Now, Wagner's only win so far this season came against Southern Connecticut State, while Central Connecticut is still searching for their first overall win in 2026.

But both teams are coming off an extremely encouraging performance.

In particular, Central Connecticut State coming off an extremely encouraging performance against the number one team in the country, Montana State.

Okay.

I'm on my way there for Southern Connecticut State University's homecoming.

They had one more name, and I was going to say that's a fake school.

Next Saturday in New Haven, I'll be there.

I don't know her resume.

Is that what they say about Rob Parker at Southern Connecticut State? I heard of him.

I heard of him, yeah.

I didn't know he went

So today, guys, we're going to explore the lessons behind Tim's journey from the football field as well.

By the way, he played football at Southern Connecticut State University.

We'll go from that to the trading floor, to entrepreneur, to CEO now, and the mindset that has carried him through both extraordinary success and profound adversity.

So Tim, welcome to Chat with Traders.

No, the only thing...

That I do, I occasionally have some interns from Southern Connecticut State University.

I'll have them for a semester.

And then I have a lot of their students that I hire to help me out over the summer too.

Always media savvy, they had a museum in their basement of reportedly haunted objects and retained Douglas Associates, a talent agency, to book them on paid lectures.

They also taught a class on the paranormal at Southern Connecticut University.

And so, on March 6, DiDio and Scott went to 112 Ocean Avenue with a TV crew, the Warrens, and Mary Pascarella, a psychic who appeared on local television and taught classes on psychic powers at Huskatonic Community College.

Also with them was Alberta Riley, a psychic who said she could predict when a person would die, George Kakouris and Jerry Solfin of the Psychical Research Foundation, and numerous cameramen and technicians.

I got very overwhelmed.

I had a little meltdown in the parking lot of Southern Connecticut State University.

One of my sisters had earned a master's there, so I thought I might really like the school.

And I went there and I just I told my mom, I'm like, I can't do this is too big of a campus for me.

Meanwhile, moving on to story two in Staten Island, the Wagner Seahawks, they were looking to regroup following last week's home loss to Robert Mars.

It was their annual blackout game at Hamline Field, wearing the all-black unis against Southern Connecticut State.

In his first career start, Wagner's red shirt freshman quarterback Benjamin Newman went 23 for 33, 267 yards and three touchdowns in a 31 to seven Wagner victory.

After punting on their first series, Wagner then scored touchdowns on three straight drives in the first half.

29-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Wagner had 409 yards of total offense on the day.

The defense just as dominant, holding Southern Connecticut State to just 146 yards, 28 yards on the ground, recording four sacks and forcing a turnover.

A big bounce back and step forward for the Seahawks.
