    Couldn't get at the article due to paywall restrictions Felgie, but some local business acquaintances have recently told me how the Chittenden County DA race (Democrat primary) between the "progressive" incumbent and a more by-the-book challenger from a neighboring county has seen VT's...

    Not nearly as well as the Biden Crime Family's business during President Magoo's reign 😂

    Good to see they're keeping MS7 off the mean streets of Portsmouth during the winter break, while helping him pad his CV for his next job

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    What a concept ... a D-1 Head Coach taking some time to talk about his job and offer insights into how he approaches doing things. Amazing. (y) I hope this news does not spread down to Titletown, I'd hate to see MS7 have his 6 month vacation interrupted with some fan liaison malarkey ...

    I believe you are correct. Harvard/Babson with an honorary degree at NEC, but long-time resident of NH.

    Roller hockey at the professional level was briefly a thing around the turn of the century, especially in the mid-1990's. And James Richmond wasn't even close to the best UNH alum to strap on a pair of in-line skates and give it a shot in RHI. One of our illustrious associate head coaches was...

    Actually, I think you nailed it. I was discussing this earlier today (off board) with another regular poster, and we called it the "Save MS7's Job" project lol 😂 FWIW ... I doubt the new AD will be as gullible as his predecessor was, so like you said, at the very least, it's a nice boost to...

    I think you the committee made a wise pick. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Any concerns he might be a flight risk if he's successful in Titletown? I mean, that's a small "problem" if it's based on at least medium-term success, hopefully his varied background for a...

    Love the super rare Pele/Beckenbauer/Cosmos mention, kudos for thinking outside the box. However ... although soccer got a nice temporary bump in the late 1970's from the Cosmos era NASL, that was pretty centralized to New Jersey, which already had a latent soccer market in place, and the sheer...

    I think the term is (or used to be) "loss leader". Worth it only if they build upon the investment. Otherwise, it's just a one-time line item on an annual budget.

    I don't fault Penn State for taking a shot at McKenna - totally ambitious, and obviously they were a program on the rise before he got there. But staying only the one year, I'd be hesitant to give him too much (if any?) credit for what happens afterwards. Also, there were some distractions...

    Gotta admit, the compliance thing was the first thing that jumped out at me, too. Had heard some vague rumblings but no specifics recently. Hope we find out soon if there is any fire behind the potential smokescreen. I guess the modern-day complexities of all things NCAA is behind this...

    While on the topic of prominent UNH Hockey donors ... TDL just secured the much sought after CD1 endorsement from 45-47 today. His GOP primary competitor is a fellow Effingwoods-ian (LOL) and she probably had a terrible, super awful day with that news, since she was hoping she'd get that nod...

    Jeezus ... Kroggie has got to be 50+ years old now ... how the F did that happen, him passing me in age lol :D :D Good for him, genuinely excited for this news. Good kid, hard worker during his time at UNH, made a decent NHL career, now back in the NHL, close to home.

    He's kind of an odd duck ... someone close to me has a business affiliation with him, thinks he's a good guy, but also has a tendency to ramble.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend. Encountered this interesting but extended read on the 1981 effort by the B's to move to Salem NH ... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09523367.2025.2486663#abstract Remember a lot of this stuff as if it were yesterday. All this was...

    I see Watcher's signature block has added another line ... the latest in a long line of frustrating sub-par seasons for the program we all love. Always great to see you on here, Watcher. Hopefully with a looming "changing of the guard", we'll see you (and others) way more often! :)
