the Highway 2 Conference -- A proposal

Re: the Highway 2 Conference -- A proposal

What about UAH instead of BSU?

You could have two divisions, the UP schools and the No one wants to travel here schools. Play mostly in your own division.

The other left overs form a conference, which I believe including Notre Dame has seven teams, which is what they want. Everyone's happy!

Isn't this really the M-28 Conference?

Ah, true enough. US-2 is a state of mind more than a geographic reality. M-28 is ok, until you get to L'Anse, and it doesn't go to Minnesota. Frankly, with BSU, Tech, NMU, LSSU, UAF, and UAA, you could just as well call it the "Freezing your As* Off Hockey Conference." The Big Snow Conference.

I retract my use of US 2, since that highway merely passes somewhat, sort of, near the schools (it even skirts a little south of Bemidji).

I'd think about a different name for this "Highway 2 Conference". Everyone will just refer to it as "number two".

Who does #2 work for!?

No, Andy Baggot and Madison.com have it out there.

The source said that officials at Denver and North Dakota strongly questioned the direction of the WCHA during the annual American Hockey Coaches Association convention in Florida in May. There was sentiment to force long-time commissioner Bruce McLeod to step down, but the source said that while people from multiple schools inched up to that line, "no one crossed it.''

When the notion came up of schools possibly seceding from the WCHA instead, it was met with the threat of six-figure fines per institution.

And what muscle do they have to flex? Full arenas? Wildly successful programs? A string of NCAA tourney appearances? Where is the muscle?

Re: the Highway 2 Conference -- A proposal

How about Tech, Northern, Lake State, and Bowling Green. The "we uzda be a conteda" conference.

Had CC and UMD not been taken up, I'd add them, too.

Its time for the UP schools to flex some muscle.
