How would 8 teams make the regular season not matter? I don't get it. The only thing I would say is that it could make scheduling a good/decent team in the non-conference games a thing of the past. In a 4 team playoff Baylor DAMN near got in playing NOBODY in the n/c. To me, that's complete bullsh*t!

Double digit loss. Just cannot sack up Pisses me off the J. Bell 2 pt. play was overturned. Mr. Rocks in Glass Houses Chris Carter called for a Pack double digit win & was hoping they'd AT LEAST be able to shut him up!

I'm pulling for a tie between Carolina & Atlanta. Would be awesome for a "6" win team to be representing in the NFC playoffs along with 5 teams that have a minimum of 11 wins!

Was waiting for a S.O.L. moment. Philly hail Mary TD at the buzzer for the win! But alas, I guess it's NOT the SOL.

So does anyone have any luck going to the Joe without tickets and being able to score some decent seats for under face value, especially in the Lower bowl? Not talking about games vs. the Leafs, Hawks, Habs or other big rivals. Just amazes me to see so many empties in the lower bowl. I know those tickets are most likely sitting on some Corporate guys desk at work or dresser at home but damn, some of those must see the street for dumping!
If so, any tips on best location or time before puck drop to wheel & deal? Hate to make the drive down from Flint just to get stymied at the gate!

When was the last time an NFL team traded it's coach? Especially with only 1 year left on the contract. Coaches are fired in this league all the time, rarely are they traded. Besides Harbaugh and his agent have the power in his situation, not Frisco. "Chucky" was traded from Oakland to Tampa. Couldn't tell you the contract status at the time.
That's how Belechek ended up in New England too. He had agreed to be the Jets coach when Parcells retired, then reneged after the agreement. Parcells basically said U ain't going the N.E. unless the Pats pony up!

The real question is....in practice who outdoes who. Howard, or the shooters??

Shootout Point/Counterpoint. While I am onboard with dumping the shootout, most fans reasoning is shaky. While you criticize the league for settling the game in a "skills" competition (which I find valid) & using the other leagues as a comparative, I find it interesting that most WANT to continue the 4 on 4 for five minutes, then go to a 3 on 3 for some sort of extra time after that. Isn't this akin to the NFL going 7 on 7 during OT, or the NBA going Gus Macker 3 on 3? Something to chew on.
This is what I will say about the shootout. The excitement of a breakaway is breathtaking, and when the shootouts originally began that excitement came with it. Player picks up the puck at center ice gaining speed as he entered the zone & either fired away or went with the deke & attempted to flip it past the goaltender.
Todays shootouts look like this.....player picks up the puck at center ice, I run to the hot dog stand as the player sways from 1 side of the ice to other. I return to my seat with hot dog in hand as the shooter FINALLY reaches the area about 4 feet in front of the crease & proceeds to stick handle 3 more times before pirouetting & launching some sort of shot. Insert golf clap here for either shooter or goaltender. How about some sort of shot clock for the shooter?
NOW, if the Wings record in shootouts was flip flopped would we REALLY be bitching?

Paul Chryst is the new Wisconsin coach. Alvarez doesn't fuck around. Wisky getting their 'Wisconsin Man"! Born, raised, played & coached there! Can't get more "Bucky Badger" than that!

Right handed reliever Alex Wilson appears to be in the deal as well.

I watch most games on TV but the arena often looks half empty. Anybody know how they have actually been drawing this year? This is a fun team to watch and I have been wondering if people have actually been showing up I was at the Dallas game and people showed up for that game. I think the upper deck is usually going to be more filled in than the lower level seats because all the businesses grab those seats and then no one ever uses them. It's a bloody shame.
Was there too. Noticed same thing about the upper bowl.

I don't get that or how sparty dropped 3 spots and the other msu jumped them and went up 3 spots when neither played Cowbell State got more cred for losing to a Bama team that kicked butt in the SEC title game than MSU did for losing to a team that kicked butt in the B1G title game I guess?
