@ColNicholson Nicley done Colonel. Your sources run deep.

April Fools! The clowns at Bonaventure ain’t getting off that easy. Anyway, here’s a pic of Woj, MacDonald, and Prato at the Fredonia/Oswego game on January 24th. Wonder what they were talking about

Remember, Nicholson has no sources

@EdwardGee6fr9 @ColNicholson I don't think he's complaining. It's more of a victory lap.

@ColNicholson You’re feeding into this narrative so don’t complain when Bonnie’s are getting bad press…

Rico Bosco rightfully going in on Woj, here. I’m sure this type of press is exactly what Bonaventure is looking for - Woj is a PR savant!

@ColNicholson My money is on Prato. He and Woj were almost holding hands for several of the games (while Woj was giving Schmidt the silent treatment).

…he did not want to legitimize the process 4. There will almost certainly be no public celebration for Mark 5. This “national coaching search” is a joke - Mike MacDonald is a shoe in

Bob Beretta is a liar - let’s break this BS letter down: 1. Mark Schmidt did not retire - he was fired. 2. The “leaks” that got out did not lead to misinformation, rather they uncovered a truth Woj and Beretta were trying to hide 3. Schmidt did not want a big ceremony because…

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@DontanaHerb @awfulannouncing It is not speculation that Schmidt is being paid the balance of his contract. He was told in a meeting with Woj and Beretta and told he was being relieved of his duties at the end of the season. Do you really think Bonas has an extra 2M+ to pay him because they like him?

@ericfirkel7 @awfulannouncing Not sure why you’re comparing it to NFL coaches. Still, that is speculation, not fact. It could be true, but you’re reporting something is true based on your own speculation. You’re not positive that it’s true and it’s a bad look for the program

Local columnist accuses Adrian Wojnarowski of planting misleading narrative about St. Bonaventure coach’s firing dlvr.it/TRRJWn

@DontanaHerb @awfulannouncing Mike Tomlin resigned. Not getting paid. Sean McDermott got fired. He's getting paid. Mark Schmidt got fired. He's getting paid. He's getting paid +/-2M from SBU to start a garage band with you and your dog

@DontanaHerb @awfulannouncing Proof Mark was fired: 1. He's getting paid next year. 2. AD Beretta was asked to leave the court on senior night by the coaching staff. 3. Woj hid in his office during the final reg. season game and reports are he's hiding again today.

@DontanaHerb @awfulannouncing Must be a talented dog.

@ericfirkel7 @awfulannouncing And this is always where the conversation ends. Schmidt is actually leaving because he wants to achieve his dream of starting a garage band with me and my dog. I have sources close to Schmidt.

@SBUnfurled Word is Woj was hiding again. If he was, it's a bad look. What happened, happened, but SBU needs to come clean and own what they did. Maybe it's the right move. Maybe we needed to move on, but they just need tell us the truth.

@ericfirkel7 No idea, was he? I couldn't go today. As I've said, Woj and Beretta should be answering questions very soon after the season ends.

Mark Schmidt walks off the court for the final time as Bona coach. Props to the Bonnies for quickly turning the page on that regular season and giving us a gutsy little March run. The only ever #Unfurl after a loss. To Mark, thanks for saving the Bonnies when we needed it most.

"Coach Schmidt is one of the best coaches in the country and it's been an honor to be able to compete against his teams for the last nine years. What he's been able to do at St. Bonaventure speaks for itself. He's just a good dude to be around, always has a smile on his face, always happy. He lightens the mood in any room that he comes in. We'll miss him." - Anthony Grant (Photo @udwigman)

Salute to Mark Schmidt 🐐

@SBUnfurled @ColNicholson are these guys legit or are they Woj stooges, clowning around trying to feign a sentimental send off?

Mark Schmidt is NOT going out without another funny GIF moment.

The 🐐 no question. It's clear @StBonaventure will miss Mark Schmidt in his retirement.

@ColNicholson Tyler Ralph in his feels. Go Bonnies

Mark Schmidt on the importance of St. Bonaventure basketball: “I always say, on a smaller level, we’re like Alabama football. Men’s Basketball at Bonaventure is everything and I take great honor in representing that.” Bonnies Basketball. The Alabama of Siberia. @mid_madness

Had a couple cocktails with Bona faithful last night and didn’t realize how funny this was at the time
