Mixed feelings about this. Selfishly, you hate to see him leave because he’s a great coach. But there’s excitement because he deserves the opportunity. I really enjoyed watching him lead the RBs at ISU. This guy is on the rise. Best wishes @CoachSamOjuri22!

@IWUhoopscom @IWUBasketball @Wheaton_Thunder @CCIW_Athletics @Pantagraph Simich is one of the best stories in Titan lore. Relatively unknown who made himself into an All-American. Cerebral blue collar guy who was the piece Dennie needed to elevate his program to elite national status. Chris was so humble, always praising teammates—a key Titan trait!

Last week, in California with ISU football. Today, the Indy Classic in Indianapolis, cheering the wife’s Alma mater, #11 Purdue against #17 Texas A&M. Good matchup that could play heavily in NCAA tourney seeds for both teams. #boilerup

@ISU_mcwilli @eatgreedy_tae I think @eatgreedy_tae needs to be an honorary assistant coach for the playoffs. Master motivator!

Winning on the road is always fun! #17 @RedbirdFB rolls to a convincing 31-9 win at Northern Iowa in the UNI-Dome. @WrightWenkers rushed for 109 yards & 2 TDs for the Redbirds, who improve to 7-3 overall & 4-2 in the MVFC. At Indiana State next week!
