    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    FU17 Re FoH.... The coach has to want to participate. Show up to events glad hand the friends. Take a chance to get some hard questions, they were all softballs. The only time MS7 wants that sort of exposure is when he is hunting a new contract. Part of his job, he doesn't do, is fan...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    My constant counter point aligns with what Dan keeps saying or what UNH experienced in the early 90's or what Maine just did with Ben Barr. You win first and then you get the money. Look at Maine's hockey budget before Barr started winning. It was less then UNH. Want money start winning...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Yes and most colleges are talking about NIL donations. This is going to make it harder still to climb as people give to winners (not whiners).

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    There is an excellent article out there some place on Alfond and Dexter shoe - maybe the Alfond Foundation website (?). I found it years ago doing something else, google search gone sideways. From memory Alfond had essentially retired (from shoes) and the state of Maine (maybe with the feds...

    So undrafted... wonder how San Jose "found" him. Scout? some 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon link? Great for him.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Dan - I have missed you... and this, this is how you fix programs. I had spotted Miami OH basketballs record this year and figured you were enjoying. It is rarely "if you build it they will come". It is go find somebody who believes they can sell ice to Eskimos and when they start turning it...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Acceptance of of the current situation. UNH has a coach that doesn't care if he wins or loses, the competitive fire is gone (if it ever was there as a coach). MS7 is happy to cash his check and knows he has at least another year.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Thanks NCAAWatcher and those post from a few pages back about really good long time UNH posters having disappeared from this message board. This is why. They are the sane ones. It is also why I generally disappear for long periods of time, other things to do that are fun and do not cause...

    That sure is a winners attitude.... Our guy sucks but hey what would we do... My simple reply, Ben Barr's first contract was for?

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I agree that UNH has some smaller players (as do most teams) and that was true in the past as well. On the other hand, Newcombe, MacDonald, MacPherson are neither small or play small games. Lavins isn't tiny and plays a very hard game, unfortunately his body is not a durable as his mind...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    As Grouch notes it is a feature of the MS7 years. Paul Chapman has been the strength and conditioning coach for 24 years (which includes plenty of NCAA runs) so I don't think it is that program. Conditioning sucks. Nobody loves dry land practice, stadium stairs, etc. that all start with off...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Yup this is when things get dicey. The Uconn announcers had an interesting note 2 games back when UNH was hanging around, I will add my exceptions/notes in parenthesis. Essentially, if UNH could find offense they would be freaking scary (plus keep their legs all game). They play a hitting and...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    ding, ding, ding Those "super regionals" were fantastic experiences. They could fix the current 4 site mess. Already they are doing Thurs & Sat or Fri & Sun regionals. I have always wanted a 3 day 8 team super regional - Day 1 - 1 vs 16 early game, 8 vs 9 late game, Day 2 - 4 vs 13 early...

    Some on here don't remember the old days before the message board. I really think it had mostly calmed down by the time this place arrived Umile standing on the dasher in front of the bench. Walsh grabbing sticks from the spares on the bench and throwing them on the ice Parker one night...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    This is what bothers me the most and Norbert is correct the $30M from rooms and meals is an idiotic reduction. Education is the single best investment that can be made and it does have to be sensible education more Engineers and Scientists, as a society we only need so many art history and fine...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    you can put 2 and 2 together and get 4. You know emily goes to the games based on her posts. She probably has gotten to know the family or friends of the family or may even know the player since before UNH. What she knows is what those people have said. Maybe how much he has always loved the...
