There were rumors, of course. Rumors and speculation that Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard were “together”. One could not watch their games, their interviews, their interactions, without noticing that hint of possessiveness between them. And though some fans argued the two and their teammate Kevin Day were just obsessive and fiercely protective over one another, it couldn’t be ruled out altogether that Neil and Andrew had something more between them.
Take the final match between the Palmetto State Foxes and Edgar Allen Ravens in 2007, for example. Riko Moriyama had Neil Josten alone on the first-fourth after the game. He’d brought his racket down in a sweeping, but fast, arc, straight at Neil Josten’s head. Andrew Minyard had appeared between one blink and the next, batting Riko’s racket away so forcefully that the blow had snapped Riko’s arm. No one who watched that tape back thought Andrew could have made it in time. He’d been behind the goal line! The speed he’d moved at wasn’t possible. But he had. There was a term for adrenaline rushes like that — the ones that kicked in when someone you loved was in danger. Normally it was seen in mothers protecting their children, but fans speculated Andrew had been overcome with hysterical strength that day, too. Only that could explain how he’d raced to Neil’s defense so quickly.
Both players were extremely tight-lipped about their personal life, however, and their teammates remained steadfastly silent about it as well. That didn’t stop the press from asking.
In Neil’s sophomore year, there weren’t that many speculators, and their questions were rather tame. More curious than prodding. They all wanted to know about Neil and Andrew’s pregame stick and helmet tap ritual. Neil said it was something they’d started doing before games, and they hadn’t lost yet, so it was part of the routine now. Andrew said Neil had a pregame ritual with everyone on the team. The press didn’t seem to know what to do with these differing but not indicative accounts, and resigned to watch the two more closely. Unfortunately, no one ever saw them together outside of the court, and if they did, they always had Kevin with them.
In Neil’s junior year, more of the press had caught on to the fan theories. Their questions were more direct, and more wide-spread, trying to get insider scoops from Neil and Andrew’s teammates if not themselves.
They tried beating around the bush with the younger Foxes, asking prodding questions to get them to confess some secret about Neil and Andrew. Whatever they expected to get, it wasn’t things like, “Neil’s a great vice-captain, and Andrew is a fantastic goalie. They disagree sometimes on the court and at practice, but they’re solid teammates.” and “Oh, yeah, I was super intimidated to play with them. I followed Neil’s freshman season so closely, he was kind of my idol when I was in high school, and now I’m on his team! And Andrew — gosh, he’s the best goalie I’ve ever seen. It took me like three months of practice before I got one past him.”
And then, when they pressed, and asked more direct questions, “That’s kind of a weird thing to ask at an Exy game, don’t you think? We just won a game and you’re asking about our vice captain’s and goalie’s relationship statuses?”
Nevertheless, subreddits and YouTube compilations popped up featuring every interaction Neil and Andrew had ever had on a court. And the rumors continued to spread.
Some of the Palmetto students even got involved:

@palmstatebballplayer
I’ve been living on the same floor as Andrew and Neil for three years and I’ve never seen them do anything remotely couply together, ever.
@mandythemonkey
I have class with Andrew and he’s like the most unresponsive, unsocial person ever. I have a hard time seeing him dating anyone
@giannaaa
One time i tried to hit on Neil at a bar and Andrew came out of nowhere, grabbed Neil, glared at me, and disappeared with him. I’m not saying they’re dating, but they definitely have some weird territorial shit going on.
@unicornlegend
I saw them sitting on the roof of Fox Tower together once, but they were just smoking cigs about five feet apart and not talking at all
@user7837825
I have a hard time telling Andrew and Aaron apart but I’ve definitely seen one of them cozied up with a cheerleader in the library soooo
@goawayidontlikeyou
Have we forgotten that Andrew Minyard is like clinically psychotic and Neil Josten was a fugitive for like a decade??? Why are we shipping them instead of locking them up????
@umget4lyfeplz
Have you forgotten that second chances are literally the Foxes whole shtick? They might’ve had fucked up pasts but they’re getting better and moving on with their lives. Leave them alone.
@andreilshipper
They’re definitely together and you can’t convince me otherwise. I’ve seen Neil driving Andrew’s car, and it’s like… a SUPER expensive Maserati.
@aaronminyard
I’m Andrew’s brother and he despises Neil with a burning passion
@andrewminyard
I’m Andrew Minyard and I approve this message
It was the last two that fans latched onto, but not because people thought it was really Aaron and Andrew’s accounts… though how funny would it be if it was? No, they latched on because of the wording. Die-hard fans knew Andrew’s default state was Unimpressed Bitch. He glared more often than not, and never more than when he looked at Neil. But that was the thing — Yes, fans agreed, Andrew did hate Neil with a burning passion. And that burning passion was Love.
At the Championship game that year, Neil and Fennick, one of the freshman backliners, fielded pre-game reporters. It didn’t take long for the questions to go from “Fennick, this is your first NCAA Championship, how are you holding up?” to “Neil, we saw that you and Andrew had an intimate celebration after your last win, are you hoping for another?”
Neil frowned at the reporter. “I’m not sure what you’re referring to.”
“You were seen out to dinner together last Saturday in Columbia.”
“Oh, well, yeah, we were hungry. What’s that got to do with Exy?”
“Were you celebrating something besides your win?”
“We were having Chinese food.”
“But you and Andrew — he’s your boyfriend, right?”
“He’s not ‘my’ anything. Andrew doesn’t belong to me.”
“But you’re dating, aren’t you?”
“No.”
One might think that the shutdown was the end of the rumors. Alas, internet people are insane, and refused to believe Neil “Pathological Liar” Josten was being honest. This was only exacerbated by the semi-stalker photos of Neil and Andrew on a roadtrip that summer.

@exyluver0987
It’s just the two of them. Two of them in a car, on the opposite end of the country as South Carolina. If it was platonic, they would’ve brought Kevin.
@randomnerd01
Maybe Kevin was busy
@gofckurself
At the start of the summer, after winning a national championship, a month before they have to be back for summer practice?
@randomnerd01
You never know
At the first game of his fourth year, a reporter asked: “Neil, you’re the captain now that Dan has graduated, how has the new role affected your relationship with the team?”
“It hasn’t?” Neil replied, bemused. “I’ve been vice-captain for two years, this isn’t any different. The team respects me as a leader.”
“And how are you feeling about this being the last year you’re playing with Andrew, Aaron, and Kevin?”
“Well, it won’t be the last year for all of them,” Neil hedged. “Andrew and Kevin are going Pro next year, and I’ll be joining them in two. I doubt they’ll let us all on the same team, but with luck, we’ll all make Court, and get to play some Olympic Games together.”
“Will it be hard to be long-distance for your fifth year?”
Neil frowned at the reporter. “I’m not sure what you mean.”
“Your relationship, when Andrew graduates, will it be hard to not see each other regularly?”
Neil barked a laugh. “Honestly, after rooming with Andrew and Kevin for two and a half years, I’m ready for new roommates.”
After the game, a reporter had snagged a rare reply from Andrew:
“Yeah, I bet he’s ready for new roommates. Kevin’s the worst.”
“And how are you feeling about leaving Palmetto State, and Neil, behind?”
“We still have to make it through this year,” was Andrew’s only response.
Neither Andrew nor Neil used social media to any great degree. Neil had a Twitter account he used solely to repost Exy stats, and Andrew’s Instagram was just a collection of cat photos. That didn’t stop fans from reading into every single thing that came from “the source”. Neil reposted a gif of Andrew’s save from the game last night? Confirmation. Andrew’s most recent cat photo featured a hand that definitely wasn’t his scratching the cat’s ears? Neil’s hand.
Their teammates, however, were not so offline. Nicky posted a group photo when visiting from Germany, prominently featuring an annoyed Andrew and a laughing Neil, who seemed to be wearing matching outfits, down to the black bands adorning each of their forearms. Kevin constantly replied to fan posts about Andrew and Neil’s successes with critiques on how they could do better, most of which boiled down to “spend less time playing video games and more time on the court”. (This wouldn’t have been significant, except that one of the freshmen posted that Andrew and Neil had clocked over three hundred hours on GTA, which meant they played together, and everyone knew about it.) But none of this compared to Robin, who had apparently been adopted by the formerly-called “Monsters”, and was constantly livetweeting her interactions with them, referring to the captain and goalie as her “dads.”
Robin @likethebird
Dad 1 showed me a knife trick today and Dad 2 walked in on me practicing, blinked, and said Dad 1 was as incompetent at teaching knife tricks as he was stupid
Matt @mattyboy.d
Yeah this sounds like something Andrew would say
Robin @likethebird
Dads wouldn’t let me flambé in their apartment because I’m a “fire hazard” and “incapable of not knocking things over” :(
Fenn :) @fennickhayes
And they’re right
Robin @likethebird
[selfie of Robin and Neil in Andrew’s car, both wearing sunglasses; Kevin can be seen looking at his phone in the backseat]
Got to ride shotgun today because Dad 2 has sibling bonding time!!
Allison @allyreynolds
Kevin looks pathetic. Also tell Neil those glasses do NOT suit him
Renee Walker @reneewalker
Quick! Go to McDonald’s while Kevin’s not looking!
Nicky @nickyyyhemms
The fact you call Andrew “Dad 2” will never not be funny to me

@aaminyard brutal
As hilarious and enjoyable as Robin’s posts were, they only added fuel to an already blazing fire. The questions became so rampant, so personal, that Coach Wymack had to step in.
“You can ask my players about the game, about practice, about post-college prospects. You cannot ask them about their personal lives. You are not entitled to that.”
Most of the reporters listened. The questions dropped off, and returned focus on the sport itself. But some just found ways around Wymack’s rules. One reporter tailed them the entire week, hoping to catch an intimate moment. She wasn’t allowed in the court or the dorms, though, so all she got was a few pictures of Andrew flipping her off from behind the wheel of his Maserati, Neil staring disinterestedly from the passenger seat. Another asked about Neil’s different captaining methods for the different positions, hoping to find something between the lines that Andrew received special treatment. He was rewarded with a dull answer about how each position was unique, but captaining was more about seeing the big picture, all of them working together, than nitpicking one individual player’s faults. The worst one was a paparazzo who followed them to Columbia, sneaking pictures of the group at Eden’s Twilight. Unfortunately for him, the only indication that there was anything between the two men was that they hardly left each others’ side. They didn’t touch, they didn’t dance, and Neil didn’t even drink. Still, the photos of them sitting together at a booth, and one grainy picture of them at the bar, where Andrew might have had his hand on the small of Neil’s back, circulated the internet. Andrew filed a restraining order the next day. The pap was put on a “Do Not Hire” list a few hours later.
Things seemed to chill out after that, the press collectively deciding having a job was more important than getting an answer to their questions. The Foxes had an uneventful winter, and made it to the playoffs in the spring, as was now custom. But as the weeks counted down to the Championship game — the last game Neil and Andrew would play in together for the foreseeable future — the parasocial fans grew restless. Would they last long distance? Would they come out, now that they weren’t on a team together? Would they kiss on the court if they won? Would Neil still play as well without Andrew at his back? Would Andrew play as well without Neil to urge him on?
The Foxes won the Championships. Neil and Andrew did not kiss on the Inner Court. But they did, somehow, end up doing press together after the game. This was it, thought the reporters. Both of them together, the last chance we’re going to get.
“Neil, Andrew, how are you feeling after playing your last game together?”
“Good,” answered Neil. “The team really wanted this, and you could tell in the way we played. I’m really proud of the work we’ve put in, and happy that we came out on top.”
“Andrew, your last game as a Fox, what emotions are going through your head right now?”
“I really want some ice cream, honestly.”
“Are you looking forward to the Draft? Will you be bringing Neil as your date?”
“The Draft will certainly be interesting. Hard to say who’ll get snatched up first.”
The reporter laughed. “Definitely not Kevin Day, huh?”
Andrew raised an eyebrow. “I’d be surprised if he made top ten.”
“And Neil? Are you looking forward to the Draft?”
“I’ve already figured out who’s going where. Kevin and I have a bet going to see if I’m right.”
“Where does Andrew end up, in your mind?”
“Carolina Scepters. Their backline is suffering, so they’ll be looking to shore up their defense.”
“That’s close to home, huh? Hoping you’ll be able to stay near each other?”
“What do you mean?” asked Neil blankly.
“It’ll be nice to be only a state away, if Andrew ends up at Carolina.”
“I mean, I guess,” Neil shrugged.
“And Andrew? Do you think Neil’s prediction has merit?”
“Neil’s an idiot, but I’ll bet against Kevin any day.”
“Fair enough.”

Neil did, in fact, attend the Draft. But not explicitly as Andrew’s date. His movements of the night were documented by the date of one of the other prospects, who had come purely to gather evidence for herself.

Andrew’s first Pro season, he avoided as many cameras and reporters as possible. It was rare to get a comment from him, and even rarer for him to appear sans-helmet in any promotional material. He wore his goalie gear as a shield, no one ever caught him smiling. Neil’s fifth year season, on the other hand, saw an open ferocity that rivaled that of his freshman year’s. Reporters commented that it seemed he was trying to prove himself, in the absence of his older peers. “Just trying to be the best I can be,” was his answer. “Half the battle of being a good captain is putting in the effort you expect from your teammates.”
They mentioned Andrew, asked how Neil thought the Scepters’ season was going. “I’d prefer to talk about the Foxes. We did just win our first game, after all.”
“Right, of course. How is your new starting goalie faring, in Andrew’s absence?”
“Janie is killing it, as far as I’m concerned. And I’m excited for you to see Robin in action. She didn’t get to play much last year, but she’s a beast now.”
“We’re looking forward to it! Has Andrew been back for a visit since the season started?”
Neil gave the reporter a blank-faced look. “Andrew graduated last year. He’s busy playing pro. Now, the backline we have this year is going to turn some heads —”
Twitter, of course, went into a frenzy.
Hannahhh @hannahg
did… andrew and neil... break up??????
Violet Rose @flowergirl13
literally what was that interview????? Neil was totally shutting down even a MENTION of andrew
Jake @exysportsguy
Help! My faves have broken up and I can’t do anything about it!
Eric @altmaneric
They were literally never together
mira @palmettooofoxesss
I do in fact refuse to believe that 3-4 years together crumbled the second Andrew left Palmetto
Kevin Day’s Hand Scar @daysornights
Foxes play one (1) game and all anyone can talk about is that their captain might have broken up with his boyfriend. Guys this is why they never confirmed the relationship. :((
Fatima @fatimalovesexy
Can we just focus on the sport please!!!! They did not ask us to be involved in their private lives!!!
The good news was that #AndreilBreakup was trending on twitter, and reporters avoided asking the two men anything about the other to show they #cared. The bad news was that #AndreilBreakup was trending on twitter, and everyone was sharing their favorite #AndreilMoments from over the years, which did nothing but push their relationship more into the limelight. Worse, critics were attributing mistakes from Andrew and Neil to their “obvious melancholy post-breakup.”
Nothing could stop the train. Fans from all over the country were mourning the “greatest exy relationship that ever was”. They speculated which team Neil would be drafted to next year. If he’d be in the same conference as Andrew. If the games between them would show a competitiveness that they’d never before seen from those two, now that they were not only rivals but exes. The question of if they’d ever officially been together was swept under the rug, a clear “yes” stamped on top. Because how else do you explain the clear disdain on Neil’s face when asked about Andrew?
No one stopped to wonder if this was all clearly a ploy to get the press off their backs, so they could focus their first year apart on Exy and not themselves. If it was a ploy, it’d backfired spectacularly.
The Foxes didn’t win Championships that year. They were good — made it to the finals against USC. But without Kevin and Andrew, they just didn’t have enough firepower to make it across the finish line. Neil left the team in good hands with Fennick and Robin, the new Captain and Vice. They’d both shown extreme promise over the course of the season, and commentators were already looking forward to seeing how the team changed with an entirely new group than the one that had beat the Ravens all those years ago. Would the stardom remain, without their golden nine? They’d be excited to find out.
Neil attended the Draft with Robin and Coach Wymack. He was picked 3rd overall, by the Nashville Wildcats. He tweeted his first original post ever:
Neil @jos10
WHAT TEAM?
Dan Wilds @danwilds
WILDCATS!!!
Robin @likethebird
GETCHA HEAD IN THE GAME!
Renee Walker @reneewalker
Congrats, Neil!
Kevin Day @thekevinday
Good fit.
Neil @jos10
Did @thekevinday just pay me a compliment?
Kevin Day @thekevinday
No.
Alix @exygirl369
FUCK YEAH MY FAVE PLAYER GOT DRAFTED BY MY FAVE PRO TEAM MY LIFE IS WORTH LIVINGGG
Nashville and Carolina were in the same conference, which meant Neil and Andrew would be on the court together sooner than later. And this time, as rivals.
By the following week, Neil was living in a hotel in Nashville while his team management found him an apartment to rent. He started showing up in promotional material by week two, branded bandana holding back his bangs. You could just see the black arm bands he still wore peeking out from beneath his arm padding.
Violet Rose @flowergirl13
Neil does look good in green, what can I say XP

Michael B @michaelbplayingexy
Who wants to bet Neil scores on Andrew in the first 15 and Andrew shuts him out for the rest of the game out of spite?
Fatima @fatimalovesexy
That does seem like something he would do
Aaron M @aaminyard
Counter Bet: Andrew shuts him out the whole game
Michael B @michaelbplayingexy
AARON MINYARD???? Okay sir, you’re on!!
The game was down to the wire. Andrew was a better goalie than he’d been in college. The Scepters had done what Neil said they would and worked on their defense, which was now a solid brick wall. The Wildcats, on the other hand, had an offensive lineup to break through anything. Their precision, speed, and energy put cracks in a wall that had completely stopped other teams. Neil made it through to shoot on goal three times in the first half. Andrew saved them all.
“There’s some resentment there,” said the commentators. “See the way Josten lingered after his last shot? He’s angry. He wants this. But Minyard isn’t letting him have it.”
“And why should he? Look at him, he’s having the time of his life blocking Josten from scoring.”
The game ended 4-3, Scepters’ favor. Both Andrew and Neil were tapped for press duty after the game. It was Andrew’s first press appearance since the beginning of last season. He removed his gloves, dropping them to the floor, then unstrapped his helmet and shook out his pale blond hair.
“Andrew,” said the reporter. “You had a familiar face on the court today. What was it like seeing your former teammate on the opposing team?”
“Different. But I’ve stopped enough of Josten’s shots to know where he’s putting them.”
“Pity he got one through, isn’t it? You almost had him shut out.”
“He surprised me.”
“Hard to do!”
“It is.”
“How are you feeling about the win?”
“Good. The team played well. Our defense has come a long way since I started on the team. We feel like a unit now.”
“It definitely shows on the court, the Wildcats were having a hard time getting past your backliners.”
“And that’s the way we want it.”
“Of course. Well, thank you, Andrew, congrats again on the win!”
“Thanks.”
He moved to pick up his gloves, the camera following his hands down before it switched to Neil’s interview with a different reporter. The frontliner had removed his bandana, leaving a definitive crease in his hair where it had been held in place. He was also glove-free, hands on hips, focusing his attention on the reporter next to him.
“Neil Josten, what a game! A tough loss, but you scored on your former teammate. Talk me through how you’re feeling right now.”
“Tough loss, like you said. You never want to end with a one-point difference. But I’m glad I got one on Andrew. He prides himself on knowing my tells, so it was nice to trip him up at least once.”
“Now, is this old competitiveness coming out, or is the rivalry the real deal?”
“Rivalry? I mean, we’ve always been competitive, I guess. He doesn’t like being bested, least of all by me.”
“I see, so a long-time rivalry between two former teammates, huh?”
“Right, yeah. I suppose so.” He ran a hand through his sweat-slicked hair.
“What is the team going to work on coming out of this game?”
“Our offense is cutthroat, but our unity could use some work. I think going up against the Scepters’ defense was a good challenge for us. We’ll take a lot of good learning out of this game.”
“Glad to hear it. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks, Neil.”
“Yeah, thanks.”

mira @palmettooofoxesss
ARE YOU TELLING ME IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2011 THAT ANDREW MINYARD AND NEIL JOSTEN ARE FUCKING MARRIED??????
Jake @exysportsguy
Unless it’s just a crazy coincidence!!!
#AndreilIsAlive was trending for weeks. Both of their twitter accounts were spammed with questions. Neither of them answered any. The press, miraculously, ignored the frenzy, and focused their questions on the games and teams. It was a wondrous change of pace from the college circuit. And because no one was able to get a straight answer out of either party, the fans were left empty-handed for the entire season. It had been majorly adopted across the fanbase that the finger tattoos confirmed Neil and Andrew’s relationship, but there were still doubters and haters. Homophobic comments circled the internet, claiming “keep your sexuality out of sports” and “they’re too good of players to be gay”, because some people didn’t understand how sexuality worked. By the end of the regular season, only a select few were still begging for confirmation, and the rest were happily calling them “The Husbands of Exy”.
That is, until one tweet shattered their reality entirely.
Aaron M @aaminyard
Alright. I’m tired of it. They’re not fucking married, they’re just insane. Send tweet.
