The Milwaukee Brewers' lucky charm this postseason? #merrillmade alum/Brewers announcer Josh Maurer (@JoshMaurerPxP).
Maurer called play-by-play for the Brewers' eight-run fifth inning in Game 3 of the World Series — and that was just the latest big moment with him at the mic this magical postseason.
"The word that keeps coming to my mind is fortunate," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I'm just so fortunate."

Been watching PTI all 25 years. And talking to my students about how a show can last + flourish for a quarter of a century…which is like a 100 years in dog years or something. Same hosts, same producer, same EP, same format. Simply amazing. Mazel tov. @PovichCenter
Pardon the announcement...join us Thursday, October 22nd at 5PM ET for our 25th anniversary special!

Maryland football head coach Michael Locksley has been fired, according to reporting from ESPN’s Pete Thamel that was confirmed by a spokesperson from Maryland’s athletic department. Former assistant Aazaar Abdul-Rahim has been named as the interim head coach.
The team reportedly had a meeting in Jones-Hill House at 11:30 a.m. Several players left the facility in a seemingly positive mood. Center Michael Hershey said the players are not allowed to give any comments.

A team spokesperson has offically confirmed the move to the Diamondback and that Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will take over. Locksley is done in College Park.
The coach went 16-47 in conference play since taking over the program in 2019.

Maryland fans, how will you look back on Michael Locksley's tenure?
Three straight bowl game wins for the first time in program history, but a dismal last two-and-a-half seasons.
