What a great moment this is! I'm extremely joyful to have found this interview on VHS tape, buried in a box. It reveals very personal views of grandpa and his buddy, Arnie Oliver in the late 1980s, talking about the 1930 FIFA World Cup! The original NSHOF did a great job preserving their thoughts.

We love all of our episodes of AN AMERICAN GAME equally, but as a couple old members of the Goalkeepers' Union 🧤🧤"Lone Eagles" is a personal one. We do a deep dive on the one position where we've produced world class talent... for 140 years!

Old soccer logos from 1999. Both have fun uses of the necessary 90s soccer ball. I like the Lehigh Valley Steam one more than I probably should. I absolutely adore the Long Island Rough Riders one. They should 100% bring it back (even if only a secondary logo).

This chapter needs to be 7000-7500 words, including all endnotes in CMS. I'm currently at 6669 words. Might try to belt out a couple more concluding paragraphs and call it good for now until I get some feedback from others in the department next week.

Not impressed at all with the USA. Korea looks quicker and more on the ball on attack. It certainly doesn't hurt that the crowd is behind the visiting side #USAvKOR #USMNT

I waited until Week 3 to introduce Trouillot to my 441 students (History of Sport in American Society)... but in the upcoming week we get to talk about the Cooperstown myth, so I figured it was about time to bring in his discourse on commemoration from Chapter 4 of Silencing the Past.

I hadn't seen this photo yet from my State of the Story performance back in March. It's a good reminder of how much fun I have when I get to stand at a microphone in front of an audience. And a good reminder as we approach a new academic year to think about how I use my time in the classroom...

A photo of Zach Bigalke, with his hair pulled back, glasses on his face, and a bushy white beard capped by a brown mustache. Zach is on the stage at 3 Dots Downtown in State College, Pennsylvania, performing at State of the Story on March 24, 2025. Zach is wearing a maroon sweater, tan carpenter pants, and Adidas Sambas while standing behind a microphone.

I'm an American soccer fan, which means I've spent a lot of my life having to explain (even prove!) my love for the game to people who think the US has no soccer history. So, with an old friend and teammate--now an eminent historian of US soccer--I've made a series that shows it's our game, too.
