Off-season current hobby. 3d printing bird skulls. Not my models. Two ravens and a peregrine falcon. Currently on the printer a great blue heron skull.

I will pretend to be patient while I await these assessments. It's going to be a wackier postseason than normal this year.

Texoma FC will be self-relegating to USL League Two, while leaving the door open for a future return or partnership with pro soccer projects in North Texas.

All 2025 players become free agents.

This is not something I enjoy reporting on.

I'm so surprised by this news. What are the odds that a stadium would end up costing the city more? 98-100% is my guess.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today, and every day, we stand with supporters groups across the NWSL to say - loud and clear: Trans People Belong.

In the stands, on the pitch, in our communities - everywhere.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated.

No exceptions. ❤️🖤

#TransPeopleBelong

NWSL Supporter Groups

As NWSL supporters associations representing thousands of fans across the country, we invite the NWSL and its fans to join us in taking a vocal and visible stand in support of the transgender community and against all gender-based harassment.

Women's soccer exists because society refused to accept exclusion. Our game was built through generations of struggle-for gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial justice. Efforts to exclude trans athletes are fueled by the same forces of misogyny and bigotry that have long tried to dictate who belongs. These efforts undermine the spirit of women's sports and harm all athletes by reinforcing narrow, discriminatory ideas about gender.

From the field to the stands, the LGBTQ+ community has always been a vital and visible part of the NWSL, and for many of us, women's sport is a safe haven—a place where we have found community and belonging while being our full selves.

Come to an NWSL game, and you will see not just athleticism and competition, but joy and togetherness. Our league, where queer and trans kids can see themselves reflected on the field and in the stands, is proof that welcoming everyone makes us all safer.

Now, as the trans community faces escalating attacks driven by harmful legislation and damaging public rhetoric, we must continue that fight by standing firmly and vocally, together, for inclusion in sports. It is on all of us to ensure that every match, every event, and every space under the league's banner remains safe, inclusive, and free from hate-for everyone.

Silence is not neutrality. Speaking out matters. Showing your support for trans athletes, and trans people, matters. Let's work together to ensure women's soccer continues to be a space of inclusion, safety, and joy for all.
