Re-Tooled Tormenta gears up for new season

-

I posted on Twitter and Bluesky a link to my Tormenta article in the Statesboro Herald. If, for some reason, you missed those and came here hoping for something, well, can I interest you in a link for that story?

They pay me s I'm not going to repost the article here. But don't worry. I'm working on something for here for early next week.

Happy Valentine's Day League One

Happy Valentines Day Tormenta fans. We're 24 days away from the start of the 2024 regular season. One preseason game behind us, two more this weekend in Huntsville and then back home for a few more preseason games before we get to watch games that count. With it being Valentines Day, I decided to reach out to people around the league and asked them one question. "Why do you love League One?" I asked that they keep their responses to one or two sentences but didn't have a problem if people wanted to write longer. A huge thank you to everyone that took the time to respond back and to give of their time. Bryan from Omaha ( League One The Rocks )  ( @mediocre_ace )   I l ove League One for the sense of community. Some of the bigger leagues focus more on the bottom line than the fan experience. League One isn’t like that. You can tell the owners and league really care about the fans. League One also has the best content creators in the world. Riccardo Cominelli ( Linners ...

A little bit of this. A little bit of that.

I thought about going with a Michelle Branch photo here to really drive home the title, but maybe it's just me that has that song stuck in my head today. So this is when I would usually run my monthly Power Rankings, but the USL had their midseason media availability with the presidents of USL League One and USL Championship and it would be a disservice to you, my readers, if I didn't bring you the key discussion points from that press conference.  (Wait, you'd rather have power rankings? But... but I already wrote up a recap of the press conference. There are quotes and everything. Sorry. Also, this won't be the only time I apologize in this post.) Before we get to what they did talk about, here are some topics that they avoided because I can only assume they were trying to downplay their importance and didn't want the media spotlight on such pressing issues. There was no discussion of why Spokane Velocity remains the only USL1 team to have its full name used on th...

Minotaurs, ships, and the transient nature of sports

It's a soccer post, I promise.  The dude killed a minotaur. We should talk about that and nothing else. He straight up killed a minotaur and yet, somehow, that's not the thing we talk about when we talk about him.  And guess what? That's not the part that I'm going to talk about either. But I wanted to state, up front, before we go any further, that the dude slayed a minotaur and that fact should not go unremarked upon. It has now been remarked upon, so we can continue. But seriously. Do you know what it takes to kill a minotaur? Add in the fact the minotaur was kept in a labyrinth prison so that even if you do kill it, you may not be able to get back out without dying yourself. Some say he used a sword to defeat the minotaur. Others say he used brute force after he lost his sword in battle and defeated it with his bare hands. Either way, he did it. Ok, ok, yes, Theseus defeated the beast on the island of Crete with the help of King Minos' daughter Ariadne (who  had...
