Best of Conner Firstman

I know I do this every year but I just want to keep his memory alive. Great at his job but even better as a person. Greatly missed!

That guy epitomized living your life. He also made everyone else enjoy it.

Whoa!!! I was just thinking about Connor on my way to work Monday morning. It'd be cool if he was honored at an MSU home game.

Conner was an amazing talent and ahead of his time, he was producing great social media content before that became something that all programs really made the effort to do. I also enjoy watching clips that really aren't all that long ago showing the stadium before the end zone expansion, it's a good reminder of how far we've come since 2010 even if progress seems to be slow sometimes.

That Gangnam Style thing may have been the greatest non-football moment in Bobcat Stadium history.
Conner nailed it.

And to think he did it while terminally ill with cancer. Pretty remarkable.


Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

I know people in Portland who knew him quite well and knew I went to MSU as well. Heard great things about him from those who knew him from home and especially after he passed. I used to post his videos on Facebook.

Thank you Gary. I think of Conner often and how much of a positive impact he had on many people’s lives. He was a genuinely wonderful human being.
