That penalty:

“too many sweaters on the ice“ would be both gender neutral and kind of charming in a very hockey way

feels like "one" would be too many men on the ice in this game

truly incredible that anyone puts up with me

But I was told by a certain blogger that there was no way to make coverage of women's sports financially viable...

i can say from experience that it’s pretty easy to move your newsletter from substack to beehiiv and i don’t see a good reason not to do it

six weeks sober!

I went to Minnesota's game notes to look up who the announcers were. The first thing I saw was this picture so I stopped caring about that

minnesota-osu has been a really fun back and forth game but the announcing is rough and the stream quality hasn’t been much better

one of the emails my family got from our neighborhood pause the plan people included a statement that said YIMBYs are funded by the koch brothers, these people are completely detached from reality

goddamn, EVERYTHING IS TUBERCULOSIS is so, so good. the postscript hit like a truck. everythingistb.com

IT'D BE COOL IF THE SCHOOL THAT DID THIS HAD A VARSITY WOMEN'S HOCKEY PROGRAM

Carl Hagelin is incredibly conflicted right about now

go blue

olympic overtime: hey, do you remember nhl open ice?

the men's game that pushed ohio state-minnesota wbb to big ten plus is... maryland (3-11 in the big ten) at northwestern (2-13)

how in the world is trying to cancel my espn subscription the most difficult interaction i've had this year

got a reply i disagreed with that had one like and the person who liked it both didn't follow me and was on the transphobia list, that was a life-affirming block

My favorite stat from the 1st half: all 9 Wolverines who saw the court outscored Braden Smith.

Thought maybe the Taylor, Traylor and Maceo teams, but Purdue had a 7'2" 285# dude and a 6'11" guy.

Fletcher Loyer being annoying as hell honestly might be the most unifying thing for all non-Purdue B10 fanbases.

lj cason is gonna be a dude

already deeply annoyed by fletcher loyer, please get this dub

I feel like Tom Gores and the Pistons should be included here, his private equity firm owns the prison phone monopoly, it's at least adjacent to the DHS concentration camp industrial complex.

40 days sober and this picture is appropriately gorgeous. running the damn ball.

the next post says she jogged back out looking okay but good lord the fs1 broadcast really did a terrible job all around yesterday. explains why delfosse only played 12 minutes.

new on the bucket problem: michigan raised naz hillmon's iconic 00 to the crisler center rafters, then showed her just how much they've built on her success by pasting rival michigan state. thebucketproblem.beehiiv.com/p/michigan-m...

wild is definitely the right word given the state of my facial hair. also, strongly recommend meeting your internet friends IRL.

Michigan's effective FG% goes up 10.2%, offensive rebounding rate goes up 4.9% and their turnover rate goes down 3.8% with BQD on the floor in Big Ten play Pretty good!

Delightful story by Ace Want one more BQD stat for good measure? During Big Ten play, Michigan is ~*16.8 points* better with Quarles Daniels on the floor (+11.2 to +27.9 with some weird rounding)

i didn't have a good spot to put this in the post, but some more context for how far this program has come: in two of my four years at umich (2006-07 to 2009-10), the team's leading scorer didn't average double-digit points per game.

Michigan has more women's hockey players, and more HS age women's hockey players than Wisconsin! There are nearly 6000 womens hockey players in the state. They should be able to stay home!

Its a great crime that they could be at the fore front of getting players like Nela Lopusanova to play at Yost but instead players of that caliber are going to other big ten programs like Wisconsin or Ohio State.

shout out to Hutch

michigan doesn't have varsity women's hockey and the history may shock you! (it will not shock you.)

Does anyone with #MECFS in the U.S. have a disability lawyer you like and recommend? I’m having a tough time. Bonus points if they’re in the Chicago area. Thanks. 🫠

holy hell, the stats when you split off the first quarter of today's game are absolutely bonkers

[Discussion of the celebrity game and Mat Ishiba hitting a shot over Tacko Fall.] Noah Eagle to Jamal Crawford: "How many games did you play at Michigan?" Crawford: "Enough to get drafted #7." Reggie Miller: "Do you know the number?" Crawford: "It was 17."

jesus, this is scary

Blair's just 3 TOs away from a triple double

checked into the daytona finish and lmaoooooo amazing

I just checked, Michigan didn't Rutger Rutgers like that

Q. DANIELS, BRO absolutely wrecking shop on the defense and the offensive glass
