Slingin’ Rock
Will spent a huge amount of time up north in the water, and one of his favorite things to do was to pick up rocks and throw them. The rocks got bigger and bigger as the vacation went on, and close to the end they weighed almost as much as he does.

Man, that cat’s a real jerk.
The trailer for Closer To The Edge, the rare motorcycle movie that doesn’t appear to be set to rap metal.

Bob Mould recording “Dear Rosemary” with the Foo Fighters from the upcoming documentary. This clip is pretty crazy when you think about how intertwined the players in this video are. Bob Mould was asked to record Nevermind by Kurt Cobain, but turned it down and they went with Butch Vig. Bob’s always maintained that his recording of Nevermind would have been a lot darker, less commercial. Does Nirvana still blow up with a less commercial Nevermind? Does Butch Vig’s career take off without that record? If the record’s still a hit, does Bob Mould become a megaproducer?
Love how much of a fan Dave is. He seems like a really good guy.

Despite the championship game drubbing by Yale, this was a pretty great end to the hockey season, given that everyone expected a rough rebuilding year (and it seemed that things were going that way at the beginning of the season.) In response to people calling for Schafer’s head / questioning his coaching due to our inability to beat this fast and skilled Yale team, Towerroad on eLynah posted a list of “measures of success.” I thought it was a fantastic list and figured I’d reproduce it here for posterity:
Here are a few of my thoughts informed or otherwise about other measures of success:
1. Beating the Harvard Mens Varsity Figure Skating Society.
2. Filling Lynah East with a sea of Red and humiliating both of the aforesaid Figure Skating Society fans when it comes to Alma Mater singing and general cheering.
3. Filling Lynah and maintaining the traditions and dreaded passion of the Faithful from the Anthems to the Salute.
4. Having the best band in the Ivies.
5. Winning the Ivy League.
6. Making it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
7. Graduating Hockey Players who got an education.
8. Selling out womens’ games.
9. Consistently beating Yale.
If we do these things on a regular basis and never win a title who is to say that the program is not a tremendous success.
