Thought I'd take a moment to share my Substack again as more and more people are joining @bsky.app. I write about #NCAAIceHockey, #PWHL, all things footy, and #WoSpo. I also host a podcast where I interview people about their lived experiences with mental illness. Read, subscribe, and enjoy! 😊

Can we do the same exile thing to Delulu Don that they’re doing to King Charles’ brother Andrew?!

Make exiling disgraced political leaders great again!

The audio for tonight’s Augie vs NMU game is crackly. Hopefully it doesn’t stay like this all night. 😑 @ccha.bsky.social

It’s time for the @ccha.bsky.social rematch between Augustana and Northern Michigan.

Will the Vikings sweep the Wildcats or will NMU finally snap its winless streak?

Wisconsin’s loss to Minnesota last night must have lit a fire because the Badgers are playing hot in today’s game.

I’m seeing that Texas A&M just upset Texas, making Nebraska the only women’s volleyball program in the country to remain undefeated.

Minnesota hands Wisconsin its first loss of the season in the first game of the Border Battle in Madison. This is the first loss on the Badgers home ice since 2024. The National Champions fell hard tonight, but they won’t stay down, I’m sure.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

One word: playoffs.

Two words: title defense.

Three words: Tomorrow. Get hype.

We're taking on FC Naples at 6:30pm Saturday in what's sure to be a tempestuous affair, so strap in! ⛈️
