THE "ALTER-NATIVE" TO A SUNDAY AFTERNOON NAP

🏒 EHRNFELT TOURNAMENT - GAME 3 🏒

Look, it’s January 18th. The golf clubs are gathering dust in the garage, the sky is the color of a wet sidewalk, and we’ve reached the "I forgot what the sun looks like" stage of the Ohio winter. You need a reason to feel alive. You need the WFE Tournament, Game 3.

Enter: The Archbishop Alter Knights.

These guys are stomping through this tournament like they’re the main characters in a Disney sports movie. They’re coming in hot, and their jerseys are... let's call them highly functional. That specific shade of "High-Intensity Safety Mustard" is a statement. It’s the kind of yellow that screams, "I’m here to guide you through a highway construction zone," but today, they’re just providing a bright, easy-to-track backdrop for a Mustangs comeback.

It’s hard to lose track of an opponent who looks like a fleet of school buses in a hurry. 🚌💨

But here’s the deeper irony: The Knights. Their entire medieval identity is built on the back of a horse. Without us, they’re just guys in heavy metal suits walking very slowly toward a destination, probably complaining about a lack of WD-40. A knight without a horse is basically medieval cosplay with joint problems.

So today, the Mustangs—the literal foundation of knighthood—face off against the guys who owe their entire career path to our species. In an ALTER-native reality, they might be intimidating. But in this timeline? Knights without horses are just pedestrians.

PLAYER FEATURE: ALEX "BACON" THOMPSON (#23)

If you haven’t watched sophomore Alex Thompson yet, you’re missing the most reliable part of our roster. Alex is pure bacon.

Think about it: Bacon doesn't demand the spotlight or have an ego. It just shows up and suddenly the entire meal is five stars. Alex is new to the roster this year and fit in immediately. No drama. No "finding himself." He just showed up, got to work, and made everything around him better.

Alex is low drama, high impact—the secret ingredient that makes every line he’s on sizzle. Need a forecheck? Alex. Need a defensive stop? Alex. Need someone who won’t overthink it and will just play solid, lunch-pail hockey? That’s #23. He’s the cure for a bland Sunday.

Watch him today—he’s about to make this tournament taste better.
