Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread
I've been to nearly every GLi since 1970, and almost always it was a top eastern team. The bringing in of western teams is not that attractive to me, as I'd much rather have a HE or ECAC team. Though I understand the attendance issue, I don't see DU drawing fans( I doubt Cc drew anyone two years ago) and it's hard for me to imaging hosting Denver and being polite. It's like hosting the guy who got your daughter pregnant, he might be a good guy but you are not happy with his act. Plus they hate traveling to Houghton, but Detroit is ok?, and why give them the publicity. If we have to have another Michigan team, lets have Ferris, (the WCHA teams need the help, the nchc not so much)
This might have to do with who was available but these three picks are not as good as the past teams if you ask me. Also it might be that the other hosts had something to say about it.
I think if Tech has better teams, more Tech fans will show up. In the recent past, routinely being embarrassed in front of your U of M co workers was less than fun.
