YOU WILL NEVER SEE MORE HUSTLE THAN THIS. #4 ON IOWA.
🤯🤯🤯
ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYS EVER:

Baylor football is wearing a six-year-old's artwork on their helmets today.
Her name is ILaria Ramirez. She is from Cameron, Texas.
She is a patient at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's Medical Center.
Here is how it happened.
Baylor players went over to the children's hospital and sat down with the pediatric patients. Not a photo op, not a walk through and wave. They actually sat down at tables with the kids and drew together.
Blank Baylor Bear heads. Markers. Make it yours.
ILaria made hers pink and teal. She put a bear right in the middle of it.
And then she did two things that nobody told her to do.
She gave it a name. She called it the Helmet of Hope.
And she picked three words to go around the edge of it.
FAITH.
VICTORY.
STRENGTH.
A six-year-old chose those. Not a marketing department. Not a coach. Not her parents. Her.
Baylor took her drawing, turned it into a decal, and put it on every single helmet for today's Gold Rush game against Louisiana Tech.
Not a sticker on one guy's helmet. Not a patch on the sleeve.
Every player on the field wearing a first grader's bear on the side of their head.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and gold is the color for it worldwide. Baylor asked the entire stadium to wear gold today.
Head coach Dave Aranda on why:
"ILaria is one of us, and so we represent her and want her and her family to know that we're fighting along with her."
And linebacker Kyler Jordan, on what today actually is:
"Way bigger than football."
Here is the number that sits underneath all of this.
Nearly 1 in 285 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer before they turn 20.
One in 285. Before 20 years old.
Which means in a stadium that holds 45,000 people, the math says a few hundred of them have already been through some version of what ILaria is going through right now.
That is why the gold matters. That is why a helmet decal matters.
Somewhere in that building today there is a kid who knows exactly what a hospital room looks like, watching a Division I football team run out of the tunnel wearing a drawing made by a girl who is six.
FAITH. VICTORY. STRENGTH.
She picked those words herself.

8th year senior Siale Tuapaki grew up in a 2 bedroom home with 22 people living in it.
He pays for their internet for them to watch him play football on Saturdays 🙏

One of the best stories you will hear about dealing with your problems head on. Worth your time…
Von Miller reveals after Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman suspended him, he packed everything he owned into his truck and started driving to Florida to transfer, when he called his he dad told him not to quit, so he turned around and led the nation with 17.5 sacks the next season
“I had everything I owned in this blanket, and I went to my car. I threw it in the back and I’m driving home. I called my daddy. I’m like, ‘Daddy, man, I’m leaving. Coach Sherman kicked me off the team. I ain’t coming back until I do this and that.’”
“I’m thinking my dad is going, ‘All right, we’re going to find something else.’ He said, ‘Pull that truck over, turn around, and go back to school. You’re not quitting.’”
“I was like, ‘That was not the answer I was looking for.’ He was like, ‘You’re not just about to quit when it gets hard. You’re going to turn that truck back around. You’re going to go back to school and you’re going to fix it.’”
“I had tears going down my face. I was like, ‘Man, this is going to be so hard to fix all of this.’ I turned around. We had a meeting. Coach Sherman told my dad the exact same thing that he told me, and my dad agreed with Coach Sherman.”
“There was nowhere I could go. I just had to face the music. I had to face the truth. That spring was a hard one, but I got my grades up. I made it to all my classes. I went through the checklist of everything Coach Sherman wanted me to do.”
“That following year, my junior year, was the best year that I had up until that day. I led the nation in sacks. I had 17 and a half sacks. My life had totally changed. That was all a testament to running straight through the storm. The shortest way through the storm is straight. I put my head down and I worked, and my life totally changed that offseason.”

Classic Mike Tomlin.
“Hear Me…It’s not what you are capable of; it’s what you are willing to do. Plenty of people are capable. Fewer people are willing.”

With just one year of real play under his belt, @SnapReed2024 has become a crucial part of the WR room for @UNAFootball.
“He wants to pick your brain and talk about football 24/7,” WR coach Colby Ellis said. “He’s one of those kids that’s a student of the game.”

If you think that we’re making serious progress socially in the US, you’re wrong.
This video is 13 years old. Peak woke died in 2017. Most of you have no idea how good we once had it.
