We have thought for a week that my 101+ yr old Dad is in his last few hours of life. 5:20am this morn phone rang. His cell. Thought the sitter had bad news. Dad says “ you gotta come explain that game to me”. Be right there Dad. #HailState

- This morning at the airport, @NDBaseball head coach Link Jarrett came up and gave me this.. his game hat from last night. Goes on my wall. In 37 years, I’ve never hauled a classier bunch: players, coaches, staff, families. And BTW...They r a pretty dang good baseball team
- Lost my 101 yr old dad yesterday. In my career I have dealt with PHD’s, Head Coaches, and other smart people, but this man is by far the smartest I have ever known. He instilled in each of his family that nothing is free in life. You work. I thank God each day that he is my dad.
- To the @RazorbackBSB fan who stuck this to my new bus... I have good friends who work in your athletic dept, and know them to be first class. But you my fickle idiot, are one classless piece of crap, and I will be glad to discuss it with you face to face.
- Sitting in parking lot at Indianapolis airport waiting on MSU track team and airport police officer walks up. Thought I was fixin to get a lecture or something. Says “I’m from Kosiciusko. Can I take a picture of my home bus?” Small world. Bulldogs everywhere. #HailState!!
- Chris Lemonis just gave a glowing tribute to Coach Polk. What a class act. So many coaches would beat their chests. This guy is truly genuine. Lucky to have him here.
- So proud of this guy. He’s overcome so much. The loss of his mother. Losing his brother. The contract issues. A devastating injury. Yet through it all he is just @dak. He comes home and just hangs out with @HailState. Family! Love ya brother. You deserve it all.
- With all this guy has overcome, this latest obstacle is but a bump in the road. He will be back and he will be better. Prayers for you, my good friend. @dak #HailState
- Been sitting on my front porch watching the weather. Wife comes to the door. “Come inside The storm is coming straight up highway 12”. I told her to relax, the traffic light at Wendy’s would never let it turn left.
- There are good athletic team and first class athletic teams. I had the privilege of hauling Texas A&M Volleyball today and you can tell that @AggieVolleyball is one of the first class teams by the way they left the bus. All trash collected and bags tied. Gigem!!
- In Beaumont Texas along with 399 other buses and drivers assisting with Hurricane Laura evacuation. Rain has just begun. Gotta try to outrun 135 mph winds. @RichardCrossSTM and @thejtshow think I can. HailState
- Outrunning yet another airplane. Next stop OMAHA!! @NCAACWS
- Rocky Felker lost his sweet wife Susan this morning following a long battle with cancer. All Bulldog prayers go out to this wonderful family. Without a doubt she was one of the strongest people of faith I have ever known. There is no doubt where she is this morning!
- Two @HailState Stars. Jack Lasorko RHP for Ron Polk 77-78. And the legendary @dak What an honor for these two to stop by in Frisco to check on the old bus driver. So proud of both these guys. Representing both MSU and themselves in a first class manner. HailState
