A PIA Notre Dame fan sitting behind us (complaining about every call 😂) took this photo of Rick Littleton, CJ Winand and me at Kyle Field, Texas A&M University on August 31, 2024. We lost the game, but delusional optimism will live on. There’s always next week

Did you know there are marine animals on the planet that have been around well before the dinosaurs?! Horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils, these amazing sea creatures have been around for over 400 million years! 🧵 ⤵️ #MarineMonday
