Mendoza's poor split lip. He's going to reopen that cut a few hundred times tonight.

I want Indiana to win, but we'll get some tremendous content if Miami can score here.

I also think it's a problem because most of the first round matchups simply aren't any good. Going from 64 a day to 43 really lessens our chances of any one of them being good.

At halftime, I decided to boot up my computer just so I could do this. You're welcome. #NCAAFB #CFP #Doink @sarahspain.com @cjzero.bsky.social

So wonderful seeing her signing autographs (and Ukrainian flags!) in the background of Madi's interview. Lol.

Ok, Defying Gravity by the IU Band was excellent!

Ok, this woman is incredible and now I don't care who wins this match.

FYI, if you're wondering how to pronounce Madison Keys' opponent's name, check out the recording on her WTA page. www.wtatennis.com/players/3271...

In honor of both #MonochromeMonday and Indiana playing in the national championship game, here's how great my ass looks in my Homefield sweatpants.

Nicole deserves her flowers. While national media parachutes in and only covers occasional PWHL games or the Olympics, she's out here putting in the real work and is the only person covering the entirety of the U-18s. She's also the only one covering the entirety of NCAA women's hockey.

Love the possessed exorcist moves.

I need sluttier IG friends.

Love that the game is now on MLK day, that means I'll never be traveling for it and I'll always be in Central time zone. I used to always be on eastern time for this game, and that sucks!

Herbert Update. Look at this sleepy boy.

USA wins gold 2-0 thanks to an incredible performance by goalie Bianca Birrittieri. Wild that, in a tournament where they outscored everyone by like 10 goals, the MVP of the gold medal game was the goalie.

It feels very much like a Wisconsin-Ohio State game.

Watching the Australian Open when they show gorgeous shots of Melbourne gives me major fomo. 🎾 Melbourne is one of the best cities in the world, and it's rude to remind me of their beautiful summers when I'm stuck in Wisconsin in January.

And USA takes a 1-0 lead over Canada thanks to a future Badger, with an assist from a future Gopher.

And here's Nicole's very helpful rundown of college commitments for all these players. victorypress.org/2026/01/02/2...

If you enjoyed today's PWHL games, turn on NHL Network to see future NCAA and PHWL stars in the U-18 gold medal game. Follow @nicolehaase.bsky.social, too, as she's in Nova Scotia covering it!

Seems like the best market, but as we've learned, home venue is key. That arena already has two home tenants, so they likely can't play there. The Mystics arena is only 4,200 seats (and not sure if it even has ice).

75% of my job is emails and meeting notes. The fact that I can type as fast as people talk saves me so much time. Yet it takes some of my coworkers 15 minutes to write one email. We should get typing speed bonuses.

I've recently learned that most people simply do not know how to type on a keyboard, and it makes gen AI's explosion make a lot more sense.

Another Sunday leg day. Groundbreaking.

Part of me wonders what my life would be like had I gone to NYU. I'd still be paying off my loans, but I would have come out of the closet much earlier.

Both. I had to take the ACT to get into NYU even thought I had no intention of attending. I just had an asshole teacher who told me I couldn't get into NYU, so I did it just as a fuck you to that guy.

Love to spend 15 minutes getting bundled up, only for my dog to give up two minutes into our walk because it's too cold.

Honestly, if I though Craig Tiley was actually smart, I would believe this was a planned skit.

Bet Broncos fans are more open to this idea now

We're 2 hours into the Australian Open and I already can't stand these National Car commercials. I'm a National girlie through and through, but I might reconsider if they make me hear a crying baby 5 times a set. #AusOpen

This Arthur Fery fella is fun to watch. A shame that Cobolli has basically given up, though. #AusOpen

I think playoff games should end in a tie and the teams just combine for the next round of the playoffs. Let's go Denvalo Billcos.

God help the scum sucking invertebrate liberals that try to guilt or pressure me into voting for this demon.

It's time for a long weekend of binging too much sports. Starting with women's hockey, rolling right into the Australian Open tonight.

I'm not drinking this month, but I still went to underwear night last night completely sober. It was still very fun. But I didn't have the courage to actually talk to anyone I didn't already know. Lol.

Wow, what happened to Finland women's hockey? Since forever, they were always #3 behind USA and Canada. But now, they're not even in the top division for U-18s. And their senior team is way behind the new #3, Czechia.

Another good thread. And another reminder that I saw just how gross and homophobic things were when I worked for an NHL team: bsky.app/profile/jove...

I'm going to buy so much Tina and Milo merch in Milan.

The Brewers are in town this weekend, too. It's against the Braves, though, and the Sunday night game is in Williamsport. Lol.

Since the Pitt football game in Madison was canceled, all Pitt fans should just come to Milwaukee for this instead!

This happened at O'Hare yesterday too. After we already went through customs in Montréal, we had to show our passports to get off the jet bridge. It was gross.

Happy Tennis Season! Time for my breakout picks that will inevitably let me down (At least it can't be worse than last year!) WTA Top 50: Daria Kasatkina 🇦🇺 50-100: Teresa Valentova 🇨🇿 100+: Polina Kudermetova 🇺🇿 ATP Top 50: Nuno Borges 🇵🇹 50-100: Eliot Spizzirri 🇺🇸 100+: Henrique Rocha 🇵🇹

Meanwhile, the real danger is me going back to my hometown where they wave confederate flags in Pennsylvania, everyone has a million guns, and they literally want people like me dead.

Exactly. These rural fucks don't know anything about city life, but a very large percentage of city residents grew up in these awful places. We know what it's like on the other side. They only know their fantasy world of constant murders.

This is gonna sound harsh but you gotta stop talking to these hicks out in bumfuck towns. I know these people. They know less than nothing, it all comes from newsmax and facebook. They live in a fantasy world and everything they have is because of the cities they hate. They aren’t real Americans.

I've even got the poutine. Where's my citizenship??

I'm in my French Canadian era.

This is so cool. Skating through a Québécois forest.

This book is great. I just don't know if I can't handle the two main characters being George and Lucas.

Check out the Lonely Planet book for your destination from the library. We do that for almost every trip and plan which neighborhoods, restaurants, and museums to see based on that. These books are surprisingly up-to-date full of good ideas. And it's written by humans!
