    OT: It’s Official, Professional Hockey (ECHL) is Coming Back to Trenton

    Used to go to Titans games-met Dave "The Hammer" Schultz and Bernie Parent during pre-game events. The ECHL works well in the right markets. My oldest lives walking distance to the Cincinnati Cyclones arena and those games are consistently packed. If Trenton runs promotions like $3 beer night...

    Cignetti’s formula won’t last

    My son is a freshman at IU, so I watched almost every game this year. When they played Illinois they sacked Altmyer 9 times. When Cignetti was asked why they were so successful with pressure, he responded "We saw some stuff on film from the Duke game and knew we could get to him." Same thing...

    Rutgers Ohio State Prediction Thread

    RU has a chance to keep this one competitive if AK is on-however Greg-coached teams have been notoriously bad in these spots. OSU only beat Purdue (a team RU is better than in almost every area) 34-10. If it's much worse than that there needs to be a lot of consideration given to Schiano's...

    OT: RIP Larry Brooks

    Glad to hear he and Torts mended fences-some great exchanges between the 2 over the years. Brooksie was one of the greats.

    OFFICIAL Rutgers Illini Prediction Thread

    Illinois' D is bad, and if you can get pressure on Altmyer he folds. If the D can show up in any capacity this is a 50/50 game.

    Podcast Purdue / Rutgers preview with Tom Dienhart of Gold and Black

    He was-I have never seen a program take such a nosedive in such a short period of time. For all his defensive prowess, they could not (and would not) adjust when they were giving up huge play after huge play. Also, Ryan Browne played out of his mind vs Illinois last year (OT loss), but the...

    OT: RIP Ace Frehley

    I was a huge KISS fan as a kid and wore out Alive II on vinyl. My favorite song from that album was introduced like this: "We got a little surprise for you tonight! We're gonna turn the microphone over to Ace Frehley! Shock Me!" Ace would rip into that intro which Buck Cherry used later in...

    Parking for Purdue?

    When I was there for 12 noon kickoffs it was a mix of bars and tailgates. Students and some alums hit Neon Cactus (huge piano bar and a lot of fun) and Harry's Chocolate Shop (Purdue's original bar). Harry's will definitely have a line to get in as it is smaller and closer to campus. There will...

    Parking for Purdue?

    My son was there at the end of the Brohm era so they were pretty good his junior and senior years (Aidan O'Connell, Charlie Jones, George Karlaftis). The games were always packed and a lot of fun.
