Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach

Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach

Last week the rumor down here was that Ben was committing to Michigan no matter who the coach is at Tech. And when he does Levi will change his commitment to Michigan as well (I think that part was/is 99.9% wishful thinking on the part of the downstate Errkilas).

Now the same people are just as sure Ben is 100% going to the Spitfires. Don't ya just love all the third hand rumors.

Checking the Spitfire web site yesterday, I could not find where he was even drafted by them, not that that matters.

Ben could really use a year or two at USHL

Amen to that.

On a different subject I wonder who is the top notch defenseman that DU says they are going to sign in a week. Still playing apparently, or maybe a ntdp player.

As did I. No news of any signings as of today on their website.

If he goes that route, then it's most likely college for him.

So, are they going to have power back in Houghton in time for the press conference? What a "Welcome to Houghton" moment for Mel.

Tech has it's own power as a backup. They should be fine, Tech classes aren't canceled today either.

Don't even get me started on Tech's backup power.

I now feel obligated to do so though...

I need to get back into media. Not a single person asked him where his targeted recruits are coming from.
otherwise, I heard two very refreshing things: 1) I'm going to let the players play, and be aggressive in the offensive zone, and 2) I'm going to treat the players like professionals.

Suzanne Sanregret, way to go!! She has done what Rick Yeo (Tech Hockey Alumni) could not do. Now she needs a raise.

i just threw up a little bit in my mouth

Everybody needs a raise the AD, SID, BB coaches, FB coaches and soccer coaches.

Heck the Hockey Alumni raised 2 million why not give everybody a raise.

Spread the wealth all the smart posters on the board want a chunk of the change too.

Maybe Mel will hire a smart poster from the board as his top assistant. That would be cool.

Great I always wanted to work for Mel and I could be his right hand man just like he was with Red.

I could recruit Ben from Calumet, take all the commited recruits from UM, and all the candian players that will come to Hoton just because it will be home for the players from Canada.

I could also be his SID and promote the heck out of MTU hockey. Let kids watch for free. Skate on the ice with Mitch night. I would promote a Kids Misfit fan club. Fill the stands with 2,000 kids every home game from Lanse, Ontonagan, and Calumet.

I could also sit with Dirk during the game and help him broadcast the games. Also, have Bob Olson back to cheer every win for the huskies.

I would also put all the jerseys in the stalls before every game and be the equipment manager in hopes of being an AD some day.

Mel and Yooper what a combo. Goodbye Red, Hello Yooper. Sounds good.
