Me, silently backseating a lady on the plane playing riichi mahjong who called pon when she's a tile away from all pairs:

Hold up, *what*

I am at a bar that is playing PBS Kids on one of the TVs and I'm not sure what to think about that

Hearing MMMBop on a classic rock station and I can feel my bones crumble to dust

We’ve been tracking this one for a while and now it’s official: Fort Wayne FC to join USL League One in 2026!

Breese Stevens Field is set to host USL W League Women's Soccer Showcase on June 1st! 🏟️

We've been reporting on it for months and it's now official. The club states 2026, the league doesn't list a date. More details should be coming on Saturday after a club event at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, where the club signed on to play through 2026.

NEW: Detroit City's midfield is going to look entirely different in 2025, so why am I bullish about the new look? I dig in. That, plus notes on Omaha, Madison, and Charlotte. 🔗⬇️ www.usltactics.com/p/offseason-...

BREAKING: The USL intends to launch a 12- to 14-team Division One league in 2027-28. USL believes the U.S. is more than capable of accommodating more D1 teams. “If soccer in the country is truly going to grow, it's going to grow outside of 30 or 32 markets." www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

We are so back

I'll be participating in the Polar Plunge again this year! You can donate directly to my campaign here: plungemadison.funraise.org/fundraiser/m...

My friends have been trying to get me more into reading, so I picked up The Epic of Gargamel. Honestly, I didn't realize the Smurfs have been around for so long.

Probably not a popular opinion, but sad she's gone. She was at my Eagle Scout presentation ceremony and her family was always nothing but kind to me and mine. Rest in peace.

A slight correction to this image: the game at Indy Eleven is open to Indy Eleven ticket plan holders, not fully closed door. But, y'know, FMFC fans can't go without ponying up at least $104 for a mini pack for tickets they probably won't use.

We got the runback, kids. Let's get the same result.

My yearly U.S. Open Cup matchup predictions. Notes: - I avoided five matchups that happened in the 2024 USOC. Those are marked on the image's top right. - There are way too many amateur teams in the NY/NJ area that'll cause some unhappy long travelers. - I will be lucky to get 1/4 of these correct.

We got our yearly South American forward! (please ignore that he's actually from Illinois)

I don't know what this means, but cool! Interesting note: Amazonas is actually a younger club than Forward Madison. They were founded in January 2019 and their first competitive games in the Campeonato Amazonense Second Division started a few months after the inaugural USL League One season did.

Forward Madison will enter the 2025 U.S. Open Cup in the first round, between March 18-20. They will play an amateur team in the first round, most likely (but not guaranteed!) to be one of Duluth FC, Des Moines Menace, and Southern Indiana FC.

This might be the wildest USL League One-related rumor I've ever heard. I cannot really see this actually happening, but... well, if it did, it would be nothing short of chaotic.

Phoenix Rising supposedly sent out an email detailing the format of this season's U.S. Open Cup. For fans of @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social, this means that we'd enter in the first round (March 18-20) against an amateur team. This would be days after the team's season opener at FC Naples.

Standout Goalkeeper, Wallis Lapsley, has signed with FMFC for 2025! 🧤 🐂 New York Red Bulls II 🌅 FC Tucson 🚢 Tacoma Defiance 🦉 Union Omaha 📰 Learn all about Lapsley's career highlights here: www.forwardmadisonfc.com/news/2025/01...

Watching the beef starting between Madison and Omaha in LOVB just feels so right
