Success With Hyperlinking Is Keeping An Eye On Hockey

PrintKeepin' tabs. In terms of recruiting, football steals the lion's share of the words around here, but why not take a second and see how Penn State's hockey commits are doing in juniors. Listen to this to get the full effect.
Continue shuffling. Once Missouri gets their act together and leaves for the SEC, the Big 12 is set to replace them with West Virginia. Don't know about you, but I'm pumped to see the Mountaineers plays in Lubbock.
Synergy! A whole handful of interesting reads from our benevolent overlords at SBN this week. The Alphabetical, The Numerical, Market Adjustments, Hot Seat Watch, and a 100% guaranteed-to-be-accurate look at which teams will end the season undefeated.
Turning to the police blotter. The mercurial Cliff Harris was pulled over in Eugene on Monday, and was dinged for driving on a suspended license, driving without insurance, and not wearing his seat belt. Seeing how he can't get behind the wheel of a car without getting in some sort of trouble, he's been suspended indefinitely.
Ohio State's Jaamal Berry is a suspect in one of the more bizarre incidents I've ever heard. According to a police report, Berry and a friend witnessed someone get hit by a car, taunted the victim, and then crossed the street and punched him in the face. Berry was also involved in another bewildering incident last month. Something seems amiss here.
Watch this and try not to get misty eyed. Eric LeGrand is amazing. If I were in his position, I highly doubt I'd be 1% as positive as he is. Get better, young man.

If you get hit by a car in this day and age you deserve to get punched in the face!
But when I got back, the place I made the purchase no longer exists.

If you have this much misguided hate of Bielema
who, by the way, has lost the last two games against Penn State by a combined score of 86-14, then I can’t imagine what you thought of Rich Rodriguez.

The fact that Bielema looks like Rob Riggle with a bad haircut doesn't help
Or maybe it does. One is a seriously unfunny comedian, the other a football coach who can’t, you know, coach.

And breaking right now
WVU —> Big 12 may not happen because they might take Louisville instead. I don’t understand why the Big 12 doesn’t just take both of them and Cincinnati and just finish the Big East off in one move.
Instead of North and South
the B12 can split into the Country and Redneck divisions.

Ohio State is one bizarre/ridiculous event after another.
But clearly there is not a systemic issue.
I don't think Gene Smith or Gordon Gee's leadership
Is making Jaamal Berry act like, quite literally, an insane person.
But Gene Smith's & E. Gordon's 'leadership'
Has allowed an environment comfortable enough for an insane Jaamal Berry to:
a. Join their college football team
b. Get himself in sports blog news by so doing
Otherwise, his behavior would only be on the local news and, as such, ignored by most of us.
Hey, got time for a geek-type thread jack?
This ‘Lantern’ article reminded me…Last two times I’ve had movie time sans wifey, I’ve rented X-men First Class & Thor and really enjoyed them both. I watched the trailer for Green Lantern but it didn’t suck me in enough to trump either of those and now it’s up against Transformers 3, for my next wife-free geekflick. Have you, or others, seen either of those last two? Would love an experienced take ;)
I have seen the two you liked
but not the others. Transformers is in my queue, but I still haven’t seen #2—I have heard that the third one is way, way better.
Green Lantern just doesn’t look good to me. Ryan Reynolds should’ve done a Deadpool movie instead, IMO.
Have you seen Captain America yet? It was pretty awesome too.
Fire Dan Snyder
Oh, forgot that one
Will queue it up as well.
And, hey, thanks. I come to you for help in trimming my decision-making pool, and you add to it ;)
Took the ten-year old and his buddies to
Transformers 3 when it first came out. Then he had a sleep over last week and they watched it on DVD. If you’ve seen the first two you know what you’re getting – lot’s more of the same. 2+ hours of non-stop suspension of reality. Everybody loved it.

I don't care what Ryan Reynolds is in
as long as I can watch him, preferably without a shirt on…

you didn't put any of the X-Men movies on there
I pretty much agree with your assessment, though I would have put Spidey 2 where you did but Spiderman 1 below Captain America.
and for X Men, I think I would put X-Men 2 right behind Dark Knight, with First Class ahead of Spidey 2, the original X Men ahead of Thor, Wolverine just behind Thor, and lump X3 in with the crap. Though I do love Elektra (girl crush on Jennifer Garner)
Fire Dan Snyder
Knew I forgot something
I’d put First Class before the Spidermans, XMen 2 (despite my absolute love of Nightcrawler) after Captain America, Xmen 1 behind Iron man 2, and Xmen 3 with Spiderman3/etc.
And really Wolverine? That movie absolutely ruined Deadpool. I wanted to punch a baby after watching it.

which is why I'm hoping that First Class is a reboot
cause that movie was, in my opinion, the best X-men movie to date. I’d like to see them continue with this line of film than go back to the “Wolverine and friends” one. Either keep them set back in the 60’s or have them jump from time period to time period, getting a snapshot of the different Xmen teams as they change and develop.

In the linked hockey article
and also in the Daily Collegian article linked from there, the team is being referred to as the Icers for next season, when they will begin Div 1 Varsity play. Wouldn’t they be the Nittany Lions at that point?
Yes, they would
Consider it a bit of force of habit. Now that we’re into the swing of the season, we are used to calling this team the Icers for all things going on. Sometimes it’s hard to shut that off. Also, it doesn’t help that it won’t be a completely different team next year, since a large chunk of this team will still be on the team next year.
Just figure that, for this season, anyone writing about the ice hockey will continue to call them the Icers for all things. We’ll start calling them Nittany Lions once the season is over.

Growing up in CT until I was 16 there were just a few things I always looked forward to. 1. The start of Red Sox spring training 2. The first snowfall/snowmaking in Vermont and 3. Hartford Whalers Hockey and the Adams Division. That clip just brought back tons of memories from my childhood. LONG LIVE THE WHALE!!

I found this part of that article curious
The victim’s mother, who requested anonymity, said she spoke with Gene Smith, OSU athletic director, about the incident on Friday afternoon.
Oh to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting. What the hell is the victim’s mother doing contacting the AD? After the police have already been involved? Some (totally irresponsible, since we’re talking about brutus) guesses:
- Yes, my son was punched in the face with a closed fist (sic) not even 10hrs ago, but listen, Mr. Smith, I’m an Ohio State fan and the program has suffered enough. I’d be willing to drop these charges (/covers phone; STANLEY, SHUT UP; I’LL DEAL WITH YOU WHEN I’M FINISHED HERE), if you can assure me the young man will be dealt with responsibly. Oh, and if you can throw in a few autographed jerseys, please.
- Now you listen here, Geno my boy. My son has suffered lacerations of the face because of some violence that one of your precious buckeyes perpetrated. Your thugs have messed with the wrong woman’s son this time. Don’t think for a second that I won’t go straight to the Lantern with photographic evidence of that July 4th party at Kooma last year if this is not dealt with aggressively and immediately. What’s that? Yes, two tix and a round of golf with you and the missus would be immediately enough for me, thank you.
