In 2012, I met Mike Leach in a hotel elevator. I was wearing an A-State T-shirt. He said, “Arkansas State. Great rugby team”! The next 2 minutes, I exhausted all my knowledge about rugby. When I tried to switch to football, he had no interest. Just wanted to talk rugby! 😂

There are 32 states that have multiple FBS teams.
Until now, 31 of those states have witnessed in-state FBS matchups.
Only 1 state has not.
That finally changes this weekend.

I’ve honestly never worked with a finer person than Tommy Raffo.
Took an under-resourced program & made them competitive in one of the toughest leagues in the nation.
Universally respected throughout the Sun Belt & the world of college baseball.
First class in every way!

Working in sports, we hear the word “hero” get thrown around often. Tonight I’m thankful for the true heroes that responded so quickly today. Was nothing short of amazing!
Jonesboro Police, County Sheriffs and state police have set up a command post at Turtle Creek Mall. Emergency responders are out in full force. Stay at home please.

There was a time not too long ago that we actually stopped going to Murray State because the field conditions were so poor.
It was only in 2014 that they built stadium lights (and a grandstand)!
A little investment into baseball and now they’re going to Omaha!
What a story!!

They don’t get the headlines, but this has a chance to be a special group. @arudolph53 says that in 23 years of coaching, he’s never had a “closer, more tight-knit” group of offensive linemen. (They’re a deeper, more experienced & more talented group too). #WolvesUp

One of the gutsiest performances I can remember for an @AStateBaseball pitcher. @Natealberius was sitting at 90 pitches through 5 innings. Ends up going 8.1 innings and gets the win. @b_ritt21 gets the save for a 2nd straight night & A-State clinches series at South Alabama!

Been fun hanging around with @CoachBalado this season. After 1 year, it’s clear that @AStateMB has the right guy. He’s establishing a culture that will lead to a lot of wins & he’ll do it with high-character players that our fans can proud of. Year 2 will be fun!! #WolvesUp

Anyone who spent any amount of time around @NorchadO when he was in Jonesboro knows what a phenomenal human being he is.
Do we wish he were still here? Of course.

I know most of what I do on here is A-State related, but I couldn’t think of a better way to have spent the bye week. Going to Texas to celebrate my amazing grandmother’s 90th birthday. Then watching our Rangers beat the Astros in Houston at Game 1 of the ALCS Sunday night.

I’m not one who has ever complained about All-Conference selections, but when a player leads the league in assists AND assist/TO ratio in SBC play for the #1 offense in the league & is not selected, something went wrong.

WHAT A WIN!
As Mike Silva said all weekend, Coastal Carolina is an “Omaha caliber” team. They’re #5 in the RPI, but @AStateBaseball hung with them all weekend and pulled out a fantastic victory today. Jack Hibbard with 7 shutout innings and Chase Richter with a 2 inning save!

Consistently turned 50/50 balls to 80/20 & leaves here as 1 of 7 in @AStateFB history with over 2,000 career receiving yards.
Best of luck to this “PLAYMAKER” in all he does!!!

Was fun talking about the Quarterfinal win over the Cajuns with @thetruthballers.
18 points AND his first dunk of the year.

The 173 net rushing yards for @AStateFB was the most allowed by Alabama since Georgia had 193 on 10/3/15. That’s a span of 41 games. Alabama led the nation in rush defense the last 3 years & had allowed just 16 rushing yards vs. Louisville in Week 1.

Through 4 games: The @AStateFB QB combo of Logan Bonner & Layne Hatcher is averaging 326 pass yds/gm (would be the 8th highest avg of any QB in the nation). Have also combined for 14 passing TD’s (would be tied for 2nd in nation). Fun to watch both do well in a unique situation!

Congrats to @Jacob_Still, who will make his 50th career start today! That ties him with Colton Jackson for the most starts made by an @AStateFB player during the FBS era. Embodies everything it means to be a Red Wolf. His passion for this program is unmatched!
