If you look at his roster bio on the Toledo page (2024 - he's been removed from 2025), the picture is from a Washington State game where he's standing opposite of Carter Pabst - fun to think they will be teammates next season.

It's getting hard...

To contain my excitement for the future.

Can we step back for a moment and recognize the incredible job, Mr Pence, Jake and the CW team are doing on this.

Had to be tough to wait patiently as the bad sheet happened.

Super respect for the accuracy, detail and flair that the good news is being delivered.

There will be more of both, really appreciate the content you are wrapping around the football staffs work.
