This season was different from years past as the Patriots took on the obstacle of competing in the Mid-South Conference (MSC) Western Division for the first time but Continue reading

In another one of those wonderful reality checks for Division 1 sports programs who think they’re still on top of the world despite all the evidence to the contrary the Michigan Wolverines just got rejected AGAIN by a former “Michigan Man”, in this case Les Miles. The Mad Hatter decided to pass on the opportunity to chew grass in the Big House 8 times a year and stayed at LSU. My comedy piece from last week about Michigan’s insane and outdated Schembechleresque obsession with finding a Michigan Man prompting them to bring Ex-President Gerald R Ford back from the dead to coach their team is even more relevant so here’s the link to it: https://glitternight.com/2011/01/08/pres-gerald-ford-returns-from-the-dead-to-coach-the-michigan-wolverines/

I updated my Vietnamese Myth page once again. This time I expanded my entry on the sun goddess, added another chapter to the saga of the god Thach Sanh and placed an all-new entry- this time on Cong San, the god of northern Vietnam’s Red River. Here is the link: https://glitternight.com/vietnamese-myth/

Time for a look at the Top 11 teams so far in Division 3 hockey. Since I like being an oddball I’m doing 11 teams instead of the more traditional Top 10. For newbies to college hockey let me point out there is no Division 2 hockey for me to cover. There are so comparatively few colleges that still sponsor hockey that schools that are considered D2 in other sports are all lumped into Division 1 when it comes to hockey. The North Dakota Fighting Sioux used to be the best example of that but since they are now in D1 for all sports I’ll use the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs to demonstrate the point. They’re D2 in football, basketball, etc but are D1 for hockey. And yes, all of this means that hockey has a Division 1 and a Division 3 but no Division 2. Just throw it in there with the way the Big Ten Conference now has 12 teams and the Big 12 Conference now has 10 teams and move on. Think of it as the New Math, or something.
1. OSWEGO STATE LAKERS – Record: 15-2-0 No matter what the level and no matter what sport it seems there’s a team or two called the Lakers who really kick butt. Oswego State is on a 3-game winning streak right now with yesterday’s 3-0 win over the Curry Colonels. The Lakers don’t take the ice again until January 21st when they travel to Buffalo to take on the Buffalo State Bengals. The next stop on their road trip will be the very next day when they “Hail, Continue reading
