After having read some of the threads, mainly about UNH, post regional play, I'm curious what most of you "hockey fans" feel about the following...it seems that there are some folks that feel that only by winning a NC does your hockey program attain any value....is this true? Do Sioux fans, or Wolverine, Terrier, Badger, Spartan, Pioneer, Black Bear, Red Hawk or Gopher fans react the same way that some of the UNH posters do? Should all coachs be as depised as Shannon Miller is of UMD, yet since she has won 5 NC's is she of more value than a respected decent coach? Has every program got to build a $5 million RECRUITING center as Rutgers has to attract the creme de la creme?
It's the old question of what price glory........as an old UNH'er, I was at Snively when the UVM game had crowds lined up past the NE center at 3 in the afternoon for a 7 o'clock game.....has the programs success spoiled so many people that only a NC will suffice to get today's fans to the games?
Why such vitriol from naysayers like Nick P., NCAA watcher, UNH1982, bilbb, et al? Is it not enough to have only Michigan with a longer appearance rate than UNH? If you guys KNOW the hockey community, you're aware of UNH's standing in the community......that's not enough?
In 2004, when Michigan, Cornell, and Minnesota shared the FF with us, which school's endowment was the biggast joke there? How many other school's have 1% of Alum giving back? As Got 6 noticed, SLU, RIT, and almost every other school we play has better financial backing than UNH.....
Kudo's to Got 6, chickod, irishfan, wild E, CHC and other posters for being amazed at what some saw this past weekend......what UNH did to Cornell, was done right back at them by RIT....does not RIT deserve credit for being the better team that night? Was it UNH that played badly or RIT that in 94 seconds took the game from them? What should Umile do? Be like Parker and have beet red faces every game? It didn't work for Bill Cleary and he was the master of such action......
Since being a fan, coming from the latin fanatic, (not) means that emotions are involved, I'll accept that I'm taking all the criticism poorly, but I'd just like to know how other school fans react when they have the resume that UNH has, yet it never seems to be enough.....thanks
