Yogi Oliff helped define what it means to be a WashU Bear through his commitment to growth, his competitiveness, and the way he showed up for his teammates every day.
Thank you for everything you brought to our program, Yogi. We can’t wait to see what’s next!

Last season I made fun of WashU for scheduling the @IWUBasketball game at 2pm on a Thursday.
Unfortunately this season I need to make fun of my alma mater for scheduling the WashU game at 2pm on a Friday.

Prediction: the @WashUSoccerW program that won back-to-back national championships will be even better in 2026-2027. #d3soccer

A reminder next time you pass by Dunker Hall. @WashU #MemorialDay
Dunker Hall was named for Charles Dunker Jr, a @WashUAlumni and Captain of the 340th Field Artillery division in WWI who was killed in a battle in Thiaucourt-Regnieville, France.
Dunker ran track for @WashU_XCTF and was a writer and editor in chief of @studlife. #MemorialDay

Random fan perspective:
Few things are better than watching college sports, regardless of the level.
Find a college basketball, football or soccer program that is close to home, accessible, and attend as many games as you can.
In-person is always better.
Every single time I post “Embrace D3” a bunch of random people come into my replies and project their own context onto it lol

Sixteen women and men etched their names into history as 2026 Richard A. Rasmussen UAA Hall of Fame honorees. This year’s class marks just the second full class in the Hall of Fame, which began on June 4, 2024, with then retiring UAA Executive Director Dick Rasmussen selected as the namesake and the lone inductee.
To be eligible as a student-athlete, a person must have earned their undergraduate degree from a UAA institution, competed for at least three years in the UAA, and graduated at least 10 years ago. Coaches and administrators become eligible once they have retired from a UAA institution.

My bracket ranks No. 62,934 in the NCAA.com Bracket Challenge.
If Michigan wins, I'll finish in the 99% percentile...
If UConn wins, I'll lose the office pool to a colleague who picked the Huskies because it was her favorite mascot. #MarchMadness

After 20 years following @WashUBasketball, my only regret is not going to the exhibition against Illinois.
Bears played the Illini close despite being called for a season high 32 fouls. Final score 82-75.

John Andrzejek has stepped down as @GoCamelsMBB head coach, and has accepted the associate head coach position at the University of Louisville.
A national search for Campbell’s next head coach will begin immediately.
