Gary Tyrrell

Possibly the ACC’s most storied trombonist. Weaning myself from this site, except for sh*tposting to Cal fans, and instead posting as thegarytyrrell on Bluesky.

@stanfordgarycat @TomeiTyler (If I told you how I really started that day, you’d be more impressed…) 🪊🌲🍻🍾😎

@stanfordgarycat @TomeiTyler I started that day on Colorado Boulevard, balancing the Stanford Tree on my shoulder.

@TomeiTyler This is great! Also comforting to see that I’m not the only packrat…

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson went to Stanford. Good point guard.

Either NBA coaches are getting young or I’m getting old — but I went to college with the guy. Crazy! Congratulations

Joe Roth told only a handful of people about his illness. His death on Feb. 19, 1977, just weeks after playing in the Hula Bowl and Japan Bowl, was a great shock. The moving film about Joe's life & legacy, "Don't Quit," is an absolute must-see. https://t.co/e5gtVjQIOL

@Golden_Bearz @RollBear00 It’s not a competition; it’s an exhibition. Please: no wagering.

@MikeHotDogMayor @AmyTrask Mr. Mayor, my friend: on BG day, my crew and I gather in the Faculty Glade. I will plan to visit your tailgate that day and raise a glass at one of the best tailgate parties east of the Farm.

Just ordered my tix for the 129th Big Game [my 47th]. Before long, we'll need to schedule our Big Game Ice Cream Social with @AmyTrask. We have The Axe!

@ronkroichick @AmyTrask @UCBerkeley @Stanford @CalFootball Excellent! Re: The Axe — I hope she’ll accept a waffle cone instead.
