Made a brief appearance off the retired list to write about how @pdxwinterhawks veterans Josh Mori and Ryder Thompson helped Portland into the #WHLChampionship series vs. @MJWARRIORS https://t.co/NQ792kf3kF
I probably wasn't the only @49ers fan who thought about a certain 1972 onside kick at the end. Quite a turnaround. Still not sure what I witnessed today. #FTTB
@dwightjaynes A true hockey legend in these parts. Always enjoyed chatting with Connie about those Buckaroos teams and the days when the (pro) WHL was not far below the NHL in hockey talent.
Is this the most meaningless bowl game in #GoDucks football history? Certainly feels like it. Will be interesting to see how many Ducks opt out, and how Lanning and staff motivate players. How many fans travel to a 10 a.m. (PST) game against Liberty? Challenging sell, IMHO.
Remember, this is NOT a college football playoff. This IS the ESPN College Football Invitational. There's no way ESPN was going to let FSU without a QB into the field. Sad. Wrong. But not at all surprising.
This week, we kicked off the Huston Sports Construction Project with a groundbreaking ceremony! Over the next five months, the baseball and softball fields will be replaced with state-of-the-art turf playing fields, new backstops, fences and signage. @LCPioneers @LCPiosBB
Reason for optimism? The last time I recall covering a Timbers match on a holiday was Thanksgiving Day 2021, a 1-0 Portland playoff win at Colorado. Of course, these 2 teams don't look anything like playoff contenders (@ColoradoRapids winless at home in 2023).
No Evander for #RCTID Tuesday match at Colorado (calf, not severe but not available according to Gio). Blanco has joined the team and could feature at some point tomorrow.
Recapping a rough day for Portland fans: #RCTID gets blitzed at Minnesota https://t.co/rB3XyW1417 AND #BAONPDX gets blanked at home https://t.co/qEn82Kpd35
Just a bad 1st half on pretty much every front from this @TimbersFC squad. It was actually not good from #MNUFC except for a couple of moments. Ivacic 2 great saves has some blame on both goals. Does Gio make 4 or 5 subs at half with a game on Tuesday at Colorado? #RCTID
The @TimbersFC will be without Evander at @MNUFC. He was suspended one game (and fined) for hands to the face of NYCFC's Matias Pellegrini. The rule on hands to the face is straightforward and the MLS Disciplinary committee decision was unanimous. #RCTID
Congrats to @pdxwinterhawks D-men Luca Cagnoni (4th round-San Jose) and Carter Sotheran (5th round-Philly), who were drafted on Thursday as the #2023NHLDraft concluded.
