BTHC will pretty much kill the CCHA and it will put a big dent in the WCHA. CCHA is heavily slanted to Michigan and Michigan State. .

That is why the WCHA did a "first strike” we got 2 replacements for minny and madtown.
So we have 2 extra teams until 2014. I presume the CCHA is going wait until the last minute and try to get more teams to join, I bet UA_ will be tossed under the bus and have to pony up 25 plane tickets for all the new teams also.

uaafanblog made a post a while back basically saying that UAF and UAA would be smart to set aside the unpleasantries and work together to make sure we both have a solid future when the Big 10 happens, and I couldn't agree more. .

I see they took your lead w/ new ad …..Go to the rink and watch TV? After the “Super Bowl after party at the Carlson” fiasco. You wonder what the “UAF Think Tank” is doing I don’t think you will get more than 150 to show up for a $20.00 taco dinner and over priced beers. With all the money to rent the Carlson they could have had an all you can eat and drink at the dump for free. Watching hockey under the “big top” where all the old worn out couches are and digging for treasures during the TV timeouts and period breaks.

I also wonder if that would be an opportune time for UAF to move into what's left of the WCHA.

And the opportune time for UAF to join the WCHA has passed, as the door is slammed shut.
The Taco ad will be the dead bolt being securing that locked door.
 
Open Bar Night at the Pioneers Home?

From the UAA press release:

In the last 10 outings UAA leads, 7-2-1 ... since bench boss Dave Shyiak took the reins, the Seawolves are 9-5-2 against UAF

How does travel work in this series? Both teams fly to game two together right after the first game? Seperate after the first game? or the next morning?

UAA charters a plane for the series, either Alaska or Era. I don't know what UAF does but it is seperate as they don't really mix well.

Last I heard, for the last two years, the Seawolves took Era (if it was a charter as you say then it makes sense...it's probably way cheaper to charter an Era plane than Alaska Air) and UAF flew commercial on Alaska. But since the Fairbanks game isn't starting early this year, we might have
other arrangements. The last Alaska flight to Anchorage usually leaves FAI around 10:00 pm, and it's an often delayed Combi flight that comes down from the Slope.

You probably would have doubled the number of Anchorage fans in attendance if you were going.

And check your email, AH.

I see a scapegoat for your Basketball programs, both UA_ coaches can point a finger and boast well we are a little better than …..Caltech.
(Caltech ended its run of 310 consecutive losses in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic)

I could handle that but….. You are putting your fellow ‘nook fans in a insurmountable bind as they mostly operate on a cashless trade and barter survival existence.
 
Until our basketball teams prove they can beat the West Valley JV squads on a regular basis I'm not counting thumpthump smack talk.

As for our arrangement, if you're willing to accept potential payment in blubber then we have a deal.

If it’s this year’s fresh Blubber I’ll give you your preference of either some barbequed salmon lips. Or 2 pint jars of fresh caribou eyes.
If trying to pawn off freezer burned 5 year old bottom of the freezer blubber, I’ll will go 3 lbs of last year’s hooligan frozen in a leaky Safeway plastic bag, and toss in a spawned out male humpy frozen whole. That’s the best I can do.

mmf... we have a side bet on the G C do you want get in on the action?

When your Women's Volleyball team may be the only one to gain a victory over UAA, things look bleak.

On the whole, UAF's athletic department is looking bad. What's going on?

Serious answer for a serious question...

Hockey, rifle, and skiing are fine. Ironically Yoda's evil twin did us a lot of good because if he hadnt gotten fired, Dallas never would have been hired. Men's basketball has been in the toilet since Sokaitis left (or was forced out, depending on who you talk to). I don't like dogging one of our coaches but I don't think Clem Johnson is the answer. I'll freely admit that I don't think we have a prayer in Anchorage tonight.

Women's bball has had no stability for several years, which I think is most of the problem there.

Don't know enough about volleyball to comment.

Our athletic department needs to become more innovative to be viable as a whole. Stop raising hockey ticket prices and run more promos to get the casual fans in the Carlson. There are 3,000 that will show up no matter what, but figure out how to get an extra 1,000 in there night in and night out. And, get the CC security staff to lighten up and let the students be students. Personally I'd like to see hockey move back to campus, but we are a long way off from that.

Fix basketball and turn it back into a campus event. The Patty can hold 2,000 and some games we get 10% of that. Ridiculous.

Travel costs are ridiculous. We have GOT to have a better partnership with Alaska Airlines on that issue. My worry is that nobody has bothered to ask. Getting a better hold on travel costs will help the bottom line. Or, at the very least, sell the naming rights to the Patty Center.

There's your serious answer. And hint: v-ball isn't the only one that's going to beat Anchorage this week. Alaska Hockey is going to have to dig out the caribou eyeballs to make good on his promise.
 
We're talking fresh walrus blubber. The oosik industry has been good.
