We’ve been informed that the previous press release which we just published under the Avant-Guard Dog banner was not, in fact, satire, we’re actually just gonna go ahead and bend the knee to the whims of the Big Ten Six-plus-Notre-Dame. Frankly, we read it and kinda just—y’know—assumed. I guess we’ll try this whole GLI thing again in 2022, eh?
So…
… “Happy” Friday, folks?

I can live with it for one year as long as, if we get a win, it counts as an away win and not as a neutral site win. After that, eff them.
In reality, I’m very much in agreement with this, but the big issue in my eyes is the removal of the tournament format.

FWIW, I was afraid something like this was going to happen a couple years ago, as soon as the word got out that the Pistons would join the Red Wings as tenants in the new LCA. There’s only 5 days available between Dec. 26-30 to squeeze in a two-night tournament, given the Wing’s traditional New Year’s Eve game. Throw in an extra Wings game, a Piston’s game and a concert or two, and GLI gets aced out.
