you don't have to respond every time but if you do, so will i! the only one-note being played is "everything is too woke!"

None of this is about being woke, but as a man with only a hammer go to it, lad.  You can't lose.

you're the one talking about "feewings"!

My mistake.  You have a hammer and a shovel.

Word is that with 2.8 seconds left in the 2nd period and down 1-0, Colgate pulled its goalie with a faceoff in the Union zone. Union won the faceoff and a shot down the ice hit the Colgate net with 0.3 seconds left, leaving Union up 2-0 after 2.

importantly, we must stamp our feet whenever anyone indicates an interest in moving past an ethnic team name because anyone who cares more than me is a scold. at the same time, anyone who cares less than me is a bigot. also, brands are stupid, except for THIS brand, which i don't care about except that i've decided to adopt a principle that means i care about it A LOT.

Having punished myself by reading their FAQ, it seems like the objection is not that it's an ethnic name, but that somebody other than them made it up, which sort of fits in with the idea that this is an opportunity for a branding exercise, which universities love so much.  Of course, the FAQ itself mentions wokeness in an attempt to generate backlash to any backlash.  ("Isn't this just a bunch of woke liberals yada yada" = "Isn't anyone who thinks this isn't a good idea just complaining about woke liberals"; it's a bad-faith attempt to characterize opposition as bad-faith culture warriors.)

This is more attention than we should ever be paying to Union given we're past that one random four year stretch where they were ever relevant in anything.

The team better pay them attention tonight.  They beat RPI 6-0  in the non-league Mayor's Cup last Saturday.

Would someone mind reminding me? For conference tournaments and the ncaa tournament does it follow the same regular season way of 5 minutes of 3x3 OT then a shootout or is it 5x5 OT periods until there's a winner?
