Why I Wasn't a Fan of This Year's Winter Classic
For a couple months leading up to this year's edition of the Winter Classic I was fairly opinionated about the fact that I just wanted it to be over already. "But why? It's a huge spectacle! It's good for the game! It brings in the casual fans! Don't you get it?" Well dense, condescending twitter...
The "Not Going to Surprise Anyone" Fallacy
If you, like me, have been watching any of the NHL preview shows on NHL Network, TSN, Espn (Do they even show hockey?) and reading season previews from any hockey sites around the interwebs then you know one very important thing about the Coyotes. Is it that they have an outstanding goaltender in...
Cincinnati 47, UConn 45: I am officially losing it
Good night, world! I'll be in here if you need me. UNC was the worst loss ever. Then Pitt was the worst choke ever. Then West Virginia was the most devastating loss ever. Then Rutgers was the most painful, devastating, worst loss...
State of the program: Did Coach Cal make the right decision?

ARGH! Luke Scott 4, Tigers 1
Why? Why do the Detroit Tigers continue to let Luke Scott beat them? How many home runs does the guy have to hit against their pitching before they change how they approach him? (Apparently, the number is at least seven, which is how many homers Scott has hit versus Detroit pitching the last...
Hype, Posters, QBs and Links
The Hokie hype machine is spinning its wheels again. Annette thinks the Hokies are the front runner in the ACC and she is now joined by Giggity from ACC Now. Yesterday was a bit of a surprise when he named NC State the favorite in the Atlantic. It was less of a surprise that he named the defending...
Hokie Players Possibly Promoted Parties (Sorry, had to. It was there.)
Kudos to the Collegiate Times for scooping everyone on the story about Virginia Tech players' likenesses being used to promote parties in the 757. As a former campus rag reporter, I like it when the students dig up something the big boys don't. Now that that's out of the way, onto the story...
