The new Super League is going down the tubes.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.

Nope, don't care about Denver, CC, Faison, Gwozdecky, Alberts...screw 'em. The B1G Mistake may have created this mess but DU and UND pulled out their knife and stabbed whats left of the WCHA right in the gut.

From here on out if we lose any programs can we all blame UND and DU?

1. Barry Alvarez.
2. Penn State.
3. UND.
4. DU.

In that order.

IMO, you can't blame PSU but the other three I am on the fence. Maybe Tech fans could start some new anti- DU and UND chants just so they know how we feel? ;P

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.

Check your facts buddy. If you wanna call one of the two a bottom feeder in the WCHA over the last decade, tUMD has been below. tUMD was a last-minute add-on, and so was SCSU. And it doesn't matter... the record books will indicate that SCSU started playing NCHC hockey at the same time as UND and DU.

Yeah, but they'll never forget you weren't a "Charter Member". Ask Maine and Lowell fans about it sometime.

PSU demanded the Big 10 charter immediately. Of course they were going to because it makes sense for them. But the other 5 schools and the rest of the Big 10 could have said no and they could have joined a conference that would have had 4 of the 6 without issue.

No fence sitting for me. I knew what this crap would do. What I find funny is that its happening in football at the same time.

I might be wrong but I don't believe the Big Ten had a choice. If they have at least 6 schools playing a sport they always merge and play together. IMO, everybody but PSU created this mess.

Um. No. They had a choice. 6 Schools is required for a Big 10 Conference but nothing says that they have to form one.

I stand corrected. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the Big Ten has ever not formed a conference when they have 6 membership schools playing the same sport. In fact I don't think it has ever happened in 100 plus years of the conference.

I believe you are correct there. And Penn State was going to want this no matter what. It was up to the other schools to decide the ultimate decision. I still find it fascinating that a TV Network was probably the deciding factor. No one watches hockey on TV.

I hear ya. IMO, the BTN may be to blame in all this. The schools will have a huge advantage over every hockey playing school in the country and that is why I laugh at this new league. The new league could have been avoided and it is a shame they killed college hockey. Sad day.

I'm glad Someone went there.

You really should just stop posting.

You two could make a "never post on USCHO again" pact.

We're not no one, just like a .0002 share of the market.

Sure. You know what I mean though. There's no ratings. They get higher ratings for poker on ESPN then they do for hockey.

Statistically speaking, yes.
