I recently created a new twitter handle for work. If you’re interested in insights about sports fandom and free time and what I’ve been up to with @lukerontrends, follow me @WesChappellLOT

Been a while since I’ve tweeted from here - but love seeing @MenInBlazers share our research. The Messi hype in America is for real!

Thanks for sharing @rogbennett!

Probably not the first to suggest this, but can @VirginiaSports start giving away free bacon when our players MAKE both FTs instead of when the opponents miss both? #GoHoos

“Takes a big man” to support your teammate for making a fantastic play? One week of Raya starting and this media narrative is already exhausting.

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

Incredible moment: Ramsdale's reaction to Raya's breathtaking save, a reflection of the positive culture Arteta has fostered in this Arsenal squad. Takes a big man to react like this 🧤

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

Another UVA postseason, another gut punch. Pain.

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

And then she just scored an incredible goal…

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in a soccer match. Equal levels of insanity and badassery, if true.

@TheRealJaiKumar You know in the majority of Final Fours over the last decade, there’s been at least one team ranked 300 or lower in Kenpom’s adjusted tempo metric? And more well below the average? It looks like four of the national champs in that time played below the avg adjusted tempo too.

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

But in all seriousness, we know how this feels and it sucks, despite the relief that I/we have some company now. And congrats to FDU - that was incredible.

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

Me, and the entire UVA fan base right now looking at Purdue.

[gunnerblog @gunnerblog]

They’re not bottlers. They’re not weak. They’re a young team, early in their development, doing brilliant things.

Every fan wants to support a team like this.

Hard to remember when the pressure is on, but have to enjoy it. This is a season we’ll talk about for a long long time.

[whispers] I think it should have been a five second call before they even inbounded the ball on the controversial play at the end.

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

@7amkickoff @theboytimi Agreed. He’s gone so overboard it’s actually an anti-Arsenal bias. You’d think the he would especially understand the excitement from winning 2 nil away at Spurs. It’s just sad.

Mr. Lee “Old Man Shouting at Cloud” Dixon joining the celebration police against his former club. A win away against your biggest rival to go 8 points clear at the top and you’re critiquing your club’s celebrating…get over yourself… #COYG #Arsenal #TOTARS

@TheRealJaiKumar @1point76acres @themattmyth Dang bro not gonna credit me for my own vid?!

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

@LauraKirk12 Can we still get that retro kit drop tho?

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]

@BongoQuark @arseblog He thought our celebrating in the away fan corner after the final whistle was over the top.

[Wes Chappell @TeaDoubleYouSea]
