I consider myself one of the few lucky folks that enjoy the work I do. Running the boards at Mackey has allowed me to be part of 6 Big Ten Championships over the years. (5 MBB 1 WBB) and I love it. See you all next season.

is so much better then science class dad. They talk about cool stuff. Explain really well. And, she is pretty funny.
Me: I will pass this on to
@alieward
it will make her smile and be happy.
That made his head explode a bit.
I am often asked how long I have been doing what I am doing with games. Long enough to be operating a board that looked like this. Happy to still be part of the Mackey environment.

Every run comes to an end & I think going from 02/03 to 19/20 with 97/98 & 98/99 as a student is a pretty decent run. I will miss running graphics from the top of Mackey. Tnx to

@PurdueWBB

Our audio guys are saying we hit a new record in Mackey today. 123.2 dB Proving once again the crowds at Mackey are a force to be reckoned with.

When we originally got and installed this PTZ camera I thought it would only be cool at tip-off. I was proven wrong. Great work by the folks in the control room. Photo by my guy

Thank for sharing man.
Looking at my socials and seen that I picked up a new follower from the autograph ball I posted earlier. One of my favorite pieces of Purdue basketball memorabilia that was given to me has Mr. Buckets on it. Thanks for the follow

Nine years ago ENAD and the old power plant still stood where WALC is now. Maybe I should dive into the archives and post the photos from inside the old power plant.

Sitting in this bar yesterday and the 80 year old Aruba native starts chatting me up. We swap stories. I mention I work at Purdue. Him and the other local next to him both say oh...they play basketball there don't they.
Yes. Yes we do. Let's have another round.

I never thought as a Technical Grapgics student in 97 I would still be doing this here.

So watching that game in the airport, then on the plane was an experience I would rather not do again. Sorry to the folks flying into Indy with us as I yelled rather loudly and probably woke you when Fletcher hit the last three and the ref missing some calls.

Why is it so hard for other graphic designers to follow specs. 600x1200 does not equal 746x1692.
At least they sent a PSD so I could fix it myself. Sigh....

And to think I have witnessed 3 of the 4 of these. 93-94 as a student on campus, 09-10 and 22-23 from my spot at the top of Mackey running the boards.

Trey Kaufman-Renn finishes with 24 points (8-10 FGs, 8-10 FTs).
If you find yourself launching a boat or helping launch a boat this holiday weekend, the key is to make sure the boat or wave runner is still not connected to the trailer in any way.
It is great to see a past student and younger coworker succeeding in the sports industry. This is one of the reasons I enjoy working at the college level. Yes....go ahead with your everyone is younger than you Les jokes.
I had just enough time this week to kick start my quarantine starter and get it up to the level to produce this.

will be happy tomorrow. Well, till it is gone. Sorry Brewer

is sharing food pics tonight. I thought I would throw my hat in the ring. Pulled chicken stacked on bacon, cajun asparagus, and a portobello cap. Then topped with smoked provolone.
From my latest student to get her first gig." You're the best boss I've had thus far and I've learned so much from working with you! I will definitely be back to visit"
When this happens, it is all worth it.
