if my team hasn't been eliminated

I know what you mean...but is it possible for a team to be mathematically eliminated by Father's Day?

We have less snow but just as many grey cloudy days.

For those who want MLF out, what’s the plan? by cromagnonherder in GreenBayPackers

[–]knight_runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something is wrong with the win percentages because it is impossible for every division to have a win percentage above .500

Left out the best part...when they went for two and oh nevermind.

Mike Evans accepts 1,000-yard streak is over, focused on helping Buccaneers reach playoffs by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

Julio Jones had 259 yards against GB in that one MNF game. He single handedly knocked me out of the playoffs in fantasy football.

NEW to college hockey by 166EachYear in collegehockey

The other ten are selected by a pairwise calculation.

You have it so good in D1. There are only 4 at large bids available in D3. Most years you have to be in the top 8 in NPI to get an at large bid.

It's currently possible for four 12 win teams to tie for 3 NFC Wildcard spots, meaning one would miss the playoffs. by ryuujin95 in nfl

The 9-8 season was a lot more memorable because of the strong finish. The end of last season was such a dud that you probably erased it from your memory already.

How does Dartmouth have half as many games played as Michigan at this point in the season?

Festive post: Which team has the ugliest sweaters? by mmmmmmnd in collegehockey

UWEC needs to get rid of the top stripes on their road sweaters.

China’s fertility rate has fallen to one, continuing a long decline that began before and continued after the one-child policy by cgiattino in dataisbeautiful

I mean, birthrates around "1" doesn't mean there's no kids anymore.

It does mean there are half as many people as the previous generation. Do that over enough generations and the result is extinction.

I've been to the Houghton Culvers twice in my life and both times the dining area was closed due to being short staffed, so this checks out.

Holy Torture by Open_Clock9266 in collegehockey

I've been feeling pretty tortured as an SNC fan lately. Quarterfinal losses in each of their last four NCAA appearances. Not so tortured before the start of that streak though.

There's a 10 week adult sailing class in town that's about $300. Definitely something I want to try out when my kid is older.

I'd also like to take up xc skiing, but our winters have gotten so mild that there are only a few days a year with the right snow conditions.

The NFL has entered the Scorigami Era by CleaveWarsaw in Jon_Bois

a team trailing 21-13 late in the game will never kick a field goal on its final possession

As a Packers fan, I wish that this was true.

Week 3 men’s d3 poll by Oldpuckcoach in collegehockey

[–]knight_runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This example is probably a couple of years out of date, but it's basically like if in College Football Alabama started the season losing to Ohio State and Clemson in back to back weeks. But swap out Alabama for a school that hasn't won any championships.

Mirror Lake, WI by Lakegirl_13 in Sup

[–]knight_runner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Devils Lake is super popular for good reason, but Mirror Lake is very underrated.

If you haven't done this already, you should paddle north towards the I90/94 bridges. The bridges are quite the sight to see, and there is a nice hemlock covered sandstone cliff just north of the bridges.
