Quoting this to give props, JJ is solid when it comes to a business transaction. Bought a jersey this week, and it's glorious.

Still have a week before the season starts...

If anybody is bored this weekend go count the number of seats taken for Friday and Saturday WCHA playoff games on buyhuskiestickets.com. This should be representative of how many season tickets there are. As always. show your work.

Here's two Tech articles for those that missed it. Who's starting the 2015-16 Season thread?

Oh, and if the Tech contingent wants to take a little bit of a NASA tour, I can arrange that.

We were going to do it this year, but the Arizona tourney was too unique to pass up for the long trip of the year. We'll be down to Huntsville soon though.

I can't fault you for that! You'll be here again next year, too.

I know, but I'm old enough to still find it amazing. Very cool job.

BTW Tech Fans, Huntsville is a good trip to take. Nice town, good restaurants, history, arena and space stuff, pretty settings, hotel that connects to arena. We were impressed.

There have been at least two human beings not on the planet since 2000-11-02. It's my job to help make sure that they have something to do.

uh, that still gave me a tingle. I have a space pinging app on the phone that sends alerts for ISS, meteors, northern lights, satellites, etc. Old enough to still find it all amazing. People circling the planet every day. who would have thought? and it doesn't even make the news.

GFM <— got his schedule today and will work a couple of midnight shifts after a couple of UAH home games this year.

Thumbs up to the athletic department for putting together a series preview video with improved production values.

I should have written it as "commanding to the ISS", which is quite a bit different. I was under supervision and should be certified right before Thanksgiving (which may conflict with attending home games, but I'm trying).

Wait a minute...are you saying you were in charge of the International Space Station last night? You said it non-chalantly...

It's a little more important that we get good video download from space, man. The problem isn't UAH's but really the VBC's. UAH was supposed to be paying for a dedicated feed for video, but ... I think that the product last year speaks to whether or not that happened.

GFM <— just got home from an off-nominal night commanding the ISS ... everything's okay, though

Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

So I probably should save this if we do restart THG but I looked at Tri-City's roster and there are only 6 players on the roster that aren't committed to D1 hockey or have played major juniors. Of those, 3 players played in the Storm's first game. Of those 3, only one got point but he is also the oldest, James Gobetz. The other 2 both played for greater detroit teams so obviously Billy had his eye on them for MTU. Those two forwards are Robert Kaiser (5/9/97) and Paul Washe (11/27/98) so I'd keep your eye on those two players.

i wasn't far off, Bobby Kaiser commited to Western Michigan yeaterday...
