Today was a great day with a close win. As I am working to recover from my illness the 2022 grads brought me an incredible picture! I canโt wait to hang it up at my house!!

I am so proud of where these Cards are. I will be watching that game tomorrow night like it is the most important part of my life.

Iโve held back for a couple of hours from dropping a tweet about our win today, but because my love for this team grows every day win or lose! I did not want to wait until tomorrow. The way they battled showed me they are aligned. They understand our message -

Today did not go the way the Cardinals wanted but I will owe this senior class forever for the way they helped change the Culture.

Since we were not able to have training camp this summer I decided to do a a small project in the backyard to honor the Mother of our Lord, Jesus. May She carry our prayers to her Son!

Dawg fans should be excited. Dude has a huge leg and is super cool under pressure.
The longer I do this the more I appreciate being around young men who want to sacrifice for something bigger than themselves!

The football program was gifted these Challenge Coins from FDNY. They were sent by a playerโs father along with a letter recounting the events of that day. The tragedy, the heroism displayed by those responding, and the faith in God shown by so many is still raw and emotional.

He was so many different things to so many of us that itโs hard to put him in one category but if I had to choose one descriptor for him I would say โClassyโ. May his soul be granted eternal rest...
It was a rough day weather-wise and on the scoreboard. We played well in many ways but didnโt convert when we needed - too many opportunities left on the field.
This squad will get back to work with a vengeance. We will learn from this and not hang our heads!

Proud of my boy Sam and Catholic U Rugby for their win today in Culpeper, VA against Southeastern Louisiana!! I wouldโve loved to still be coaching this weekend, but if I couldnโt, then spending the day with the love of my life and watching our boy makes my heart full.
@CUARugby
This season I have been asking our team โWho A.R.E. you?โ Can you execute your role? Can you go all out 4-6 seconds over and over again? Are you a fountain or a drain? Accountable. Relentless. Enthusiastic. Who A.R.E. you?
I'm very proud of the way this 2019 team is coming together. Lots of work to do but we are heading the right direction!!

Crazy uncharted waters in the world right now. It is times like these that we need to remember what matters most - God and family first. Have to keep priorities in order! โCast all your worries upon Him because He cares for you.โ 1 Peter 5:7
Iโve heard some coaches complain about recruiting. I love it! I talk to Student-Athletes about ๐ at a flagship university while playing ball in a program with a tradition of championships and they get to live in the ๐ช๐ปcity in the ๐ ! Beat that job!!

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman says the Irish will reintroduce game-day Mass.
โItโs what I remember from my recruiting trip โ watching the players walk out of the Basilica on the way to the stadium. I was a little caught by surprise when we didnโt do it last year.โ

If you are a football person please join the challenge of posting a football photo. Just one picture, no description. Please copy the text in your status, post a picture, and look at some great memories/pictures.
It is my wish that no one identifies me first as Republican or Democrat. It is my greatest wish that they recognize me first as a child of God. Peace be with you!!
