Some personal news … I have been incredibly blessed and fortunate the past 7 years to work in intercollegiate athletics for a place I love dearly, but yesterday was my last official day at @hailstate @msstate Huge thank you to my good friend @CoachDanMullen for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to join his staff in 2017. A heartfelt thank you to @BallCoachJoeMo and the late Mike Leach for allowing me to continue in that role. Sincere gratitude for another close friend and mentor, @JohnCohenAD, for allowing me to grow and move over to administration and be a member of his executive staff. I hope I provided leadership and direction that made each of you happy you decided to give me the opportunities you did. Thank you to the countless co-workers I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside. We’ve been through some battles together. We’ve walked some incredibly hard and difficult roads in these 7 years. We lost friends. We hurt. But we grew. And persevered. And won. Oh we won! And we had an absolute blast! There are literally hundreds and hundreds of student-athletes I’ve been blessed to work with and to call friends - far too many to thank here. Always know this: you guys and girls are rockstars. You are shining examples of what college athletics is supposed to be. I am a far better person for knowing you. I have been far from perfect, but I have always tried to keep our student athletes and their growth, development, and well-being as my guiding star while being the best representative of my alma mater I could. Although my time on staff at @hailstate is over, I will continue roaming the field as the sideline reporter for @hailststefb and @learfield. Stay tuned (or don’t 😂) for updates on my future plans. God bless and #HailState! Remember, at MISSISSIPPI State, faMily means everything. What a ride …

Anyone that likes the score on the @SuperBowl have the font on their iPhone set to that gigantic setting. And still wear reading glasses.

Awful. I mean what in the world is @NFLonFOX doing with this? You can read it from like 3 rooms away.

Just a couple @HailStateFB Dawgs as captains that’s all. Proud of both those dudes @bigplay24slay @StoneColdJones.

Cooper. Flagg.

GREAT @HailStateMBK road win despite our atrocious shooting from the line.

Thank goodness it isn’t NBA where ball is advanced to mid court.

That’s not a foul. Holy sh*t

Seriously if the crazy lady fan is your relative you really need to check on her. She’s not well.

Good news is we are really shooting free throws well. Brutal.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the crazy fan lady for @UGABasketball but boy does she need a beer … or 10

Let’s go, Jackets! 🖤💛 🖤💛

Cal walked into Rupp, shook hands with fans, took some pictures, and then proceeded to absolutely whip Kentucky.

It feels like we are just settling with our shot selection.

Our last several offensive possessions were absolutely awful.

@CoachRyanOsborn and @CoachTGrantham back in the saddle together again leading the @CowboyFB defense. Love it!

Someone please tell Kirk it’s JuDkins not JuNkins.

And Silas Walker

Here here! I’m with you both. Give me a Doe’s steak (or Como Steakhouse steak) and I’m all good. Oh and don’t leave out the whiskey! Great story, John.
