DeKALB – When he took the head coach position at NIU in January, Thomas Hammock had an idea on how to draw good players to NIU and fans to Huskies Stadium.

“That’s why I’m on Twitter,” Hammock said. “It’s not all recruiting related. These kids work their butt off 12 months out of the year, and we need the support. It gives them a great home-field advantage.”

Beyond hyping up the fanbase, Hammock can also be a fun follow for those looking for a laugh or some motivation to get them through the day. Here are some of the best tweets from @NIUCoachHammock:
