With UMBC back in the NCAA Tournament, the legendary @UMBCAthletics X account — who’s popularity exploded in 2018 while trading shots with fans – is back and out for blood.
No one is safe.
Like Alabama fans:
We would want to challenge a relevant winning program, so we will challenge @IndianaFootball https://t.co/OSu9kDsOSx

We are literally ranked higher than y’all by 30 and 40 spots. Oh wait, forgot you think you deserve to be higher in all types of rankings just because 🤷♂️ https://t.co/ZctonFuqdx pic.twitter.com/pFWbCqpQYs

And Towson fans:

And college basketball analysts:
GUESS WHO’S BACK YALL?

Even local reporters:
We’re Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, it literally says it in our bio. Your bio says you’re a journalist. One of us did research in this interaction https://t.co/98wE0EMdea

UMBC made history in 2018, becoming the first 16-seed in NCAA Tournament history to defeat a No. 1 seed.

We can’t wait to see what UMBC Athletics has in store for us the rest of this postseason.
