So much love and #appreciation for this season. @thepeppas amaze me every step of the way. @VCU_Hoops always kills it on the court. We are in good hands. Last but not least appreciate @GoVCURamsAD for believing in me to allow me to return. I love @VCUAthletics Happy to be home

When 3 different set of parents tell me that their child now has @VCU as their #1 college choice because of their experience with @thepeppas and the fun they had at the @VCU_Hoops that means the world to me. These Peppas are incredible school ambassadors

Hey — this is an unusual request, but I could use your help. I’m trying to get something off the ground, and your support would mean the world. Even a share, follow, like, or comment makes a huge difference. Please read...

For me and my money this was the top of the mountain. No one knows how 6 years gone felt & #NoOne knows how year 1 being back feels. #Championship #EmpireStateOfMind @thepeppas @VCU_Hoops #JayZ @aliciakeys

I’m so grateful for the journey and season but a hill I will die on is the @NCAA does not care about spirit squads. I will be contacting them. To play 4 times, not be able to interact with our fans, to be jammed in a box and not have any room… the list goes on. Sad @thepeppas

Im disappointed in the game, mainly because a lot of fans don’t understand winning and will now abandon ship until we “get right”. We WILL get right. Man RELAX! Side note the band, whew 🔥🔥 It hasn’t been like that in awhile. And their energy 💯 Come take this ride with us

When coach Smart left for Texas….I went to visit. He told me his office was in the football stadium. It was at that moment I knew he messed up.

Long trip home so bear with me. I love what I do. I hope that shows. I really do. Your band can be impactful. Your band can have an effect on the game. Why won’t programs invest in the experience?

This #VCU fan base is wild. Or some of them....”The program is broken” 🤯 Are you kidding me? You guys have never suffered and it shows. You think people lose on purpose? Be upset when we lose then keep it moving.

To my family @thepeppas sooo much I can say but THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU is really how I feel. You all give me life. Give me headaches. Make me laugh and cry. That’s a full and beautiful day. I’m blessed beyond measure. ❤️ And we all love our @VCU_Hoops
