"It cannot be... IT CANNOT BE" This was @sroche123.bsky.social's reaction when I revealed to him who PFF had chosen as the best Broncos Safeties of the past twenty years New episode of Dublin to Denver dropping later today

Once someone suggests the chorus of Country House is '..lives with a mouse, a very big mouse and a monkey..' that's all you can hear when it's being played.

🎶Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It's back to school I go.🎶 Delighted to have been offered a place on DCU's Doctor of Education programme!

Arm of God, brain of pigeon had me dying on this week’s Dublin to Denver. I had fun with the remembering some guys segment from PFF that was touched upon (and agreed with Sheriff’s pick) and look forward to the defensive reveal next go around. @sroche123.bsky.social @columfromcork.bsky.social

That’s a wrap on #EFYE2026 in Szeged. Got to share the story of our Esbjerg collaboration with Kenneth, finally met some people I’d only known online, and spent proper time with friends old and new. Ended it soaking in a 19th-century thermal bath while locals played chess in the water.

#EFYE2026 had a bit of everything! A workshop where I might have discovered a long-lost cousin. Go to Hungary, come home with new family. The diaspora is wild. A hacky sack juggling game that my team absolutely won. For the record. The Irish crew got together for a photo too.

Day one of #EFYE2026 Ran two workshops, fuelled by some seriously good coffee Handed out a load of Sheriff badges too. Turns out a border collie’s face on a badge is a better icebreaker than anything I could put on a slide More old friends, more new faces

Day one in Szeged. Spent the afternoon wandering the city before the conference kicks off properly. The architecture, the food, the people. Already a fan. Old friends, new faces, and a proper sense of community. This is why I keep coming back. More to come. #EFYE2026

Early start as I head to Hungary for #EFYE2026 See you soon Szeged!

The world needs more headlines about elephants trampling big game hunters. Let’s make it a daily thing.

Today is Tasters and Tours at MIE. Not a traditional Open Day, and that's deliberate.

Laughed an inordinate amount

Damn, @columfromcork.bsky.social and @sroche123.bsky.social weren’t kidding. P Smith truly is everywhere. If he happens to see this, we’ll see you next time on Dubuque to Denver, an Amish NFL podcast.

Very interesting article by my friend @columfromcork.bsky.social reflecting on structural constraints facing college students as they juggle multiple demands and ways to build structured space/time on campus to create belonging

My article has just been published in Waypoint. It’s about how the structures we create, timetables, campus spaces, even how we organise the first week, shape whether students stick around or head straight home.

I’ve been getting signs lately…

Got word today that a piece I wrote on Tasters and Tours at Marino has been accepted for publication in JPAAP. It’s about rethinking how we run Open Days at @marinoinstitute.bsky.social

The dog thread (and a Sheriff update) Stitches out. Energy back. Cone retired Sheriff is now sporting a post-surgery suit. He’s much happier in it. Still waiting on biopsy results, but for now: All systems go! #DogsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyDogs
