Running a website is hard. It's not cheap either and to juggle with any sort of ad revenue to clean format ratio is a full time job. Wait until AI interface begins getting even more complex. Charles does a great job running and operating this site.

I didn't get to watch this game and watching it back as I record most live events is impossible since inevitably someone or something spoiled the result for me. Funny how nobody talks about something until you don't want them to. Congrats to Canada. We'll get you in the Olympics next year(fingers crossed).

What's the definition or amount you call heavy and is it still a transfer if say a recruit signs up but never really goes to the school? Florida took a five star receiver from Oregon after he signed with Oregon but he is still in high school or was an early graduate that will be a true freshman this year. I don't consider him a transfer. But as to the question of what is considered a heavy transfer class. I think you can look at Indiana and Florida State as truly heavy transfer classes with about twenty guys or so that saw time. Ole Miss was a heavy transfer class and most of their NIL went to getting guys like former Gator Princely who was a heavy contributor in 2023 with over 80 tackles and nearly 10 sacks. Ohio State has their well known twenty million dollar roster. But a lot of that went to keeping guys like Ebeka, Henderson, Burke, Sawyer and JT. Yeah Will Howard, Judkins and the "Eraser" Caleb Downs played big roles, but most of their leadership was recruited and coached up for years. Oregon brought in Dillon and Bo Nix before him. But Nix was developed during his time and is more Duck than Tiger. Dillon was a journeyman brought in so he could lead an already deep and talented squad into unknown waters and he did just that. I don't think you'd want a second or first year guy leading you into games at Wisconsin or Michigan and hosting Ohio State or playing against Abdul Carter and that ferocious Penn State line in Indy. Oregon won't have to be dependent on the portal because you recruit at such a high level already. Indiana and Ole Miss will need to hit it yearly because their classes are in the twenties and forties respectively. Remember when Lane Kiffin was considered a great recruiter?

Congrats to Sweden. They lost two heartbreaker's in overtime but end up getting a victory heading into the Olympics next year. To anybody of Swedish ancestry SKOL or SKAL!!!!

Sweden leads 2-1 heading into the third. Fast pace but not as hard hitting. Both Tkachucks are out for the remainder of game.

Snoopy or Odie from Peanuts and Garfield respectively.

Yeah I've seen this show and had to find the toys around Christmas. This and Paw Patrol.

For an "exhibition," match there sure is some excitement. Next year we get the Olympics. I hope the NHL keeps the momentum from this event.

Kind of obscure mention here but I nominate that poor dog just wanting to get fed in this show..... * His name is Arnold btw The new Superman film looks to have Krypto in it. If it were movies I'd pick him or Beethoven.

USA up 1-0 early. Kind of a tuneup game.

USA is up 1-0.

In 2010 the USA beat Canada 3-1 in round robin play during the Vancouver Olympics. Canada came back to beat the USA in overtime to win Gold in the rematch. Let's hope the outcome is different this time. USA will be the home team this time. I hope the Boston crowd is as electric as the Montreal crowd was.

Ever heard the story of the scorpion and the frog? Just so happened that time there were three frogs.

I didn't get to watch Canada vs Finland game. I checked the score briefly and saw it was 4-0 early in the second. Sounds like I missed a hectic comeback attempt by Finland. Congrats to them as I think most odds makers put them as a distant fourth. As far as tonight in the USA vs Sweden game they've already announced Matthew Tkachuck is out. Nothing serious I think, but USA will likely play most their reserves tonight in anticipation for Thursday in the championship. If I could see a live hockey game in person I would choose that game over even a Stanley Cup matchup. It's going to be crazy in Boston.

I'm for it if it eliminates SEC teams scheduling Sun Belt teams. Oregon vs Texas in the regular season, USC vs Texas A&M, Florida hosting Ohio State, Tennessee at Michigan, Wisconsin at South Carolina, Penn State at Georgia, LSU at Washington. Imagine that in the regular season.
