-flashback to November 7, 2023-

Welcome to Davidson v USC Upstate women's basketball, live on ESPN+, your commentators this evening are…
I watched this game (despite knowing HPU's Aussie was millions to even get on the pitch) and it was even more bonkers than this suggests.

read the second post of the thread too. it only gets better.
Yeah, Gotham was great today.

But here's what High Point University did:

High Point:

Had a player sent off in the 7th minute.

Equalized in the 90th minute.

Went 7-for-7 on penalties to win the Big South Tournament.

CHESSARI AND BUCHANAN MADE THAT GOAL.

the things (i.e.: watching WSW) I go through to watch Ella Buchanan and Amy Chessari.

the general implosion of LSU continuing into its on-field play would be funny if it wasn't so damn frustrating from a general football intelligence standpoint.

this is not a normal thing to happen in a handball game.

most of the time, @mattbrown.bsky.social brings me interesting college sports business news, and it is worth far more than the...whatever price I pay with the current abject AUD exchange rate.

but not always. today, he brought us something far more important to read.

between Aimee Medwin's run that put Brisbane in position to score, and Rola Badawiya's goal, it's been a great first half for Long Beach State University.

FUCK ME SIDEWAYS. ROLA BADAWIYA.

Canisius v Sacred Heart for all the marbles!

holy moly Alex Murphy absolutely mashing R2 to get to the ball first and cutting back for Peyton Gilmore to put High Point up 1-0.

speed kills (opposition defences).

it should be illegal to show the stadium concessions stand at halftime of a game I'm watching at 8:30am.

i want processed cheese nachos (aka the greatest but worst food in the world). 😢
November 6, 2025 at 9:39 PM
can this ref please start giving out yellow cards for these Quinnipiac players doing the VAR signal.

Canisius would've won by forfeit due to red cards by now if he'd done so all game.
November 6, 2025 at 8:58 PM
quinnipiac university has an endowment of $674m, get a reliable connection for your soccer stadium ffs.
November 6, 2025 at 8:54 PM
This Canisius v Quinnipiac women's soccer game is absolute insanity.

oh and now we've lost the stream whilst the ref is doing a VAR check for a potential golden goal.
November 6, 2025 at 8:49 PM
well, we made heavy work of that in the fourth quarter, but we got the win.

ISSY FKN MORGAN.

it's very annoying that I have to be this hyped for a basket with two minutes left given the lead we had though.

November 6, 2025 at 9:44 AM
Why are we cutting to these pre-game coach interviews with five minutes to play? This is stuff we need to see beforehand.

Lauren Nicholson and Issy Morgan on court together.

I'd just pack up and go home.

(did I make the same joke when Kate Seebohm and Issy Morgan played for Norths together? yes. and I'll keep making it.)

if Swain wants to spend more time with Nicholson in the WNBL off-season, I wouldn't say no. 🦈

watch the monkey's paw curl and they go play NBL1 South together or something.
