UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread III

Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread III

This ride has been tremendous and although I'm ULowell through and through I didn't follow the program for a long time after I got out of School. I picked things up again about 8 years ago and wished I followed the team more in those "missing" years.

What is done is done and I've been very fortunate to meet a lot of great people over the last 5 years at the Tsongas & Beer Works (you know who you are) who are passionate about Lowell hockey; and more importantly the University.

A question for the Lowell fans here: How many texts/calls/facebook posts have you received over the last 3 weeks? It has been crazy for me!

I will wager its no more than 20 students anyhow. I would be devestated if I had to miss out because of an exam or whatnot.

These are also going to be people involved long after its over and return benefit to the school.

I've heard there are only 45 tickets left so that was great to hear!
My work hates me already so I'm going to miss the first game. You can bet ill be up there for Saturday though!

Shocked to see two other schools with a River Hawk mascot.

Tons! I finally told Mr les that if he knew someone I did that they said congratulations because I couldn't remember them all to tell him. Amazing. Even more amazing is the amount of closet UL fans that have been congratulating us in person!

Will be a lot more than 250 for Thursday night, I'm sure. I wonder how easy it will be to follow the game on the big screen.

Would appreciate if someone who went to the Tsongas for regionals could answer this. I couldn't do Manchester Friday night (was right in front of the band for Saturday though!) and would have liked to hit the Tsongas but was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow the action. Went to the Sportszone instead and had a great time. Lot's of fans there and even though there were basketball games on, every TV in the place was on Lowell Wisconsin. They had the half price apps going too.

Speaking of which, Murphy's was the bomb! $2.00 Sam Summers, free sodas for my kids and half price apps!?! Awesome! We sat outside in the brilliant warm sun lovin life.

For the record, I was the one who came up during the 2nd intermission and told you guys to stop saying "sucks" in response to "UNH" and instead drown them out.

I was thinking the same.

And in regards to what Lowell is doing for students (and alumni) ... night and day. Let's be honest here. This is so far unexpected (both on and off the ice).

A chant of "second-place" would have gone right along with UNH....

I would disagree. Last yr they did the same thing for regionals. This yr they knew what to add on to how they handled last yr. I can't begin to say how totally impressed I am with the way they are handling things and anticipating what resources/info we need, making things available.

We went to the post game party at the Tsongas on Saturday night. They had the BC/Union game up on the big screen as well as all of the small screens in the pavillion. So, if the big screen bothers you, you could still sit near one of the TVs in the club and hang out with friends. The bar was open and they had some food available as well.

I'm talking about what's going on in general ... which applies to everything that's happened the last two years.

Yeah, had we broke through in 01-02 it wouldn't be like this

When BU was at the Alfond late in the season, the fans they brought along were using the "suck" thing and were quickly drowned out by Maine fans chanting, "Beanpot Losers."
It works!

Agree- we need some creativity. We have enough of a fanbase now that we should start seeing something besides suck, UML and Let's go Lowell.
