More valuable than many sparrows. MO State alum. Noted small-school HS football enjoyer.

@iicftoyou I spent a couple of seasons as that team's beat writer for the student paper. Leamy is such a good guy and gives a tremendous interview.

@JKessingerSGF I memorized the keyboard shortcut for it, therefore I am grandfathered in.

@MarkSpillane_ I discovered upon moving to STL that it's more than just Imo's who makes the stuff. People here look at you like you have three heads when you say you don't like it.

@ianharber It pains me that I've lost some of my favorite tools to tech that frequently uses too many words to communicate a point.

@JohnHough__ It's such a shame. I hope well-run, ethical outlets like GSV, or what Chris Duerr and Shuckman are doing in Quincy with Muddy River, become the norm.

This is both exciting and a little bittersweet. I owe Wyatt a ton for where my career is now. He set a high standard in SGF, and will be an asset to the folks in Manhattan.

I've tried so many versions of this post, and have struggled not to tear up, so here it goes:

This week is my last covering sports in Southwest Missouri.

I love you, and I'm so thankful for you all. https://t.co/GGinUKitT6

@WyattWheeler_NL @USATODAY @CJOnline @tommydeas @RashawnFranklin Best of luck, Wyatt. You're going to crush it.

@IslesVideos The weird thing is this line did kind of work for a time

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@PresbyInn @AshlandPresby I grew up in a small town of 2,000 in rural Missouri and went to a Christian Church (Restorationist). The building constructed in 1916 had a wrap-around balcony like this one. They said it was built to fit 600-800 people at max capacity. Definitely a different time.

@WyattWheeler_NL I remember Stokes going absolutely nuclear during a Pink and White tournament run a few years back, then being puzzled why she didn’t go D1. Glad to see it work out in her favor since she got to SGF.

THE SAVE AND THE GOAL!!!!!! ILYA SOROKIN.

@IslesFix Gotta pay respect to Prime Time Alan Quine

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@PostenPatrick @WyattWheeler_NL As someone who saw some of Ford's better years, he built great rosters. However, there was a problem getting the full potential out of those players. See the last year with Prim, Mosley. That's a team that should've won Arch.

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@pHalfacre_STL Fantastic choice of venue

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@WyattWheeler_NL The “It’s Off” headline that went with your game story summed up that day well

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@DrJordanBCooper I love my state and my city, but Imos and all of the other places that serve that style are indefensible.

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@lymanstoneky Not a book, but The Pruitt-Igoe Myth (documentary) does a good job showing how things tumbled after WWII

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

@ddocket Big props to the player who let me take his helmet after watching me stare at the sunset thinking there might be a good shot with that backdrop

[Stephen Terrill @Stevethe2nd]

Football season is a beautiful thing.
