    Here's a factoid that oughta wreck Carny for ya.

    If you will notice my sig, the Tragic Number now sits at 6. Any mix of 6 more points conceded by Tech or scored by whoever sits in the 11th slot (currently Bemidji) will clinch sole possession of last place for Tech.

    Tech can clinch at Carny with a Bemidji sweep. (Or a loss and tie with a LOT of help, specifically, Mankato and St. Cloud both staying ahead of Bemidji.)

        But UND uses jump TV and their video quality is fine. I have a feeling the issues are on Tech's end.

            If that's the case, then we have one ancient camera in the press box.

                    However, they should be working together to promote the school and, by extension, its athletic programs.
                    Thats how other schools do it. Hell, Wayne State has done a craptonne of ads in the Detroit Metro area, and they're all pretty professional looking to boot. Big media campaign for them. And heck, they have even been getting some of their BB scores mention on the local news as well. Then again, that all important thing, Winning, has a little something to do with that.

                      They lost again? Figures.

                      This team is not going anywhere. I will bet that they don't win a game the rest of the season, will anyone take that bet?

                      They aren't getting any better. They still get beaten like a Cambodian whore by teams that aren't anywhere close to elite (UAA and for next week, BSU!). I don't know what to do, but either Jamie needs to figure some **** out very soon, and convince his bosses that he deserves one more year or the entire house needs to be swept clean. This team is ****ing embarrassment to the school.

                        Regarding the Tv quality. this is a much bigger issue than just jump tV. I agree the quality is bad I have have complained about it.
                        But there is more to this.
                        I think if you look back, there has been a facilities war going on in college hockey to get recruits. This is slowing down as the facilities are getting finished.

                        imho the next war is the media and the availability of the game to the mom's and dads and to get exposure to the recruit on TV.
                        This fits is perfectly with the revolution in TV that is going on as Comcast just merged with NBC. In Detroit they have 1000 cable networks. 1000. Think of all the content they will need to fill it. So the bthc comes along and says.. oh we have.... content... in high def... ready to roll.

                        Looking at the moves the big ten schools are making, it's all about exposure. A lot of money invested in new video equipment, etc.. This is why michigan just announced a huge investment in video for yost. To be on tv in high Def. or at least have the capability when the time comes.

                        Soooo.. To be competitive we have to have all new high def equipment which is of course expensive.
                        this also fits into the new scoreboard. A regular scoreboard which was fine 3 years ago is not fine now. Not only that but now you might also need a camera crew and multiple camera locations for some games such as carnival, and multiple high def screens around the rink.. It's a big investment and one all the top schools are already making.
                        I would bet that a number of people on campus have already thought of this and are discussing the ramifications.

                            The WCHA blog on this site will apparently be interviewing Russell, in an article to be released on Thursday.

                                Win A (as in single) game the rest of the year? I'll bet a Maker's Mark at the bar on it.
