The USA beat Canada earlier in the olympics but Canada gets to be no. 1? these rules are screwy and that's an outrage! The IOC better be glad I'm not going where ever they are or I would give them a piece of my mind!!

Oops I thought complaining about not getting first based on rules used year after year and that are pretty common was the "in" thing to do around the forum these days. My mistake!

It is total obvious that the USA won the gold.

For a complete breakdown, see my post in the non-UNT sports forum:

If this were the Sun Belt Conference, the USA would win the gold medal because of the following scenerio:

Both teams played each other twice and are tied 1-1 in head-to-head. Team USA won the first game 5-3 in regulation. Canada won the second game 3-2 in OT. The USA therefore holds a 7-6 combined goal advantage over the Canadians, plus Canada has 2 losses in the tournament (comparable to conference play), while the USA has only one.

All this clearly shows that the USA won the gold.... if this were the Sun Belt Conference.

Somehow, somewhere, FIU is responsible for that overtime goal.

Every American in general should get a gold medal for complaining. It's the American way !

The rules are clearly laid out for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals and there is no chance of a three way tie like what we had in the Sun Belt. It's all been decided head-to-head. That wasn't our case, where a quirky rule interpretation was used to determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Where I think your argument loses merit is that this is all decided head-to-head; if you lose 2 twice in the Olympic Hockey tournament, you're out. Yes, Canada lost to the US early on, but they won all the other games they played and got back into the Gold Medal match. Those were the rules, everyone knew them, and they are equitable.

Please try to find a more apples to apples comparison.

Dude, I gave you a plus 1. Everyone who gave you a -1 should get a -5 for the inability to recognize a sarcastic post.

I only gave a - 1 because I know he gave himself a + 1 . So it balances itself out. One should'nt give oneself a +1. If you don't agree with that than I'll give u a -1 !!!

Dude. Tone is a pretty subtle thing to pick up on message boards I guess. I thought this was funny. Next time I make a facetious post, I'm slapping up a big Bill Engvall-style sign to avoid confusion:

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
