@AidanSieperda got to throw an inning in the Northwestern Baseball Alumni game today. He had two strike outs, no hits, and no runs. He also hit once and hit a homerun. So proud of this boy!!

Primarily plays as a nickel, but capable of playing any safety spot in the secondary. Lateral range, aggressive/physical finisher, route concept awareness.
I was at a steakhouse in Dallas, eating alone at the bar. Next to me was a young guy in a military uniform. He was eating a baked potato and a side salad.
Nothing else. He kept eyeing the steaks coming out of the kitchen, then looking at his wallet. I flagged the bartender.
"Put his tab on mine," I whispered.
"And send him the ribeye.
Tell him it's a mistake from the kitchen."
The bartender grinned. "You got it."
Ten minutes later, the huge steak landed in front of the kid. "I didn't order this," he said, panicked. "I can't pay for this."
"Kitchen messed up," the bartender lied perfectly. "Manager said to eat it or we have to trash it." The kid ate like he hadn't seen food in a week.
When he finished, he asked for the check.
"Covered," the bartender pointed at me.
The kid turned to me. "Sir, I..."
"Thank you for your service," I said.
"Get home safe." He stood up, shook my hand, and walked out taller than he walked in.
If you have more than you need, build a long table, not a higher fence. 🫡🇺🇸

Ben McCollum postgame on Bennett Stirtz after the Maryland game:
"I'm disappointed for him. He was desperately trying to carry the load for us. We just need other guys to show up."
