[Andrew Sawyer @andrewdsawyer]

When I was 15 years old, my dream of playing for Trenton came true. Now, 15 years later, my dream of coaching Trenton has come true as well. I’m thrilled to become the 10th Head Coach of the program that means so much to me, my family, and so many others.

Let’s Go Trojans.

@stoolpresidente @Gametime My wife hates you so this may cause a rift in my marriage but I’m willing to risk it all for this game. I attended U of M during the Hoke era and a prof dropped me from their class for attending the sugar bowl. Would love to bring wife, dad, and uncle @Gametime p.s. we know ball
