Today marks the beginning of Year 3 as
@CLE_State
AD (already?!). We are emerging successfully from 13 months of pandemic-disruption, we have 5
@CSU_Athletics
teams competing throughout the day, & I have never been more fired up to serve our SA’s, coaches and staff!
#GoVikes
Incredible loyalty and support from our special
@KStateFB
fans. There just aren’t many places where a sellout happens with 20-degree temps on the back end of a tough year. Thank you
@KState
nation! Let’s get this W.
We shared nearly 1k phone calls, hundreds of meetings, & many hugs and high-fives over the last 3 years. A 1st time AD & 1st time HC brainstorming, collaborating, pushing each other to be great. As you move on

Difficult couple of days — I feel terrible for
@EvanCheek1
, for
@ClevelandStWBB
, and for all of our SA’s in our spring sports (especially our seniors). Today was one of those days where I am glad this note is on my wall to look upon and reflect. It will get better!

Amazing scene in Bramlage tonight. Sometimes in this business you prepare for celebrations that don’t happen. Fortunately, as they’ve done all season long,
@KStateMBB
took care of business and created a very special memory for all of the
@KState
family. Congrats to all involved!
Please help me welcome
@coachdgates

Celebrating 17 years of marriage with
@klgarrett227
pretty much the same way we’ve spent the last 27 (and counting) weekends. At least we’ve got
@RedZoneChannel
and a
@ChicagoBears
lead to entertain us!
Thank you to
@CSU_President
, our
@CLE_State
board, and all of my Viking teammates throughout campus and across NEO. Yesterday’s records are tomorrow’s expectations (h/t
@John_Currie
) and we have LOTS of work left to do together!! My family and I are honored and grateful.

I’ve been back on the Keto diet for a couple of months, after a very long break. Today Bailey, 17.5 years old, left our world. These two things are only related because I know she would totally have no judgement for my plan to crush a large pizza tonight.

Turning the page from Year 1 to Year 2. What an incredible year it has been! My family and I are honored to represent
@CLE_State
and to serve our staff, coaches and - most importantly - our 330 amazing student-athletes! Many great moments ahead soon for
@CSU_Athletics
.

During my first week in MHK, Coach called and asked we do everything we can to “keep the red out” of the stadium for our game against Nebraska that fall. His attention to every detail was unmatched, and provided for many memorable moments over the last 9 years. Thank you, Coach!
Very proud of my son, Matthew, who became motivated just a few days ago to enter our local youth triathlon. He finished the race and today became the 2nd triathlete in our family. My bilateral hip labral tears hurt just watching. Maybe next year we’ll be able to compete together!
Hard to believe it’s been 9 months since an
@CSU_Athletics
team competed. Thanks to
@CSU_President
and many, many people throughout
@CLE_State
family for their extraordinary efforts in making today possible. Interesting 2021 ahead of us!

Today’s crowd of 2,159 at the

The 🐐 has had so much influence on my life. Growing up in Chicagoland during his career meant so much to me and no doubt shaped what I would become. I nicknamed my son (MJ) after him, so watching the Last Dance with him tonight was special. I’m glad we get to share it together.
So humbled to follow the trail that was carefully crafted by my colleague
@HoyasAD
and honored to hear his
@CSU_Athletics
hall of fame induction speech tonight. A legend.
#GoVikes
Our little guy, MJ, has been a huge fan of
@TDLockett12
for a long time. We are excited to continue supporting and rooting for Tyler with some special Christmas presents under the tree this year!
In my first day on campus, our 2019-20
@CSU_MSoccer
student-athletes one-by-one advocated for
@SUbiparipovic28
to be their coach (think a recreation of the scene from Rudy). They made the decision easy for me and I am so proud of the work he and
@VisnuMaharaj
have done!
#GoVikes
Super proud of our student-athletes, staff and coaches. You can feel the excitement and support building in NE Ohio for
@CLE_State
basketball.

Missing a couple that are yet to arrive in Indy … grateful to break bread with the hardest working administrative staff in the
@HorizonLeague
. The best!!

I have witnessed more tears shed from teammates and colleagues than any other time in my professional life. People are tired & hurt. I will work with
@CLE_State
leadership & our
@CSU_Athletics
coaches, staff & SA’s on actionable next steps on our great campus.
#BlackOutTuesday
As I shared with our
@CSU_Athletics
coaches earlier this week, the recent images we have collectively observed are extremely troubling and unacceptable, yet present us another chance to proactively lead those around us, especially our great student-athletes, to influence change.
We celebrated staff service of 10 years to
@CSU_Athletics
from Director of Ticketing & Fan Development
@CSU_Vikes
and Asst. AD for Facilities Joel Eckert at a campus luncheon today. Thank you Carrie and Joel for your support and loyalty to
@CLE_State
!
Although they are facing a fellow
@HorizonLeague
school (phenomenal crowd for
@YSUsports
), we had to come out and support my 2010
@kstatesports
hiring committee of twitterless Reid Sigmon and
@ChadWeiberg
. The best in the business!!
FINAL: That's a Viking Winner!!
Make it 3 in a row for Cleveland State! Vikings are 6-2 in the Horizon League and tied for first place.
Tristan Enaruna with a season-high 24 to lead the way!

If we’ve learned anything in the last 4 months, it’s eat the elephant one bite at a time. We don’t know what the next hour, day, week or month might bring, but we can stay positive and keep grinding. Plan the work and work the plan.

Last Sunday without the family in CLE ... missing these two on Father’s Day. They are excited to get here and experience all that
