...troubles continue. In 2006, 13 Hurricanes players were suspended after a vicious on-field brawl and Coker actually had to set a team policy that players not own or carry firearms. Coker (who arrived at UM in 2001) has since been fired, replaced by former UM linebacker Randy Shannon. Under Shannon, whose hiring has been widely applauded by observers like Lapchick, there have so far been no embarrassing incidents. Unfortunately, there haven't been as many wins either: the 'Canes had a losing season this fall, look unlikely to receive a bowl invitation and haven't won a National Championship...
...walk-off home run kind of thing.” The well-matched league foes showed off their defense in the first half and offense in the second. The game remained scoreless through the first frame as Harvard goalkeeper junior Kylie Stone registered two saves and Cornell counterpart Shannon Prescott tallied three. In the second half, the two teams traded goals twice. “This was our most complete game of the season,” Caples said. “No one ever plays a perfect game but we were very solid and really stepped...

...lone holdout was the Johnson Space Center engineering group, which, according to Shannon, agreed that flying as-is was acceptable but considered it "prudent" to try to patch the hole to increase safety margins and decrease the risk of further damage to the shuttle on re-entry. But Shannon says he's more comfortable with the known risks associated with the gouge than with the unknown risks of an untried repair job, which would have required the astronauts to coat damaged tiles with heat-resistant paint and fill the hole with a caulk-like goo. The next shuttle mission, Shannon...
...Shannon spent five hours with a team of about 200 engineers and mission management folks going over the data on Endeavour's gouge, caused by the seemingly unstoppable shedding of foam insulation off the external fuel tank during launch. The gouge was determined to be of a size and in a location that would not create danger to the crew or ship. Shannon says the vote was not unanimous but "pretty overwhelming" for Endeavour to return home without repair...
