May I never forget on my best day that I still need God as desperately as I did on my worst day

@wrestlingnomad @hoagieboyhidlay Yes, it was sweet! I was the No. 1 seed in 2008, and my random draw ended up being @ARobles125 . Great times.

@hoagieboyhidlay They did it this way through 2013 wrestlingstats.com/ncaa/pdf/brack…

We should seed the top 12 guys and then do random draw for the rest of the bracket.

@TigercoachJoeyD It is egregious, we should have got 250 😂

After the at-large selections the Big Ten conference has 95 wrestlers of the 330 field. Seems a little egregious.

Honoring 715 on 7.15 ❤️💙

@TonyDungy Great stuff Coach!

Our Coaches Fellowship group got to go to the Olympic Training Center to speak to the Wrestling Team. It was an awesome time for us to encourage them as they’re training and preparing to compete against the best in the world. Met a ton of great young men and women including David Carr who is a two time NCAA champion. He is following in the footsteps of his dad who was also a national champion. Just a very inspiring day for me.

At 145 pounds, @DanFongaro is a NCAA qualifier and Southern Scuffle Champion from @IndianaWR. He was a 4-year starter at Indiana and @GoColumbiaLions.

@UNCBearsWrestle You guys got a great leader of men!

@hardell_m Thank you!!

@driven2dominate Job well done this year my man. Those fellas were scrapping last weekend

DJ was admitted to the hospital and released Thursday night—then Friday morning stepped on the mat and became an All-American. That’s GRIT. Wrestling teaches athletes to embrace adversity. They chose a sport defined by struggle. They are warriors
