Clutching my pearls at the disrespect from these LSU baseball players!!!
What a crass celebration to do mid-game in a national championship!!!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
(as expected, zero outrage over male athletes doing this same celebration… the double standard is loud tonight)

@grimsleyfb
This team is so fun to watch and cover. Check out the video below for a guaranteed smile.
Wake Forest beats Pitt 91-75, and according to Alondes Williams, Dallas Walton looked like Klay Thompson and Tim Duncan going 3-3 from deep.
Alondes "Man Man" Williams has captivated the conference with his signature dunks, fierce competitive nature and lively personality.

Eight years apart…
The first photo is me, as a sophomore in college covering SU women’s hoops, thinking this was such a cool photo.
I decided to recreate it last week covering the NCAA Tournament. Just wondering why I look like a baby in the first one 😭
Important news for my Wake Forest followers: Drake’s new song “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole has a shout out to Wake.
“It’s like we recruited your homies to beat Demon Deacons, we got ‘em attending a Wake.” 🎩
The CFP committee ranks undefeated Wake Forest 9th.
This part kills me from one of the analysts: "I don't want to take anything away from what they've done, but..."
Brandon Childress knocks down a three to join the 1,400 points, 400 assists club. He's the fifth Deacon to reach that milestone (along with his dad Randolph Childress).
Brandon is the only active ACC player with 1,400 points and 400 assists 🎩

A few quick takeaways from my time in Winston-Salem so far:
1. Everyone is so nice
2. Having hardly heard them in my whole life, I think southern accents are very endearing
3. Multiple people have told me they wish they’d get “a little snow” down here 😂
