Used to talking to myself about hockey for three hours at a time. Not the guy that managed the New York Giants or related to that singer.

This put a smile on my face this morning. #ColgateHockey ‘08 graduate. ‘Moose’ was a senior my first year in the radio booth.
"Honestly, it was a great experience all around.”
#SJSharks EBUG Justin 'Moose' Kowalkoski lived his dream tonight, and shared it with many friends and family who bought tickets at the last moment. Read what he said postgame on Sharks Hockey Digest.

Can’t agree with these enough. But I admit I didn’t eat my first piece of pecan pie until last year.
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Never can be too prepared. Colgate hosts RPI in @ecachockey.bsky.social men’s hockey action tonight at 7:00pm on ESPN Unlimited. Penultimate home game of the first half. Hopefully I’ll capture the spirit of the thing.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Another #ColgateHockey note for tonight as @ecachockey.bsky.social begins for the Raiders.
Colgate has gone a combined 26-14-4 in league play under Mike Harder. That includes a pair of 13-7-2 ledgers.
Also, the last time Colgate entered ECAC play at 2–5-1, Colgate ended the year as the ECAC champ

#ColgateHockey hits the road tonight to take on Dartmouth.
Twenty-six of the last 31 meetings between the Raiders and Big Green have been decided by two goals or less. This goes back to the Austin Smith era at Colgate.
More recently, seven of the last 13 have needed OT. Gate 3-1-3 in those.
