And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Super bummed Matthews Arena is closing. 115 years of history. I saw countless Northeastern hockey games though growing up. Saw Nas there when I was a student. Once played an intramural game where we had 6 skaters and beat a team with three lines.
