Got the chance to walk through the Bennett this morning. Thankfully it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, at least in my area. Long road ahead but it’s navigable.

Some more shots of campus mostly Miner Hall in the center of campus. Still waiting to hear the extent of the damage to Bennett, Hach and the Turf Facility.

When I starting the S&C program 19 years ago baseball would only train if they had a 2 day “rest” before a game. Today for the first time we had game day sessions at 7am & 8am, yes even the starting pitchers were there training.

High Schoolers wanting to play college football; the game of football is hard, the game of college football is harder, the game of college football as a Scout Team Red Shirt Freshman is even harder, your not playing in games, but getting beat on everyday. Please plan accordingly

My name for Reece was the "Reecester Bunny", because he was way to nice...all the time, I'm sure he hated it when I called him that, but there was nothing but love for the big fella. He will be missed by many.

Big shout out to all the High School Strength and Conditioning Coaches, I continue to be impressed with the weight room skill level of our incoming freshman. Thank you for doing what you do!!
#GoMAD
Great news!! We can start on campus conditioning July 6th (next Monday). What I need to know is how many are around or and what time (before noon) would work best. I am probably going to do multiple groups if I have the numbers to support. Please email or DM your preferred time
#TBT
who remembers the “double tennis courts” area in Riepma Arena? In 2015 construction began on what now houses office space, locker rooms for 5 teams as well as visitors and officials locker rooms and storage. We did use that space often but still think it was a good trade off
Volunteered to be a timer at my daughters swim meet last night, got a full tutorial on how a stop watch works. Good news, no more timing 40’s & 5-10-5’s in my head
