Steve you really make it tough for me to honor my new pledge not to resort to personal attacks, because you are certainly just throwing buckets of material here.

But, I will simple state once again that yes you are correct there are in fact links on the front page of the USCHO website that cover some of these stories.

I will kindly remind you that a link on the front page does not constitute a story, especially when the link doesn't even go to a story persay but rather a news wire compilation or a link to an outside news agency as in some of those links that you point.

My point was not even so much those particular stories but simply the lack of change in stories. Those were examples. And again yes I realize there are links there on the front page, and simply IMO a link does not constitute a story.

But I appreciate the time you took pointing that out to me. I know you must be a busy guy.

No Genaway story on the front page.
You didn't predict UVM to beat BC in the HE semis.
Vermont accepts 25% of their applicants.

Any other gems you want to throw in there?

I know, jcarter, its not true because in your world it's not. Who told you about UVM's fictional acceptance rate that you posted? Was it "Bigfoot" or did you see it in a crop circle?

Slasher,

Just to clarify,

I never said there was no Genoway story there. In fact I ignored that post. That would be your first mistake.

I never denied predicting that UVM would win in the finals. Someone at some point attibuted me stating that UVM would win. I also explained on that thread at that time that it was a prediction and what I was taking exception to was that idea that I stated it as if I was some cocky BC student. It was a prediction, and that I do not deny. So again you are wrong in that I do not deny that I predicted UVM to beat BC in the semi finals 3-1 if I'm not mistaken. I was in turn wrong with my prediction.

Finally, the VT acceptance rate, I really don't remember that entire dialogue, but I do remember I was wrong on part and correct in part. But for argument's sake let's just pretend that I was completely wrong and you are correct in that part of your post. 1 for 3 not too shabby.

Re: USCHO Front Page Picture / Story

Quick question:

If you're reading the front page of a newspaper, and in the side column, there's a one line blurb followed by dotdotdots and a page number, is that a story?

IMO, a web link is shorthand for a newspaper "go to this page" reference: click the link=turn the page.

One sentence doesn't make a story. I think they teach that in Kindergarten...

And I almost hate myself for sticking up for that guy...

And REGARDLESS of whether those links on the side are "front page" stories, they don't come with pictures, which is obviously the focus of the thread, "USCHO Front Page Picture / Story". C'mon, don't give a kid grief just 'cause he needs a picture!
