SID life not for everyone.
Parked at the stadium at 7:45 am and am leaving at 11:45 pm.
Set to drive 45 minutes home and then back in the morning for a 7:45 arrival.
Will score one game we aren’t playing and return home to prep for 8 games in 5 days starting Wednesday.
The next chapter of my professional life began today as an Assistant SID at
@TheSunDevils
. Never would have imagined this turn was still coming, but can’t wait to see how it unfolds. ☀️😈

@ASUSoftball
is in the books. People on the outside will have opinions, but I experienced an amazing group of women that took on everything with hard work, dedication and no excuses. They showed up every day and competed. So grateful to have been along for the ride.
Winning one game in KC is hard. To make the semis is amazing.
This program won 5 games in 2018-19 and 11 the next.

#BattleForTheRedBanner
The teams without logos on the
@espn
scoreboard aren’t supposed to win. Programs in their 5th season aren’t supposed to be competitive. OUAZ is a special place full of special people. So proud to be apart of it.
Reflecting on what
@OUAZMBB
has done this season to date. The first 7 losses are by a combined 16 points. Flip 4 of those and now their 27-5 and a 2-seed at worst.
Just one loss since January 23 (at
#7
) with 3 wins over top 17 ranked teams.
Picked to finish 7th preseason.
What an amazing night. My ASU journey began because I wanted to work this game and now it’s one of many amazing experiences I’ve had in the past 15 months. Looking forward to what’s next.
P.S. Full story on IG bc I don’t have enough space here.
Not sure why the refs took so long to call this a TD. They should have just checked with the guy in the white shirt behind the fence. Right
@CoachKeeleyOUAZ
? 😁
Hard to imagine that 3 months ago we were getting ready for another home
@ouazfootball
season, and now I head home with that complete. What a ride all 4 games were. I’m proud of what the team (4-0), staff, fans, and city did this season.
I seem to remember being told we don’t sell enough tickets to warrant a credit card machine at the gate.

It’s never fun to write the gamer when the season ends, but this team was picked to finish 7th in the GSAC. They went and won the conference tourney, won a game at the national tournament, and had a shot to tie in the closing seconds. Proud isn’t enough. Thank you

Weather made a long weekend even longer for many. Big time props to
@ASUGroundsCrew
for working like crazy to get this place ready. Looking like we are going to get this day started on time.
Summary of my past 4 weekends inputting every pitch, ruling every error, and tracking every home run.
Runs: 493
Hits: 757
Errors: 97
Home Runs: 87
Strikeouts: 533
Not mentioned, too many hours to calculate and roughly 6 billion stairs taken.
Thank you to all that visited Club Farrington during these past few weeks. Your support is what makes our home a premier venue in the country.

Wouldn’t be right to leave the last football home game of the season without a pic of the building. Next week we officially move to the other side and open the arena with some hoops.
Saturday was the last night

Good luck at

Hard to imagine a night like tonight so soon.

won 2 conference game just 3 seasons ago and tonight they are conference champs. What a thing you have started

Pac-12 leads the way with 4 into Supers and UCLA isn’t one of them. Let that sink in when you try and say it’s not the best softball conference in the country.

#NCAASoftball
So many have thoughts about the stuff going on lately, but if you truly care about the student-athletes like you say, then you will be here tonight to support them.
14 months ago I came here to only this field. Tonight I worked a game and wrote my football postgame story from the press box for the first time. Not done yet but this step was a big one.
#WeAreOUAZ
As cool as it was to be with these guys on the field, the reaction they had on the bus when they figured out what we were doing is something I will never forget. My profession is about the kids and today was one of those that makes it the best job in the world.

What a ride my first season with
@ASUSoftball
was. Can’t believe I just posted the season’s final gamer.
What a blessing it was for me to spend my time with this amazing group of future leaders.
While everyone judged, they continued to show up with dignity and compete.
Imagine a time when your team drops new jerseys that have been in the works for at least a year and the team shop only has one player available on drop day and no orders ship for 6 months. That’s the world
@Fanatics
has created and it’s a joke.

So good having
@VictorRojas
&

back in my life every night. I missed their joking with each other and sharing of favorite TV shows while brilliantly calling the game.

This weekend
@OUAZMBB
will open a new season on the road and
@OUAZWBB
will start at a high school. Next year they will be playing in this building. The growth of our campus in the two months I’ve been here is amazing.

Sports hit all the emotions and today was another example of that.
I can’t explain how much this team has impacted our city, school, staff, and myself.
The future of this team is bright and the seniors will impact the world in a positive way.

Excited for this group to reach this goal. This group has been through so much the past 3 years. Cool to see some reward for their hard work.

Jordan was given a technical while arguing a call in the closing seconds of a tie game. He'd be suspended for one game and fined $5K. The Jazz won, 126-123.

ESPN reports NBA "Teams have been directed to give the league office potential dates at smaller nearby game venues, including team practice facilities, that could spare the use of empty, cavernous arenas & possibly provide backdrops to unique television viewing lines."

Happy with how this turned out. Never thought I would be producing a 6-hour TV show. Extra thanks to
