This is a really sad day. I've been going to the shootout before I could walk so I feel like a part of me has been ripped out and thrown away. Sadly, I think we all could see this coming last year when the Athletic Department started talking about all their losses, fiscally. The Shootout is a luxury the school can't afford any longer.

That loud noise you hear is Richard Rhyner cheering for another blow to Athletics. I'm sure he's not alone in his celebration.
