From a Colts fan - dude couldn’t have handled that moment any better & I don’t think he couldn’t have explained his recount of the story any better. Comes off as such a good dude.
Not an April Fools Day Joke! But giving Twitter a little sneak peek at our newborn son Benjamin Allen Twitchell born yesterday around 1 pm 7lb 1oz. Leah was absolutely incredible laboring for nearly 40 hours while I was a mess most of the day until she delivered him!
Nicholas Robert Twitchell arrived this morning! Mom and baby are doing great! Nicholas weight the same as Benny @ birth 7lb 1oz. Tomorrow we watch the

Indiana State jersey. I can’t express how awesome & thoughtful this was of you. Appreciate your love & friendship always!
Some how we managed to host a regional and win the regional all in the same weekend. Tune out the negativity… Terre Haute & Indiana State are doing just fine.
I didn’t know when this season would come… But I always knew it would come! I’ve never stopped believing in this group they’ve been made of the right stuff. If you know me at all - you know how much this means to me!
Hung a 100 on emm in Hinkle you dumb ass NCAA & selection committee… Couldn’t get out of your own way protecting the P5’s. PS I hate you forever. Sycamores dominate. One more!
Man! You want words from me right now. 38 years in one day man. This the best birthday present the Lord could have dialed up for me. I don’t really care about the noise - you don’t put Sycamore before your namesake if this doesn’t mean the world to you. I’m in happy tears tonight
If you don’t mind say a quick prayer for our little guy Nicholas. He’s in the hospital with RSV. Think he will be okay but they were concerned about his oxygen levels. Appreciate it.
People acting like Terre Haute can’t host a regional F’ing baseball tournament with 3 out of town teams… The ignorance is numbing. We’ve hosted 7 NCAA National Championships in this town. I think we can handle the Regional. Thanks for checking in on us though.
Prayers out to Terre Haute Police Department tonight and every night for that matter. Officers risk it all to protect our families. God bless them all!

Saturday, Oct. 21 it's basically a tribute to

get up at 7 am start drinking & walking until you can't do either any longer
I can tell you this much... If Indiana State ends up out of the NCAA Tournament I will not watch a single NCAA Tournament game this year. Will not do it. Hell, maybe ever again. 28-6. Top 30 NET. 5 of 6 losses on the road, 2 vs. ranked teams.
I was 14 years old in this video the last time my Sycamores won the MVC regular season title! 24 years later we celebrate a Championship again. Happy for this team. But really happy for Indiana State alums, longtime die hard fans and Terre Haute!
People that say that’s a sad ending or say they are feeling sorry for us… Get a life. Nothing sad about it! That’s sports you got a winner and a loser - you can’t have it both ways. Those guys gave everything they had. Got beat. Life - we don’t need ya all to feel sorry for us
Nicholas had a rough couple days but we’re heading home here in a couple hours! That RSV is scary stuff for a 5 week old baby. Thankfully he’s doing a lot better last night into this morning.
Thank ya all for the love & prayers! Nicholas is doing better he’s finally sleeping, his oxygen levels are up (still on a little bit) but probably try and wean him off here later tonight. Adult sleeping arrangements less than ideal 🤦♂️ but we’re okay! Thanks again
Oh man… The NCAA or whatever that is decided this particular team wasn’t built for March! I hope Americas team breaks March - what a story it would be. The sequel to When March Went Mad but the only constant is Indiana State and Terre Haute Indiana
The

student!! Happy for this young man - what a fun night!
3 minutes into his opening press conference at Indiana State
@CoachSchertzISU
said, “I’m not here to build a great team. I’m here to build a program” words matter! The very second he got a better offer he decided to implode a great team and a program!
At the end of the day I mentally locked into the NIT but it was never the outcome we deserved… I’m most upset for all the little kidos that have been cheering hardcore for our Sycamores during this run!! I remember those games as a kid - they cut deep.
#Sycamores
love you all
Imagine this… Walking away from the Valley for SLU when of the best 17 players in the Valley last season, 10 have graduated or are in the portal, 6 play for Indiana State currently (one graduates) and one (Duke Dean) is coming back. You’ve got a bum agent
@CoachSchertzISU
My Twitter will probably be a different kind of annoying now… Watching our first

this week! Benny picked a good week to join the party.
Man. A somber day in Terre Haute - the city I love. Flags at half-staff as law enforcement across the country gather to lay one of their own to rest. Prayers up to Rob Pitts family and friends. 🙏🏼
Let this be just the beginning to what has been such a fun season to be a Sycamore! Still a lot of work left to do - but 24 years since a conference title & hell not a season like this since

glad to spend it surrounded by my family & friends.
Be a good chance to see your Sycamores

before you donate $10k per player to our collective

after we win this NIT! We appreciate the support either way!
Okay,
@PatMcAfeeShow
, here's an offer you've got to take.
Tuesday ISU tips off at 9pm against Cincinnati. I'm inviting you to come on over to Terredise. We can spend a few hours doing a downtown food and bar crawl. Let's do it!
Thanks Deb &
@SycamoreAD
you’re not far behind buddy… it’s an unforgivable blunder if your an athletic director at this level. Sorry I’m not sorry this what you get paid for. Fly safe. You let us down.
We lost a good one in Terre Haute today! Larry was my PE teacher in elementary school & was a friend long after. He was soft spoken but had a wonderful sense of humor. Blessed to have had him in my life at a young age - no doubt. Rest easy
Man… Regardless of what happens today - what a season! I’ve had so much fun. I’m happy for so many of my friends that have been on this journey with me for a long long time now. It’s just all love as we’ve known for awhile these are uncharted waters (in our lifetime). ONE MORE!
I told those fans at Michigan State earlier this year more than once... We here all day! They didn't like that and neither will you - but we here! The now 23rd ranked Indiana State Sycamores are F'ing here.
Just walked in the door in the Haute. Have little Nichols in my arms w/ a bottle. Have a meeting at 7:00 a.m. in the morning! Going to get this guy down, pour me a brown and watch that show again. I need to come down! Again…
I have first hand knowledge of Michigan State running that yapper… That moment when Tyson Walker told me to, “shut my bitch ass up!” He’s lucky I was in a good mood.
15 year ago today my best friend Travis Smith died in a tragic car accident at Ball State. He was loved by many. Was a great friend. Extremely talented golfer. He is missed!
At some point you run out of words to describe the success of Indiana State Track & Field programs. They continue to produce winners and conference championships year-after-year-after-year! The most successful program in Indiana State athletics history! Congrats
We lost a good man today… He was essentially like a second father to me. We spent hours talking in his living room over the years. Mourned the loss of Travis together. Celebrated milestones. It’s been a journey Jimmy. I love you and I’ll miss ya. Say hello to Trav for me.
Got to catch a game with my long time friend & former Sycamore

@Track_Gazette
Ridiculous. Anyone that's raced 800 meters especially indoors with the tighter turns knows that you have to protect your space. Lane changes & runners getting cut of intentionally or unintentionally is part of racing No reason for him to stay on the rail coming to the finish line

It’s been 16 years! Let that settle in your mind since my best friend Travis died in a car accident. This many years later

Nights like tonight are why I enjoy social media. To see people get hype about

is really all I've ever wanted for Terre Haute & Indiana State. It's always been a big part of my life since I was a kid.
@SycamoreStarr
That’s easy… Without NIL we’d still probably have a basketball coach and team. The portal is just the vehicle - the NIL is the fuel to make it work.
What a grind… Oh well we will just run the table in the Valley I guess.
#Sycamores
fought back pretty good early in that second half just didn’t have enough today.
Can you imagine a scenario where all of the relationships you have built at ISU/Terre Haute say you know what, I agree we need to support
@CoachSchertzISU
we raise enough money to make you the highest paid coach in the Valley & your actions say “fuck off” people don’t matter
Sycamores. Win.

Indiana State men’s basketball wins 80-60 over University of Illinois Chicago. Sycamores are 6-0 in MVC. It’s the Sycamores best start to a conference season since the 78-79 national runner-up team.
"If you get fired for cheating, you can get hired right back again If you get fired for losing, it's like you've got leprosy, so young coaches need to bear that in mind. Cheating & not graduating players will not get you in trouble, but that damn losing"
Sincerely - Royce Waltman
Details were limited earlier so waited to post. Thoughts & prayers to the Sycamores who were killed & injured last night in a tragic accident. Life is fragile I experienced something very similar some 15 years ago. My mind went to that day immediately. It sticks with you forever
If you live in Vigo County. Voted for the casino. Spend more than $200 a year at the casino and then vote against then vote against the school referendum then you’re a special kind of dumb… @ me if you’re this special.
I mean I'm pretty bias but Indiana State should be about one win away from being a locked 11 seed. Two wins away from being a 9/10 seed and three wins away from being 7/8/9 seed. The NIT is more like the NOT - NOT an option!
New: A cult hero in goggles, an accidental basketball coach, a supporting cast of spare parts ... how Indiana State revived its program and became one of the most fun teams to watch in the sport. At 26-5, are the Sycamores a sure thing for the Big Dance?
Diesel weekend in the Haute! Don’t hate - brings a lot of money to Terre Haute every year. If you don’t like it just avoid the area! Air show last weekend and diesels this weekend. The local economy can use all the help it can get!

Getting married in 11 days is crazy man. Life's been too good to me. Not about just me any more, about us now! Thank God. Our families. Our friends. Our Veterans. Our teachers (God bless teachers). Our coaches. Thanks to all of u, wouldn't have anything without you!
I had a lady come up to me randomly today and said “hey are you that Tiwchhheeeelll guy” pauses “the one that yells at the ISU games” 😂😂 you could be known for worse I guees. Love you mom I did my best in life.
