  • Cold Turkey Thursday or We're not OPUN today

    I'd like to conduct an experiment today that may have profound consequences.

    Beginning at 12 noon Eastern and lasting until 11:59 AM Eastern on Friday, there can be no posts about or mentioning the following schools:
    Oswego
    Plattsburgh
    Utica
    Norwich

    (posts responding to pick 'ems are permitted)

    My hypothesis is that 99% of the traffic on this forum revolves around these 4 schools. If traffic regarding these four schools is voluntarily cut off for 24 hours
    1. Home life at certain households may improve.
    2. That beyond the OPUN schools, D-III is alive with fresh ideas that just need time to be fulfilled.
    3. The doctrine of fairness - so prevalent at many of our institutions needs time and freedom to be explored.

    Enjoy Cold Turkey Thursday!!

    Can we debate this before agreeing?

        So let's see if I have this right.... you think the only way to talk about other schools (on an open forum) is to ban discussion on the teams you think are over-discussed? You can post on SUNY Morrisville or St. Olaf any time you want...you don't have to ban talking about Plattsburgh or Oswego to do it. You don't work for the Obama administration, do you?

                        If they were still Div III (and they played like they were this year), they'd be on the banned list too! So where's the riveting discussion on Johnson & Wales and Concordia (Wisconsin)?

                          Johnson & Wales is an odd team, they beat Buffalo State twice, Potsdam and Williams but were only 7-6-1 in a mediocre ECAC Northeast. Likewise with CUW, they had some good performances this year then lost to same so-so teams and got crushed a bunch of times.

                            In all seriousness, the hottest team in the country right now statisically is Plymouth State.

                            Longest unbeaten streak in D-III at eight games with a 6-0-2 record.

                            With "fishy" castoff from the Mohawk-Leatherstocking region of New York State, Gordan Ceasar between the pipes in the second half, the Panthers have been racking up the victories. Zach Sarig is as good as any offensively from the blue line as well.
