The tape

A pass. Not a box.

Opening weekend was a pass. Thursday is reporting, not a grade. Merrimack won a shootout after a 3–3 tie. Notre Dame 3, Niagara 1. Western Michigan 6, Ferris State 0. A 6–0 is not a law. Lake Superior at Lindenwood is not in a box we will invent. No player. A 51 is not a ticket. Saturday is not written. Not 70.

Thursday is reporting, not a grade. We do not invent a box, and we do not invent a hit. Lindenwood stays blank. A home lean we did not write is not a law.
