It’s okay to mention Jaiden Fields without bringing up Justin.
I PROMISE.
Unless y’all plan on bringing her name up during the NFL draft coverage it’s really not necessary.
All I’m gonna say is my family didn’t move from Houston to Tennessee in 1997 for people to tell me the Oilers have nothing to do with Tennessee and the Titans
I’m just gonna leave it with what Mrs. Amy said:
Hi, let’s please not forget the amount of pressure/expectations we put on Simone Biles when discussing Mikaela Shiffrin. Please stop calling her struggles an “all time Olympic disappointment” on national TV after putting those kind of expectations onto her
How it started How it ended
I’ve accepted a job at Texas Tech as assistant director of communications for volleyball and softball! It’s very bittersweet to leave UAB & all its amazing people so soon but I’m excited for this new journey!

Life update: I’M COMING HOME!
I am so grateful to everyone at Texas Tech, especially
@Matt_Dowdy
for believing in me! I will forever cherish my time in Lubbock and the people who made me feel so welcomed. But I am beyond excited for this new opportunity with my favorite team!!
Props to Cheyanne for being such a great sport & guest host this year & to the people of Broadway once again, I promise we could never script stuff as funny as the answers they gave us

What Larissa Anderson has done at Mizzou in such a short time is so impressive. You have to get them major props for this season, so thankful they were able to compete in the post season.

Biggest ones to me: felt like Bama & OSU took Stanford & Texas’ spots in the top 8 for whatever reason is claimed. Idk if I’ve ever seen a team lose 11 of their final 13 games and earn as high of a seed as OSU did.
lol the number of times I’d ask PA announcers if they had any pronunciation questions and they’d say “nope I think I’ve got it” and then butcher names that left my coaches staring at me like it was my fault 🙃
If you are a television broadcaster or PA announcer, please use your pronunciation guides and SID to get names right.
Prep work is really important and really respectful! Our athletes deserve to be recognized correctly no matter what team they play for.
Listen, I would NEVER change anything about my experience at Georgia. I loved the coaches and staff. But if there was any other coach I could’ve had the opportunity to work with I would’ve loved to work with Coach Torina. I’ve admired her and her program for years. Congrats!
So unbelievable proud of the

signed TE Marcus Santos-Silva, a 6-foot-6, 261-pound forward who played hoops for Texas Tech the last two seasons. Now, he’ll make the switch to football.
A 17-inning marathon, Rachel Garcia and a pinch-hit walk-off to take down No. 1 on the road. These are our top 3️⃣ games of the decade.
Which one do you remember?
The world needs more
@brookeYreed5
’s in it. Talk about selfless and willing to go the extra mile for just about anyone. One of the easiest people to work with and just damn good at her job. Could not be more grateful to her for everything she has done and glad to know her.
In a 25-year career that includes over 1,100 victories, 23 NCAA Tournament appearances, seven trips to the WCWS, and 38 All-Americans, Georgia’s Lu Harris-Champer has announced her retirement.

8 months ago if you would’ve told me I would have finished up my first season in the NFL with the team I grew up loving I would’ve laughed.
It was a season full of challenges & hate the way it had to end but appreciative of the lessons it brought along the way.

What a moment watching these girls celebrate after all their hard work. Making history for Texas Tech volleyball. 2020 was a difficult year, to see them stay the course and work hard for it all to pay off is priceless.
I hope Odicci knows that the result of this game won’t matter because the impact she has made on the sport is cemented. Young girls everywhere will pick up a softball because of her. A decade from now players at the WCWS will have been inspired to play by HER performance.
Major shoutout to
@tedfeeley
for giving young SIDs the experience and learning opportunities. UAB was the absolute best place I could’ve started my career with so many amazing people.
To use Katie’s expression: UAB is 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗨
In the last two years, four former UAB communication interns are now softball SIDs at:

, from 36 TOTAL home runs last season to 2nd in total home runs and 6th in HR/game with 41 home runs (1.52 per game) just 4 weeks into the season (the program single-season record is 66 btw)
Because let’s be real these decisions are made with football in mind when there are so many other sports that are impacted. Football plays once a week and can usually afford travel and accommodations fine. What about the smaller sports? What about WOMENS sports?
Several softball players who compete for schools that are leaving the Pac-12 have spoken out against the latest round of conference realignment.
They cited mental health and further distances for their families to travel for road games.
My family went to play mini golf on our beach trip, my brother couldn’t make his put, got mad and swung as hard as he could at the ball. It hit off a rock and hit the windshield of a car parked in the parking lot just as the owners were walking out to it.

The last time the Red Raiders went dancing, three of the current student-athletes on the roster had not yet been born. Six others were just a few months old.
We really need to teach more emotional intelligence to broadcasters and media members and evaluate how the messages they spread contribute to the stigmas around mental health.
It was not long ago Arkansas was practically an automatic win in the SEC, now they’re back-to-back regular season champs and 2022 tournament champs…incredible what Coach Deifel and staff (

) have done with that program
Moving back home last year after 9 years away has filled my heart with so much joy. I am so thankful to have been raised here & be surrounded by friends & family. There’s no place I’d rather grown up and I thank God every day he brought me back!

As a former SID I want to emphasis this. I have seen it happen MANY times. Thankfully my coaches allowed me to do my job but more than once have I been in situations where coaches try to dictate calls based on how it would impact their stats & pressure/threaten SIDs
After their opening loss to UCLA Florida State came alive. I admit I did not see it coming but they started playing on another level. Props to them on their first natty! Losing to the national champs doesn’t feel AS bad now 😂
This is super unfortunate for Indiana State but a lot of people who have probably never worked in college athletics are replying angrily at them for something they likely don’t understand the complexity of
15 minutes before my last event at UAB a coke exploded all over me and I had to sit soaked in soda for the entire soccer match which I feel like is a very fitting way to go out.
Goodbye UAB, never change! 💚💛
Once again a HUGE shoutout to our communications and creative teams for their work. They captured these moments perfectly and continue to kill it week in and week out!
Well done
