2010-11 Schedules

Re: 2010-11 Schedules

That's not what I was implying at all. AIC has a conference, and, as such, can get an NCAA-qualifying number of games. UAH, without a conference, is afforded no such guarantees.

Good point. And yes, it is great that UAH was able to not only get games, get some quality opponents as well. Now I hope you run the table as what I will declare as my 3rd favorite team (behind RIT and Miami)

Speaking of UAH, when was it announced that they're playing a pair of games at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville?

They announced it the same time they announce Luongo as head coach:
Announcement

In conjunction with this announcement, UAH Athletic Director Jim Harris announced that the team would play Merrimack in Nashville this season as part of a double-header with the Nashville Predators. This series will take place Friday, January 14, 2011 and Saturday, January 15, 2011, with the Saturday afternoon game as the double-header. The Predators will host the 2010 Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in the Saturday night game.

Well remember.. when you have a coach that hasn't had a winning season since 93-94.. not too many teams want to play a team in which the administration doesn't want to search for new coaching talent.

I'm still calling for the return of Coach Thornton.

While I haven't had put a lot of time behind the mike (i'm a stats guy for hockey).. I can get a hold of our color guy and see what I can do.

Re: 2010-11 Schedules

I remain skeptical. My hopes were so high last year and then whatever his name was disappeared and weaseled out on the bet. Until that jersey is in my hands, I won't believe it.

Was he a big Hurricane's fan? If so.. I think I know who he is and I can get it out of him.

When you don't have a conference schedule, you're not forced to play patsies. Unfortunately, other teams tend to want to treat you as their patsy, but we think we're more Patrick than Patsy.

GFM <-- not Nancy.

It's a lost cause. This giblet head has given a bad name to the other three AIC fans.

i understand what is going down, just thought that was a great schedule, given the circumstances

Oh, absolutely. I think it helps that the fMAAC plays a very insular schedule ... we didn't have much chance to play games against inferior opponents.

Just because you mentioned Patsy....

Ah, runnin' away, eh? You yellow b*****ds, come have at ya! I'll bite ya legs off!

With a schedule like that, do well, and you may find yourself in the CCHA real soon. BTW, is UAH eligible for an at-large?

I just realized i hate America.... 11 hours from DC to Nashville?!?! It doesn't look that far on a map How come these things are so far away

AIC Broadcaster... if you could get an active black market for AIC jerseys that'd be swell.

I've given up on securing a UConn jersey. Seems they only give them to Baltimore-based confectioners.

Why wouldn't they be? They just don't have an auto-bid to help them.

I only asked because, in some cases, independents aren't afforded the potential privilege. Granted this is usually where a team either is just starting or is moving up from one of the lower college levels; I haven't seen a team get forced back to independent due to a folding conference.

Independents who are not on an NCAA probationary period for having changed divisions are postseason eligible. UAH's last year of D-I ineligibility was 1998-1999.

I've told anyone who'll listen that going .500 with the schedules that UAH will see as an independent will get them serious at-large consideration.
