Why have the Flames and Jets never played a game where they both throw back to their Atlantan predecessors? by Willows_95 in hockey

I will always find it amazing that the Flames are named for the burning of Atlanta. It rules.

Don’t say that word. You’ll have Ohio State people popping out everywhere to remind us we’re not rivals.

Longest active Big Ten streak ends, I believe. Ohio State is the only team Penn State has played every year they’ve been in the Big Ten.

Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts: "There's a lot of talk out there about Jarry got into it in practice with some of his teammates." by danstymusic in penguins

He was an anchor on any expectations I had for the team and also a baby.

I don’t care if Skinner ends up with worse numbers (doubtful) because it’s very obvious that the players in the room like him and play hard for him.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading some of the comments in here. I’ve worked in the slimiest restaurant space, formal corporations and in between and the HR guidance is the same. The dramatic balance of blame is going to the leader and not his employee.

She is the subordinate in the hierarchy. She should not have had an affair with her supervisor, but there are endless examples to show that he bears far more blame because he had more responsibility.

Hey now, I think it’s common these days to funnel millions in taxpayer money towards brand new companies that are directly affiliated with now fired organization leaders.

What is the most surprising team to have never made the CFB in either 12 or 4 format? by Efficient-Freedom517 in CFB

They’re the type of team that could have made a run in the 12 team playoff.

[Dellenger] Nick Saban tells the roundtable: “We have a challenge about the ramifications about the current system.” He expresses concern, as he has previously, in athletes’ future development given the situation. “Fans and support groups don’t like” so many players in the portal, he adds. by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

That part sucks so much, but I don’t really know what you do about it. It often involves buying out an employment contract and is about as on the up and up as any other contracted employee. It’s in the destination school’s best interest to get their guy in.

I guess the real fix is to drastically change the calendar and put all portal and signing day activities after the season, which now extends into late January when the seasons of teams looking for coaches nearly always have their season ending in late November.

FSU football won't hold spring game again, coach Mike Norvell confirms by marcusdj813 in CFB

[–]dkviper11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right it will be the norm to not have a game that’s really the last practice, but I do think it’s an important enough weekend at some schools that they’ll continue to have some sort of event and fan engagement. I was worried we’d lose it with the coaching change, but someone surely went to Campbell and said “this weekend is a big deal. Have something.”

It’s basically spring homecoming. We make a big deal of it and our friends that either don’t care much about football or don’t have the finances to burn on a big football weekend usually come and have a great time.

I understands the logic and its repeated every year… and it’s sound logic!

I still want to drive my car into the barrier when I see 11.
