Northern Illinois football coach Thomas Hammock got tricked by a fake scholarship offer on Twitter.

Some genius started a Twitter profile chronicling the rise of Patrick Flowers on “NCAA Football 14,” and it’s generated a ton of attention. Flowers has been tweeting out his offers on the game, and he snagged himself one from NIU. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Hammock, seemingly unaware that the profile isn’t real, DM’d Flowers to let him know he most certainly hadn’t offered him a scholarship!

Eventually, Hammock realized he’d been played and tweeted, “Man he got me.”

During the coronavirus pandemic, we need all the joy and smiles we can get. A major college football coach getting tricked by a fake “NCAA Football 14” Twitter profile is laugh-out-loud funny.

If you don’t find this anything but hilarious, then the problem is with you. The profile is obviously fake and Hammock still fell for it!

Flowers is tweeting video game highlights! Did Hammock not simply click it to find out?

This whole situation also made me miss the hell out of the “NCAA Football” video games. I used to play those all the time in college.

We’d get hammered at the bars, return home and play for a couple more hours. Nothing was more fun than creating a fast quarterback, and just running the spread option.

Hopefully, the game will return someday! That’d be a gigantic gift to college football fans around the country.
