This atmosphere is absurd. The kids who are “D-I or bust” are missing out. Go somewhere you can compete for national titles and play in environments like this: @NCAADII @MinnStAthletics @bearcatsports

- I’m emotional today. MBB national title game, baseball dh, softball dh, vb 2 matches, outdoor track competing, m/w tennis at home...golf, soccer and football all working, too. Student-athletes getting to do what they love on this God-given Saturday. Been a long year. #GoCats
- Thank you all for the outpouring of support. Can't explain how humbling today has been. Calls, texts, posts, messages, tweets, high5s, and handshakes are too many to count. I appreciate every single one of them and apologize I can't respond to them all. God Bless and GO BEARCATS!
- Mac is a intense mad-scientist, obsessive-preparer, learner - always striving to master his craft, mentor, friend, confidant, coach, father, husband, and fisherman. So happy for @CoachMcCollum and his guys earning National Championship #3 also being Win #300!
- I’ve made phone calls...NCAA won’t do it. Most DI’s won’t schedule us in exhibitions, not to mention a one-and-done situation! Seriously, thanks for the coverage, Ken. Big fan of your work!I'd almost consider D2 NW Missouri for an at-large in the D1 tournament. masseyratings.com/path.php?s=cb2…
- What a fall to remember for Bearcat Nation! Can’t thank our seniors, athletes, coaches, their families, and our support staff enough! The standard is set and we are excited about many more of these!!! #ProudAD @bearcatsports
- I’m sitting sideline and this game is ridiculous. Anyone who talks down about D2 has NO idea what they are talking about. Intensity and emotion is palpable. #theseguysaregood #highlevel #d2mbb
- I’m not crying…you’re crying…Ben McCollum is one of the best coaches in the country, but he also tries to be the best dad and husband he can be. There are long hours and days in coaching, but after Saturday's win, the McCollum family celebrated a fourth national title together.
00:00 - Our Bearcats continue to find ways to raise the bar! Kudos to our coaches, our athletes’ families, but especially our student-athletes!#ironsharpensiron #risingtideliftsallboats #PowerofthePaw #GoCats
- Bearcats offensive possession that starts at the 6:35 mark of the first half was the single-best basketball possession I’ve ever seen. #clinic #extrapassx8 Coach Mac is a mad-scientist...and the guys are basketball robots.
- Tough day. 😪 Keep your heads up, student-athletes. You are loved and supported by so many.MIAA suspends competition; NCAA cancels championships bit.ly/2IJ5QTa
- Ellie (3yo) at 10:25pm laying in her bed after and an hour and a half of trying to get her to go to sleep-10 full minutes of silence and all of a sudden she rolls over, looks at me and in full voice asks, “Dad, do wolves bite your legs off?” Kids, man.
- I know the Bearcat men are playing in an NCAA Regional Semifinal game tonight in Bearcat Arena, but the number of people I see wearing green today is bonkers... #EveryoneisaBearcat #WasStPattyaBearcat? #LETSGO #culturewins
