The amount of people that email me on a regular basis just asking for apparel, gloves, cleats, jerseys, helmets, balls, etc. is insane. I swear I get 5 request a week.

When I think about Coach Clark, it's hard to put it in words that make any sense. Just flashes of memories. Trident Tropical Twist, Trident Watermelon Twist, Blue expos. A little Fire on the Mountain, a little Country Roads. Breaking down in his office when I turned down the opportunity I once had at Ole Miss to stay at App State. His distaste for the pre-game music unless it was Itz Boobie (Jalen Moore). It's faded hoodies, custom hoodies, and laughing at the superstitions. Its him pulling me aside in 2019 trying to help me get out of Coach Drinkwitz doghouse early in his tenure. It's how grateful I was to have him around for 9 years. It's the pick axe, Bombs over Baghdad, and Sandpaper that *** comments. It's hearing on the headsets the coaches box reactions during the 2018 New Orleans bowl. It's having to teach the OL coach how to operate 3 channels on Coach Comm during the 2019 New Orleans bowl. Its him breaking down the day he issued the game ball to Jonelle. His devotion to his family & his mentors. RUN THE BALL. It's the last spring practice we had in 2020 being at 6 AM in the snow before spring break & him being upset with the effort & execution from the team & him deciding to do 40 straight minutes of move the ball, live tackling team run in the red area. It's so much more. He wouldn't want me to mope around, he'd know that the show goes on. The show does go on. I will always remember working for Shawn Clark & always be grateful for everything he allowed me to do or be a part of. Thank you coach! Pray for the Clark family.

I heard on the radio this morning it's National Son's day. Really it's just an excuse to show how big my boy is getting. He's not even 3 years old yet.

Max Versrtappen is going to win this race.

Honored to work with a great program for as long as I have. Thank you for the shout out.
