Re: 2019-20 Michigan Tech Season Thread. Broetzman has us off to a Bliss-ful start!
First off, thanks for welcoming us into Houghton. Never been much of a 'you should see the fall colours' kind of guy but I have to admit the two towns overlooked by flourescent red, green and orange trees on either side of the river was truly beautiful. We were told to get to the game early but the entry of the band was still startling and great. You are really lucky to have such an amazing student section, band, arena and fan base.
The games were awesome and we were very happy to bear witness to the end of your your 16-game win dominance against Alaska! (end gloat). Pretty much followed Davyd83's advice and happily sauced up at DT and stuffed ourselves pre-game at the Ambassador (lines were too crazy to get into Suomi). Shout out to Clyde's in St Ignace. Still haven't been able fact check Houghton being the 'home of the first professional hockey player' but I'll take you on your word.
Oh yeah, Air Canada lost our luggage for a few days so our apologies to anyone who had to stand within sniffing distance of us during our visit.
Epilogue: After Houghton we ended watching Green Bay squeak out a win again the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Had a coffee and monster infused nightmarish freeway toll paying day getting from Green Bay to Pittsburgh. Played with the floating clouds at the Warhol museum in the afternoon then watched Crosby score a beauty against the Avalanche (3rd row seats behind the glass for $65???). Sat through Friday night's Penn/Alaska stinker (student section amazingly friendly before the game and merciless during) followed by the Saturday night Penn/Alaska beauty. Finished it all off with the Penn State/Michigan whiteout football game. Epic trip. Glad to be home. Hope to visit Houghton again. Go Nooks!
