Right now (1/10/06, 7 pm PST) - at least in CA. Don't know if they shift the times or not... Churella beating Easter right now.
Robb - thanks for the notice, caught the second half of the broadcast, though I was lucky to see this as I don't check the Spencer Forum that often.
Question for all: Should there be some general guidelines as to what should be [OT] on the Hockey forum - perhaps other Cornell sports? In this case, it would have given others interested in Cornell wrestling a better chance to notice that it was on TV.

Good question. Big difference between Cornell wrestling and John Spencer.
I like seeing "[OT] insert Cornell sport here" on the main forum. I doubt I'd have ever paid much attention to Cornell wrestling or lacrosse if it weren't mentioned here on a regular basis - or at least I wouldn't have been as knowledgeable about it. Relegating it to this forum does it a disservice.
I don't like seeing "[OT] professional hockey that has nothing to do with alumni" on the so-called hockey forum, mostly because I don't have any interest in it, and don't know or follow any players.
Anything that's obviously as off-topic as John Spencer belongs in this forum.
Sigh... I thought I was doing the right thing. So many rules!
I was debating OT in the main vs on-topic here, and went with the latter. Mea cupla.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find many people who think non-Cornell hockey, or Cornell non-hockey sports, are so far OT that you shouldn't post them in the main forum. Mark 'em "OT," maybe, but main forum. At least that's MHO.
Beeeej
Then maybe we could get Age to rename that forum to "Anything about any sport with Cornell or hockey in the title." ::nut::
See, this is why I didn't want to start adding arbitrary fora.
[Q]See, this is why I didn't want to start adding arbitrary fora.[/Q]
And why I still don't think you should have for the one post in 10,000 that's actually very OT.
There's been more discussion in the last two weeks about which post should go where then there ever was before about OT posts being inappropriate.
But I'm sure you couldn't resist showing me up :-P ;-)
Did you notice, by the way, all the lines in this week's "West Wing" that seemed oddly prescient given Spencer's recent death?

I don't think anyone meant their responses as knocks on your posting this thread here, Robb. Some of us just feel there's more than a little difference in degree of "off-topicness" between John Spencer and Cornell lacrosse/wrestling/football--despite what Professor Whalen might have expressed in ugarte's thread over in the hockey forum.

No. Sorry. I just don't think threads on Cornell sports belong in a Forum titled "John Spencer is Dead."
