My wife [VA Tech Alum, big fan and whatnot] asked about the possibility of grabbing tickets the other day. Me [Bonaventure grad, could not possibly care about anything less than I do college football, with the possible exception of hoping something terrible happens to Penn State every week] after having a quick glance at the ol' StubHub:

Sabres get first dibs if Seattle waives him.

I call shenanigans.

Italy-Spain Semifinal happening right now. Calling it: Winner here takes it all. Oooooohhh, Italy off the post already. Tasty.

Sir, you are an accountant. Put down your stones before your glass house sustains damage...

Wait for it…

YMMV, but nowhere near as insufferable as the English… I mean, different sports let alone leagues.

Not gonna lie, 24 teams is too many. The almost complete lack of jeopardy in the group stages, fun games notwithstanding, has been a bummer. it should go back to 16, so we can talk about good teams being eliminated in qualifying, then the group stage, and so on.

This isn’t what I asked for at all… boo.

Here’s hoping the Czechs stomp England and Scotland can get a win on Tuesday. Not particularly confident of either, but hey, one never knows…

Having a step-kid going through it right now, dunno how UofM works specifically. Some schools won’t let you into pre-med until you’ve taken certain requisite courses, applied and interviewed, then accepted into the program. Might be it. Might also be nonsense, who can say?

Not for nothing, but the team can obviously finish DFL with a much lower payroll. Makes solid business sense.

I’m not being snarky, I feel like it was actually Steve Ott… that can’t be right, but I can’t think of another one…

Ooh, found one.

Because this is the Sabres under the Pegula regime, I’m gonna go ahead and put a sneaky five bucks on either Scotty Bowman making a surprise return behind the bench, or Painbot 5000 from Teen Titans. Wait, how are there no Painbot 5000 gifs on the internet? I’m so tired…

Not to be that guy (no, that’s a lie, I’m rolling around in the opportunity to be that guy right now) but Italy as an idea, let alone a country really doesn’t have much of a history at all… Lincoln was president when it happened… the “I’m not Italian I’m Sicilian” mindset is, honestly, much closer to reality than lumping them together with the blond dudes in the Alps….

Igne natura renovatur integra.

Ehhhhhh….. you’re not getting more lightning to go in that bottle. Hasek was an off-the-charts anomaly, the team in front of him was, for the most part, hot garbage made to look better than it was in the standings by the inexplicable exploits of the greatest goalie ever at his absolute prime. I wouldn’t say no to a competent goalie, mind you…

Going to go ahead and post something worthwhile in this thread, for a change. Robert Smith gave an interview in the late 80’s in which he stated that the only band who could ever hang with the Cure drink for drink at the bar was Bananarama. Make of that what you will.
