One of the best parts of the work
@D3FBHuddle & I do for
#d3fb is getting to meet new teams -- especially the players -- who we talk about all the time on our show. During our Pregame Show Thursday,
@UWLEagleFB players recognized me eventually and obviously had read "Quick Hits" on
@d3football (knowing that I picked against UWL in the game). As you could expect, this didn't set well with the UWL players, so they razzed me all pregame, during-game, and postgame about the pick & the score. However, it was all in great fun, and JB & I know how to laugh it off with the players.
Below, you'll see a part of our Pregame Show where the UWL players took the field -- and let me have it as they were behind us -- and a part of our Postgame Show where during our @UWLCoachJanus interview,
@WilcherNate gave me one last blast from off camera. We brought him on our set and had a great impromptu moment with him. Again, all in great fun.
UWL has a great team -- my pick deserved to be panned by them early & often. But more importantly, the team was respectful & appreciative of the work we do to promote them. That made all of our work yesterday a pure pleasure. We look forward to making the trek to Wisconsin someday -- or perhaps see them in Texas in January -- to continue to build this friendship.
Thanks to Coach Janus & everyone associated with the team for a great time in Troy, along with the good folks at
@RPIAthletics &
@RPIFootball who made sure our live shows could be a reality Thursday night.
