      And then the shootout took 20+ rounds. That was Exhibit A in the case of why we should not have shootouts in college.
      That was quite the shootout.

        IF you're talking rental cars from PHX, Southwest.com has a deal going on right now for that. I don't know what size car. I have a friend who's going there for a completely different reason that also got that same pricing, and he mentioned that he'd booked it with his airfare.

          The price goes up in the winter. When it's 110 degrees, it's cheap.

            True, but keep in mind, we were playing one of the top teams in the country last night.

            I just used Travelocity but it looks like it went up. $100 for three days still pretty cheap. Also a travel tip, most sites use cookies. So the more you run a search, the web sites bump up the prices. Try deleting all cookies and then search again and see if the price drops back down.

                I did not get a chance to look closely enough at the intrasquad game, but during the MPS they were talking about CJ Eick playing center. Anyone else notice this or any other interesting positions for players? Where did the new guys play? Blacklock, E. Anderson, Lucchini, Jackson, Boeing?

                  If anyone has an interest in a very unique, and low cost Tech jersey, there is a 1994 GLI prototype jersey being offered for sale. This is not my jersey, but I know the seller (his name is Kurt). I inspected the jersey in person over the weekend. I would have grabbed it for myself, but I already have an identical one in my collection. Other than the number 94, this is identical to what the players wore on the ice and the players kept their jerseys so you will likely never see an actual game jersey offered.

                    What did people think of WCHA.tv? I thought it was pretty much the same, so hopefully not a step backwards at all this year.

                      It ran for the whole second half and shootout without a single lag, buffer, or blip airplayed to my brother's AppleTV from my iPhone on his wifi. This is a BIG improvement.

                        I still can't understand why Tech, with all of this money invested in the new board and video system the last two years, can't seem to produce a near HD-quality feed like that school in Marquette.

                        But hey, I can see the puck, and the replays are pretty clear. And it's not like Bemidji or Mankato's feeds were much clearer. I guess I'll just pretend I'm watching a game from the 80s that's been upconverted from VHS to DVD?

                          Don't judge the feeds by the regular season. The big thing about pushing HD is having the bandwidth between the arena and the CDN. That's UAH's (first) problem.

                            Don't you have some pull to allow UAH to piggy back on your employers fiber pipeline for the game feeds?

                              I get that, but I look at the quality of NMU's feed, and I reject it as an excuse. The Institution has spent millions renovating the Mac since my senior year, and it seems like they could have found some money to fix a simple bandwidth problem. Clearly I'm either underestimating the cost of this project, or it is a broader problem with the local fiber/other equipment that would have to be addressed with whoever owns the lines. If it's the latter, I (grudgingly) understand.

                                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.
