I’VE NEVER LIKED A TWEET MORE THAN THIS.

THE BEARS ARE ASUN CHAMPS!!

@Steven_Overturf Nailed it. UCA and Conway are pretty tradition-rich without having to steal from other schools. And I’m no geography whiz, but I’m not sure the topography around here is anything special. But that purple does look good.

NOPE 1. “Roll bears” - we are not bama. Stop 2. Thick stripe looks ridiculous 3. Topographic pattern - what’s the meaning? Any actual story? 4. Scripts on helmets are always risky. 5. Why have a bear and a Nike logo on a non Nike helmet on the front bumper? Purple shell: cool

Wrapped up the Arkansas state football finals with a good one. Salem and Bismarck went back and forth in the first championship appearance for either school. Salem hung on in the end 42-34. More at kaicaddy.com/aaa

Arkadelphia picked off four passes, recovered two fumbles, recorded five sacks and 11 tackles for loss and scored three second-half touchdowns to knock off Elkins in a rainy Class 4A State Championship game. More at kaicaddy.com/aaa

Bryant rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns and won its sixth state championship in seven years Saturday. The first for head coach Quad Sanders. More at kaicaddy.com/aaa

Greenwood's Kane Archer is pretty good. The QB accounted for seven touchdowns, threw for 321 yards and ran for 131 to lead the Bulldogs to their second straight @ArkActAssn 6A title. More photos at kaicaddy.com/aaa

Parkview dominated last night's @ArkActAssn Class 5A State Championship game to claim its third-straight title. More photos at: kaicaddy.com/aaa

Pretty cool day at the @ArkActAssn Class 2A title game. Conway Christian gets the win. One of my old high school assistant coaches is the head coach, a college classmate's son is the senior QB and another college classmate was the head official. More at kaicaddy.com/aaa

Strong lived up to its name last night, dominating the @ArkActAssn 8-Man State Championship game. More photos: kaicaddy.com/aaa

Happy We Need To Beat Lamar Day to all who celebrate

Christopher Blevins and Jennifer Jackson power to victories in today’s UCI Elite Men’s and Women’s XCC races at the US Pro Cup at Centennial Park in Fayetteville. @nwademgaz

Stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. 📸: @kaicaddy + @DNA_K4

Absolutely heartbreaking to hear this. A highlight of covering the US Pro Cup every year is seeing the future of the sport on a big stage. Devastating that this bright young star’s life was cut short. Please pay attention when you drive.

And there’s lots of opportunity for dirt coming up! Got an event coming up? Lemme know!

And I'm talking all creatives. Photo, video, design...social media. All of them. They are needed for almost everything. Treat them that way.

While we are here, pay creatives their value. Stop lowballing creatives and demanding more from them than their salary warrants. Going to lean on them that heavily? Then compensate fairly.

Again... INVEST IN PHOTOGRAPHERS I can go on for hours about why photographers and photography archives are extremely important for programs, teams and athletic departments. Since going on my own I've run into massive hurdles in accessing historical imagery from major teams.

Big cheers for @sofithevilla on her win at the US CUP MTB race in Fayetteville 🙌 Specialized Off-Road has been top notch this season! Catch the team at the Whiskey Off-Road this weekend repping custom engraved Chunky #ESIgrips #SiliconeGrips! 📸 @kaicaddy @iamspecialized

Creatives should be more appreciated across all industries. That’s a fact. Designers, photographers, videographers, copywriters. Y’all bring the ideas to life. Y’all are amazing.
