Jim Hyla Beeeej Jim Hyla Beeeej Had to keep reminding myself how inexpensive it is these days in order to avoid screaming. I don’t remember anyone remarking about not having to pay for separate games of the playoffs. Factor that in and the cost really gets cheap. Since it's a monthly package of all of ESPN+'s programming, I didn't think it warranted specific remarks, but I'll certainly aby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Bracketology 2019 - 5 years ago
djk26 Beeeej You mean sort of like including in the headline "...if NCAA tournament started today" and including in the text "Bracketology assumes that the season has ended and there are no more games to be played..."? Yeah, it really sucks that Jayson doesn't do anything like that. Terribly misleading to the vast majority of people. All true, but it's somewhat undercut byby Beeeej - Hockey

That particular game appears to have changed nothing, but sure things continue to evolve. I wouldn't call these things predictions.

Re: Quarterfinals roll call - 5 years ago
We likely can't make any playoffs this year until/unless the Frozen Four, with the slight possibility of making it to a regional if the timing and geography works out. But our seats in Section C are filled for this weekend.by Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Morgan Barron Profile - 5 years ago
Trotsky nshapiro Jim Hyla upprdeck yeah i thought he had a 2 way deal with a small bonus. he is making 70K this yr in salary Yes thanks. This idea that college players going pro earn millions has to be properly understood. The vast majority are 2 way and even then the signing bonus may be the only guaranteed monies. Sometimes they do have a few years guaranteed as well. I know that Willcox reby Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Admissions Fraud - 5 years ago
RichH Chris '03 Yikes. This apparently implicates at least one Yale coach (women's soccer) and many others in a scheme to fake entrance exam results. More details about the Yale coach from the Hartford Courant: Longtime Yale coach Rudy Meredith, who resigned in November, is accused of accepting a $400,000 check from the family of a Yale applicant he ensured would be admitted to the univby Beeeej - Other Sports

upprdeck i get some of the convenience. but often i dont have access to a printer that works and really dont like having to drag a cell phone around. I like tickets, it makes me feel like i am getting and going to something.. paper tickets an QR codes just dont feel the same.

Re: Bracketology 2019 - 5 years ago
Trotsky Jim HylaI don't mind playing ASU, but does it have to be in Fargo?"I have some good news and some bad news." As the #12, playing #8 instead of #5 seems like a gift, except of course that #8 getting to play #12 instead of #9 also seems like a gift. Either way, you then (probably) have to get through #1 for a spot in the Frozen Four. But of course as soon as last night's BC @by Beeeej - Hockey
Re: Bracketology 2019 - 5 years ago
adamw Jim Hyla ugarte Jim Hyla You say, and let me say that I totally believe you when you say it, that "those remarks are never aimed at you, by the way, or fans in general." But criticizing the subject is indirectly criticizing the people who enjoy it. It's entirely up to you how to react to learning that someone thinks something you like is silly.

Re: Bracketology 2019 - 5 years ago
Once again we're rooting against Providence tonight; the unlikely event of #37 Boston College defeating #9 Providence would drop PC to #13 and kick us up a notch to #11. ...which as you know is still totally on THE BUBBLEtm, because non-zero unlikely catastrophic doom blah blah blah.by Beeeej - Hockey

Jim Hyla Beeeej dbilmes Yale coach Allain not happy with punishment given to Priskie. "I think our league made a huge mistake with its judgment on this one. It should have been much more severe.” I agree with Coach Allain; I've also never seen(?) a guy kick someone. Nor here. Did you read the article?by Beeeej - Hockey

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
upprdeck having a say in getting it done and trying to figure out a way to get it done are 2 different things very few things our athletic dept does make much sense. So, you... want them to try to figure out a way to get it done without having a say in getting it done? Okay.by Beeeej - Other Sports
