Record crowd 3,503 on hand as the @NULax 'Cats claim the Big Ten regular season crown! Ran into a couple GOATs along the way. Another home season in the books and for the stat heads, I've now said 'Northwestern Goal' 1,804 times on the mic as PA for the Lake Show. Not done yet!

Itβs not by accident that @NULax are the Big Ten champs! The absolute best coaches, players and parents. Special thanks to @emscoy, @CoykendallScott for inviting us to join them in Ann Arbor today to watch the Cats Clinch! We had a blast and canβt wait for the big 10 tourney !

Today started Year 8 on the mic for @NULax, They unveiled championship banners and began their quest for a Natty repeat by taking down CUSE! Iβve had the pleasure to work with so many awesome people over the years, but one of the best is @_AndrewIsaac_

When I moved away from my hometown of Chicago in 2009, I said I was leaving a piece of my heart there. Now, another piece of me lives there too. π§‘
Wishing my amazing uncle @bluedemon1987 the gift of #love.
