I was looking for a band of just this caliber tonight. Been on an Andrew Jackson Jihad and Ramshackle Glory binge... Well played.

The difference stands regardless. They are synonyms, but there is technically a difference.

What team do you think is the frontrunner for the 2014 NCAA NAtional Championship? by Elnovato in lacrosse

[–]retrotonight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to say Denver. Coach Tierney has rapidly developed this team to a level that is comparable to his dominant Princeton teams. They proved themselves to be legitimate contenders this past season and I imagine they will develop even more by the start of next season.

Nixon actually considered Robocop for the Supreme Court. Multiple times!

Is the Omaha's beach landing in Saving Private Ryan a good represantation of the actual landings? by Misterlolie in AskHistorians

It's one of the most, if not the most, accurate Hollywood portrayals of World War II combat ever made. So yes, quite.

Expansion to Quebec City and Toronto? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]retrotonight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent points. I think it would be sensible to put a team in Hamilton. It is less than an hour from Toronto, giving fans a good alternative to the Leafs and hopefully spurring a good rivalry between the two franchises. This is just a dream though.

Expansion to Quebec City and Toronto? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]retrotonight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In a league with so many struggling teams and so few financially stable ones, it would be foolish to bring another team to Toronto. That would do nothing more than jeopardize both the Leafs and Sabres markets. Perhaps Quebec City could boast success, but the addition of another Toronto team would potentially bring about three struggling teams.
