Originally posted by hawerchuk View PostSorry Davyd83, I couldn't help myself . Quibbling a bit here but I think the appropriate response would have been to substitute Montgomery for Tuscaloosa, otherwise well played. I'll go bug the folks on the Michigan Tech forum to find out what we should do when we visit Houghton on Oct 11th and 12th.
I did want to say that I am a Canadian and just started following U.S. college hockey in the last couple of years. I've found the passion, civility, comedy and fan support on this forum (particularly on the WCHA pages) really refreshing compared to the Canadian pro and junior hockey equivalent where folks tend to be absolutely losing their minds about the coaches, gm's, players etc. on their favourite teams (who knows, maybe y'all save that kind of energy for football).
As for Houghton,!being an area native: KBC, B&B and the DT for beverages, Ambassador for their world famous pizza and Suomi Bakery for breakfast!Last edited by davyd83; 09-20-2019, 12:23 AM.

I've decided those 7 schools are going to get the nickname, " The cowardly 7" I figure you all will know who I mean.

Not much to do in Lansing. I would suggest East Lansing's HopCat for beer and their *Crack* fries. Crunchy's if you like burgers and college vibe.
Edit, Hawerchuk, you have me all confused. If you are going to see University of Alaska (Fairbanks) play Michigan Tech, you would be in Houghton, MI, not Lansing. They are 8-10 hours apart by car, depending on how you drive.
If you are in Lansing, Old Town is nice for a bit. Generally East Lansing has more going on.Last edited by Lost_Husky; 09-19-2019, 02:16 PM.

Originally posted by Lost_Husky View PostLOL. Don't worry. Us smaller schools are very defensive about being lumped in with the larger in state schools. We always have to inform people that our university exists, where it's located, and yes, they focus on academics, except Northern Michigan.
Minnesota State's older alumni can't get the name of the school right.
