    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Mirko missed 4 games with a concussion (and did not play much in his 1st game back), and Nemec missed 10. As for who else was out? Welsch was hurt. Halasz played 7 games in a row from late January into much of February (Maine, PC x2, BC, Merrimack, Vermont, UConn) and after the first few did not...

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    That wasn't what you said. You said they haven't been competitive in a "few seasons", and I pointed out that they were more than competitive for the 1st half of last season (before the injury bug hit them hard).

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    This team was 13-4-2 after Palm Springs last year, including wins over BU, UConn, and BC. But they weren't competitive. :rolleyes:

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Bad: This is the 5th time Lowell has been shutout in back-to-back games. Worse: The previous 4 times were among the 14 worst seasons in program history. 1991-92 (11-19-4 - 12th worst in program history) 2005-06 (14-20-2 - 14th worst in program history) 2010-11 (5-25-4 - worst in program...

    So you're saying that Andre Lee = Tom Brady?

    UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

    If 2 mediocre years and 1 bad year is what it takes to get rid of the most successful coach (in terms of winning percentage) that this program has had in the Division 1 era, then who do you think would be a good replacement and could do a better job? Not for nothing, but perhaps the constant...

    2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather

    Lowest central pressure is a more accurate way to determine a hurricane's strength. Using that, Melissa was tied for the 3rd strongest with the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, Wilma in 2005 and Gilbert in 1988 were stronger. (It would barely reach the Top 25 if it were in the Pacific) Accurate...

    7th largest, and 2nd largest for a home opener.

    UMass Lowell 2025-2026: Youth will be served

    Some stats that I found interesting: 1. The last time that Lowell started a season without a goalie that had previously suited up for Lowell was in 2014-15, when Lowell had Jeff Smith, Olli Kalkaja, and Kevin Boyle in net. Boyle, however, had spent the previous season sitting out as a transfer...

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    Actually, most of the forecasts are lowering amounts, because the system is even weaker than the models were originally showing. Most of the models are only showing 1-2" for New Orleans, with a few spots possibly getting 5" along the central Louisiana coast.

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    A few things to clarify here: 1. Not all storms that hit Louisiana impacted New Orleans. Likewise, storms that didn't make landfall in Louisiana have impacted New Orleans. 2. No, not all of the storms that produced 10" in New Orleans were tropical systems. 3. The NWS is forecasting 2-3" of...

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    Here's the thing, I'm talking about tropical systems in general, which yes, there have been hundreds. You're just talking times that New Orleans has received 10 or more inches of rain. There's a rather LARGE difference between my original statement, and your reply where you called me a liar...

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    You're right, there haven't been "hundreds" of tropical systems in the northern Gulf over the past century. Oh wait, yes there has. According to info from NOAA, Louisiana as a whole has had 221 different tropical systems (tropical depression or stronger) make landfall since 1851. That's just...

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    The Gulf Coast gets hit with tropical systems, either disorganized (like this one is now) or organized (as this one might be later in the week) several times every year. This one is no different than any of the other hundreds of systems to impact that region over the past century.

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    It's not "bastardizing it" since that is the literal definition of "1000-year flood" according to the USGS (https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-1000-year-flood), based on historical data. Just because we hear about it more in populated areas doesn't change how often it is happening. There could be...

    Climate Change: This Rock Will Soon Be Uninhabitable

    The term 1000-year flood is misleading. By definition, it means a flood that has a 1-in-1000 chance of happening in any given year. Since there are approximately 250,000 rivers in the US alone, there should be approximately 250 "1000-year floods" across the US in any given year.

    UMass Lowell 2024-2025 Season: Expectations are.....Expectations

    You're assuming that the school is going to suddenly give out 26 full scholarships. Just because it's allowed doesn't mean they will or that they can afford it. Also, as Will mentioned, other sports, such as Track and Field will be significantly impacted. Men's Track and Field had 88 men on the...

    UMass Lowell 2024-2025 Season: Expectations are.....Expectations

    My concern is the goaltending, with 3 freshmen this coming season, specifically how they hold up in the 2nd half. That was one of the biggest issues last season: Pre-Christmas: Welsch 8-2-1 2.55/.893 Halasz 2-2-1 2.16/.925 Team 10-4-2 2.4/.905 Post-Christmas: Welsch 3-6-0 2.90/.898 Halasz...

    UMass Lowell 2024-2025 Season: Expectations are.....Expectations

    Not sure where that came from. He played 2 years at NMU, then 1 year here. He should have 1 year of eligibility left.
