You've got a good point: Don't post the final score for those who want to replay the game through the eLynah thread.

If I started a game thread, I put the running/final score in because it's news you can use. Before your posting.

Maybe the ideal would be no score (in the subject line) for a day or so after the game, then the thread originator goes back and changes it from "Cornell - Quinnipiac game thread" to something like "@Cornell 2 - Quinnipiac 1 (game thread 12/3/05)" - someone searching later in the season might want to recall the game date, or if the thread refers to the home or away game. This would help find it faster. For those Type-A's who care.

Thank you!!!

I will now edit my bookmarks accordingly. :-)

That sounds like a good compromise.

I agree with ugarte.

I remember years ago, settling in to watch the tape-delayed version of a Wimbledon only to have the person with the remote "quickly" flip over to SportsCenter "for a second" just in time to see them flash the final score. (Ironically, there was no commentary while the graphic was on screen, so presumably it immediately followed an announcer saying "If you don't want to know the result, look away now.")[/Q]
How about tuning in to your local CBS station at 6:58am for the 7:00 tape-delayed broadcast of the 1998 Olympic Women's Hockey Gold Medal Game, only to have the first thing you hear from the idiots on the local news be "...but stick around to see how they won the gold!"  Of course, the really stupid thing was that CBS was showing it tape-delayed in the first place, but did they really need to undermine their own coverage by giving away the results at the end of the newscast immediately preceding it?[/q]

I can trump that.  Had the same thing happen when I was watching the tape delay of the Miracle on Ice game in 1980. During the break between periods 2 & 3, local idiot newswoman announces US victory with details at 11.
