@UNCGVB @uncgspartans @UNCG @SoConSports Congrats. Let’s keep the momentum going.

@JonAriasRadio Very true! Bonus tip….working with analysts that “zoom out” and capture story lines, game themes and trends. Pete and Jess do a great job of that.

A Thank you to Faizon Brandon. @grimsleyfb Please read and share.
@faizon_brandon, you won on the field, you won in the courtroom, and most importantly, you won the right way. @Vol_Football is getting a phenomenal young man.

@Brewers Powder blue is my favorite color

Thankfull today for all the great broadcasters, AD’s, players and coaches I worked with in 2025. You guys make it so much fun.

@JonAriasRadio Can’t agree more and wished I heard this advice sooner. “You can’t think and hit at the same time”-Yogi. I hear a huge positive difference when I resisten to a game I called trusting my heart (even if I made mistakes) vs a call I used my brain and tried to be perfect.

@JonAriasRadio I do a lot of solo HS games, (zero stats) so I incorporated stats into my spotting boards. Surprised I don’t see more of this. Even with live stats I do it manually for college games I call too and it helps me a ton. I posted an college example of my board.

[Mike Fanning @Mike_Fanman]

@dmjones66 really impressed with your call from Tabor vs. St. Stephen’s. You guys sounded great. Could you share how you keep a drive summary and stats while calling game? Do you have a layout?

[Mike Fanning @Mike_Fanman]

Thankful and humble this week that UNCG gave me a chance to call WBB with some outstanding PxP guys. Thanks for making my first month so memorable.

A lot of stories about Satchel Paige last night at the Rickwood Field Game, but did you know today, 6/21/1966, at age 60, Satchel threw his final pro pitch right here in Greensboro. Playing for the Peninsula Greys, Paige pitched two innings against the Greensboro Yankees.
