This is my friend Ethan playing the national anthem at UMass vs Dayton game tonight. I have been blessed to call Ethan a friend for many years and he is the most musically talented person I know. Ethan also has autism but he never lets that define him as he should tonight!

Life update! I’m looking for full-time jobs both inside and outside journalism in the Buffalo area. Regardless of where I end up, my writing will live on at @basket_review this season. I’ll be covering college basketball nationally with columns, profiles, features, etc. ⬇️

I’m sure this is the first of many for me as a senior but it just sunk in that tonight’s game against Ball State will be the last football game I broadcast at McGuirk with WMUA Sports I’ll be on the sideline with @MattFW_4 and @AidanTarr6 in the booth. 7:00 kick off

March Madness ‘RedZone’ would change lives Make it happen @JonRothstein It’s 2026, College Basketball ‘RedZone’ in general needs to exist…so many games on simultaneously and still deserves eye balls

College basketball belongs in buildings like this. Not football stadiums.
Special Thx to @TheFieldOf68 for putting on the Marathon. Terrific seeing the crew in Sioux Falls. The lack of sleep is essentially Bracket Spring Training. Amazing that certain national CBB folks are ignoring the Marathon, that's an embarrassment. It's CBB culture at its core.
