Merrimack has had a rough schedule the last month or so. Then again, I'm not sure how much of it is them or their opponents. Heading to Ithaca certainly doesn't help.

I should be lucky to visit Itacha someday soon so I can see the place where Cornell is 82-17-14 over the past seven years. Also, Cornell has a 82-17-14 home record over the past seven years.

That guy gets paid to write for a living? Seriously?

I think Itacha is the old Wampanoag spelling!?

Sounds as if the guy got fired from his job as a reporter and started this blog. The income must come from advertising, not Pulitzer Prizes.

Where do you get the idea that he was fired?

Here's the initial description about how the report got started.

QuoteThe Mack Report was founded in 2006 by Eagle Tribune Merrimack writer Mike McMahon as a blog, then titled Warrior Rink Rat, to provide coverage of the Warriors' Division I hockey program in conjunction with coverage provided in the newspaper.

Since then, it has evolved its own entity, and while still providing conjunction coverage with Mike's work in The Eagle Tribune, is a standalone news source covering Merrimack College athletics and Hockey East.

And then there's this bio of Mike.

QuoteMike McMahon – Managing Editor – Mike has been covering college hockey since the 2005-06 season, and has been covering Merrimack College for The Eagle Tribune since the 2006-07 season. Along with working for The Eagle Tribune, Mike is a senior writer at College Hockey News and has also covered the UFC for many print and online outlets.

The article had its journalistic problems, but let's not smear the guy.

I stand corrected.

I read the first paragraph you quote and mistakenly interpreted it as saying he went from being a reporter to writing a blog only. Had I taken the time to read on I would have learned he continues working as a reporter, as you point out.
