One year ago today, a selfless young man donated a sizable amount of his bone marrow to keep my daughter alive. We still don’t know who he is, but God does. I ask you to say a prayer for him today.
If you’re the praying type, I’d ask you to send one up for my youngest today.
After having headaches and tremors during the first semester, an MRI determined TJ has some excess spinal fluid in the brain. He’s having surgery this morning to remedy the problem.
Thanks!
Saddened to learn of the passing of Beth Holtz, wife of former
@NDFootball
coach Lou Holtz. She had endured 83 radiation treatments for throat cancer in her life. Eternal rest, Grant unto her, O Lord...
Accoring to the Indiana State Department of Health, on March 2, 2021, there were no deaths due to CoVID. That is the first day that has been reported since March 15, 2020.
I'm not looking for debate. I just think that's great news!
Today, I had the honor of hosting the
@NDSJV
“Conversation with Marcus Freeman” in conjunction with the 91st Knute Rockne Memorial Mass
The

coach spoke on a variety of topics. Here’s why

Today is the day! 186 days after bone marrow transplant,

Today is the day! After 136 days away and 116 days after her bone marrow transplant,
@mary_freeby
will see this sight in person this evening. She’s coming home!

Morning report: The transplant ended about 2:15 am....about 14 hours after it began. There was one really painful stretch around midnight as her blood pressure spiked, but her blood count is great this morning.
I am thrilled to report that my friend and colleague at
@WNDU
, the late Jeff Jeffers, has been elected to the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame! Well-deserved! Long overdue!
@ReillyJeffers
…so happy for your family!
Personal: Two years ago today, our daughter, Mary, went through her bone marrow transplant. The big bag on the right went into her, taking about 14 hours. From where she was that day...to where she is now ...healthy and teaching 3rd grade...we rejoice. Thank you for your 🙏.
Personal note:
Four years ago today, just after noon, Mary went through her bone marrow transplant. The big bag on the right went into her and it took about 14 hours. From where she was that day to where she is now ...healthy and teaching 3rd grade at her alma mater…we rejoice.
Sad to report former

Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to Jason, Brandee and Jayden.
Eternal rest, Grant unto him, O Lord and may God comfort those of us who mourn
Miracles still happen
Former Clay and
@buck_sports
coach Mike Kuntz has a son, Jason, who has endured several brain surgeries in his life. 28 days ago, Jason was sent home to die. Instead, doctors now find no bleeding near the brain. Doctors are calling his recovery a miracle.

Five years ago today, my daughter, Mary, had her bone marrow transplant. The big bag took 14 hours to go into her.
Today, she is healthy and in her 4th year as a 3rd grade teacher. We give God thanks and praise and rejoice. We also thank
@BeTheMatch
for her donor.
Personal note: In the last 365 days, I have lost 35 pounds.
While I admit I’m proud, I’m hoping this encourages others. Whatever change or goal you wish to pursue, know it’s attainable
Don’t be afraid. Tell others so you have accountability and have a really good “why”.
I asked
@tigerfbcoach
about the rivalry between
@WarsawTigerFB
and Plymouth. Somehow it evolved into an attempt to get NIL 💰 from King Gyros.
Welcome to the world of Bart Curtis!
They’ve done it! For the first time in school history,
@FHSFalconScores
reigns as
@IHSAA1
champion! They win the 3A girls basketball title with a 49-42 triumph over Corydon Central! Congratulations to

and the squad!
Friday night,
@bethany_bruins
standout Keshawn Smith scored 18 points vs. Fremont. Saturday, he died in an auto accident.
Our prayers and deepest condolences go to Keshawn’s family, his Bethany teammates and classmates and that community.

Hall of Famer…Father Walter Bly has been called to the home office at 90. He is rejoicing with the saints above and hopefully he heard the blowing of a ram’s horn at his arrival. Eternal rest, Grant him, O Lord…
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
I haven't taken a vacation in a while...and when I have, I still have tried to keep you updated on here. I need to take a break from here. I'm sorry if I miss a birthday, score or news.
Good Lord willing, I'll be back Sunday or Monday.
When
@CavemenFB
visits
@WarsawTigerFB
Friday night, it reunites two great friends. The unique relationship between
@tigerfbcoach
and
@KeithKinder2
is hard to describe, but the next 100 seconds or so should give you an idea…and maybe a chuckle or two.
For 31 years, we’ve had as much variety as 31 flavors of Baskin-Robbins, but one thing has always been the same…Diane has been right by my side for every step. There may be a lot of “rocky road” and not much “vanilla”, but I am over the “blue moon” in love with her every day.
15 years ago today, I walked in the door of
@46Sports
for the first time as Sports Director. Continue to be grateful for the opportunity to serve the station, the community, and you, the sports fan.
I’m so blessed today and every day. Special thank you to my first radio partner Vince Turner for presenting me today. To borrow from his theme, it is a wonderful life!
Will these colleges and universities which charge obscene amounts for room and board be offering a rebate for the time not allowed to be there? Not asking for a friend… Asking for me!
Yesterday, we prayed for the young man who donated the marrow. Today is the one-year anniversary of
@Mary_Freeby
receiving that marrow. Her progress has been amazing and we are so grateful to God and to all of you for your prayers and support.
Anniversary s/o to
@46Sports
follower and bride, the beautiful (inside and out)
@freebymomof6
! Thanks for 29 years of pushing yourself to sainthood by putting up with me!
Brothers Ian and Tyler Raasch have been a major part of the
@NW_PantherBBall
success this season. Their growth on the court is only exceeded by their growth in life, having to deal with the death of their Mom, Pauline, just 18 months ago.
Our prayers and condolences also go out to the
@SaintJoeHigh
family, who lost two students over the weekend. All athletic events for St. Joe tonight have been cancelled.
Personal note: A year ago today we went public with
@Mary_Freeby
’s diagnosis of PNH. Our family can’t thank everyone enough for the prayers, love and support you have given us. She still has hurdles to clear, but we are blessed to be well on the road to recovery.
To all the athletic directors, admins, coaches and assistants who have had to go way past the extra mile during this pandemic, enjoy these days off. And thank you for all you’ve done to help student-athletes play!
Brian Kelly becomes the first Notre Dame football coach to leave directly for another school.
Holtz retired, but then resurfaced at South Carolina
Davie was fired, then hired later at New Mexico
But nothing like tonight has happened in Notre Dame football history.
Hey, I’ve got a follower that has a sister who waited five years for a kidney transplant. She’s getting it right now! If you’re the 🙏 type, send one up for this lady.
My father-in-law is having spinal surgery today. If you're the praying sort and wouldn't mind sending one up (again) for our family, we'd appreciate it.
Three weeks ago,
@srusso0624
was playing JV. Today, he pitched 6-2/3 innings for
@elkhs_baseball
in the sectional to beat Penn.
Don’t pout, just keep working!
I don’t typically give birthday s/o’s to non-followers, but Rita Price Simpson deserves it. The Hall of Fame Sportscaster — who has a radio studio and basketball court named for her — will celebrate her 80th by calling a sectional championship game tonight!
I can’t tell you how happy I am that my friend
@jarnett34
is being named as the
@IHSAA1
outstanding official for girls basketball. A finer man, you will not find.
