Haven’t covered
@ClemsonFB
in over a decade. But I was there when Dabo Swinney took over, and saw the beginnings of this incredible run. If anyone thinks he’s not prepared for losing two coordinators, you are sadly mistaken.
Today is the one-year anniversary of my weight loss surgery. I’m down 176 pounds - from 463 to 287. Under 300 for the first time in about 25 years. Praising God today for His providence in opening the doors to make this possible last year. Onward and downward!
#ThankYouJesus
Prior to Angela’s surgery, doc said 95 percent chance the mass was full-blown cancer. Today, pathology report showed it came up one step short. NO CANCER! Praise God! We serve the Great Physician! She is going home this morning. Lots of work still ahead. But we are celebrating!
Finding out Postgame that Matt Rafferty played the final 6 weeks with a torn labrum in his right shoulder is astounding. Didn’t think it was possible to respect the kid any more. His jersey should be retired immediately.
@FurmanHoops
Six months ago today I had gastric bypass surgery. As of this morning, I’ve lost 140 pounds. The shirt I’m wearing today is just a year old. It “fit” last summer. Now it’s almost a dress. Thanking God again

Amidst all the craziness, I have this blessing to pass on. Today is the 4-month anniversary of my gastric bypass surgery. Counting the 4-week liquid diet leading up to surgery, I’ve lost 121 pounds so far. Thanking God for the steady progress.
#SlimmingDan
Heartbreaking loss. But man, did this
@PaladinFootball
team was fun to watch. It's an overused cliche, but it's true: they left it all on the field tonight in Missoula.
#GoDins
Mentioned a couple of weeks ago I was close to a milestone. Today it finally happened. The scales this morning read 299 1/2. That’s the first time in over 25 years the first number wasn’t a 3 or 4. Down 164 total. With God’s help there’s still work to be done.
#Blessed
My weight loss surgery was 2 years ago today. I’ve lost 180 pounds, and feel better than I have in 30 years. God opened so many impossible doors to make the surgery happen, I want to make sure He gets the praise. I pray I use this new lease on life for His will, not mine.
#Praise
Got to weigh in for the first time in three weeks. In 11 weeks (and one day) since gastric bypass surgery, I’ve lost exactly 100 & 1/2 pounds. That’s a big milestone! Much more to go, though. Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.

#StriveForExcellence
Weighed myself this morning and I am down 170 pounds just over nine months after surgery. I’m beginning to think I have a real shot of losing 200 pounds by the year mark.
15 home runs and 47 RBIs is a pretty good season in college baseball.
@NGUBaseball
’s John Michael Faile has done that in his last 22 GAMES. Never seen a run like this. Insane. Oh… and the defending D-II champs are heading back to the CWS.
Thanksgiving plans changed dramatically last night. Say hello to my grandson - August “Augie” Finn Rogers. And yes, that’s me giving him his first baseball glove. Have done it with all the boys born in our family since Angie and I got married.

- coaches, players…everyone involved. One of the best broadcast seasons I’ve ever had. Now 2023 awaits!
#GoDins
Just weighed myself for the first time since 9 days post-surgery. Since starting the liquid diet four weeks prior to surgery, I've lost 62 pounds. I've lost 31 of those in exactly three weeks since surgery. Officially under the 400 mark. All I can do is praise God!
#KeepGrinding
Three years ago today I had gastric bypass surgery. Only regrets were that I needed it in the first place, and that I waited so long to have it. It’s given me a new lease on life. Lost 180 pounds and have kept it off. Thank you, Lord, for your protection and provision.

Hey
@NCAACWS
: When, if ever, has one team had a grand slam, a player hit for the cycle, AND turn a triple play in the same game?
@FurmanBaseball
has done it tonight. Cycle and Slam by same player, Jabari Richards (8-10, 3HR, 2-2B, 3B, 10RBI In last 2 games).
#NationalPOW
Got to weigh today. Since entering the program and in 8 1/2 weeks since surgery, I’ve lost 92 pounds. Praising God for opening doors for the surgery.
#SlimmingDan
So I’m just dumb enough to post this: 51 years old, ### pounds, haven’t swung a bat at a baseball in 20 years. Took 10 swings at the Drive picnic - 5 from each side. Fair contact on 4/5 both sides. Couple of line drives... I’ll take it. Man, that contact felt good.
#LoveThisGame
The first 11 years I called D-1 college basketball, I never called a winning season.

turned the corner as a program. Got better and better. Suffered a crushing defeat 364 days ago. And then tonight happened. Never. Take. It. For. Granted.

What’s happened to 🏈 in the Palmetto State?
The Gamecocks+Tigers are a combined 6-8. More losses than ALL of 2022 (18-6).
One leader is stubbornly rejecting the modern era.
The other is learning on the job+taking out his anger on inanimate objects.

Sharing this with the permission of my daughter. She and my son-in-law are expecting their 2nd son - baby Grant - in early Jan. The little guy has a serious heart defect, among other issues. They face a difficult road ahead, so please keep them in your prayers. God is in control!

The lack of post-surgery pain has been remarkable. Getting by on just Tylenol. Thanking God for how I’m feeling so far. Tired, sore and bloated. But over all feeling good. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. The prayers and concern have been humbling.

I enjoy the quiet moments alone at the stadium early on game days. I have time to reflect on how fortunate I am that God has allowed me to do a job I love. I pray that He is glorified through it all, because He is the one who has made it possible. Thank you Jesus. For everything.

Angela just came out of surgery. Everything went well. Will be a week or so before we know full test results on mass, but surgery was a success. She’s in recovery. Phase 1 is done. Thanks for your prayers!
