Fans rush the court? No. @mylesjcolvin rushes the fans! @BoilerBall

Lucky enough to work with the best in the college baseball biz with @PurdueBaseball's @ElginBen. Having listened to him type away on baseball or swimming updates or Tweets or IG posts or whatever at 3 a.m. on road trips, I can say for certain no one works harder.

@OrionBuckingham Even if Iowa wins Sunday, the Illini will still be playing for the Big Ten title next weekend in just their 3rd appearance in WL in 11 years. Just saying…

We’ll put you on the comp list, not that you need the help.

The eldest & wisest of the Charters Bros. says I can take credit for sending the email that put him at 50k 🤯

…and I did it while sitting at the bar at the nicest BDubs in Ypsilanti. What a world.

Check your email foo…

I should check my email …

It Takes a Village. #TooKind #BoilerUp ⚾️ 🔥

Also have to say the stats don’t write themselves or find themselves, so it’s fair to say @PurdueBaseball SID Ben Turner Tweets has also been on a hitting streak.

Happy Holidays from your @PurdueSports Strategic Communications office!

Zoom in and assess our collective gift giving prowess (remember, it’s the thought that counts).

I learned of @Matt_Rector's passing in an unusual way, only adding to a feeling that it wasn't "real." But Rector was mos def one of the real ones at Purdue.

From the OG cubicles to our adjacent offices during the pandemic, his POV was always welcome & reassuring. #BeKind 🙏🐶❤️

[Purdue Football @BoilerFootball]

For today’s game, we will honor former SID Matt Rector, a long-time Purdue employee, who passed away unexpectedly on November 16.

Rector retired from Purdue in Sept. 2021, ending a 14-year tenure, during which he worked with our program on a daily basis. #BoilerUp for Rector!

You can put it on the board… YES!! 👏 #ChangeTheGame https://t.co/GfWWAKHB1b

Did this graphic accidentally use 2 photos of Lance Lynn & omit Lucas Giolito? Could be wrong but sure looks that way… #ChangeTheGame @WhiteSox

[MLB Stats @MLBStats]

Is the @WhiteSox rotation the best in the AL?

See them face the Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball on @ABC.

@immel_amanda Great to see you & (formally) meet Richard. Thanks for picking a good spot. One more reason to to love the Twin Cities. All the best to you Amanda & hopefully see down the road soon.

@theOGneard @TerpsBaseball Not classic, just bad (IMO).

No me gusta Country & Springsteen... 🤷‍♂️

[Ben Turner @ElginBen]

@ChrisMWebb Perfect sense in hindsight. But top much $$ on the line to not have the BBall tournament. Same reason BBall was only sport allowed to play non-conference games. Plus B1G changed the attendance policies just for BBall tourneys (in part) to at least get the big donors in the door.

[Ben Turner @ElginBen]

Make it 3 grand slams (all to RF) in as many innings to begin the game for @NUCatsBaseball. Mike Trautwein gets in on the fun this time.

Northwestern up 13-1 vs an MSU pitcher that worked 8 scoreless last Friday in same stadium against Maryland.

Life is stranger than fiction...

[Ben Turner @ElginBen]

Vince Bianchina & Stephen Hrustich have hit grand slams in the first 2 innings for @NUCatsBaseball. I've been a college baseball SID for 16 years. I've never seen that before.

Always a brave new world...

Paul has been an excellent teammate for many years, both at Mackey & on the Arni Cohen softball fields.

Lots of great projects & posters for @PurdueSports over the years, but tough to top this one... #BoilerUp

[Paul Sadler @sadlerimages]

I might as well tweet it now — In a few short weeks it will be my last day with Purdue Athletics. I've been SO VERY BLESSED for the opportunity I've had for the past 10 years...but it's time for a new adventure. I'll still be around, just in the stands for a change 😉 #BoilerUp

[Ben Turner @ElginBen]

@cdcole55 Interesting idea & obviously generating lots of replies. Was tougher for me than I thought. Respect for the rivals I guess & didn't grow up in Indiana so the IU hate is not as strong.

Nicely done @Forman. Let's Go Go Go White Sox. #BoilerUp #SouthSide

Tonight, @RobbieHummel and I are back together. The Purdue game notes say this about our partnership:
