The new Seattle Kraken third jersey is obvious pandering to the pond hockey community in Alaska. Glow in the dark logos for a state where outdoor skating is often after dark? Gonna be sick combined with glow in the dark pucks and headlamps.

If you wanna be a professor these days… make sure it truly is your calling. Otherwise… do something else with your time.

I should be allowed to require students to wear pieces of tape on their forehead with their name written on it, just like in hockey

The BLS is great, the data it collects is incredible, and it would be a horrible own-goal to ruin that

I'm always impressed with how the UAA student athletes show up for camps to give back to local kids.

Journalist friends, I have zero objections to stories about how it’s gotten much harder for young college grads to find a job BUT I’d love to see at least some of that effort redirected to writing about how it’s gotten much harder for young high school grads to find a job
