    USMNT Thread

    Soccer is a funny sport. If Pulisic finishes that chance he did well in creating for himself when it was 1-1, the game likely finishes very differently given how right after that Belgium scored to go up 2-1. Aside from getting players fit (Adams, Richards, Dest), this team needs: 1) Pulisic in...

    Is Wisconsin the 2026 version of 2025 PSU?

    Need the longer term view on the impact of making the Frozen Four. College hockey teams can be highly variable from year-to-year. For example, the team who beat us last year in the Frozen Four didn’t even make the tournament this year, and no one is thinking BU is in bad shape long-term for not...

    I think Gavin pretty much did as the conference leader in points, but the rest of the team didn’t (especially defensively). A disappointing whimper to finish out the season.

    This team plays in an NCAA game in two hours, and it’s too bad this site doesn’t even have a story about them on the main page.

    OT: Your best celebrity encounters?

    It was the middle of the afternoon early in my freshman year at PSU, and I’m walking alone from East Halls down Bigler. Suddenly I hear a voice from behind me politely ask for my attention—a voice I’m instantly and keenly familiar with. I turn around and ask the man, “Are you Reynolds?” The man...

    '26 World Baseball Classic

    With the way US bats have been mostly cold, I didn’t think we had that big of a chance to win against that DR lineup—especially once it becomes a bullpen game. But I’m thankful to have been wrong. Great pitching all night and great defense won that game.

    Penn State turned out to have a good team but not one of the elites. With recruiting wins unlike we’ve seen before in addition to coming off a Frozen Four appearance, it was not unrealistic to have high expectations of this team. Keeping the puck out of their own goal, unfortunately, became a...

    Keeping the puck out of the goal is apparently a glowing and growing problem for this team at the precisely wrong time of the season. Tough to see with the kind of offensive talent they have.

    That person’s job is not needed anymore because their conference just banned the dimming of lights or strobe effects after goals for the rest of the season. If the B1G were to ever do that it would dramatically change the theatrical goal light show at the Pegula.

    College hockey-related... It's probably a mistake by the person who controls the lighting for goal celebrations, but I find this to be so funny.

    OFFICIAL ‘26 Winter Olympics Thread

    TBH, the Olympics are chock full of niche sports—both winter and summer. It's kind of the point of the whole thing to bring all those sports together.
