You love to see it

Trying to think of how many big life events have happened since the MLS playoffs didn’t include the Sounders. For me, it’s a lot. Fun thought exercise. I’m sure a lot of Seattle area sports fans have done something similar the past few days.

What. A. Game. #MLSCup

If this is the beginning of the end for Twitter, I feel obliged to apologize to those I’ve done wrong by on this app. Deepest apologies, Lamar Neagle.

Pleasant surprise in the mail on this fine Apple Cup week from The Daily of the University of Washington. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I was working on those and handing them out to tailgaters. Even crazier to see the Battle Royale we launched still going strong. Great work, The Daily Sports team!

The World Cup is such a perfect sporting event.

I've got a bad case of the World Cup bug. Are there any soccer podcasts y'all have been leaning on to get you through the time in between game action?

Timely episode for anyone tuned into Sounders Twitter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how…

New column on Seattle University legend Pete Fewing, who stepped down as men’s soccer coach after 29 glittering years Seattle soccer royalty Pete Fewing steps aside from program he built from humble beginnings into champions | The Seattle Times seattletimes.com/sports/seattle…

A high-school buddy ruined the surprise of this result for me, and clearly I still haven't forgiven him (or myself for not being up at 2am on a school day to watch it live).

Let’s go, @OLReign!
