Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Christ is Risen; he is Risen indeed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ntw...

He doesn't acknowledge any direct messages on social media, either, and has zero sense of humor. Blitz is all-business, no-filter. But I agree that's not ideal in the mascot world.

Michigan has been one of the most dominant teams I've ever seen in an NCAA Tournament. They will obviously be heavy favorites on Monday. UCONN is 6-0 all-time in national championship games. The Dominant Team vs. The Experienced Team. Monday night is gonna be fun.

LOVE that Coach Hurley called out all the "prognosticators" that didn't pick UCONN to win in his postgame press conference 😍

NCAA #FinalFour #3 Illinois 62 #2 UConn 71 ✅️ FINAL The Huskies hold off the Illini to advance to the #NationalChampionship game on Monday! #MarchMadness

Don't let the media spin a narrative that Final Four experience isn't a factor. Because it totally is. Illinois had a fantastic season, don't get me wrong. But they were held under 65 points only TWICE this season. Both times by UCONN. The Huskies always prepare themselves for this stage.

Eff all the media who thought that Illinois' size would be a "problem" Screw the "best offense in the country" - IT WASN'T IN INDY TONIGHT THE HUSKIES ARE PLAYING FOR THEIR 3RD NATTY IN 4 YEARS ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care if the media thinks that Arizona/Michigan is the "de facto national title game" This first semifinal has been outstanding

That was a good timeout call by Hurley, UCONN needs to regroup. Both teams are missing so many shots close to the rim, but UCONN is also hurting themselves with turnovers.

Well, it wasn't the prettiest first half, but UCONN did just enough to lead at the break UCONN 37 Illinois 29 Half

UCONN is essentially trying to turn Illinois' strength into a weakness - but that's what the Huskies have always done. If they can keep getting Illinois' big men into foul trouble, that's huge for UCONN's chances.

Illinois and the media talked all this trash all week saying their size was everything I really don't think UCONN gives a you-know-what about that UCONN is basically saying "Keep doubting us" with this start right now

ANOTHER THREE SET SWEEP! 🏐🧹 The Indy Ignite scored their 16th victory of the MLV season after sweeping Omaha in three sets Saturday afternoon in a game streamed on WTHR+! (📸: Indy Ignite)

A husky and a wolf get hyped for some basketball....🐺🏀 Happy Final Four Semifinal Saturday #UCONN #GoHuskies #StandingOnBusiness ❤️💙

"Two Becomes One" hit the TOP FIVE most played on Popular Today on Pony.FM! Thank you all so much! 💙🤍

So update: Took the car to AutoZone, ran their free diagnostic check. They think the ambient temp sensor needs to be replaced [which makes sense, since the outside temp is not showing on my dash]. But they couldn't do anything about the TPMS error. Gonna talk to my family this weekend about it.

Being a mascot fanatic for so long, I always wondered, and dreamed, if I could wear a suit myself. Dreams became concepts, concepts became new ideas, new ideas became number crunching...and last year, it became reality. Azubalt has been, without question, one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Congrats and best of luck!!!! 😁

There *may* still be a Round 2 that develops, since we're under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until midnight. But the models and the NWS are very mixed on how severe that round will be, if at all. We shall see.

Just went through Round 1 of tonight's severe weather, and to say we were VERY LUCKY is an understatement. My town was literally right between two separate Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. Power did flicker briefly due to the wind, but that was it. And no lightning praise God!

*PARODY RELEASE!* Ever wondered what would happen if Shining Armor sang a country-style love song to Cadence? Well, WONDER NO MORE! I love the Keith Urban song "Making Memories of Us". It led to this track where Shining Armor sings about why he chose Cadence, and is optimistic about their future.

Barring any unforeseen surprises, I should be able to release a new parody from the Shining Armor set later today, April 2. Again, I apologize for not doing so last week, but it was simply a better-safe-than-sorry situation and not taking a chance with the severe weather in my area.

This. There are still a lot of really great cons out there. Everfree Northwest is amazing, both Whinny and Ciderfest are great communities with great leadership who truly care for their attendees (Charlie and Michelle are GOATed). New cons like Sunshine are amazing.

That happened TO ME PERSONALLY. The last time TrotCon did an online con, I was denied 3 CHANCES to have a Zoom with Devyn Dalton, part of my sponsor package. All for differing reasons/"excuses". I am also grateful to @volrathxp.bsky.social for sending red flags before I tried to go to Trot '25.

And now to add another layer on top of my stress, my car Silver Howl is starting to make some not so great noises, and two lights have come on that normally don't. May have to have my mom's friend who's good with fixing cars take a look at it 😑

Yes, I know the weather is going to be rotten today, and all this week. But I just have to take it one day at a time, and be as brave as I can be. I know that I can't control it, but I *also* know I can't let it control me. It's my same mantra every storm season...I just have to believe it. 😤

I've watched the replay of UCONN beating Duke at least 3 times, and it's *just now* starting to sink in that UCONN won that game. I'm so proud of the Huskies, and I really hope they win it all in Indy. I've been chatting with Jonathan on Instagram all tourney long, and he appreciates my support!

I spent *all night* at work depressed thinking UCONN had lost, and now I find out thru highlights that they ACTUALLY WON Y'all need to understand: Before that, I have *never* seen Duke blow a 20+ point lead. EVER! They just don't blow those leads! But they did. The Final 4 in Indy just got better.

To think I had such a nice time over the last 3 days... ...but now the rest of this week is looking like an absolute mess, both weather-wise and sports-wise. This will be a week of remembering to have deep breaths and positive thoughts

Made it home from Indy after a fun day of basketball at Gainbridge Fieldhouse! Got to see two FANTASTIC state title games, but the one that I was there for MADE ME HAPPY! Congrats to the Barr-Reeve Vikings on their 3rd Class A title, and the PARKE HERITAGE WOLVES on their FIRST Class 2A title!

To think that Reed nearly cost UCONN the game with some of his boneheaded plays defensively, but somehow a 58 percent free throw shooter comes through clutch in the final seconds with two huge free throws. Absolutely crazy.

1] Mets 2] Royals 3] Mr. and Mrs. Met 4] Sluggerrr 5] Southpaw 6] Dinger 7] Any time Bernie Brewer goes down the slide 8] Home run ROBBERIES at the wall 9] Any other MLB mascot, really 10] Rockies 11] White Sox

Taking a PPTO day to recover today, after I didn't get home from Michigan until 3am this morning. I still had a very fun day yesterday, and believe me, I would have been an absolute mess had I stayed at home during the severe weather.

Someone posted on an alternate social media site that Carolina blue and teal are the same color... Ummmm.....

Needed to just get out of the house and have some me time on my day off. Having a fun time here in New Buffalo, Michigan at the casino. Haven't lost too much money so far! 😁 Now eating lunch at Timbers, where I always go when I'm here.

Due to the likelihood of severe weather in my state Thursday, I will be postponing this week's parody release to next Thursday. Apologies in advance and thanks for your understanding 💙🤍

For today's #FursuitFriday, let's talk about handlers. Anybody ever struggled to find a good handler? Then this song is for you. Performed live at #BLFC2025. Paws and Effect's next show will be at TFF next week! Hope to see you there!

May have to make a trip to Indianapolis on Saturday to watch State Finals action in high school basketball... The Parke Heritage WOLVES will be playing for a Class 2A title against Westview, and are seeking their 1st title in school history. A wolf supporting a fellow pack? It only makes sense 🐺

Props to High Point for becoming the tournament darling of 2026. Those players - Rob Martin, Chase Johnston, Cam'ron Fletcher and others - left it all out on the floor and went toe-to-toe with the SEC champs. We will not soon forget Purple Panther Power. 💜🖤

TEXAS KEEPS PROVING ME WRONG ON TO THE SWEET 16

Texas leading Gonzaga 62-56 with about 5 minutes to go...

🤮🤮🤮 PLEASE, anyone but Duke win this tournament

Duke starting to pull away, and to quote Mike Gundy, it makes me want to puke.

LET'S. GO. FROGS.

Michigan's got it. Saint Louis isn't effective when they're not hitting shots, and Michigan is definitely taking the Billikens out of their offensive rhythm.

NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY For the first time in the Round of 64, on one of the two days, the betting favorite has gone PERFECT. 16 favorites. 16 wins. NO UPSET FRIDAY has finally happened.

Kansas survives 68-60. Favorites now 14-0. It's down to Miami and UCONN.....

Florida's dominant win gets the favorites' record to 13-0 today. Kansas is certainly on track to make it 14-0. Miami and UCONN are the biggest question marks to see if the first ever No Upset Friday in the Round of 64 happens.

We are halfway to NCAA Tournament history. There has NEVER been a day during the Round of 64 where the betting favorites went 16-0. Favorites are 8-0 so far [Utah St. was favored over Villanova even though they were the lower seed]. Iowa is the only lower seed favored [-1.5 over Clemson] tonight.
