I saw that today...it's uhm...interesting...I wonder if we can use fake emails...so they can't tell who's making REALLY stupid words lmao


On another note, had my first broomball game tonight, a loss (4-3), we were up 3-0, then we got a stupid illegal substitution call (anybody else notice the orange sub lines are closer to the ends of the rink this year? Last year they were from the penalty box -> 3 boards down...now they're 1 board down from the penalty box...w/e), I had 1 or 2 assists, depends on how many the captain gave me...

So our first game is done, and what does our captain have to do? File a formal complaint against a ref tomorrow...already...after one game...

Instead of a long paragraph, I will just list the problems:
At least a dozen high sticks...went uncalled...1 got called
Half a dozen kick passes...none called
And the major one, playing with a broken stick...
A player took a shot, broke the head on the broom, pretty much snapped it at a 90 degree angle...lots of bristles showing...he's yelling at his team to see if anyone has a spare stick...(since they had no subs)...meanwhile our captain is yelling at the refs about his broken stick...they don't say anything...so play continues, and he keeps using it until their next goalie ball...at which they call a timeout and then he switches brooms...now our captain is pretty much irate...yelling at the refs if they're going to call something...and the ref calmly looks at him and says, "I never saw him play with it after he broke it...and if you keep yelling, I'm throwing you out." -Guess it turned into a long paragraph anyway

The rule for a broken stick is, if it breaks you drop it...immediately...it doesn't matter if you can play with it or not, you drop it...

So after the game, our captain walked up to the time ref and asked for all ref's id numbers. So hopefully after a formal complaint something will be done with this horrible officiating.

As the Down Goes Brown blog proves, humor is sometimes the only way you can get through a rough sports year. So...


13 Signs That the Hockey Huskies Have Packed it in for the Season

13. Captaincy back up for grabs; will be offered to the first player who manages to sleep with the only "Tech 11" on campus.

12. The skating treadmill is up for sale.

11. Phone records indicate Jamie Russell put in a call to Jimmy John's HQ last week, possibly inquiring into franchising opportunities.

10. After Dieter Kochan's police job goes full-time, MTU replaces him with new student volunteer goaltending coach Brandon Maurisak.

9. Water bottles are now filled with an entertaining mixture of 5-Hour Energy and the DT's Long Islands.

8. Since the beginning of January, "practice" has consisted of playing NHL '10 matches against one another, and submitting highlights to Russell to try and repair his shattered confidence.

7. Post-game team meetings are held in the style of Survivor - players sit around the sauna rocks, make overly-dramatic accusatory remarks, and anonymously vote to cut one guy from the team.

6. Coaches are now invited to team parties, since they're going to be fired anyway.

5. Players have already begun annual ritual of signing up as an USCHO newbie and taking turns trolling other fanbases on the boards.

4. Working on getting the Marquette Rangers to drive up and play an intra-squad exhibition at the MacInnes as part of a new crossover promotion - "Come watch Tanner Kero play before he starts missing wide open nets next fall!"

3. Women's basketball t-shirts are the new prize for winning intermission games and contests.

2. Flush with cash and in the spirit of dry humor, the local Domino's has temporarily changed their offer for the Mankato series to, "10% off for each goal the Huskies allow, up to five goals."

1. Announcement that due to the current economic conditions and declining revenues, newly-appointed AD Jim Balsille will be relocating the program to Hamilton, Ontario.
