This is where boredom happens. The Gamethread is live 3 hours early for a variety of reasons today:
1. I am so bored I am watching UEFA Champions League Soccer on Fox Soccer Channel. (Ah the life of the unemployed)
2. I forgot to mention Ryne Smith as needing a nickname in this morning's entry. Fortunately, reader Olafmetal provided a great one with "The Love Pump."
3. I gave up covering a high school game for this, so it had better be worth it. I was supposed to cover it last night, but after driving an hour to get there I discovered it was postponed because of the sheer terror that is a quarter inch of snow and no one knew about it.
So we have a game thread. Once again, here is you list of nicknames to use tonight:
