    Worry not, Snively - lots more so-called "toxic masculinity" to follow in the coming weeks!!

    In the meantime … a little bit of foreshadowing of things to come ...

        Need to view on a larger screen to determine if that is Guy Lefleur at the 8:40 mark, eh?

        Still have their first three albums in vinyl, I think; but really glad that Aaron Copland allowed them to include Fanfare in their Works Volume 1, my favorite.

        R.I.P., Keith and Greg.

          Bingo. Yes, Bruce Jenner, 1976 Men's Decathlon gold medalist (during his first 15 minutes of fame).

          Huge fan of Works Volume One (but much less so of Works Volume Two). Don't forget Snively, Emerson got the OK to use Copland's "Hoedown" on the Trilogy album, in which KE may well have set the world's land speed record for keyboard dexterity. Back in the day, they used to open their shows with that piece, which was a great way (as KE would often explain) to "warm up" for the rest of the "show that never ends". Here's a link, with Emerson in vintage "Tarkus" armadillo gear.

            I was not around Durham much from 1972 to 1981; were any ELP tunes part of UNH pre-game music at Snively? I remember Santana tracks.

            Meanwhile, is UNH football coming down the ladder to join hockey in the doldrums, while UNH women's soccer is apparently starting off the season on an upswing?

                  Don't remember any ELP tracks "back in the day", Snively. And if there were any, I'd definitely remember.

                  Coach McDonnell has earned the right to have a few bad games, here and there. He's usually gotten the better of the UMaine rivalry during his tenure, and I'm sure he will use this past weekend's drubbing in the opener to get his guys' attention. Let's see how they respond in the coming weeks before we hit the panic button. It's hardly the first time he's lost a season opener.

                    Oh, I agree; football has been king at UNH the past decade, along with renovated stadium and the librarian's $1 mil scoreboard and all, and UNH had beaten Maine eight straight seasons before this past weekend, I think.

                    But, it was the UNH women's soccer team that grabbed my attention, with their first win over a PAC-8 team, if I heard that correctly?

                          2. 2 weeks prior to the first game, coaches ran the practices and the "season" had officially begun. A reason I thought exhibition games were so important. Short touches and no real game situations.
                          It his tweet, Mike shows what looks like MS diagramming on a whiteboard for the team?
                          So...have I missed something all these years?

                            Date of first allowed official practice with coaches is complicated, as determined by counting units based on the first day of classes and the first scheduled game, and more. Definitely too complex to determine for my small brain. See NCAA Rule 17.02.13.

                              WOW Snively!
                              I don't have a clue, and I guess I now don't care. It appears to be a choice that comes with the passing of years. Someone will (hopefully) come along and tell us what it says/means.

                                I don't recall on ice practices, with coaches, this early unless they were "captains practices" as you mention.

                                It seems like everything has gotten much more complicated these days as Sively65 point out!
