’s cranium these days, what with all the loose dendrons and fraying synapses. it doesn’t help that the squirrels have been chewing on everything in sight. they’ve even gone after Trump’s beloved brain worms, gobbling up every last one of them. Upgrade to paid Donny got let out of his cage on Saturday, and the attention-starved dipshit headed straight for a hate-rally in the Jersey Shore town of Wildwood. the squirrels were overjoyed to be finally outside of a courtroom, and they immediately started shrieking in four-part harmony. “Silence of the Lamb. has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? the late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. he oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. remember the last scene? ‘excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ but Hannibal Lecter. congratulations. the late, great Hannibal Lecter...” holy s***, what? Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man? does Donny think Lecter is a real person? does Donald Trump think Silence of the Lambs is a documentary? and is anyone surprised that the brain-eating is Donny’s favorite part of the movie? there was no context for this blurt. nothing that came before it led gracefully into this subject. some head-squirrel sunk its sharp little teeth into an exposed synapse, and this is the disassociated word salad that came tumbling out. Donny also gave the crowd this awesome geography lesson. “if you look at president… you take a look at Xi. President Xi of China, talking about Beijing. now, they’ve got ships circling. they have planes— they never were doing anything. President Xi of China, with—” fun true fact: Beijing is landlocked, in the middle of China. the only way to circle ships around Beijing would be to put them on roller skates and have the Red Army push them. Donny probably meant to say Taiwan but the squirrels served up Beijing instead. but please, tell me once again how Joe Biden is too decrepit to be president. let’s give Donny a little credit here, though — at least he didn’t confuse Xi with Nancy Pelosi this time. Donny’s adoring faithful also got this cool history lesson. “we’re going to evict this man, the worst president by far. Jimmy Connors is— Jimmy. Jimmy Connors isscodda, he’s also happy. Jimmy is a very happy man, both of them, because you know what? they want him out. Jimmy Carter …” ah yes, Jimmy Conners, who famously became president in 1976 by defeating John McEnroe at the US Open. here’s a photo of McEnroe graciously conceding the election to Connors. it’s mostly a lush life for the head-squirrels, but all is not beer and skittles. you see, there’s a family of raccoons biding their time up there in Donny’s dome as well — and every now and then they’ll fight the squirrels for primacy. check out what happens when the raccoons launch an offensive. “all done by Biden. carryditebyreakan… side allallbe done by him.” but just then, the squirrels launch a counter-offensive! a right cross to a raccoon’s jaw, and— “and it will mean Biden’s bordinny … his …” all glitching aside, Trump also spewed some horrible s***, because that’s what happens when you put a horrible man in front of a microphone. here’s Donny lying his face off once again about post-birth abortion, which is most definitely not a thing that happens, ever. “the radical Democrat extremists get their way, they will have a federal law on abortion in the eighth and ninth month, and even executing the baby after birth.” no, **** no. no one is doing this. don’t make me come over there and explain about palliative care for babies born with untreatable severe defects — because that’s what’s at the heart of this horrible lie. once again, s***ty Hitler promised to round up and deport brown-skinned people. “on day one, we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” the ignorant old fool once again demonstrated that he has no idea how NATO works. “when I came back I said ‘you’re not paying your bills.’ and they look at me and said ‘you mean to tell me,’ because I said, ‘you gotta pay your bills, or we’re not gonna protect you with NATO’ ... and one of the presidents from one of the countries … one of them stood up and said, ‘sir, do you mean to tell me that if I’m attacked in this very big country, if I’m attacked as a country, by RUSSIA, you will not defend me?’ ... I said, ‘if you’re delinquent, I would not protect you.’” NATO is not a protection racket, you demented mob boss. that’s not how it works. that’s not how any of this works. NATO doesn’t collect dues. there’s no balance sheet. there’s no “owing the USA” anything. and no big, strong president of a “big country” came up to Trump with tears in his eyes and called him “sir” — any time Donny claims someone called him “sir,” that’s your clue that the whole story is a big ******* ball of it never happened. so, did our worthless corporate-controlled media report on any of the ignorance, hate speech and out-and-out batshit insanity? no, they did not. what the simpleminded press fixated on was crowd size. Team Trump claimed a hundred thousand people showed up to hear Dear Leader blither like a fool, and that’s what the media breathlessly and uncritically reported. as with all things Trump, it was an easily-swatted-down lie — and the media gobbled it up. Trump’s toadies have been passing around this photo as proof of the adoring throng that came to watch Donny s*** out of two orifices at once. it’s a pretty impressive show of popularity for Trump, except for the part where this is actually a photo of a Rod Stewart concert in Rio that took place thirty years ago. “Readers added context they thought people might want to know This is a photo from a Rod Stewart concert almost 30 years ago. ‘On December 31, 1994, Rod Stewart performed at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro in front of an estimated 3.5 to 4.2 million people.’” how can you tell when Team Trump is lying? their lips are moving. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

  15. 247sports.com Freshmen lead the way for Auburn mens golf on day one of NCAA Regionals Jason Caldwell 5–7 minutes Auburn's freshmen led the Tigers on day one of the NCAA Regionals in Baton Rouge. Solid would be the word to describe top-ranked Auburn men's golf and their first round of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. Led by true freshmen Jackson Koivun and Josiah Gilbert, who both fired rounds of 70, coach Nick Clinard's team is in second after a day one round of 285 (-3). The Tigers trail leader Virginia by five shots with Ohio State and Houston both at +1 and Duke rounding out the top five at +3. "The golf course is tricky," Clinard said. "The wind started out South/Southwest and switched to Northeast. With the lines off the tees, the fairways pinch up at the ends so you have to be real smart with your lines. You've got to drive it well, and I thought we did, we just didn't make a whole lot of putts." The firepower came from Gilbert. Coming on late in the season, he continued his strong play on Monday with a fast start out of the gate for the Tigers. With birdies on the third and fifth hole, he was at two-under par playing the par-5 sixth. His first eagle of the day pushed him to -4 overall. He would give three shots back with a double bogey and a bogey before adding his second eagle of the day on the 17th. A bogey on his final hole put him in the clubhouse with a 70. Koivun had the same score, but did it in a much different way. Steady from start to finish, he had a pair of birdies on the front nine before playing even on the back with one bogey and a birdie on the 15th hole. "They played very well," Clinard said of the freshmen. "I'm really proud of them. I was with Jackson the whole day. He left some shots out there, it could have easily been five or six under. But overall I thought the freshmen played some great golf." Behind them, Carson Bacha had a round of even par, 72, while J.M. Butler came in with a round of 73. Brendan Valdes finished off the scoring for Auburn day one with a round of two-over par, 74. Texas Tech (+4), Oregon (+4), South Carolina (+5), Lipscomb (+6), LSU (+7), Louisville (+13), Loyola Maryland (+22), Yale (+32) and Arkansas-Pine Bluff (+33) round out the field after day one. The top five teams after 54 holes advance to the NCAA Championships.
  16. waka.com Auburn's Maddie Penta earns All-SEC - WAKA 8 WAKA Action 8 News 1–2 minutes Auburn Softball Posted: May 10, 2024 11:56 AM CDT by WAKA Action 8 News Auburn senior pitcher Maddie Penta earns her third consecutive All-SEC honor. This season Penta received a second-team selection. Penta has now become the third player in program history to earn three or more All-SEC selections. The other two Tigers to accomplish this were Mary Petrie (3) and Kasey Cooper (4). During Auburn’s SEC schedule, Penta made 16 appearances with 12 of those being starts. Penta posted a 2.97 earned run average, a 1.30 WHIP, and threw seven complete games with one being a shutout. Penta led the league this season in strikeouts and totaled 92 against conference opponents. (Information from Auburn University)
  17. sorry about the above post. it would not let me clear the page and i even shut down and came back. weird.
  18. TrendingVIPWar Daddy Recruit: Josh Petty speaks for first time on sister-to-FSU, other factors in upcoming decision JoinStay up to date on all the sports you love with CBS Sports HQ 'It's a winnable region:' Auburn's Dean sees opportunity in Tallahassee Dean is in no hurry to get to the finish line Phillip MarshallMay 13th, 2:09 AM Auburn's Mickey Dean says his focus is on his team. (Photo: Auburn University) When Auburn is eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, Mickey Dean's time as head coach will be done. But as the Tigers prepare to go to the Tallahassee Regional, he says thoughts of the finish line can wait.. "I don't want to waste thought or energy on speculation," Dean said. "I know it's going to end at some point. My job now is just to stay focused on the team, do the work necessary to make sure they are prepared, help them any way possible and go coach to the best of my ability. When it's over, I will have plenty of time to think about it." Auburn, the No. 2 seed, opens play in Tallahassee on Friday against No. 3 seed Central Florida at 1 p.m. CT. Host Florida State, the No. 15 national seed and No. 1 regional seed, plays No. 4 seed Chattanooga in the second game. Dean says his players seemed to have moved on from the numbing disappointment of a 6-5 loss to Georgia in 14 innings in the SEC Tournament. And he says he believes the Tigers can do some damage. "It's a winnable region," Dean said. "It's not a situation where we don't have a shot. You prepare your kids, get them ready, give them as much confidence as you can and hope they perform." Dean offered no hint of whether he will start ace Maddie Penta against Central Florida or go with Shelby Lowe to keep Penta fresh for a potential meeting with Florida State on Saturday. "I don't know yet," Dean said. "I won't know until I watch the video." Dean says he expects UCF to be a significant challenge for the Tigers. "They have always been a team that swings it pretty well," Dean said. "They've always had pretty good pitching. They are well-coached. They are playing close to home. It's going to be a tough matchup."" Dean will take the Tigers to Tallahassee for the third time. In 2018, they beat Kennesaw State 5-2, lost to Florida State 2-1 and lost to Jacksonville State 3-2. In 2021, they lost 5-4 to UCF and 2-1 to Kennesaw State. NCAA TOURNAMENT NOTES Auburn seniors Maddie Penta, Shelby Lowe and Makayla Packer will be out of eligibility after this season. How many others will leave or stay? Who will the next head coach be? Those are questions for after the tournament. *** Alabama finished 10-14 in the SEC and in ninth place. LSU finished 12-12 and in eighth place. LSU is the No. 9 national seed. Alabama is the No. 14 national seed. That apparently makes sense to somebody. *** D1Softball's final projections on Sunday morning had Auburn going to Stanford for its regional, but Dean paid no attention. "We had the 1 or 2 strength of schedule," Dean said. "I knew we would be playing at the No. 15 or No. 16 seed. I just didn't know who it would be." *** The committee's most controversial decision was leaving Duke, the regular-season and tournament champion in the ACC that was No. 4 in the RPI, out of the top eight. The Blue Devils, at 47-6, are the No. 10 seed. *** Ole Miss, at No. 43, has the lowest RPI among at-large teams. The Rebels got hot down the stretch, winning series over Auburn at home and at Arkansas. They also beat Kentucky in the SEC Tournament. It was just enough to squeeze into the field.
