If PHI catches anyone it'll probably be PIT. Why? PHI is three point backs of PIT with one game in hand and they play head-to-head three more times this season. Yes, the current standings show the 7-8-9 as PIT-DET-PHI right now, but the logistics say if PHI knocks one out it's more likely PIT. https://www.nhl.com/standings

You're assuming the offenders give a rip about anyone but themselves. Being an offender of team rules (state law?) already points otherwise. If a coach punished me for another's violations that other person had better be ready when I come for my ounce of flesh.

I'm not big on punishing non-offenders. I ain't payin' the speeding ticket of a co-worker driving a company vehicle.

Tape measure. He's under six feet tall.

Personally, I think it was interesting when the four seniors ... and LaDue ... started Senior Night. In poker that's a tell: LaDue is gone. I'm hoping that: - Ausmus realizes he still needs to work on his speed and offensive game - Poolman wants to play one season with his brother - Stecher understands a defenseman under six feet tall will have real issues trying to reach the NHL - Thompson faces reality that he looks worse this year than last (yeah, I said it) My guess at the order of departure risk: LaDue, Stecher, Poolman, Ausmus, Thompson.

And now, hidden camera footage from a recent NCAA meeting ...

You're right. That cartoon is dated 2015. At that point in time it was legitimate. So what we have instead of a "what the" cartoon is more "what the" editorial work at the Fargo Forum.

Seems you understand it well enough that maybe you should apply to write similar "rules" for the NCAA. Maybe you could start with something like you have to quit using a trademark but have to retain the trademark which means you have to keep using the trademark. More to your point, the attendance rule is in my opinion hypocritical by the NCAA. The NCAA is supposed to be all about student-athlete opportunities. If the institution can afford 85 scholarships for FB (plus the extras for Title IX) who cares about the number of fans in the stands? By requiring N number of fans you're saying fans are more important than student-athlete opportunities.

Food for thought: 15000 per game * $75 season (5 game) ticket package no wait, 1/3 price ... 15000 per game * $25 season (5 game) ticket package = $375,000.

Don't you hate it when someone actually quotes the source documents?

What exactly is the point of this guy's "political" cartoon from Sun Mar 6? http://www.inforum.com/opinion/cartoons/3979872-steve-stark-cartoon-030616 Did he miss the memo and that the selection process is over? Or ... is he doing what all the local media seems to be doing (looking at you Ms. A. Burleson) and finding stories to keep trying re-open what is a closed matter.

We know the #16 PWR slot is poison; it is gone to the AHA tournament champion. I'm going on record now saying expect the #15 PWR slot to be poison also. Why? I only see MTU from the WCHA in the PWR top 16. Odds are someone other than MTU wins that autobid (think: Purple Cows or BSU Beavers). If you're sitting at #17 PWR right now, you legitimately need to jump three PWR (to #14) slots to be safe. That's a tall order unless you're playing (and winning) games against team higher than you in RPI/PWR. Now imagine all that plus #18 PWR Penn State winning the B1G autobid. I'd argue that #14 PWR just turned poison.

20.9.9.3 Football-Attendance Requirements. [FBS] Once every two years on a rolling basis, the institution shall average at least 15,000 in actual or paid attendance for all home football games. Key words above are "paid attendance". Why? 20.9.9.3.1.2 Paid Attendance. [FBS] For purposes of computing paid attendance figures, tickets must be sold for at least one-third of the highest regular established ticket price as established prior to the season, regardless of whether they are used for admission. Thus was the birth of the "Eastern Michigan Solution": EMU bought enough tickets at 1/3 price to ensure they met the 15k rule every other year. What money did they do that with? Why, money that was earmarked for football already. They just "laundered" it one extra step. Instead of "donation -> FB" it became "donation -> buy tickets -> football".

Apparently you have little experience in politics, and that's all the NCAA is. You'll get a media-ready, political answer whether they are looking at it a lot, a little, or none.

There are no easy NCAA playoff games.

You're off by a year, friend. Mr. George's issue was in 2015. And they didn't hide it too well considering it took me all of 20 seconds to find a public record of the incident.

I have to agree: SME did a solid job for Northern Arizona. The NAU "axe logo / letters mark" is simple, clean, easily identified, and works on many different things. http://www.smebranding.com/nau.html

God made some perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair. Happy now?

You're bragging about winning "best hair" at the bald man's convention?

"Conspiracy Theory" ... Nicely played. But no conspiracy, just a built in mascot!

OK, I know what's worst for Michigan in the PWR (a loss to a bad OSU squad). What's the worst outcome for the rest of the B1G from this game, ... say ... for example ... Minnesota.

So, Michigan didn't really score.

Only because it was uncovered internally, before the outsiders attorneys showed up.

The pink feather boa ... Too late to be the "fighting Jesse Venturas"?
