I realize you only started following hockey a few seasons ago, and I completely accept that it is perfectly natural for you to feel the need to convince everyone what a die-hard you are. But lately you're laying it on a little thick. Even for you. Just thought you should know.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

I give him a pass, not just because he is a Blackhawks fan, but because hockey really is pretty awesome. I am a relative hockey newb as well, and I must say that once the sport grabs you, it pulls you in deep.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostDyslexics are teople poo...Comment

Sorry but my hockey roots run much deeper than the past few seasons. I lived through the Bill Wirtz era. I even own a copy of and have read Career Misconduct. I experienced the Chris Chelios trade.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post

It is a toss up between the NHL and MLB. Frankly, I have over the years started to find the NFL to be increasingly boring.Originally posted by Flystripper View Post

Totally agree. A game almost every day of the week. The NFL and NBA no longer interest me. So it's College Football and MLB. Maybe I'll check out the NHL.Originally posted by mpfunk View Post“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”

Damned religious bigots.
UW's next opponent: Brigham YoungThe move from the Mountain West to one of seven Football Bowl Subdivision independents was not made without a bit of trepidation.
"I was concerned a lot," Mendenhall said. "But we were in the Mountain West and we weren't getting seen. So basically what it came down to is that any other conference that was considering us wanted us to make concessions on Sunday play, which we wouldn't do, or had issues with our sponsoring institution, the church.
"So we really only saw one other avenue to increased exposure and building our national reputation by playing tougher teams on bigger stages in front of more people.
"So we went into uncharted waters. It is certainly safer to be in a league. However, there wasn't a great matchup and people weren't clamoring to take us as we were."Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Pac-12 gains ground in conference rankings
The SEC continues to lead ESPN Stats & Info’s Conference Power Rankings by a wide margin, while the Pac-12 remains a strong second.
The Conference Power Rankings are a formula that equally weighs the rankings from the AP Poll and ESPN’s new Football Power Index(FPI) in order to determine the best and worst conferences in the country.
The Pac-12, despite Oregon's loss, picked up ground on the SEC this week, gaining 1.9 points compared to 0.2 for the SEC, which lead the Pac-12 by 10 points.
The third-place Big 12 lost four points and is now 12 points behind the Pac-12.
This might be of interest to Pac-12 fans: The metrics favor the Pac-12, the humans the SEC:
The SEC has seven teams ranked in the top 25 of the AP poll, including four teams ranked in the AP top 10. No other conference has more than four total teams ranked in the AP top 25.
In comparison, the Pac-12 leads all conferences with seven teams in the top 25 of the FPI. The SEC is second with six teams, but only one of those teams – Alabama – ranks in the top 8. The Pac-12 has four teams in the top 8.
It is important to note that the SEC has two more teams than the Pac-12, which makes the Pac-12’s lead in the FPI even more impressive.
There's been some snarky things said about Stanford's loss at Utah, but most of that has been based on ignorance, folks not understanding that the Utes are a good team playing a ridiculously difficult schedule.
As ESPN Stats & Info notes:
So the next time you hear someone dismiss Stanford for its loss at Utah, tell them to educate themselves.The Pac-12 actually has the most depth at the top of its conference. When Stanford loses to a team like Utah, who has played the hardest schedule thus far according to ESPN strength of schedule rankings, it may not be as much of an upset as many would expect.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

PAC-12 basketball preview -- good read. Unfortunately it seems that the word Utah does not appear anywhere in this 3600+ word article about the PAC-12. Sorry Ute fans.
