Re: Mo Creek
Not to worry people here any further, but reports about third country nationals, particularly of colour, trying to get out of Ukraine are not encouraging. Apparently niether the Ukranians want to allow them to go nor do the Poles want to let them in (and who knows about Hungary and Maldova). From BBC

Re: Mo Creek
I believe Mo is either out or on his way out based on his Twitter post this morning. Let's hope that's the case.

Re: Mo Creek
Approximately 3 plus hours ago, Mo posted a tweet that said, "Glory To God" and reposted someone else's tweet that said he was in a car on his way to Ukraine's border to try to leave.
Would caution that this is a moving situation, there have been false starts before, and heading to the border doesn't guarantee safety en route. But this is a very good day to attempt this, assuming Mo has some knowledge of who is driving him.
Indiana fans have been all over this in support of Mo.
Mo is strong, but is or was not in a very good area. There have been some attacks by missile/artillery that struck civilian shops and literally a battle for the city, which the Ukranians seemed to have repulsed. So this would be really welcome news if correct.
His retweet seems a positive indication, though radio silence publicly might be better in this case. Let's all hope for Mo's successful evacuation and hearing that he is out.

Re: Mo Creek
Mo is home as of 2 hours ago. Arrived at Dulles I believe. A lot of prayers have been answered!

Re: Mo Creek
Can't describe how happy I was to see this. The local news picked up the story and footage.
And on a far more minor note, allow me to extend my middle finger to WJLA/ABC7 who actually said "the University of Maryland's Mo Creek." For real.
