For the first time in forever, I’m at a loss for words.
My mother suddenly passed away today in Delaware. After a series of health scares, she had seemingly been getting stronger and sounding better, so her loss has hit me as hard as possible.
I need to take some time away
Lots of emotion for the

women after a 75-72 loss to Baylor, but nothing to be ashamed of after a heck of a ball game, and a great season.

play versus Maine in October. One of those catches where you rewind the footage immediately and ask "How did he do that?".

A news director once told me I was perfect for a job, but he wouldn’t hire me because “you don’t have the right look, and will never be successful on tv.” I just passed my 5 year mark at a great station. That ND? Out months later, no longer in the business. Keep doubting me.
Congrats to

A source with ties to the AG office says mentioning the civil lit team was intentional and pointed. It likely means that branch of his staff is already working on the case and possibly already has a lawsuit drafted in preparation of a filing.
Congrats to
@Juan_Thornhill
on a

title! Just like his days at Altavista and
@UVAFootball
, Juan was a hard hitter, and had some great pass defenses tonight. Great to see him live his dream and get another ring!
The walls are shaking inside the

I'm not saying
@CoachHughFreeze
is staying or going. But I love that anytime there's an opening, the national reaction is "This is the one that'll get him to the SEC!". If he leaves, Coach will do great things. But
@LibertyFootball
is a pretty special place, too.
That does it for me in Arizona! Traveling all day today, and planning on catching up on a little sleep. Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement during our coverage of the Fiesta Bowl. It was a ton of work, but a week I’ll never forget. Be back on Friday!

A “long time ago”, I kicked a 40yd FG at a

game to win free pizza for a year.
Apparently, I could kick for the Dallas Cowboys now. I’m not saying I would do it, but I do work for free pizza. 😂
