Derek Jeter has a great memory of 2007! When he drove by our team today he said “Appalachian State beat my Michigan team”! Some cheered, some laughed, and some drooled in awe of greatness!

Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play & it rains on the games like every day. Big beats, hit streets, see coaches roamin & games don’t start til 3 in the mornin!
Had lunch with my boys today at school! So thankful for all the teachers, office staff, and administrators that pour into the lives of the young people in this world. It was amazing watching the compassion that these teachers were displaying at every turn in this school.
14 years of watching Kermit’s servant leadership first hand. He takes on the burdens of every person in our program.
I have never met somebody who has so much love, compassion, and empathy, who is also able to lead so fiercely and competitively! Blessed to call this man family!
The JUICE was flowing tonight for squat max outs!
@Strength_MJG
and the boys have put in a ton of work and now they get to see the gains! Love seeing how excited our guys get for each other!

One year ago today our lives changed forever and now I wouldn’t change a thing! Twins scared me to death, but it’s amazing how fear can turn into to so much love! Hope you have a great bday Cade Royster Johnson! See you at the field in a couple of hours!
#TwinsWithDifferentBdays
If somebody would have told you months ago that
@AppStateMBB
would have to win the last 20 minutes of the year by 3 points to go to the BIG DANCE...would you have taken it?? This run has been a blast! Keep fighting fellas!
Day 2 of Johnson boys bdays! Dax Ficklen Johnson you are such a blessing to be around every single day! For the first couple of months you were so serious and wouldn’t smile, now we can’t stop you from smiling and laughing! Love you so much! C ya @ the field

Got home from work and Cade told me to watch something…he then did this
@_t_Henni
TD celebration 3 yr old style! He and Dax have walked around all week being “Thomas”…towels in pants and head bands. Not a bad role model at all…you never who is watching you!
Happy birthday to my 1st born today! You are a blessing to mom and me! Thank you for all the kisses, hugs, and punches! You have to share everything with your twin brother, but not today! This is your day buddy! Glad God blessed me to be your Dad!
#TwinsWithDifferentBirthdays
So excited for our commits to make it official today! Can’t wait to welcome a new crop of great people, students, and athletes to the Mountain! It’s a great day to be a Mountaineer!
Just parked at Marshall and the parking attendant says “another one…gosh you guys are everywhere”
@BlackAndGoldPod
first step win the parking lot correct?
You know you’ve been on the road recruiting too long when you come home and can’t remember what channel ESPN and ESPN2 are! Found it now and it’s time to watch
@AppState_FB
get busy tonight! Let the whole world see what football on top of the mountain looks like!
The Johnson boys are fired up for Tuesday night! Thanks to all the
@AppState_FB
players and coaches for making these 3 year olds day with all the high fives and fist bumps!
Happy bday Dax! Nothing better than pitching you 500 balls a day and watching you hit, seeing you squat down and give me pitching signs, & seeing how much you love your family! So glad you got your “A” hat like the baseball players! Love watching you grow up but it can slow down!
Players all over the country are signing NLI’s today and a dream is becoming a reality! Be sure to thank your family or relatives that sacrificed so much time and money to help you chase your dreams! Your families are so proud and became selfless to chase your dream with you!
Day 2 of birthday pics! Love this little boy to death. He started out as the shy one but that has changed. He’s always laughing and smiling. I love to get home and watch you hit every night off the tee and snuggle watching games! Love you!
#TwinsWithDifferentBirthDays
Great workout this morning! Be safe traveling home and enjoy your time with family and friends. So thankful for this group of guys and their families.

Hate not being with our team on the first practice day. But being with my wife and soon to be 2 boys has me jacked! Thanks
@TheGrantJ08
for intrsquad updates in the hospital! 2 new Mountaineer fans are on the way!
They said it was so cool that we had twins born on different days. They said the boys will love having their own day. Here we are in year 4 and we are still waiting to for them to love it! Happy birthdays to my boys!

on your injunction into the Lander University Hall of Fame! Y’all were such huge parts in making Lander Baseball a national contender! Well deserved honor. Love y’all! Great coach and players, but even better men!
I’m a day late, but happy birthday Cade! I love you so much! The joy I have leaving work to go home and see you is unreal! I love tackling and wrestling with you, I love your sweet hugs and kisses, and I love seeing you get so excited about the little things in life!

Had a blast recruiting tonight with my boys! They caught on mighty quick! Dax couldn’t put the watch down and Cade couldn’t stop clapping! Getting raised on the ball field!
So saddened about the passing of Jeff Charles. What a special man who made could make anybody smile. He cared deeply for the athletes he called games for and saw them as people not just players. I grew up on his voice in eastern NC, a voice I will never forget!

If you’re looking for lunch plans come out to Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium and watch
@AppBaseball
at 11am! If you can’t get away tune in to AppVision and watch the game while you work!
Such a blessing to see my Grandparents of 90 and 87 on the dance floor this weekend. Watching how much they love each other is so special. Watching this made my heart happy! Love them!
Congrats Coach! Blessed to work under you and watch you exemplify servant leadership and integrity in everything you do! Love you…let’s keep racking up more W’s!
The butterflies are always the same on Opening Day! This feeling is so special and I’m blessed to have been able to have this feeling being a part of this great game. Can’t wait to go compete!
My heart is broken for the Robichaux family. What a great man and great Coach. Such a sad day. One thing is for sure, he is now with our Lord and Savior who he so boldly proclaimed in his everyday life!
Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom I’ve ever had! I love you so much and thank for always being an example of Christ for your family! Can’t wait to see you soon! Love you!
Thank you App Nation!
