And Nashville is more of a cultural fit in the Southeast than Columbus. /What good is ease of travel when your fans don't travel anyway? Meh I've never thought of it being a cultural fit. I've always thought of it as a locational fit. And Columbus clearly fits in better with the rest of the East. /Columbus fits in better with Washington and arguably Raleigh anyways. What's Raleigh like culturally? //Still thinks everyone's thinking of the Southeast Division as including Atlanta as far as Nashville fitting better... Nashville is a geographically southeastern city. Columbus is a northern Midwestern town. Which makes more sense? Plus as shown above, the overall and average mileage shows that Nashville makes more sense in the southeast division than Columbus does. I wouldn't call Nashville a geographically southeastern city any more than I would call Columbus a geographically northeastern city. Columbus is further East than Nashville. Nashville in the Western Conference, Columbus in the Eastern Conference. OK, let's approach it from this tack since reason seems to have trouble registering here. I think the good people of Nashville are going to take more pleasure in watching the hometown team beat down their fellow Southerners in Raleigh, Miami, Tampa Bay, and Washington than some teams in Yankeeland. Conversely, the people of Columbus, who really, really would like to see the hometown team play Detroit a lot (among others). Does that make sense to you? This is a professional league with a continent-wide footprint. Travel is really a tertiary concern, if that. No, we really, really don't like to see the hometown team play Detroit. What I'm saying is that Nashville isn't close to any Eastern Conference teams, while the Jackets are close to 6. Plus, if you're talking about attendance figures for the Detroit conversation, the CBJ draw just as well against Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal, Pittsburgh, and Washington. /Nashville still isn't close to a single Eastern Conference team.

Make the url go to the larger picture and then the smaller picture would be inside the text. For example... [url="http://photo.jpeg"][img=http://photothumbnail.jpeg][/url] You put the thumbnail as the "text" prompt inside img tags.

The post number in the top right corner if you notice is a link. Copy that link and insert it in the URL spot.

As I've pointed out, Columbus is within 500 miles (driving distance) of both Washington and Carolina, as well as other conference opponents in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Toronto, and Philadelphia. Nashville is within 500 miles (driving distance) of none of them.

This is what I believe SHOULD happen. Now, does that mean it's actually going to? And this image clearly shows that Columbus is considerably closer to Washington and closer to Raleigh than Nashville is. As well as being a considerably distance farther east. Remember that without Atlanta, Nashville isn't within 500 miles of a single conference opponent. The Jackets would be within 500 miles of 2 division opponents, and 4 other conference opponents (Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Philadelphia). They'd be within 500 miles of nearly half the conference, while Nashville wouldn't be within 500 miles of any of the East.

Actually, that's not the case. When I order from NHLShop.com, I don't have to pay tax since there's no NHL Store in Indiana. You only have to pay tax if the retailer has a location in your state, and obviously CHINA JERSEYS 100% LEGIT doesn't have a location anywhere in Indiana. Plenty of crappy stripmall stores sell counterfiets and they probably do comply with the sales tax laws. (also in MN, no tax on clothing anyway) Right this is true, as they're a business set up in whatever state that is that charges tax on clothing.

The owner of the store would most definitely know that the jerseys he's selling aren't real. Retailers buy their jerseys straight from the league or manufacturer. Also, there are some stores that sell say, NFL replicas for less than 80 bucks. How the system works is that Reebok sells the replica to the retailers for about 37 bucks or so IIRC. This gives the stores an option of selling them for MSRP of $80 or selling them for something less, but still profit, say $60.

Sad thing is, the guy's sold so many of these and a grand total of 2 people have noticed things wrong with it.

Dude, you weren't even around here when that happened.

FYI, the Blazers and Steelhounds are both defunct.

If you're selling them for profit in the United States, which these companies are, then copyright law would apply, would it not?

Then quite frankly, you are one of the dumber people on this site. Most people who purchase these things know why it's wrong, they just choose for whatever reason to do it anyway. If you really don't see what the problem is here, then I really hope you sterilize yourself so that you don't pollute our gene pool by making dumb babies. your comment is somewhat pointless. I have a real Mitchell N Ness. I just cut out the middle man. If it were crap, I would tell you so. What's really pointless is your rambling about your "authentic" Mitchell & Ness jersey without providing us a picture of it. Fair, but as someone on here pointed out a while back, being a college student isn't an excuse - no one is entitled to a jersey of their favorite team. sorry I dont have the equipment/device/camera for pictures. I am an adult telling the truth though. now I see a pointless argument about being against the law...? Look if some guy in America is trying to sell obvious fakes and ripping off a company in America by/for lying is one thing and against the law. But if an American company is using Chinese makers to make their jersey and those Chinese sell a few on the side because our laws dont apply to them. Thats not against the law, thats a contractual problem that the American company cant do crap about. Its an extension of free enterprise. It may be odd, but its not like buying your neighbors stolen stereo from another guy who took it. Yeah they do. It's still violating U.S. Copyright Laws, correct? Additionally, their websites are listed under American-controlled domains, right?

If you're expanding to Sacramento at the AL level, then you lose the PCL RiverCats and need to account for that, too. Good points by both of you (and I forgot the Sacto issue). I'll put the extra AAA team in Calgary. I guess.

Oh what the hell, I'll respond to The Admiral's challenge as well. Let's do the following... Major League Baseball: Portland, Oregon and Sacramento, California AAA Pacific Coast League: Southern California/Tucson, Arizona and Vancouver, British Columbia AA Texas League: El Paso, Texas and Wichita, Kansas A-Adv California League: Los Angeles Area and San Francisco Bay Area A Midwest League: Duluth, Minnesota and Green Bay, Wisconsin SSA New York-Penn League: St. Catharines, Ontario and Kitchener, Ontario Rookie Pioneer League: Walla Walla, Washington and Logan, Utah Just an idea.

Right, but nobody'll really notice until they get in the playoffs. Indy's actually a fairly frontrunning town.

The Pacers were actually relevant here during the Reggie Miller era. Now it's just "OMG THEY SUCK AND THEY'RE ALL THUGS!!!11"

Agreed, if they were struggling in the league then they are in now then I would say it makes sense. But they are basically getting an automatic bid in the tourney every year. It wouldnt make any sense. Also, the other thing that has to be considered is the travel. Currently, each and every one of their conference games (with the exception of their football team) happens no farther than 7 or so hours from campus (UW-Green Bay), when in a conference like the Missouri Valley or Atlantic 10, they'd have to travel to places such as Amherst, Massachusetts or Charlotte, North Carolina. This would exponentially increase travel costs for non-revenue sports. It's just not happening.

Butler's not going anywhere right now. Each and every one of their athletic programs, with the exception of men's basketball, would get torn apart in the Missouri Valley or the Atlantic Ten. Plus, why would they want to move out of a conference that they're always making it to the tournament out of? If they played a Missouri Valley or A-10 schedule year-in, year-out, who knows if they'd always be in the Big Dance.

Oh no, not this condescending bullcrap. hey it's tough to learn and read gooder like the kids at Arizona and Washington State Haha I've just got the UofA sig this week to piss of Gary. lol
