Larry was the AD during my tenure at Akron while I also grew to become friends and colleagues with two of his kids, Kristin and Lou. RIP to a great man!
This loss hits home for the #NACDAfamily. Larry was a friend to all of us, especially in @Browns country. Keeping the Williams and @DonsAthletics families in our thoughts and prayers 🙏

Somone find me another year of eligibility for the 2015 squad so the team could at least make it back to the damn Idaho Potato Bowl. Give me Tommy Woodson, Jerome Lane, Jatavis Brown, Cody Grice, Ulysees Gilbert, Robert Stein, and freaking Matty Hoyer!
FINAL. Focus | Fight | Finish #212Degrees 🌡🔥📈

Best of luck to @ZipsWBB on their upcoming run at one of my favorite events of the year, the @MACSports basketball tournament! Great to see such a deserving team and coaching staff reap the rewards of their continuous hard work rebuilding the program over the past four years!

Most underrated people in sports broadcasting... the camera men and women that can spot a golf ball flying in the air with their camera. I have trouble seeing the ball off the tee most times when I hit the ball in person! #USOpengolf

How many @MACSports champions is this guy 👇🏼going to be a part of this year! 😱@MikeCihon

For the first time in 5 years, I’m watching the @Browns and @NFL Sunday on the couch and not in the FirstEnergy Stadium pressbox covering a @ZipsWSOC game. Guess I wasn’t missing much!
I wrote Dubois’ press release when he got drafted in 2016. Pretty cool to see PLD make such a big impact for #CBJ on the ice!
GAME. SET. MATCH. PLD HELPS US WIN IT IN OT.
Unfortunate update on my job at the University of Akron. UA has been my home for the past nine years but will soon come to an end as my position was one of the 178 cut during these trying times. #ForeverAZip
