Its not a big secret ECAC is a boring defensive league for the most part.

The top 4 or 5 teams in the ECAC don't play anything remotely close to trap hockey, and the only reason why the other 7 do is because they play in a conference with actual good teams so that's the only way they can hope to win since 2/3 of their conference doesn't give up 3.5 GPG Harvard scored loving 4 GPG last year. Quinnipiac and Yale have been two of the fastest teams in the country the last 4 years running and their rivalry games over that span are just as good if not better than any hockey the Big Ten has literally ever played Don't get all down on a conference you don't watch because you know in your heart that Penn State would be losing consistently to loving St. Lawrence and Princeton Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Aug 19, 2017 |

Not only has Big Ten hockey been unspeakably bad, but every fanbase (but Penn State) hates it for fundamental reasons unique to each school, problems that could not be fixed within the Big Ten. Also, not only does BTN not air all three (three!) hockey games on any given night, but they will always pick the matchup with the 4th and 6th place teams in the rink with zero fans there.

FuzzySkinner posted:e: as a whole? The national anthem at games is kinda silly in some aspects. I think about the only genuine feeling of patriotism I've ever gotten from such a ceremony was from the Indianapolis 500 where they seemed to be sincere in honoring those that had fallen. I don't know, the atmosphere at those first baseball games after 9 / 11 (all of that week's games were canceled, and play didn't resume until the following Monday) was pretty electric, especially in New York.

God Bless America sucks as a song. The only thing that sucks worse is the loving Lee Greenwood song. The continued non-use of America the Beautiful as a patriotic song is a travesty. The only sporting event I've ever been to that plays it is Notre Dame football home games where they play it as the flag is raised.

The Lee Greenwood song is not just the worst song in terms of patriotic song, but is the worst song among all songs

one of the many benefits of being Canadian is not having to listen to that dumb song during the 7th inning stretch. When I go to games in the USA I can't believe they do that. It's a garbage song and should be replaced with OK-BLUEJAYS-LETS PLAY BALL or other songs of the like.

Not that college hockey is popular but count me in as a person who says the Big 10 destroyed my love of it. The WCHA was quality. It hosed up some of minnesotas best rivalry games and it's too small a conference. gently caress the big 10. No one I know from Minnesota is happy about it and it's harder to watch the games too.

The Indians play Hang on Sloopy (the OSU not-fight song) after Take Me Out to the Ballgame before the bottom of the 7th. Browns, Cavs, and the Monsters all play it too at some point during their games. It's literally like a State Anthem, and I hate it.

Why would you do that? No one wanted it. No one cared. No one would have been angry if they didn't. It's some South Park-level "oops everything is offensive now are you happy, liberal snowflakes?"

ESPN noticed some low level announcer (after all he's calling UVA football) that people would make bad jokes and memes about on twitter and thought "hey, we don't want to be the butt of dumb jokes." They thought no one would notice if they just changed the game he was calling up. Would you notice if whoever was scheduled to call some Rice/UTEP game was changed over to a North Texas game weeks before it happened? ESPN didn't tell anyone, if they were grandstanding they absolutely would have and they just tried to slip it under the radar instead. Then someone told Clay Travis, and Clay Travis Clay Travised about it and forced it into an issue ESPN never saw coming.

Yeah the fact that anyone even noticed the change of announcer on an internet only game no one will watch makes me think that they're right and it probably was going to be A Thing either way, although it's probably true that the current performative outrage from the Clay Travises of the world is a lot worse than whatever jokey screencaps would have arisen if they'd left it alone.
