This is the problem with ESPN. It edifies this behavior. Instead of winning with class, millions of people view this and think this is how you behave after winning the championship. It’s not. Humble and hungry. It was a joy watching Iowa and Caitlin Clark play this year.
Big time congrats to my father,
@OsbornMitch
, as he is being inducted into the Iowa Athletic Director’s Association HOF. He has had a tremendous impact on so many people during his life and sacrificed a lot to help others.
Just a young couple starting our marriage. Life happened and I endured 4 rounds of chemo in 2010. Currently my health is great and I’m ready to support the new Cancer Initiative at the hospital here in Maryville. If you can help, we would appreciate it.
Coach Pops and I attended Bryant’s funeral today in San Jose. We also had 6 players drove up to 9 hours to be there to support his family and say their goodbyes. It was a beautiful ceremony. He will be missed by many but his impact will live on. We love you Bryant!
Hard to put into words what this season has meant to me and my family. The support we have received is incredible. Thank you seniors. You will be missed. I will never forget you and this season. As I’m sitting on the bus, I’m already looking forward to next year.
Someone asked me why we recruit IOWA. Simple. Strong work ethic, well rounded, family oriented. Matches well with
@NWBearcatsFB
and
@NWMOSTATE
culture.
Coach T came to practice today and spoke to our team about the upcoming season and his experiences coaching teams that have high goals and how to run the long race. Thank you coach!
I have bloodwork & Dr appointment every 3 months
@NebraskaMed
! I Love hearing Dr. Bociek tell me when he reads my results “These numbers r SPECTACULAR! See you in 3 months!” Great results today & thank you to everyone for your support & 🙏! Issac & I cheering on

Joel Osborn is the head coach of Benedictine College's Ravens Football Team.
Listen in as we discuss the role of athletics in the development of character, his background in the college sports world, and the connection between faith and football.
The Bearcat football team claimed a share of its 30th MIAA title with a convincing 45-23 victory over previously undefeated Central Missouri. Northwest had eight sacks, forced six turnovers.

Great team win today! So fortunate to be at Benedictine where we are supported by our administration, alumni, students, and fans. My family is excited to have our players stay here for Thanksgiving week. We play at Indiana Wesleyan next Saturday for the right to go to the Semi’s!
Coach Lou Holtz spoke at Convocation today! Pictured with me is Brock Beuerlein, Freshmen Safety, on our team. Brock’s uncle Steve played for coach at Notre Dame. Coach’s message resonated with everyone and impacted a lot of lives.

Enjoyed our trip to the Dome as I was inducted into the Iowa Hall of Fame. Humbling honor. Our kids got to meet their new cousin Arya. Big time environment to watch Ankeny play SE Polk. 20 years ago our team went 13-0 with a big comeback over Mt Vernon!
Our sweet little Emma had a health scare this week. Thanks for all the texts and prayers from our family and friends. She is on the road to recovery as she has gone to four of her brothers baseball games already.
Happy Thanksgiving! What a tradition we have here at
@RavenFootballBC
. Thanksgiving meal at Mueller’s. We appreciate everyone that has made this time so special for our program.
Big day for the Osborn clan. Colin turned 6 and we moved to Atchison. We are so thankful for the people and memories made in Maryville and are looking forward to the journey ahead. Happy birthday buddy 🍩🎂🍦
We had a great day with our son Colin! He turned 5 today. He loves playing with his brothers, playing sports, riding his bike, his monster trucks, and all things Bearcat.
Have a ton of memories of Coach T but I wanted to share one that I won’t forget. When I was doing chemo in 2010 during the season, he would bring me lunch while I was plugged in. He was there when I was going through the hardest time of my life.
#TYCoachT
Happy anniversary to my beautiful wife, the mother of our children, the woman that helps so many women with their health and wellness, who supports me through thick and thin, and continues to amaze me! 13 years and many more to go!
Last practice of the year. Can’t express enough how grateful I am for the commitment of so many including our coaches, players, trainers, administrators, teachers and strength coaches. Love our people.

2022 Heart South Champs. Our staff and players have worked since last December to get to this point. Lots to be proud of. This is just the beginning as we start a new season tomorrow! Thankful for our staff, players, and our families.
We will miss AJ! He was with us at NW for a short time (2018-2019 school year); however, his memory will live on with his family, friends, teammates and those that he impacted. My prayers are with his parents, Alan and Bobbi, and his sister, Ashley.
Coach Gartenmayer’s last day coaching football this morning. He had a great message for our kids at the end. Love and Serve others. That’s what he has done for 48 years coaching here. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU, Coach!
Lots of records fell today! Really proud of our team and our offense for bouncing back. It’s been a year since we traveled to Ferris and we get to go there next week!
Coach Nigus spoke to our team about 9/11 and what it means to be a Patriot. His message was simple. We can all be Patriots. So fortunate to have him on our staff. He was an Army Ranger and received a Purple Heart. Thank you for your service coach!

Proud of our players. They have served the community of Atchison this spring and summer.

Happy 7th birthday to my oldest, Jack! He’s the biggest Bearcat fan I know. He is the leader of his brothers. He loves his family, playing with friends, all sports, any water related activity, riding his bike, and playing Madden.
Happy birthday to my youngest Isaac! He turned 3 today. Got a donut for breakfast, got to go shopping for toys and Chic-Fil-A for lunch, got to watch his brothers practice for flag football, then got a blizzard from DQ! What a day.
These two do so much for so many people. Great parents, grandparents, friends, mentors, community members, leaders, and teachers. Happy

We had another great day! 260 kids. 150 seniors. We are not a Mega Camp. Our coaching staff worked really hard to promote our camp, got quality kids to attend camp, and put on a great camp today.

Our son Jack received his First Communion this weekend. He’s growing up so fast. Audrey and I are very proud of him. He loves his family, friends, and about every sport.
Our staff is committed to developing the complete person at Benedictine. We have a great group of men that are fun to be around and put the needs of our players first. And our facilities are first class and will only get better!
@RavenFootballBC
What a performance by our players today on Family Day. Coaches did a great job with the game plan and our players executed! Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present.

@CoachReedLive
No. Play in the yard with your brothers and neighborhood kids and at school with your friends. We don’t have to structure everything for kids. Let them compete on their own and be kids. If they do play with a team, teach the fundamentals and play games but not that many.
Thankful today for the opportunity that was given to me by Coach Bostwick. I’ll never forget the day he hired me. Recruiting trip to Harlan and had the chance to see my parents and drink a beverage with my dad. One of the most memorable nights of my life.
Great time at the Chiefs game today. Really appreciate the hospitality from Jim Rowland and his crew at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs were about as efficient as they could be in a dominant win!
Not the final score we were hoping for but proud of how our guys left everything out on the field.
Thank you to all the Raven fans who made the trip to support us.
