Ugh. It's terrible. I don't like to demean other schools, but it's so boring for someone that doesn't enjoy nasty frat parties.

Back to your earlier comment. Are the amish really that much of an inconvenience?
- PhillySportsGuy

They annoy me and many others.

Objectively, their horse and buggies are a safety hazard. Their large enough to have to go to the other lane to pass, into oncoming traffic. It's stupid to do, I know, but that leads to clueless people passing them going uphill/around a corner/both/other blind situations. Similarly, you could be flying around a turn, then boom suddenly horse and buggy that you had no idea was there.

I've seen horse get spooked and veer into an oncoming lane.

Plus they hardly have reflectors. Nighttime buggies are great.

Wilmington has big buildings but definitely isn't a city. I say that only because there's no other city I can think of that literally depopulates at night.

Wilmington is a City. Its not like Philly, but its a city. You must have only been to the Delaware Ave area. Sure that depopulates, but there are a TON of poeple that live and Die in Wilmington all the time.

If your talking about 5 star resturants then NY wins. DC has a better varity of traditional ethnic food, with a good amount of 5 star. Philly is alright, but doesnt hold a candle to either in those departments.

I've never eaten at such a fancy place before, don't know when I will get to again. I hope soon, the food was unbelievable. The price isn't quite so much.

If we keep the team the way it is, we should have good defenseman depth.

Four seasons is totally overrated in terms of staying at the hotel. (Not including food, which is excellent. Brunch is the best). There are many other hotels which are just as nice but much less expensive. Four Seasons makes more money based on name and reputation.

Hopefully the SEL and OMJHL seasons are over by the so Hagg and Morin can be our top pair after the injuries to every NHL member of our blueline except, somehow, Gervais.

Should we buyout Bryzgalov?
We overpayed for Streit.
Lecavalier is a waste of cap space.
We need Jagr back.
We need Gagne back.
