RIP @LouisGossettJr . I’ll never forget meeting him at a Lakers game when I was like 5 or 6 and asking him to sign my Iron Eagle picture.
Is it just me or has there been way more blowouts this @MarchMadnessMBB than most years? Competitive games few and far between
Enjoyed my weekend @GlazierClinics . Loved talking DBs, 3-Hi, ST, and Air Raid with @lapan_jeremy @CoachMacJason @Coach_DCollins @CoachGregBurns and more. Thanks for investing the time Coaches. I got better this weekend.
We are going to give 10 random coaches that repost this and follow us, a 1-year subscription to Glazier Drive ($95). We’ll pick the winners in 72 hours
U-2 Spyplane cruising at 70,000 feet
Final Air Force checkride complete, and made instructor pilot in my third Air Force aircraft. Feels surreal to be done.
Showed up to @panerabread in Prattville today. Ordered a salad. Was informed that their salad machine had “exploded.” Unsure what a salad machine is or what components might explode.
College sports is just better when @VMIAthletics and @Citadel1842 are in the same conference.
Merry Christmas from the Shapiro family
Welcome to all the new @VMI_Football Keydets. There will be a lot of good times and a lot of hard times over the next 4, but when you look back you won’t regret a second of it.
BL the playoff simply isn’t big enough to avoid this controversy at the 4 spot every year. Looking forward to controversy over the 12 spot next year.
Thanksgiving Dinner Plate Thoughts
#OTD in 1969, the U-2R spyplane began tests on USS America as part of Project Whale Tale. The project was developed to determine if carriers could be used to launch and land U-2s. The smaller, more fragile U-2G had conducted a successful mission from USS Ranger in 1964.
To all the Keydets entering the transfer portal, thank you for all you’ve done for VMI and VMI football. I wish you the best of success in your next chapter and I have no doubt that the tenacity you’ve shown on the field and in barracks will carry you forward to great things.
What a day to be a VMI Keydet!!!

@BvLockwood Yup… Ammo lived a full and happy life. I happen to run across her handler on Facebook years ago. It was awesome to find out that she retired outside of London, England and enjoyed cheeseburgers as a treat.
Since we’re talking dogs, I once flew into the Helmand to pull a wounded EOD K-9 off the X. The moment was so surreal that I whipped out my camera and snapped this horrible photo. 14 men, went after that dog like they would any other critically wounded service member.
Springball in the books, looking forward to this upcoming season‼️#shakebackszn #aclcomebck
