Re: Northeastern Huskies 2014-15 Season Thread Part II: It Ain't over!!
I heard him, but from my seats in section 8 (directly behing the anthem singer), I couldn't see him, nor would I have been able to recognize him at that distance.
There are several "elders", as you call them, who hang around the VC room as though it is their personal clubhouse. I am not one of them, but I do recognize that they have done more over the years to support NU athletics than you can imagine. I can't say whether or not they "get it", but in many ways they are not satisfied with the status quo. In a few cases I can say theat they are resigned to it, but others would love to see a major overhaul.
From your post, I have been led to believe that you are not a member the "Friends of Hockey". You would know that a donation is not required. We ask for a nominal membership fee of $40 IIRC. There are "gentlemen" of all ages, including students who pay a reduced memberships fee, as well as a number of "ladies". The members were not content with Bruce Crowder. He was a pleasant fellow, but the results were disappointing and we needed a much tougher guy and stronger recruiter.
If you are an enthusiastic NU hockey fan, why don't you become a member. There is a Year End awards dinner coming up (usually in early April) and the FOH annual meeting with the coan in June, I can promise that you will be much better informed. Go to the bottom of the GONU.com hockey page for a link to the FOH.
As for the basketball team, you can count on two things. They (the "braintrust") will find a way to screw it up and Roby will be there. If you post or lurk on Diehard Dogs, you already know how the folks there view the status quo and how they feel about the "Hockey Assassin"
