PioneerVision's fall schedule does not include hockey. Other than exhibitions (which I would watch) the only 2 home games are Oct. 21 & 22 against Minnesota State. A couple of years ago PV did get a feed from Tech (10/27 & 28). I'd watch that too. November is when the home games really begin including the Denver Cup,
Wishful thinking--DU vs BC and DU vs BU Oct 14 and 15.
Okay, I admit it.
>I'm ready to see more than 3 freshmen listed on the DU roster.
Further I'm ready to see new player pictures, rather it be frosh or Seniors, who are still using first year pictures.

>I'm ready for captains' practices to begin.
>I'm ready to hear Quentin Shore has committed to DU. (And that Drew, Nick and Quentin will all be playing for the Pioneers in 2012-13.)!!!
>I'm ready to hear the frosh exceed expectations!
>I'm ready to hear Sam Brittain's rehab is way ahead of schedule.
>I'm ready to see the WCHA Pre-Season poll.
>I'm ready for Puck Swami to start posting again.

Now the question has to be: How do we keep these stars from bolting the minute the NHL comes calling?
I think the NCAA\NHL should crack down and not let a player leave until they have finished their Junior year or even more extreme until they have graduated. I don't know if anything will ever change on this but I believe something does need to be done. Look at Rhett he had a great career at DU was able to get his degree and is now a successful player in the big leagues.
Just my 2 cents...

We could try the Miami Hurricanes plan. Just kidding. Just kidding. Besides, I figure the NC$$ owes us one for putting us on probation when we didn't do anything wrong and were, in fact, on the side of the angels. Just MY two cents.
As I've mentioned before, the first DU player to come out early was two time WCHA scoring champion George Morrison. Signed by St. Louis of the NHL and their G.M. Lynne Patrick, Craig's dad. The guy had 70 goals in just 64 games for the Crimson and Gold! The Clarion described him as "the cool soph with the quick stick." (Mom, Old Pio's doing it again.)
These infractions will not only bring down the athletic department at Miami (FL) but could also end the reign of the current school president and possibly some board members. My guess is that the football program gets the death sentence and the hoops program may get suspended. Miami didn't win anything during the time the infractions took place so no championships will be vacated but a lot of W's will be turned into L's.

A rouge jock sniffing Ponzi scam artist that didn't go to Miami is going to crash the program. Has to be every AD's nightmare.
This is why its a real good idea for alumni to keep clear of the student athletes when they are in college.
Seems like a case tailor made for the death penalty. And richly deserved, IMO. The worst thing I've ever seen in college sports came in a game between Miami and Colorado (McCartney era) in Boulder. Two programs that had deliberately emphasized "thug" culture. On national TV just as the first half ended, they engaged in a bench clearing, helmet swinging brawl. I mean, really ugly. But then, both of those programs WERE really ugly. I will never forget or forgive Miami showing up at the Fiesta Bowl (?) wearing their jungle fatigues. How could a university permit that? The Penn State kids were wearing blazers and ties. Tough call as to which team I wanted to win.
This dude in Miami was a convicted felon. How careful do you have to be to keep a guy like that away from your athletes?

All of this makes my Buckeyes' win over those thugs for the national championship in 2002 even sweeter!
