@ProjectLincoln Ted Cruz is a truly coveted endorsement... To hope goes to your opponent. Ask pretty much any Texas sports team Ted has gone to cheer on in person. Kiss of death.

@CfbSelect Boise State. Grew up in Boise. Went to my first Bronco games at the age of 7. Boise State was known locally as a commuter school back in the 90s. I wanted the small college experience. Went to Linfield College.

@SickosCommittee As a life long Boise State Bronco, I love it. This rivalry was everything growing up in Idaho in the 80s and 90s. Everyone had a side. I hope we fake a punt for a touchdown when up by 40. BTW- Would not be the first time that has happened in the rivalry. Would be payback!

@ChrisV208 Love it. Love to hate the Vandals. If the plan is to host an FCS team each year, U ofI should be in the rotation. Hope we fake a punt up 50 in the 3rd quarter. I need that kind of beat down. This rivalry left scars for me growing up in Boise in the 80s and 90s.

@ESPNCFB Literally one single clip of Tulane back to back with one single clip of JMU. Anyone else find this a little disturbing? @BJRains @RedditCFB @SickosCommittee

@BJRains Not sure I'd call the product "premium." But I hope both guys put up their best efforts and can be proud regardless of who wins.

@RossDellenger This from the b e same conference that just said don't call it Farmageddon

[Swim Coach Alex @SwimCoachAlex]

@MattBrownEP This is ok in the Big 12, but don't you dare call that first game of the year Farmageddon!

[Swim Coach Alex @SwimCoachAlex]

@BJRains Young head coach. First year OC. I want to believe this was a growing pains defeat. What concerned me is this game felt like a carbon copy of Penn State. Focus on stopping run and force Maddux and wide receivers to win.

@TMFOtter Orlando. Area has so many different flavors and plenty of quality.

I just heard the greatest story of petty. @Jaywhy17 There is a light tower at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. It is exactly 132 ft. It is this height so that at night it shines a light every 32 seconds into the windows of the California Grill at Disney Contemporary Hotel.

@KibbieDome I’m a life long Bronco… it’s the kibbie dome, hands down. I love me some blue turf, but Albertson Stadium is not the greatest.

Merry Christmas! Remember to put your extra shoes and ammo up in the air ducts for John McClane tonight!

@notthefakeSVP A house divided. Merry Christmas!

[Swim Coach Alex @SwimCoachAlex]

Seeing the incredible lights of Christmas time in St Augustine, FL. I’m moved and motivated. Moved and motivated by this, my newly found life motto.

@MikeFPrater @Fiesta_Bowl @BroncoSportsFB @PennStateFball My wife is a Penn State grad and I’ve been a Bronco since I was six. I wondered if we’re were alone in this particular house divided situation. Seems we are not.

@TheHerdBros Plus a hall of fame wide receiver in that stretch.

No matter where I’m working, or where you’re swimming, I’ll still be claiming you all as my swimmers.

End of my coaching era. After 20+ years of swim coaching, and 17 years of swim coaching being my full-time profession, this morning marks my last day on the pool deck. This week, I accepted an offer to make a transition into a new field beginning after the new year.

[Swim Coach Alex @SwimCoachAlex]

I’m ready for my next challenge and I’m excited about the long term prospects in my next career. I’ve found myself misty eyed more than a few times this week. Thank you to all my swimmers and swim families for giving me the chance to have such a fun and memorable career.
