1st day of preseason camp is in the books for @OhioStateFB & I can’t wait for the season! Thanks to the REAL people who brought Big Ten football back. That’s all of the AD’s, Presidents, Coaches, Players, Parents, Administrators & true Twitter Heroes. They are the real MVP’s.

Fired up to hit the road recruiting, but will not compare to watching my boy ride his bike without training wheels for the first time last night. Proud of you, @Maddox73360929

End of an era today at Illinois State.
We celebrated together this afternoon as Coach Rob Judson closed out a remarkable coaching career. Coach Jud was a tremendous asset to our program over the past 3 years. His legacy will carry on here for years to come!
On behalf of our entire basketball family, I want to thank Rob and his wife Kim for the imprint they have left on our Redbird Basketball program.
Enjoy retirement — you have earned it!

Coach Holt’s comments are spot-on. There is no place for these type of crazy threats toward anyone — ever.....especially our players.

What a great tribute to an even better person. Greg Oden is one in a million! A great ambassador for @OhioStateHoops and a true role model for our current players.

Shout out to our administration & facilities staff for this. Very cool for our student-athletes to be able to use this as an additional training space! Lot of great games played in this venue. Maybe a few more to come………
Very cool to see @ISURedbirds put the retro hardwood to use in Horton for additional practice space over the summer!

A memorable afternoon! Thank you to our administration for their vision & foresight. Thanks to all of our employees (too many to mention) for executing the plan. Playing a game in a facility that hasn’t seen hoops in 34 years is no small undertaking. Thank you Redbird Nation!
