This is a REBIRTH. Not a rebuild.

This makes me feel something below the belt

Live look at @DarkoStateNews

There aren’t enough brick walls on this campus for me to run through.

Ope "we will be the ones"...not an accident. I'm sold. 💚

put that shit on a tee shirt

Pump this shit into my veins.

Fitz is a guy that makes you want to fight for him. Smith never was that guy.

@JasonKillop Does anyone have a spare brick wall I can borrow

@JPFitz87 my coach just dropped the hardest lecture on tuckman’s model of team development 🔥

I think I might’ve bought tickets to the big ten championship…

My program is back

I like it!

@C_Robinson247 Storm, form, norm, perform. The way you build a system I have this in my office wall I love it.

Consider me REBORN 🔥💚

Corny as fuck

I love that Coach Fitz is using "storm" and "norm" from Tuckman’s group development model (1965), one of the most widely recognized theories in social psychology & organizational behavior regarding how teams/groups evolve over time 🧠 🧵This model was first proposed by American educational psychologist Bruce Tuckman in his 1965 paper "Developmental Sequence in Small Groups.” 🧵The Classic Tuckman Model (1965) — 4 Stages 1️⃣Forming → Team members come together, are polite & cautious, try to understand the task and each other. High dependence on leader, low conflict, but also low productivity. 2️⃣Storming → The "storm" stage! → Conflict emerges — power struggles, personality clashes, disagreements about goals/roles/methods, frustration, competition for influence. → Many teams get stuck here or regress to it when things change (new member, new task, crisis). → This stage is psychologically uncomfortable but necessary — it's how real differences surface and get worked through. 3️⃣Norming → The "norm" stage! → Team starts to coalesce — members resolve conflicts, establish norms (explicit and unspoken rules of behavior), develop trust, agree on roles, create cohesion, and begin to function more collaboratively. → Sense of group identity strengthens, people start to enjoy working together. 4️⃣Performing → The team reaches maturity — high productivity, flexibility, autonomy, effective problem-solving. Members are focused on the task rather than interpersonal drama. The group functions like a well-oiled machine. 🧵In 1977, Tuckman added a fifth stage: Adjourning (or Mourning) — the team disbands after the task is completed, with feelings of closure, sadness, or accomplishment.
