As I walked into Boshamer Stadium, I passed by UNC head coach Scott Forbes with an armful of Chick-Fil-A.
We pretty quickly say hello. Didn’t think anything of it.
I describe the interaction to
@jadamlucas
when I get to the booth. Adam: “…but it’s Sunday.”
We need answers.
At the conclusion of the Chapel Hill Super Regional, ACC teams are 23-8 in NCAA Tournament play.
The first 3 teams to secure spots in Omaha are from the ACC (Florida State, Virginia, North Carolina).
It was easy for me to believe the NCAA was trying to do the right thing in Omaha. COVID had been a moving target, and we all struggled in ways to react accordingly.
This feels different, like a big middle finger to Boo and/or Elliott for pressing the issue so hard.
Quick reminder that this is a weird time of year for many, especially given added 2020 circumstances. Even your most resilient friends could be dealing with some pretty heavy stuff you aren’t aware of.
Be nice.
I’m ecstatic to reveal that I will have the pleasure of calling
@HPUMBB
games on ESPN+ and the team’s native streams this season. Really looking forward to working with the legendary
@CoachTubbySmith
and the rest of the incredible
@HighPointSports
staff!
Our ACCNX crew found Roy Williams in the stands at the Bosh on Monday. We used it to riff about going to a game solo with NO IDEA what was weighing on his mind.
Per
@ACCBaseball
, tonight’s 7pm matchup between
@WakeBaseball
and
@DiamondHeels
is officially sold out.
There’s a plan to offer “standing room only” tix shortly.
Semifinal spot on the line. Should be awesome.
Small update, because I’ve gotten the question a lot lately:
I’ve officially signed back on to do
@ecubasketball
play-by-play on
@ecusportsnet
for the 2024-25 season, alongside my friend Michael Perry.
Year 2, let’s go! Talk to you in November, Pirate Nation.
A thing that is actually happening: They're letting your boy teach a course at
@UNCHussman
next semester.
Something I've wanted to try for a while now. I'm very excited and only slightly terrified.
Congrats Jackson - you've always looked great in orange & black!
Our loss was the
@Orioles
gain, but we couldn't be more excited for
@J_Holliday7
& the Holliday family as he begins his big league journey! We'll be cheering him on from Stillwater.
Was told this morning that scouting credentials for
@DukeBASE
at
@WakeBaseball
this weekend are in even higher demand than usual.
Jonathan Santucci vs. Josh Hartle in Game 1. Two of the best LHP in the nation, likely 1st-rounders.
Can’t wait to call it on ACCNX Friday!
The
@USABaseball
Broadcasting Intern program got the green light for 2024!
Come hang with me in Cary this summer and call LOTS of baseball play-by-play:
I’ve come to love his incredible family. We’ve waxed philosophic to one another over many beers, and he’s become one of my best friends and greatest mentors. We did over a thousand shows together,
@DavidGlennShow
, and it was the loveliest of cruises. Cheers. 🍻
Kevin Harlan once told me he sometimes does play-by-play of his surroundings as he’s driving or doing other mundane things to work on his delivery and inflection.
No more game broadcasts for me until NYE. Some quick reflection:
I called play-by-play for right at 100 events this year, plus plenty of other assignments hosting/interviewing/etc.
This is fun work, and the people with whom I get to do it are great. Cool year.
In an apparent attempt at regional domination via being seen and heard by you as much as humanly possible, I’ve started hosting
@nclottery
drawings.
A much different type of “ballgame,” but no less fun. So I guess get your winning numbers, watch, and maybe I’ll say them?
Back at the Bosh today for Game 2 between
@HokiesBaseball
&
@DiamondHeels
!
UNC will celebrate its 1984 ACC Championship team. BJ Surhoff and Scott Bankhead are scheduled to join us in the booth.
It’s you, me,
@jadamlucas
, and the rest of our crew at 2pm on ACCNX. Talk then!
Congrats to
@ECUWBB
, and best of luck to them in Austin!
I’ve not often been a champion in my life, so thanks for allowing me to pretend for a moment yesterday,

guy Kevin Keatts has 11th-seeded N.C. State in the Final Four, a far cry from riding the pine for the Heritage High football team.
My latest for
@CardinalNewsVA
:
A 3-0 count doesn’t just happen. It’s a result of poor pitches by pitcher and/or good takes by batter. One or both created the situation where the next pitch has to be a strike. If the batter is confident it’s going to be fat, why not swing?
This is simple.
If you’ve ever talked college baseball with me, you probably know I’m such a huge fan of this guy.
The sport is better because of people like Jay – thoughtful, gracious, loves the game and loves those around him.
"Just know that I gave you everything I had. And thank you for making me the man I am today."

I haven't often missed doing the show amidst a pandemic, but we just closed out the former

interns Zoom catchup session after going for 3 hours, and now I kind of miss doing the show.
Sometimes,
@DavidGlennShow
invites me to tag along when he goes places and does things. It never disappoints. (Shouts to

for the Grade A photo-bombing.)
Got to Raleigh a handful of years ago and couldn’t believe when I heard this exact story from everyone that grew up here. NC’s
#ACCTourney
devotion is unreal.
In honor of the last ACC Tournament on Raycom (and yes, Jefferson-Pilot) any middle or high school teacher on Tobacco Road worth their teaching certificate needs to be rolling these into classrooms this week.

That’s a huge statement of a weekend sweep for
@GTBaseball
. Their first ACC sweep since March 30-April, 2018.
Per
@GuruAndrew
, also GT’s first 3-0 start in conference since 2011.
Shoutout to the Chipotle employee who loaded at least two servings of everything into my burrito bowl and said, “This shit is expensive! I’m hooking you up. Ain’t nobody complained yet.”
I’ve displayed a version of this note every game I’ve called since quarantine.

So, my senior year of high school, I played on an 0-19 basketball team. Only winless team in the state.
My alma mater’s current team is one loss away from securing the second “Imperfect Season” in program history.
