Quote from: ER on November 15, 2025, 08:23:33 PMOur broadcast is terrible. I have my tv volume maxed out and can barely hear the announcers

This is especially DANGEROUS if one is listening with earbuds.  If one cranks the volume up to hear the broadcast the commercials are so loud they can hurt you.

Why would I watch my TV with headphones? Minute the commercials and turn it down when it's over. Now I just have cc on

I watch and listen when sitting in Houston Field House in Troy.  The Ithaca game is always more compelling.

My god this is sad.

It's on a layer of ice with a thin layer over top
Each time the Zamboni cuts the ice it shaves some off

Casey mentioned he had recommendation to thin the ice compared to last year. I think it's too thin.

He mentioned the wet ice at the beginning of periods last year and something else that I can't recall.

Why would you thin the ice?  To make it harder / faster?

Because the ice was so thick that it was wet after resurfacing at the beginning of many periods last year.   The thicker it is the longer it takes to harden.

I think that's why it looks crappy too.  I think they went too far.

I think there is a setting on the earbud apps to protect against spikes -- an aural surge protector.  Now, have I ever bothered to actually figure it out and use it?

Mine on Android warns me.  To hear the game well if any noise is present I'm in the potential danger zone according to that.  I don't do IOS except as emergency tech support.

Quote from: stereax on November 15, 2025, 03:53:03 PMAlso, whoever is complaining about the ice - it looks AWFUL rn.
Yeah.

I am wondering if the look is due to the decision to make it thinner this year.

Quote from: chimpfood on November 14, 2025, 12:42:31 PMAlso a lot of larger schools just won't schedule basketball games against mid majors that they think they might lose against, hell we've seen it ourselves over the past couple of years.

The Yale coach was complaining about that in a preseason article.
The University of New Haven just went DI in all sports and they hosted Penn State in their campus gym, which seats less than 1,000. The Penn State coach was willing to come there to help promote their program, but in return, UNH has to play at Penn State the next three years and won't receive any money for coming.

Honestly not a terrible deal?

Terrible for Yale?

Quote from: BearLover on November 14, 2025, 06:01:43 PMThe small roster is baffling. It's not like we had any surprising departures in the offseason.

Perhaps Doug needs some advice.  I wish I knew someone I could recommend. 

He could talk to Casey down the hall (roster size of 31).

Q.E.D.

I should have also mentioned that a lot of the time I'm trolling but somehow taken seriously.

Quote from: Dafatone on November 08, 2025, 06:28:23 PMSomewhere in all the yelling Adam pointed out that the heavier home/road weighting helps incentivize big teams to play small teams on the road sometimes rather than just say, "we're [insert traditional powerhouse], you gotta come to us if you want to play us."

That's a good enough reason for me to be okay with it.

But I'm thinking this should only be used during inter-league play. I guess the powers wouldn't consider a different multiplier during league matchups.

RPI with their second win of the season stuns Clarkson who was relying on their backup goalie. 5-1.

Claimed he liked the puck drop but I think he liked playing with the chairs and watching the Zambonis.

As long as the insane aren't allowed to choose the beer I'm fine with this.
