I don't know that you are that extreme. You just described perfectly why I keep going back to Lynah. It's for the hockey, sure, but mostly it's about the friends and the atmosphere. It's an extended family. I would not give that up to try to force the team to do something that was relevant to the sport. The team is, kinda, an afterthought.

Many of us on here likely have these kinds of feelings for our teams as well. Figured college hockey fanatics could relate.

In all honesty I'd rather spend a weekend hanging out with college hockey fans of a team I don't root for than with professional sports fans of a team I do. One of the reasons I love Lake Placid so much is the old people from Clarkson and SLU and Dartmouth and god help me even Harvard who I sit down with, have a beer, and share memories of 80s games, and listen to some of them talk about games in the 50s.

This is the only community I've ever been part of that I could stand (and vice versa). It's my congregation.

The part I don't get is when a pro football fan wearing a jersey and baseball hat of his team, driving a car with 2 bumper stickers and a license plate holder, who just shelled out $6000 for season tickets asks me, "why would you fly back up to NY to see a hockey game?"

How does he NOT get that it's the same thing?

Happens all the time.

Crazy, isn’t it?

A little news today for B1G fans, Wisconsin at Northwestern in 2020 will be played at Wrigley Field.

The supposed #1 JUCO QB who joined Minnesota in January is transferring after one semester.
 
Re: College Football 2017-18: Now with more CTE!

From what I read, Minnesota is down to one scholarship QB on the roster, a redshirt freshman.

PAC-12 votes to forbid any 5-7 team from accepting a bowl bid, regardless of APR score

Fun fact I just learned: Cal counts 1882-1885 and 1906-1914 in their football records even though they played rugby instead, and admit so in the program.

I mean, I get they were very similar sports at that point, but it'd be like including your 100m sprint with your 100m hurdle records.

This seems like a poor business decision, doesn’t it? Don’t league members share bowl revenue?

Now, bowls do require participating schools to sell a certain allotted number of tickets, so unless that’s how teams are losing money, not sure why this makes sense..

Isn’t additional exposure for member schools important? (albeit a 5-7 team isn’t playing in a marquee matchup, but the networks still televise every game)

What about the 15 extra practices bowl eligible teams recieve and the extra development and opportunity for young guys to get more involved?

I thought teams < .500 were not permitted by the NC$$ to get bowl bids.

Notre Dame at 0-12 on the clock...
