Thanks for a fun season,
@NCCWBB

@NCCMBB
, you guys too, but hopefully after you get a few more games.
Until November… drive home safely.

I feel awful for
@AirChang11
@ConnorRaridon
@AJones_4_
and Cap. These four have put their hearts and souls into this program, had a chance to become immortal, and now it’s gone.
Not saying it’s the wrong decision, but it still hurts.
I feel like we just lost. Chance to go to the Elite 8 taken from us. This team has worked so fucking hard for so long to get this opportunity and its gone
Considering
@NCC_Athletics
put this on their Facebook page just now… I’m assuming the rumblings we’ve heard and the reports on the ESPN schedule are official.

The numbers:
@football_ncc
: 10-0, .521, 3-0 vRRO (3,5,8 R5)
@MountUnionFB
: 10-0, .535, 2-0 vRRO (4,5 R4)
Apparently 14 points of SOS outweighs what I’d argue is a better RRO number.
Oh, and NCC won at Mount in ‘19.
Make it make sense.
#d3fb
Sources: Committee made decision to give Mount Union home game in national semifinals over North Central "based on the numbers." When pointed out that committee ignored rule it wrote after 2010 season explicitly for this situation, there was acknowledgement, no explanation.

@UWLEagleFB
will host North Central College (Ill.) in the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals.

Important thread is important.
Don’t have ties to either Yeshiva or Illinois Wesleyan (other than what comes with a conference rivalry), but everything that’s come from this home-and-home has been wholesome and awesome to see.

It needs to be said… 🧵
In a world seething with hatred and ignorance from every angle, aimed in every direction, I found a community full of love, acceptance, inclusion and friendship.

@NCC_Athletics
had 22 national championships when I started as an undergrad.
In the almost 12 years since, that number has come pretty close to doubling. That’s insane.
I know what I’m listening to this morning.
I’m also pretty sure
@NapervilleIL
won’t have to worry about a salt shortage this winter because there’s been a bunch of it the past 36 hours.

This is not your typical perceived slight. This is a lack of respect. Pat and Greg talk about that and more in the newest Around the Nation podcast:

Not on the Gram, so I need to tweet this.
I think for
@NCCMBB
’s home opener this coming season I need to change my usual lineup introduction order and do
@AirChang11
last.
This scenario is 7 months out and I can’t wait.
It’s finally game day! If you’re in the Naperville area, come on out, wear black, and be loud for

!
Also, I get to announce an NCAA Tournament and I’ve been hyped for the past week or so.
I started at
@northcentralcol
in 2007, and fairly quickly got my first taste of

with a playoff team, but one that got bounced in the 2nd round by UW-Whitewater. I ran the board for at least a couple games that first season at WONC. (1/x)

Retweeting this so it shows up on my regular timeline.
Also, random stat of the day:

is undefeated at Tarble Arena in games involving

This is the best QB Season 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑⁉️🤯
@lukelehnen
has a passing efficiency score of 287 at the end of the regular season, the best in

history
Will he and

repeat as champs?

Easily the Miracle on Brainard Street (

coming back down 6 with 25 seconds left against Carthage almost 2 years ago).
Though
@mpollack12
making the Greatest Backdoor Cut of All Time three weeks later is a close second.

The morning of 8/5 my wife wakes up to find her

account hacked into. From what I’ve read, it sounds like a common story: some jackass finds a back way in, adds their email address and probably phone number, removes my wife’s, changes the password, boom, lockout. (2/x)

A year ago this morning,
@kkmitzel
and I had our lives change forever when Matthew came into our lives. He has brought us so much joy and love. Happy birthday little dude!
While I wish the results were better, I'm honored that I got to come back and announce for this group. The record doesn't show how hard and how well this team played this year.
Haydn, Page, Bekah- thank you. Gonna miss you three.
I can’t thank this team enough for fighting to get better every day. There was nothing easy about this year and they showed up willing to work. To our seniors Haydn, Page, and Bekah- it has been a joy coaching you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for this program.
For point of reference, Wheaton gave up 248 rushing yards to Augie last week.
North Central has 328 and we’re not even midway through the 3rd quarter yet.

If this game was at B-W, everyone would have proper space in the press box. Instead, we are currently set to broadcast from the model dorm in an administration building on the other side of the field.
This is straight up disrespectful, but the show must go on.
