Watching Les Misérables. That Javert really holds a grudge. You'd think Valjean stole his wife rather than a loaf of bread.
Ken "SID" Kortemeyer was recognized today for his service and Christian commitment to USF. He's an alum, a former AD, SID and golf coach, and he still serves as the senior athletic administrator and as an adjunct instructor. Well deserved after 55 years at USF!💜 @USFCougars_
Had an awesome Sioux Falls Data Science Community Quarterly Luncheon at the new @CitySiouxFalls Public Safety Administration Building today. Great group of people working on awesome things!
Vikings had a prime opportunity to trade for Kirk Cousins
The Falcons really don't want the Vikings to have a QB next year, huh?
You are looking LIVE at Bob Young Field as the @USFCougarsFB prepare to host the MSU-Moorhead Dragons in a spring scrimmage. Oddly, I am in the booth and @tfredmuggs is playing the role of #sidelineBuddy today.
UConn was the first to 69 this evening. Tonight UConn will win its 112th straight game when it reached 69 before its opponent. UConn will also win its SIXTH National Championship.

Most annoying NCAA tournament commercials: Don't Let Me Go (iPhone/T-Mobile) What a Pro Wants (AT&T) Any others?
Should I take a break from Twitter for a few months after tonight's game?
I have removed my name from the Kentucky basketball coaching search

@ChadBirger I've read this one! @JD_Carp had a copy that I powered through a few times, to the point where a few pages fell out lol
@ChadBirger @WittD2Football @GPACSports Twitterless Barry is great. There’s so many things he wrote I wish I could dig up. He wrote fictional articles for an entire season about a team he just made up. Good stuff.
Thank you @CoachLueds for the camp invite!
@ChadBirger @GPACSports @WittD2Football That looks very interesting!
@ChadBirger @GPACSports My guy Barry Fouts. Very good stuff.
