Senators get third straight win with 5-2 victory over Oilers
The Senators earned their third straight win tonight over the Oilers, but I use the term "earned" loosely. The Senators only had 16 shots on goal, but made the most of their chances by burying 5 of those shots. Things looked grim to start the game, as the Oilers came out with far more energy than...
Playing 'Loose'? Does It Exist?
"They're playing with no pressure", "they have nothing to lose", we've heard them all as explanations for the Islanders resurgence after a first half that was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Statements like this are pretty difficult to quantify. While the aforementioned quotes may have...
82-69: Win Over South Carolina State Likely High Point For Hawkeyes' Entire Season
We don't normally assign homework 'round these parts--there'd be more than a sliver of hypocrisy in it all--but we do want our readers to take notes on what's going on with the basketball team. Just know that when this season's said and done and we've all wept, gnashed our teeth, and slammed our...
On This Date in Georgia Bulldogs History
Today, November 3, is an important date here in Bulldog Nation, as it marks the anniversary of two momentous events in the history of the Georgia football program and a third occurrence which, while lacking the importance of the former two, nevertheless has some small measure of significance in...
A Welcome College Football Comeback: The Restoration of the T Formation
This posting is a few days out of date, but I have been busy being contrary (and, to hear some people tell it, also running onstage at Britney Spears concerts), so I’m only just now getting to it. Recently, War Eagle Atlanta listed several things that should make a comeback in college football,...
Who Are You And What Have You Done With Ryan Theriot? - Cubs 4, Giants 2
He hits! He fields! He steals bases! Whoever this guy is who has stolen Ryan Theriot's #2 uniform and has been playing shortstop for the Cubs since Friday, let's keep him around, shall we? Theriot matched his career high for a season in home runs by smacking his third of the year (and third in...
"Win Series": Cubs vs. Reds, Wednesday 4/22, 7:05 CT
So far in 2009, the Cubs have played four series prior to the current one. They have won three of them and split the other. Do this all year and you're looking at a 95-win season; win today and you've already won the current set with the Reds. Lou has preached this for a couple of years and I...
Stats You Can Win a Bet With
I'm going to come clean up front here: I was initially going to title this "Things the Titans have never done", but I started doing the research, and found out that, while technically the Titans have never done these things, their franchise has, and actually did it quite well in the early...
Almost Famous: Cubs 6, Astros 1
Sitting in my house still in the afterglow of last night's magnificent performance, I watched Ted Lilly pile up no-hit innings and thought, "This really would top everything, if he could go back-to-back with Z." Lilly couldn't -- he kept it briefly when a hard smash of A-Ram's glove was ruled an...
Walk On By: Cubs 3, Phillies 2
They did it again. Each day, new heroes, new ways to win; I stare in amazement, as the atmosphere at Wrigley Field gets more and more playoff-like; today, Alfonso Soriano's 7th-inning homer off Clay Condrey gave the Cubs a 3-2 win over the Phillies, their seventh win in a row, but it was...
