No matter the occasion, you always dress appropriately. Thanks for being there for this wonderful celebration!!
Broke some ground at Morehouse for the new student center! Wore me right out, I tell ya. That was some heavy dirt! Thanks to The Boss for helping me get the hard hat on just right. Needs a chin strap, but we made it work. @DrakeUniversity @drakepresident

Big weekend for @DUBulldogs. Let's get caught up starting with PFL leading @DrakeBulldogsFB.
Let's recap... - First win over San Diego since Oct. 6, 2012 - First victory in San Diego since Oct. 17, 2009 - Shane Dunning went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts & made a pair of 50-yard field goals (his career-long) ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ฐ shorturl.at/jlqP4 #BeTheChange #DSMHometownTeam
