ESPN is 44 today. On our 1st anniv, I was a year out of @BonasJSchool , sitting in a trailer, writing a press release - on a typewriter! - saying we were now going to be on air 24/7. Not stopped since. Launch just now of @PatMcAfeeShow latest example.

Dan eloquently captures the devotion so many students and alums feel towards @StBonaventure I hope all those who find me at times insufferable - especially when @BonniesMBB & @BonasJSchool are rolling - will better understand. 😃 #GoBonnies

What a huge, gritty win on the road. @BonniesMBB 83-80 over Duquesne. These kids just keep coming. Plenty of moments where the game could have gone south. They wouldn’t let it. #Unfurl

Escape in Philly! Wasn’t pretty but I’ll take a W in a place that historically gives @BonniesMBB fits in their first game since forever.
