Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

Lifetime supply of 3 Musketeer bars?

No. To successfully bribe the Commissioner, you will need:

Death Wish Coffee- 5 lb bag
A case of St. Julian Social Butterfly
A case of Apothic Rosé
A mammoth jar of kosher dill pickles
New Holland Dragon's Milk
New Holland Passion Blaster
About a month's supply of Whole Earth Stevia/monk fruit sweetener
A loaf of brioche
A loaf of challah
Homemade raspberry jam
Industrial size jar of Nutella
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

In all likelihood, October's Top 6 will be:

1. RPI
2. SLU
3. UAA
4. Merrimack
5. Connecticut
6. Ferris State

We will see about a nerd school 99 miles northwest of Marquette...
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

But as I said, several Atlantic Hockey schools are in the Sludge 16. Sludge, because there's nothing sweet about them.

As some of them should be. It's just refreshing as a fan of an Atlantic Hockey team that the conference bottom doesn't rank at the top of the MARS rankings.

Let's just say it helps that teams like Merrimack and UConn are in way over their heads in Hockey East.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

And komey1, it REALLY helps that RPI, UAA, and SLU have been hot garbage for so long, they're preseason favorites every time I start the MARS system.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

Last year, we introduced Pillow Fight of the Week, featuring the suckiest teams squaring off against each other. This week, we have two Pillow Fights to watch:

UAA vs. Maine
UAH vs. Omaha

And holy shhhhh... Maine and Omaha were the far superior teams last night. This is why UAH and UAA are top 5 teams.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

October MARS will be out next week.

Plenty of WCHA, ECAC, and Atlantic Hockey teams. There will be representatives from the Big 7 and the Nacho too. And we may have a new entry into the top 5.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

1. Union
2. RPI
3. UAA
4. Ferris State
5. SLU(t)

The rest of the lowly 16 will be released tomorrow
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

I'd like to respectfully nominate the University of Illinois as host institution for all rounds of that other tournament. So much talk and so little action should be rewarded, IMO.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

Say what?

MissThundercat has been in physical therapy and 5-6 minute walks on the treadmill have been exhausting.

6. Sacred Heart
7. Colgate
8. Canisius
9. Merrimack
10. Daloot
11. Western Michigan
12. Lake State
13. Miami- the one in Ohio
14. Michigan State
15. Air Force
16. UConn

So right now, conference breakdown:

Big 7: 1
Hockey East: 2
ECAC: 4
Nacho: 3
WCHA: 2
Atlantic: 4

Could be an AH/ECAC showdown this year in the Futile 4.

This could be a theme. All the schools who have been profiled as a potential jump to D-1 hockey (Oakland U, Minnesota-Moorhead, St. Thomas, etc.) could be utilized.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2019-20: Timely Results Are For That "Other" Tournament.

I'm also going to lean on MissT and Fade for their input to the Northern Winter Solstice (NoWinS) midseason tournament field and host location in the coming weeks.
