This 7-week-old girl attends her first football game today (@RedbirdFB at Colo State). Her grandfather will broadcast the game and she’ll listen on @tunein (also available at 1 pm on @WJBC AM1230, FM93.7) to hear if he gets it right. @ISURedbirds @LearfieldLive @SportsWjbc

@Z_Schroeder I enjoyed getting to know you, Zach. From what I have been told, you did wonderful work for Redbird Athletics. Keep up your great work in your next venture, and, most importantly, in the raising of those beautiful boys.

@AustinDuncan33 Sorry to hear about Matt Roggenburk. I remember watching (and journalistically covering) Creighton’s games with the Redbirds when Roggenburk and Porter Moser were Blue Jays. And I remember Porter talking with me about how his college teammates influenced him.

@Joe_Brand1 @LenKasper @ESPN1000 @WGNRadio Congrats, Joe. Hope you’re having a great broadcast.

@Pg_Benson This is great news, Spence. Congrats!

@PorterMoser At Arch Madness this season, I don’t recall seeing the MVC Tournament bracket through my hotel room window. Of course, that bracket was a bit easier to keep track of than the one you are now part of. Keep up the great work, Porter.

@kindrabruninga @Redbird_MBB @DanMuller @taylorbruninga I loved the opportunity to verbally document Taylor’s college basketball career. And I very much enjoyed interacting with him.

@EricLapan @RedbirdFB @Learfield @WJBC It was. It’s always been my belief that almost all of the puns written or stated are intended.

[Dick Luedke @DickLuedke]

It’s been 440 days since @RedbirdFB played a game. @Learfield coverage of today’s matchup with South Dakota begins at 11 am on @WJBC AM 1230. College football returns to Normal!!!

@Hummdinger What I do get is that the significant interest that you and other Redbird fans have in the outcome of Redbird games motivates you to listen to what I have to say on the radio. That’s a dream-come-true for me. And so thanks to you, and to many others, for that.

Cicely Tyson! The first influential message to me that Black Lives Matter came in the 1972 movie in which Cicely Tyson starred, “Sounder”. I would have loved to have gotten the chance to tell her there is no film that had a more profound influence on who I am than that one.

[Dick Luedke @DickLuedke]

@Hummdinger Wow! Thank you, Kevin. That means a lot to me.

@KyleBrennanISU The trail that Linda, Jill, Melinda and Leanna have helped blaze has allowed females to fully realize the benefits of competitive athletics. Those benefits were not available to the girls with whom I grew up. This is a reason to be proud of a connection to Redbird athletics.

@kindrabruninga Recent happenings in our nation have helped me to understand even more than I did the impact Martin Luther King, Jr had on our society.

@BradWellsTV @rcmcbride @thekapman @Redbird_MBB @IndStMBB @KurtPegler Good to hear it went well, RC.

[Dick Luedke @DickLuedke]

@Pg_Kindred Thanks for telling Larry’s story, Randy. He is a high-quality radio play-by-play announcer. When I listen to other guys do what I love to do, I often learn how to do my job a little better. Larry is among those who has taught me some good stuff.

[Dick Luedke @DickLuedke]

@KurtPegler @DaveSnellKaboom @ed_hammond88 @BradleyBraves @bradleyumbb @BradleyWBB @ISURedbirds @Redbird_MBB @1470WMBD @WJBC Nicely done, Kurt. Glad to have been part of it.

[Dick Luedke @DickLuedke]

@Pg_Kindred @Pantagraph As Mr. Kellar and Mr. Kindred both know, when you live in this community, going nowhere can be the most wonderful place to go. I have learned that as well.

@DaveReynolds2 Your quality work and your lofty journalistic standards have inspired a lot of people, Dave, including me. I’m guessing you’re going to have a good time sitting back and reflecting on your career.
