...women’s collegiate hockey—unlike in men’s—checking in any form is illegal and the rules, in general, emphasize skill over physical strength. Before Ruggiero’s appearance in the CHL, old Crimson teammates and her ex-coach knew that she could compete on a professional level with men, but they were nervous about the physical intensity of the game...
During his first term as Speaker, Democrats complained the ex-coach talked bipartisanship but didn't establish his own game plan. Suspicions persist that Hastert is a proxy for conservative Republican power brokers Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, both of whom were too nuclear to be elected Speaker following the impeachment debacle.

Outside the Ancient Eight, Stanford consistently displays their declining scholarship by winning football games. Why, their ex-coach went on to lead the San Francisco 49ers, who haven't had a Rhodes Scholar since sports was dropped from the selection criteria! Only teams with records reeking of futility, such as the University of Chicago's Maroons, can claim to uphold the tradition of the nation's finest...
