Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Tempe is a great town, and if you're under 30, you may really enjoy the heck out of it. The folks that travel in college hockey are typically over 30, and they'll probably enjoy a small town. That said, I wish we had a decent airport within 30-45 like ASU does in Sky Harbor.
They'll actually be southernmost, too. We lose that distinction in October.

You really have problems when other people express their opinion. Internet forums are just not the best place for you. And the outskirts of Toledo are about 5 miles up 75 from BG. Downtown Toledo might be 25 minutes but the city isn't. And again, it's a craphole that dumps craploads of organic effluent into Lake Erie ... so much so that you can see the massive algae blooms from space.
And I could give a rats arse what anyone's opinion of Anchorage is based on. I'm not offended by other people's opinions like you are.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
stop making stuff up.
your "about 5 miles" is actually 15 miles to the southern edge of greater Toledo (across the river and in a different county), with a whole lot of rural in between. Only somebody who's never actually set foot in NW Ohio would confuse BG with Toledo.
The Lake Erie effluent is mostly fertilizer runoff from farm fields, draining from multiple river basins in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. We've got a bunch of farms 'round here, Sparky. Blaming it on Toledo is just bizarre. No idea where you get your opinions about NW Ohio (and don't give a rat's ***), but they're not based in fact.
But you're the guy who likes to rant about how the Midwest shouldn't be called the Midwest, so guess we shouldn't be surprised.

Exactly. ASU isn't exactly thought of as top flight academic school, at least least not on the level of a John Hopkins.

If I can find a decent hotel, a place to have a good meal, a chance to catch some college hockey and a place to have a beer and chat about the game with fans, it must be a decent town, whether Houghton or Fairbanks or Omaha or Bowling Green or Huntsville. They all have something positive to experience. Welcome to our new brethren in Tempe. Can't wait to enjoy your town too!

Plus the Mexican food is awesome. Second best in the country behind CA.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
It isn't my hometown, but I have lived here since January of 1990, after living in Kansas City for 27 years and Chicago before that. It is a much nicer place to live than you might think. The amount of money that is here in a metro of 875,000 is unreal. That is because it is home to five Fortune 500 companies and another 5 that are in the Fortune 1000 and who those companies are. FWIW, it is much more like Chicago than it is Kansas City. If you saw my brand spanking new $189,000, 3 bedroom, 3 full bath with finished basement walk-out ranch, just shy of 3,000 square foot house, that I bought here in early 2007 I think you might be much more complimentary. Very inexpensive place to live. An amazing amount of house for the money.
Surprisingly lousy restaurant town, though. We hate the politics here, too. Omaha is a place people usually get promoted and sent away from and, not to, like I was.
Great, great hockey town. One of the more surprising single things I found out about it after moving here and I wasn't a hockey fan when I did.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
You kneecap your argument by touting the cheap housing. Housing is cheap in places where there's low demand. Where is there low demand? Crappy places where nobody wants to live.
Having lived in cheap housing in Ft. Worth and Wichita, I can absolutely say I am much happier paying almost 7x as much per square foot where I live now.

You lost me when you compared Omaha to Chicago....hilarious! Spent plenty of time in Omaha, doesn't even hold a candle to Hartford!
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
It's "neighborhoodsy" the same way that Chicago is. Kansas City isn't like that, at all.
Politically, Omaha is nothing like Kansas City OR Chicago, which are both staunchly unionized, for one thing, something Omaha definitely is not. This is one of the "reddest" states in the entire country.
I've never been to Hartford so I can't speak to that, but, seriously, Omaha has more of an Chicago vibe than a Kansas City one, that's all I was trying to say.
I grant you that few people, if any, wake up in the morning, roll over, and say to their husband or wife, "You know, honey, how come we aren't living in Omaha?"
Having been here for some time, though, it isn't as bad as you'd think. Our hockey team doesn't suck.

Michigan-ASU will be a B1G series in a couple years. No doubt.

From my experience with Union Pacific, I can confirm there is a ton of money in that town...lots of old money.

Omaha is a great place to live. Did you live in South O?
Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
No kidding.
Omaha is the headquarters to these Fortune 500 companies:
1. The largest railroad in the world.
2. One of the world's largest packaged foods companies.
3. The largest construction company in the world.
4. The 10th largest insurance company in the Unites States.
5. And, the 7th largest business in the entire country (and the 17th largest in the world), owned by the 3rd richest person on the planet, who lives here along with his heirs.
To say nothing of companies numbered 621, 736, 762, 795 and 924 of the Fortune 1000 all being HQ'ed in Omaha, as well. All in a town of 875,000.

Yeah, there are a couple of bucks here. It's a big reason why Omaha has some things that not many city's this size have.
These corporation's fingerprints are everywhere in this town including on UNO's new arena.
