or possibly “This is a Fire Door, Never Leave Open”

But that means a morning drive in that usually takes just over an hour takes me 2:40 instead. and that same drive in the evening is 1:50 or so.

But I’ll try leaving and coming back in a bit and see if it works again :)

two, actually

the first time, against LSU, there was a plenty on the last play, not noticed until after the teams and coaches had already shaken hands. it allowed them to replay the last play. LSU scored a touchdown to win 16-14. There’s still a picture floating around the internet of CBS announcing Tennessee 14 LSU 10 as the final score.

the second time I was actually there. UNC tried to spike the ball, didn’t get it spiked in time, flag on the field, Vol fans obviously freaking out because we’d seen it before. referee announced that the penalty was on UNC, so the game was over. after the teams/coaches shook hands, they reviewed and found that there was a tenth of a second left on the clock. so they let UNC run one more play, on which they kicked a field goal and sent the game to OT. They won in double OT. because of that, there’s a new rule with an automatic 10 second runoff with offensive penalties late in games

that's what scares me

but Skinner was held out for two months and didn’t come back until everyone was extremely damn sure he was back. skated non-contact for a full three weeks before he came back to the ice. so there shouldn’t be a lingering injury to aggravate. but in the second game after a return, you’re always nervous. and Jeff Skinner is one heck of a hockey player

While not technically illegal, Orpik did everything that needs to removed from the game. A shoulder hit on an unsuspecting player who’s head was down. Follow through with a solid elbow and nearly leave your feet to deliver the utmost momentum.

And my fantasy team thanks you too

May miracles never cease

The Tampa Bay Lightning have finished a game that will be counted as what is known as a “win”. A “win” also is knowna s “victory”. It’s a positive.

It’s the first win of the year 2012. Happy new year, everyone. 5-3 final from Times Palace.
Good night.
