If your roommate tells you he's making the room a 'trip chamber,' find a new roommate immediately

My roommate told me he's going to make our room a trip chamber... find a new roommate immediately. This is the biggest red flag I think I've ever heard in my entire life. If you're a senior in high school and you're calling things a trip chamber... this is not a guy that you want to be trying to study in the same room at.

This is subjective social advice.

Bob Stoops could be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears

We also thrown in Bob Stoops, who may be the new coach of the Chicago Bears by the time this airs. Ooh, he owns a house in Chicago. Two houses next door to each other. We call that a compound. Yeah, a little bit of a compound going on, so maybe he's the next coach.

The Bears hired Matt Nagy in January 2018; Bob Stoops never coached the Bears.

Toughness and grit can be acquired like a callus on the human body

Absolutely, you can improve and become better at toughness. It's a talent, but it can be acquired too. I think of it like building a callus, just like the human body. What a tremendous organism. It actually craves contact... much like conditioning can be improved, so can that callus of toughness and grit also be acquired or improved. You've got a blister. It's soft. It's got fluid in it. It's going to break, but the great thing about it, when it does break, it'll callus over even stronger and harder and better.

While psychological resilience (grit) is a debated topic, the idea that toughness can be improved through exposure to difficulty is a standard coaching tenet.

I need the sport of football like some people need ice cream or a drug

You know, people are going to be better at things that they love, right? I mean, you're going to work harder at it... Some people need the sport of football. I would put myself in that category. No, I do. I love it... Some people like and need ice cream. You know, they want to eat it every day. I look at football like that. I need it. I need football. It's like a drug, yeah.

This is a personal statement of feeling.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
