    Serves them right for laying down for Uncle Sam.

    Interesting history of 8-enders.

      In 2022, go Norway. They're cuter, and 3 or 4 of them may even be straight.

      What in the F?

        Apparently Kepler wants USA hockey and USA curling to lose? Maybe he's a closet Canadian?

          This team has changed quite a bit. We'll see how much soon. The round robin match against Sweden was not pretty.
          the state of hockey is good

            Or there's a joke in there that I'm missing the context of.


            Or maybe he just prefers cute hockey teams comprised solely of players that are into men.

                Kepler doesn't care who wins curling. The US is just as acceptable as Iceland or Wakanda or whoever.

                Kepler wants Cornellians to win gold medals. The Canadian women's hockey team had five Cornellians. The Canadian men's hockey team has one although I doubt he's going to see another minute of playing time.

                I'm OK rooting for American athletes as long as NBC is on mute and they aren't competing against Norway, Czechia, Slovakia, or Italy, by Rule 3*.

                      I'd like to take you with me for a swim in the Plaid Sea at the Corner Pub in my patriotic, white-picket-fence, farming town some evening, preferably one when the Packers are playing.

                        Yeah... I would never place alumni over country.


                        It seems... treasonous.


                        I know people follow athletes from their college of fandom post departure, but I've never really cared.

                        I wish em the best, but unless they're on my team, I don't pull for them simply coz they went to Wisconsin.


                        And I certainly don't root for the hottest women's teams.

                        There are probably better places to look for beautiful women than on hockey teams.

                          Doesn't sound like Cornell was that place though.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            Agreed. That is some really idiotic logic.

                            I root for the US first, and if the US can't win, I cheer for Sweden and Norway, since that is my ancestry. Always cheer against Russia, China and Canada. Pretty indifferent about the rest.

                              As a rule*, Cornell is not the place to look for beautiful women. Pretty girls don't have to study hard -- people will give them stuff anyway, and there's always USC if they want paper.

                              * This is of course a general statement and does not include any Cornell women you or I know, all of who are of course spectacularly lovely as well as brave and powerful. Brilliant is a given.

                                Maybe at Cornell, the women's hockey team was as good as it got? But they were probably lesbians anyway, right Kep?
