      FWIW, the B1G fans hate the current alignment. Especially the ones from the old CCHA. It really wouldn't be that bad except that they (except for OSU), along with Notre Dame seem to believe that 2 for 1 deals are fair when setting up schedules, as if they're doing us a favor. Bergeron won't have anything to do with them. Not to mention, playing them would play havoc on our SOS this year.
      And that's exactly what we little schools need to do. 2 for 1? **** off. Good luck with filling your OOC games that you need a ton of.

        Because it's Wednesday? So glad Matt Wellens moved that way. Now I can get actual hockey news from UMD and not just whinertainment

          http://uahhockey.com/blog/2014/12/10...just-changing/ revises and extends my "we haven't had time to form rivalries" point. I can't really believe that's Dan's premise for arguing the change when there are so many better ones to be made.

          At the end of that piece, I posited that an interlock would be helpful. I've tried to do that once before, but two 10-team leagues are a darn sight easier to interlock than an 8-team and a 10-team (trust me, I spent four or five hours on it last summer).

                I had another bit about how the hot rivalries were in Michigan and Alaska, but I cut it for length (believe it or not, that piece was longer).

                  Fair enough, I'd have kept reading It was good read and length wasn't an issue for me.

                      I just saw that. Holy ****, Bruce Ciskie is a useless pile of dog ****. He's like college hockey's Hawk Harrelson.

                        He just said he prefers St Cloud in the NCHC over Notre Dame because he is "anti-plane" but he can't understand why people like Dan Myers and myself hate the change because we traded all these driveable road games for flights. He claims I can't say that because I'm not part of the team.

                          The guy is really a piece of work. The whole sport would be better off if he got hooked on basketball, or tennis or something a long ways away from the hockey world.

                            At least Ciskie is open about his opinion, yeah?

                                This was a great exchange:
                                @TBraunTHG - I don't feel as negative as @1DanMyers about the West dying but I'm passionate about #mtuhky
                                @BruceCiskie - Then be happy. They're having a great season so far.
                                @puckato - He’d love to but the NCHC keeps taking credit for their success
