Luke skates as well as any defenseman in the 96 class, but I worry about his awareness level moving up the ladder. Davison like his older brother is property of the Chicago Steel.

Originally posted by Dirty View PostUND's focus was on the outdoor game last Friday, so I see no reason why UNO's focus shouldn't also be on the outdoor game.
I hear Randy Moss is a big fan of UND's.

Originally posted by SCSU Euro View PostGood idea, focus on the important stuff. I will be in attendance of said outdoor game, that's where the Mavericks' minds should be. MTU? I don't think they're even in the same conference as UNO anymore, I'll bet those are just exhibition games.

Greetings Tech fans! Our fanbase is still thrilled with the sweep of our nemesis Bemidji! We're also happy to have home games for the first time in many a fortnight.
If you're making the trip, the forecast is supposed to turn nice after a few inches of snow and a very cold spell, but we'll see about that. If you're making the trip and need restaurant, social recommendations please let us know!
As for the team. We've got a legitimate Hobey Baker candidate now in Ryan Walters. A guy that gave you guys problems up there Raubenheimer is out, as is Monpetit so the forward depth isn't tremendous. That said, Johnnie Searfoss came back and made an impact last weekend, and Matt White can be the best player on the ice. In goal, you'll see John Faulkner as our # 2 kid, a freshman, bolted midseason.
There should be a pretty good crowd both nights as one of the larger companies in town sponsors this weekend and will have an awful lot of tickets. We've been drawing 5-6K pretty much all year, I'd expect 7-8 this weekend at least.

aw cmon! us geezers are shaking our canes in favor of the risque cheers! objections to chants IMHO are from the admin - most likely worried about political correctness.

There really isn't a formal segregation of the community and the students. It's just that the cranky geezers sometimes get their undies in a bunch about a few of the student cheers, and so they prefer to rattle their canes, walkers, and dentures, and fling holy water from the other side of the arena. No one is stopping them from buying seats on the "student" side (other than Section L).
Also, who eats salad at a hockey game? Really, they just need to keep the Jilbert's ice cream, the obligatory popcorn, the WCHA's best nachos (), and pop, as I think those are the big sellers. The pre-cooked hot dogs and lukewarm cardboard pizza are just gross. Having mistakenly tried both, I have no idea who eats that crap.

Re: '12-13 Michigan Tech Season Thread: Screw the Election, Let's Play Hockey!
A few points.
1. a winning team will bring out more students, but it might take two or three years before there is more demand than there is seats. I think there ought to be some of the seats on the student side taken away and sold to the community or given away to youth hockey.
2. I agree that it's early but you have to think well ahead or you end up behind, and I think winning will bring out people faster than you think.
3. I think if you added 6 or 8 more suites you would have all of them sold in a year or two, And even if they were only sold for the bigger games like carnival, nmu etc, it would be worth doing.
4. I think the east end makes the most sense as far as changes. lets say the suites were at the same level as the ones now, then below that could there not be just regular seats going down to ice level. Put the hall of fame in the concourse that's behind the suites and some special rooms in the corners. I'd also add some better food service places, as the ones we have just do not supply a full house now let alone additional people, and the food isn't very good. I get pretty frustrated waiting in line and often just go back to my seat rather than stand in line for 20 minutes.
5. Speaking of food, can't we have a salad for sale somewhere!( I had a lot of fun at the tailgate they had early in the year, but the food was terrible)

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostThe problem is the students no longer have to invest anything in getting seats so why go until you've forgotten there was even a game tonight. I think they should go back to not including hockey in the freebies. It just doesn't work. I'd rather have student pricing so stupids buy season tickets and then feel vested in showing up because they spent money.

Originally posted by giwan View PostDo they offer a bus service to the game?
As far as more seats go, I see no point in discussing more seats until there are at least 10 sell outs per season minimum. Lack of supply creates demand and the folks that miss out one game because actual seats were sold out will buy tickets in advance the next time if they don't want SRO.
