Roy 82 Grady with one tonight: "Psenicka firing with the penalty expiring". Doesn't use the player name in the rhyme, but still decent. Extra credit homework: What does rhyme with Psenicka? It's not reggae, it's ska.by nshapiro - Hockey

Re: Men's Basketball 22-23 - 1 year ago
chimpfood Nice win 80-73 over brown. Shots just weren’t falling in the first half and once that started going our way we took advantage. I don’t know how coach earl hasn’t made Ragland stop shooting threes by now, it’s getting egregious. I guess he must hit them in practice, and Earl hopes he can figure out how to do it in the games. Otherwise, no excuse.by nshapiro - Other Sports

Dafatone arugula I just will never understand PWR. You lose on the road to the number 6 team in that fashion and drop 5 spots. I had the crazy thought that we’d drop maybe one spot. Just nuts. It's pretty much just RPI. The key is to separate who you play and the results. Beat BU, lose to is the same for RPI as lose to BU, beat . So playing a tough team helps, but that's kind of just a stby nshapiro - Hockey

Beeeej nshapiro The left says 'Black lives matter'. If you reply 'All lives matter' you are pilloried for being insensitive to the injustices heaped upon people of color in this country. If someone says 'Antisemitism is a growing problem in America', the left sees nothing wrong with saying 'discrimination is a problem', not acknowledging that this is the same whitewash as 'all lives matter'.by nshapiro - John Spencer Is Dead

Dafatone Trotsky Dafatone Beeeej In case you were looking forward to watching the BU game on ESPN+ Saturday evening, please note that since it's actually scheduled for 4pm EST, it will probably be over by 7pm. (In other words, I'm glad I thought to check this morning.) Fine. Right in the middle of the Niners game. Be that way. Yes, I did pick all the best teams when I was five.

Re: Harvard @ Cornell, 12/2/2022 - 1 year ago
Dafatone Trotsky upprdeck not sure you can lose by 1/2 a game the way it works..You can if there are ties. You can without ties. If the Mets finish 100-61 with a rained out game and the Braves finish 101-61 plus have the tiebreaker over the Mets, they might not bother making up game 162. True. Mets won division in 1973 at 82-79, at the time the worst winning record ever. I don't know if it isby nshapiro - Hockey

Don't decide a team sport event with an individual skill contest. It's not just inelegant. It makes as much sense as deciding an MLB game with a homerun hitting contest.

Scersk '97 BearLover osorojo Currently 5 or 6 other D-1 hockey teams from universities with a fraction of the wealth of Harvard are more highly ranked than Harvard. This is no surprise, it's the norm. Suggesting the success of a college hockey program (see above) results from the wealth of a university is just silly.

BearLover osorojo A "tradition of excellence" sounds good, but how do these schools - many of them small and neither wealthy nor large, MAINTAIN this "tradition of excellence" in the face of other schools with many more students, much more money, and better facilities?
