Tom Corbett was an excellent assistant at Air Force - he was to Serratore as Mel was to Red - and I expect as time goes on we will be hearing more from UAH. can't say enough about the town. the rocket museum. (home of the space program) the historic district (antebellum homes) the food (Wintzell's Oyster House, Cotton Row, Blue Plate Cafe) comfortable arena southern hospitality.

    glad the guys get a rest and time to prepare for Duluth. another big showdown in Houghton!
    Hopefully there will be a luncheon. One would assume there will be, seeing how it's tech's only series in December. The following statement will be repeated many times in the coming weeks; so sad UMD and Tech won't be playing for a while. For me personally it's one of the toughest parts of realignment. Lucky for me though I'm sure we will attend one tech home series per year anyway.

      One of the Premier college hockey series of the year nationwide if you ask me. Huge implications for Tech in the pairwise. It doesn't take much to drop out of the top 14.

      Oh and I have developed a definite dislike for Ted Donato.

        It's the series I miss the most with the nWCHA. I fondly remember the loon coming to Houghton as a kid... And being TERRIFIED in the old arena's upper deck.
        MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

        Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

            I hope so, too. The luncheons are always fun. And the last one, soh and I even met tMel, thanks to huskyfan. Couldn't persuade him to start his freshman goalie, though. His quote, "What, feed him to the wolves? Hah! No way." (referring to the Gophers, who they played that weekend).
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              I'd have to agree. Going to be key for both teams. If UMD could get a split there that would be huge. UMD has had the better end of this rivalry in the last 7 or 8 years (only lost three games since 2009 (IRRC).

              Same. tLoon was the best, didn't know he made it out to Houghton! That's pretty awesome. tLoon is awaiting someone to pick up the torch and do it again

              tDecc was a great place to watch a game. Because of that place I don't like being down low when watching hockey, I'd rather be up a level or two. Need to be on top of the action rather than right in front of it.

              This is why I hope they have it. We'll be up late Thursday so we would love to attend the luncheon for this.

              I'm bummed that they won't continue as a non-conference series. I assumed it would be one we would have each year but apparently UMD's schedule is too full from in-state rivalries (which doesn't make a ton of sense to me since it's only two series). It is one of the closest for UMD (3rd closest) and second closest for Tech, makes sense and saves each team on travel.

                tJohnsonsJerseys is disappointed that although this is a bye week, proper protocol for discussion of MTU v UMD games is not being followed. tJohnsonsJerseys would like to remind other users that this is the Michigan Tech season thread. It is not 'Nam. There are rules.

                  UMD is not on bye and talking like that is reserved for the series thread, not either team's season thread.

                        Is anyone else surprised Wintjes is the traveling #2 goalie? I know Mel has talked him up in the past, but I always thought it was mostly talk and he'd be the 3rd stringer with Kero the #2, especially after his season in the BCHL.

                          Actually, citing the ruling from Pearson v State of Michigan circa 2012, any discussion of a series between MTU and UMD technically falls under the jurisdiction of the common law term "series thread". As such all rules shall hold in said discussion.
