He's seen all kinds of content, a great deal of which has been about those who have been combating the virus. There have also been many other ones that have featured ways to stay connected, spotlights on seniors and anything and everything that could be considered fun and interesting.
For instance, there was this, which offers you your first chance to get a Bella Alarie Dallas Wings shirt.
just surreal! #32 pic.twitter.com/9AB4RjJ9Gt— Bella Alarie (@bella_alarie) April 29, 2020
That looks pretty good, right?Alarie, of course, wore No. 31 during her time at Princeton. According to the Wings' website, No. 31 belongs to Kristine Anigwe, a second-year player out of Cal, which left Alarie without her college number.
The roster on the website lists 16 players, including Alarie. Of those 16 players, nine, or one more than half, are listed as 6-3 or taller, including the 6-4 Alarie.
The ability to buy her new shirt was not that only appearance for Alarie on social media the last few days. She was also the latest person featured in the "Tig Talks" series with Cody Chrusciel.

There was this yesterday from the women's lacrosse team on Instagram:
Who is that?
It's Kate Mulham, who as it turns out was a baby model. Here's what she looks like now:
That's the same face, right?
When you see a picture of someone when they were a baby, one of two things happens. Either it's "Yup, completely unchanged" or "Nope, don't see it." There's no real middle ground on that.
Princeton women's lacrosse was featured on the NCAA Lacrosse Instagram page as well. That was under its "Top Plays of the Year" segment.
It features a behind-the-back goal from Kyla Sears. The unseen assist, by the way, belonged to Katie Reilly.
Today was to be the start of the Ivy League lacrosse tournaments. The men's event was to be at Hofstra, and the women were to be at the home of the No. 1 seed.
The Princeton women had as good a chance as anyone to host. The men had as good a chance as anyone to head into Hofstra as the No. 1 seed.
Today is May 1, which would have been the beginning of what figured to be an extraordinary month for Princeton Athletics. Over the next 30 days, there would have been Ivy League championships and other postseason events across all of the spring sports.
Who knows what would ever have happened?
TigerBlog has tried to stay away from too much "what if-ing" as the spring as gone along. He's done some, especially on gamedays or on Fridays, when games should be rolling around.
In some ways, it'll probably be easier, especially for the athletes, once the last possible day to have competed has passed.
On May 1, it's hard not to play the "what if" game. And on this Friday, for the first time since the seasons were postponed, he isn't sure exactly where he would have been and what game he would have been watching.
Instead the surreal spring of moves along.
As it does, it's good to know there are ways to stay connected.
