Parents....if I am a college coach and see your daughter come over to the bleachers to listen to your instruction during a game, she is crossed off of my list #RealTalk

- I have yet to hear any reports of a Covid break out at a high school fall sporting event and I am everywhere. What sense does it make to not allow the student athletes to play this winter? Limit or deny fans if needed, it has been proven it can be done. @GovMikeDeWine
- For the NCAA to disrespect their female athletes like they have this week is inexcusable. I don’t wanna hear any crap about revenue from all of you haters of women sports, what they did was wrong and you know it.
- I want to thanks my friends at the @OHSAASports for all of your hard work to create the new football opportunity. For those complaining, stop. They are trying to put something together for these kids so give them a chance and let the kids enjoy their season.
- Most of us have abided by his little mask rule, we have canceled Thanksgiving and are staying away from friends. But to not have a parent or legal guardian at a sporting event of a minor child should not be up for negotiations. Absolutely NOT. Parents need to be there!!!
- Players that score a lot of points make a team exciting. Players who play defense makes a team win. #Basketball101
- I know everybody’s worried about scoring points, but sometimes you can be the best player on the floor and not score a single point. What else can you do to help your team? Rebound, defend, pass the ball and play hard! 🏀🏀
- Dear fall sports fans, Please follow the rules when it comes to masks and social distancing at these HS fall sporting events. Believe me, I hate this mask garbage, but it’s not about me or about you. It’s about giving these kids a chance to play. Don’t ruin it for them.
- Parents: when your daughter has a bad game...trust me she knows she has a bad game. Don’t make the ride home, or the evening at home miserable. Let her recover and odds are, she will get it fixed. #SaturdayVibes
- 3) Ball is not life, ball is just part of your life. Don’t give up your chance to be a kid to be in the gym 24/7 all summer. Yes put in your time in the gym, but also put in your time at the pool, and at the mall, and on vacation, and with your friends.
- Indiana’s mask mandate ends today. Must be nice 😔
- Travel ball is good, but there is NOTHING like sitting in a gym with screaming fans, rowdy student sections, a championship on the line....playing for your school and your community...cutting down the nets...pep rallys..... and celebrating with your friends that you grew up with.
- It’s nice to see pics all over Twitter of UConn, ND, OSU, & bigtime Power 5 coaches who are on your sidelines. But why don’t you ever show pics of Tiffin, Cedarville, Urbana, Wittenberg, Capital & Otterbein? You know......the great schools where many of your kids will be playing?
- Replying to @CodifyBaseball and @TribSportsEver heard of Greg Maddux? From 1992-1998 his highest season ERA is 2.72 with 4 straight Cy Youngs. 1994- 1.56 ERA 1995- 1.63 ERA
