    I am optimistic about the future.

    What about "FTW" backwards?! :sneaky: ;)

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    I don't think he will, but I agree 100%. I think Athletics should create visible, fan-friendly "Rings of Honor" in all our stadiums and arenas. Along with that, rather than retiring any numbers, make certain numbers honorary in the sense that players need to earn them on a yearly basis. e.g...

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    I don't know what the recruiting situation is for the team, but this post-season should only help tremendously. We lose some solid leaders and big talent in Janecke and DeSa and others, and have some solid players returning. I'm looking forward to seeing and reading about the incoming class...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    Thanks, Tom. I did think about that briefly, but figured (apparently incorrectly) that the placement points would take care of rewarding the Championship side. I appreciate the explanation. I didn't understand what the I Love Lucy gif was trying to me, so this helps! ;)

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    Does anyone know why they don't use the regular-season team points per match (3, 4, 5, 6) in tournaments? I didn't do the math, but the scoring differences are relatively close enough that I don't think it skews the standings or the come-from-behind chances by very much. Every year with every...

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    OT at 3-3. We are on par with the best programs in the country now. Well, probably a notch below Ohio State, but we are in the national conversation regardless of this outcome. By far the best women's college hockey game I've ever attended. Ever seen, really. The crowd is like a men's crowd. PSU...

    3-2 Badgers after 2 periods. SOG 28-11 them. Usually takes about 6 or 7 games for us to give up 3 goals. Fast, physical game. Different style and pace than our usual. But, we are hanging in and are very much in it.

    Yep, about 2 and a half minutes after our goal. Very fast pace.

    Ohio State dominating Northeastern, 4-0, late 2nd. It was 4-0 after 1.

    For anyone interested in how PSU has performed vs. the 3 other Frozen Four teams: We did not play Wisconsin this season. We played 2 games at Northeastern in late November. At the time, we were #4 and they were #7. We split the 2 games on their ice, a 3-2 loss and a 4-1 win. We played at...

    RIP Lou Holtz - 89

    ND 1981 thru 1992 (the Snow Bowl). Bama 1981-1990. Nebraska 1979-1983 (Kickoff Classic). 2 wins, 3 losses in that series.

    RIP Lou Holtz - 89

    Actually, 12 year series with ND. (8 wins, 4 losses, iirc). 10 year series with Bama. (4 wins, 6 losses).

    Survey: Most hated college football teams.

    I cheer for the weaselrines to lose every game in every sport, and for all their intramural games to end in scoreless ties. So, I guess the weaselrines are #1 on my list. :sneaky: ;)

    Rage Alert To Board Purists

    I certainly prefer these throwback brown pants to anything pink and black. Hockey has worn these throwbacks three times this season, I think. I really liked the other throwback alternates they wore for the outdoor game. (someone else who knows what they are doing can find and attach a photo)...
