The Ralph Baer hat trick!

Bonus points if you get one of Shirley's bodyguards to treat you like a bowling pin.

Bonus points if one of Shirley's bodyguards throw you up against the paywall.

We interrupt another Ralph Baer hat trick with this breaking story...

Today's Times Union features a page one story (but it is below the fold...):
Jackson yields on student union hire; Students praise president's change of plans

The link: http://timesunion.com/tuplus-local/a...re-7380082.php

The story is behind their TUplus paywall... if my link is unsuccessful and you have a subscription maybe you can help...

I was able to see it on the SaveOurUnion Facebook group... it sounds more like they haven't yielded anything. They had difficulty finding a loophole in the student union's Constitution, so they're just going right back to what they were doing before, but like it says in there, they're still going to try to find one. They say they'll "involve" student representatives, but it's just adding them to a list of people to be considered for quorum, the same of which they used to suspend posters a while back; that's how they got around not involving the GM, who has a vote in a decision like that. Nothing is actually changing.

They still will not get a penny from me until all board officers, and a majority of the board trustees, have resigned.

I don't know if you were being serious, but that is Brett Larson (a UMD AC) who tweeted as a joke.

While perusing for information for the schedules thread, I came across this little chestnut: http://www.troyrecord.com/sports/201...edule-released

Ralph, you're going to need to update the countdown.

Don't we have a game at BC? Also, I thought the UND game was the Hockey Hall of Fame game...Troy Record reporting strikes again?

It's the exempt game sponsored by the US Hockey Hall of Fame... but it hasn't been played there for at least the last few years it's been done.

Perhaps the BC deal fell through and it happens the next year.

Thanks. I just did that. Of course it is Ed Weaver who thinks we are playing Clarkson in Lake Place and Maine in Oreno.
