Well, I do care about those parts.

Most of the vulgar chants we have are also not very clever, and do make us look like boorish idiots.

Also, I'm bitter that I never got "Great Taste"/"Less Filling" to be a chant that caught on.

Exile, that was the chant from Section "O" to "M" IIRC in the mid-to-late 80's (I know I heard that as a kid a zillion times)...I don't recall exactly when the kids changed it to the profane...Of course "Great Taste/"Less Filling" hasn't been in a commercial in 20 years or more so it's no surprise that chant went extinct

It was definitely around in the early 2000s. I remember it.

Actually, I think they've been using it very recently, but only in an off-hand way at the end of commercials, not women arguing about it while stripping each other.

FSN or at least local TV better step in for the UND and/or BU series. I have a hard time believing those would go untouched

I do too. And then there's also this:

Which pretty much means more is coming at some point.

Cameron Hughes was rated a C prospect in the preseason watch list. I thought he was pushing first round? I wish I had the data on how many rated a C preseason end up in the early rounds, though.

The trend last year was that his stock was rising, but he is as skinny as a rail @ 144#. That must be hurting him. He is the lightest guy on that list and only 1 other player is in the 140's, a lad from Deutschland. There's only 3 players in the 150#'s and 23 in the 160's.

For the record, he's listed @ 160# on UW's website, but that must be soaking wet while wearing some of Rumpel's gear.

Everyone is going to have different opinions on players, this is just one source. Would be a major surprise if he lasted past the third round, even in a good draft.

That's what I had thought, too. From my perspective as a Badger fan, he is what he his, and I suppose I'd rather have him get underrated than properly rated by NHL scouts. At this point, he's still just a dude from Alberta to me, as I haven't seen him play yet.

What do you guys think of our USCHO ranking of 10th?

Too high. Doubt you'd hear anyone here say otherwise. I was surprised to see them ranked so aggressively. Shows how much national writers and coaches pay attention.
