This would be a nice turnaround for the team after yesterday's debacle ...
and US Senator-elect - it's been a busy week in these here parts) didn't much care whether or not ASFU won or tied the game - that's never been the point. These games had been put on the UNH schedule for one reason - wins. Those haven't happened even close to frequently enough, and it's increasingly clear that UNH itself is trending strongly into "cupcake" territory themselves, despite what can be charitably described as a just-under-.500 record so far this season. Beyond professional pride, WIS prognosticators also take zero satisfaction at nailing Sunday evening's 3-3 result in last Wednesday's prediction. It's just the latest lost opportunity TBH.
after this past weekend's games. WIS has now deemed that The Quest will be downgraded to The Quast if UNH's form in these cupcake games can't be reversed, and quickly.

But the Football 'Cats set the tone for the rest of the weekend, when they gacked up a double digit lead to lose to the Patroons (or whatever) and see their record fall to 6-4-0. Visions of that showcase ESPN8 home playoff game vs. the West Idaho State Spudsmen (or whatever) are now clearly in jeopardy, as UNH Football will have to go on the road to the Downeast and face the Football Black Bears, who are also vying to make the D-2 playoffs. It appears that only one of those two teams will qualify, so there's really no question that since the Flying Dutchmen (or whatever) ditched the 'Cats on Saturday afternoon, BS35+4 has been at full-time panic stations with no time to worry about much of anything else. If Coach Umile can right the ship with a little help from Coach McDonnell extending him some cover - this time with wins, and not an avoidable clutch loss - and get his team back to or above .500 for the Cornell game at MSG and BS35+4's next hockey-centric moment, he may actually escape the consequences of the historically devastating loss to ASFU. Coach may have to burn one or two of his nine lives to get it done, but the betting here is it works.
