    Two guys w/ the same barber. These 10 minutes were highlight of my weekend. Seeing this warrior back on campus in his role as inspirational leader was awesome. None of us know how many days we have left, but if we live each day like ⁦@theTylerTrent⁩, our lives will be full.

    Please pray for the father of @PurdueVB freshman, Maddie Schermerhorn. Tom is at Parkview Hospital in Ft. Wayne on ventilator & needs all of us to lift him up. Pray for Tom, the medical professionals, and his family. Tom is a one of greatest guys in all of athletic. He needs us.

    Remarkable is best description of ⁦@theTylerTrent⁩. He taught me, our team, our university, our world, so much about belief, courage, selflessness, & living each day w/ true purpose. Tyler changed the attitudes of more people than any person I have ever known. Love you T2.

    Boarding plane for home after sad loss to remarkable season. I’ll never use this final match to define this @PurdueVB team. I’ll think of comebacks, road-wins, upsets, players & team development. I’ll recall how these players raised the bar forever. I’ll remember the love shared.

    As of now, no play-by-play announcers will report the NCAA tournament action on ESPN3 next week. After cutting the field by 25%, women’s volleyball is not worthy of announcers? This is BUSH LEAGUE. Plenty is capable commentators happy to do the work for free. Let’s get organized.

    Please lift in prayer the Thompson family from Monticello. Our wonderful @PurdueVB manager Ayanna Thompson lost her mother & sister in a house fire early this am. Her mother was a former VB coach & sister a stand-out swimmer at Twin Lakes HS. Ayanna & her father need our support.

    His career is over, but I’ll remember @GillisMason forever. He represents everything that is Purdue Basketball. He brought all he had every day. He never stopped learning, working, or bettering his skills. His selflessness is a classic example to be taught by all coaches. Salute!

    It’s been an emotional ride with Dr. Don’s illness & passing last night. John & I are so thankful for the out-pouring of kindness & support for our father. We were blessed to call him Dad. We are in the gym w/ ⁦@PurdueVB⁩ this am. There is no place we’d rather be right now.

    Serious consideration by top brass in Purdue Athletics equipment & uniforms that this bold and beautiful script may appear on the front of a @purduevb jersey sometime soon. It’s out of my hands, but I’d love to know what @PurdueSports fans think just in case I have any influence.

    Must read tweet. Emma Ellis didn’t start tonight. A senior who has contributed to so much success in past 4 years was on sideline for 3 sets, she jumped off the bench to start set 4 and sparked ⁦@PurdueVB⁩ to a HUGE NCAA tourney win over Tennessee in 5. Talk about a leader.

    I’ll walk into Indy Convention Center today w/ thousands of VB recruits wearing my Purdue gear w/ pride. In the past 20 years, I’ve watched ⁦@BoilerBall⁩ become the most exciting event on campus. Matt Painter, staff, point guard, & the rest, are my guys. Today & forever.

    Ten minutes after the final horn, 14 thousand amazing fans remain to honor our six @BoilerBall seniors. People often ask me what is special about Purdue? This. The loyalty, the gratefulness, the love for the school, the student-athletes, and each program. This - this is Purdue.
