Happy to see these numbers. Now add 20 minutes to the meet and air every routine. Not 70% of them. You wouldn’t show 6 innings of the College World Series. Or skip a set of volleyball. Let’s fix this.
The '26 @NCAA_Gymnastics Championship on ABC scored 1.1M viewers 🏆 🤸Most-viewed gymnastics meet ever on ESPN nets 🤸Peak: 1.7M, also highest ever 🤸Up 10% YoY #NCAAWGym #NCAAGym

Ten 10.0 vaults training for the 2026 @LSUGym Tigers. Just an incredible lineup of talent, including the defending National Champion. #35days

Feels like the lid is closing on the shrimp pot, @SteveWAFB. Sunset over Fordoche, La. with a warned storm looming.

An unbelievable light show tonight just after sunset in St. Francisville, La. @SteveWAFB this is looking due north toward the severe storms at the state line. Some great slo-mo at 24 seconds, 1:15 and near the end. Usage granted with attribution #lawx @NWSNewOrleans

We were honored to retire Jaylon Ferguson’s #44 at last week’s Lift-A-Thon! He was All-State at WFHS before going on to set the NCAA career sack record at LA Tech! He was represented at the event by his family as he is preparing for his 3rd season in the NFL! #WEAreWestFel⚜️

I saw this tweet Monday evening and told my family @SteveWAFB is signaling an issue for Tuesday. As a result, I finished my work in BR by noon then headed to the home office to hunker down. Thank goodness and thanks Steve! – at Louisiana, USA
I think models are underestimating impacts of this disturbance moving across SE Texas tonight...meaning showers and t-storms are likely in our local area on Monday IMO.

Much respect for these teams and how they’ve persevered this season. Expecting a terrific @NCAA_Gymnastics tournament. @LSUgym wins it with health, depth, playoff experience, & coaches pulling the right levers at the right time. Good luck to all and #GeauxTigers #LSU

Following Julie’s lead on the socials and wishing peace, strength & healing for Jay Clark’s dad, Woody. I know Jay coached with a heavy heart and a certain amount of distraction yesterday. Both understandable. Please join me in sending best wishes, thoughts and prayers to all.

Wondering if Audubon’s birds ever saw this much sleet in #StFrancisville? #lawx @SteveWAFB – at Louisiana, USA

The most sleet I’ve ever seen in my life. Sounds silly but boy is it true. Working on 2 inches of pellets in #StFrancisville @lawx – at Louisiana, USA

An honor to be on @wbrpanthers campus this morning. Coach Lemoine, staff, teachers and students have something special going. And their new school is truly amazing. Congrats Maggie! #TGIT
BIG thanks to Mike Smith & ExxonMobil Pipeline for the Good Neighbors $1, 000 grant. Mr. Smith also presented Maggie as the PAW of the Week🐾 👏👏👏
