Family, airplanes, sportswriting/sportscasting, bicycles, house projects, and much else manage to fill my lonely hours. Tweets are mine alone.

@Sydney_Supple Very true. The great ones always raise everyone else's game.

@NWLbaseball @AndrewEvenson @flosports @FloCollege Now why would you want to alienate a fan base like that? Wait, don’t an$$$wer.

A true joy to spend 90 minutes tonight with Wisconsin Basketball Hall of Fame coach John Mielke, talking hoops. Sometimes chance meetings create the best conversations. #wisbb

@63Kohn @CoryJennerjohn And the teams could fly directly into Waunakee International Airport just down the street from Cory’s house.

@SickosCommittee @PKnappy You made the chart!

@TravisBOUND @CoachYashinsky Rotator cuff strain while reaching for mayonnaise.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@atrupar He’s new here, right?

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@UWOCoachLewis It’s been a pleasure having you here and getting to know you! Hopefully our paths will cross regularly in the future.

After more than 50 games broadcast this basketball season and thousands of words written, my season wrapped up tonight with the state championship. Thanks, hoops season, and thanks for the memories. @thescorewi @whby @Bound_wi @LUvikings

Annnnnd, we’re off! State tournament 45 for me, this year covering for @WHBY and @Bound_wi - plenty of familiar faces already here.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@TravisBOUND (going into gravely old-man voice...) "And back in the day, we had to shovel off the field and courts so we could get frostbite during the first practice. And we were grateful!" 🙃

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@RobDemovsky On the upside, all the shoveling meant I didn't have to work out at the Y the past two days. Mother Nature took care of that part right here at home. (Cardio, weight training, high-intensity intervals - all at once!)

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@jimmiekaska @TitanTVSports You’re right, Jimmie. We appreciate the ones who care. Always happy to help the next group coming up who take the time to do the prep work.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@CoryJennerjohn Get out your charge card, Cory. Those places charge rental fees these days. I miss those places, too, except the Brown County Arena locker room area (water stained, falling ceiling tiles) and the scoreboard guaranteed to go out at least once during the three-day run.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@RobDemovsky In all my years covering sports, Bob Harlan was one of only two people I interviewed who seemed incapable of lying or fabricating.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@RobDemovsky @MWCSports @BQuillmanQcast @d3datacast @OACBBallShow @d3hoops Well, that’s… something.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@JordanLoppnow No disrespect, but the JV games aren’t about you, Jordan.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@CoryJennerjohn @JimmyJoeOskola One has to do with the lack of outstate D1 schools in western and northern Wisconsin. Another is this eternal outcry to make the state tournament “NCAA Lite”. Until recent years and 5 divisions, it was a geographical focus early.

[Dick Knapinski @dknapinski]

@Super70sSports On the upside, we can now write in a code that under-30s cannot decipher…
