I've put this off for too long, but Saturday was my last day at the Gazette. It's been an unforgettable almost eight years. Western Mass and that paper made me the writer and the person I am. Thank you everyone for letting some guy from Colorado be apart of your sports scene

People in New England love to ask “where are you from?” They mean where do you live rather than where did you grow up because it’s usually the same. WMass accepted some guy from Colorado and made him one of its own. I’ll be grateful forever

Frank Martin as upset as I've ever heard a coach after a win. Clearly expected more from the Minutemen "We looked like a bunch of 2nd graders out there. We quit defending, quit rebounding. Our attention to detail and personnel was really bad. We’re lucky we got a win here today."
