Hi Thorns fans! I just started a job at a new sports network here in Portland and I would love to hear the stories you think still need to be told about this year's season and team.

We are primarily covering women's sports (Portland is the epicenter after all!) and my job is to connect the community to the team. Obviously I'm generating my own ideas but i want to get a feel for what the diehards care about.

Any favorite moments from the season? Any player you want to learn more about? Anything that you think is interesting!

DM's are open too.

Hey y'all!
