Yeah!!!! Hardly, that last thing I am going to have is a life like three dimensional likeness of you in my closet.

Be careful Donald. I don't think he is willing to settle for less than the real thing! :eek:

You can't force someone to live in your closet Goon. It's just not cool. :rolleyes:
 
Re: CCHA teams will join WCHA

Maybe I should reverse the name of the thread. If Bowling Green joins, that's 5 from the CCHA and 4 from the WCHA.

The only thing left of the WCHA will be the name. Most of the current WCHA will be the NCHC, and most of the new WCHA will be the CCHA.
 
Re: CCHA teams will join WCHA

Now that we have a better idea of who will be in the WCHA. Who will be the first new team to win the McNaughton Cup?

The way this off-season has gone ... Probably an unnamed team who is not at all in the mix to join the WCHA as of today.

well I would guess 2013-14, MTU, NMU, BSU, UAA and UAF are the likely candidates but 2 of those have on it before...and so has Bowling Green.
 
Re: CCHA teams will join WCHA

BGSU has been given extension until October 7th on making a decision whether or not to join the WCHA. The need for an extension leads me to believe that they are seriously considering folding their program. Unfortunately, I don't if remorse will be able to overcome the NCHC's ego if college hockey loses a former champion.

Will the Mavs have a team by then?:(

I think we might last as long as five years, but I'd be very surprised if it goes any longer. I know too many regulars who already haven't renewed for this year because they think the program is a "dead man walking," and others who have told me they definitely won't renew for the "new WCHA."

You're going to blame Bowling Green on the NCHC too? How?

You think they would've been better off in a post-Big 10 CCHA? They were already struggling, and that conference wouldn't have left them much of a lifeline either.

Um, they ultimately destabilized the conferences that caused BGSU to reconsider their commitment to their program due to being relegated to a weaker conference.

So you think the new-WCHA is weaker even than the post-Big 10 CCHA?

I think you've bought into the "NCHC is picking off all of the 'elite' programs" kool aid more than I have.

Be sure not to tell the falcon fans since they aren't even considering that as a possibility.

IF the WCHA and CCHA stood firm as they were without the B1G schools it is quite obvious that the new WCHA is weaker than the post-B1G CCHA. No Notre Dame, no Miami...where is there a program left in the new WCHA that has current success of those 2? Sure BSU has been to the F4 and NMU has made the tournament but thats it.

I have that feeling too. Everyone talks about the "funding" that BGSU has received, but it's earmarked for the Building, and ALL skating programs (figure skating, hockey, etc.).

Hockey can fold and the funding, contrary to what is rumored here, will continue to BGSU.
