You are absolutely correct, at least for the upcoming year. After next year.....?

Or the year after. Coach Whitehead is in this for the long haul........he is on the verge of turning this program into something special. Home games vs. AIC is just the start. He will win a National Championship within 3 years........you heard it here first!

How much were season tickets? I assume you received no discount for buying in bulk... that would make too much sense.

Perhaps. My opinion is that he needs to demonstrate significant improvement in the final year to receive a contract extension, otherwise he is gone. What constitutes significant improvement will be determined by whoever the AD is.

Again...you paint with a broad brush. I support the team, wholeheartedly and 100%. Those kids have worked hard for 15 years to get to the level they are playing and they deserve our support and the very best coaching to allow them to develop to the next step in their career. They don't get that from TW. I do NOT support TW. If I were truly anonymous, I would not have my email available.
I have and do volunteer at soup kitchen(s), food cupboards and through the United Way. My energy gets channeled where it will do the best for my community and my family.
Abbott will do what he feels is best for the University and for the Hockey Program. NOW...when you are on National Television with two empty rows behind your home bench and crowd pans (you know, when they show the stands for "all those fans") that show a 2/3 to 3/4 capacity crowd that does NOT match what the university "officially" publishes for attendance...when people I know who have been, in the past, season ticket holders tell me they will not get tickets again until Timbo is history (many more than one)...when you lose not only the ticket revenue, but also the additional concession and memorabilia revenue (they call this the "big picture")...you have to ask yourself...what is best for the Program...for the University? What are the potential downsides to either scenario...? If you have the answers to all of these questions, then maybe you need to apply for the AD position...otherwise, stop smoking whatever it is you are buying on the street corner and take a bite of the reality-cake that has been set before us all.

Very well said. I think the issue of lack of enthusiasm around the program is almost bigger than the team's performance. It's hard to even believe that they could have a weekend series against a hockey east team where the arena is at best half full, which is what happened this year for the UVM series.

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Maine fans are going to have to stop talking negatively about Coach Whitehead and the program........or it will start driving recruits away. Don't think that they they don't read these message boards and think to themselves.......why the heck would I go to a place where the fans are so negative and put so much pressure on the team to win?

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Everyone just don't botehr to get outraged by sandy. He's not being serious, but sarcastic. His line about helping the poor and volunteering at soup kitchens was nothing more than a swipe at TIMMAY, who said much the same thing during a WABI interview a couple years ago asking him about the critics of the program, and the grumblings in the air.
TIMMAY Antoinette basically said "let them eat cake".

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
Not outraged...even a little... kinda like serving up a nice fastball right after the catcher tells you "it's coming right down the middle"...Sandie puts it over the plate, and we knock it out of the park...

Re: Maine 2012-2013 Fade to Black
In all fairness to Jimmay, he did lose 2 recruits to Boston Cuniversity in Gaudreau and Matheson whom I believe are qualified or at least dignified as elite prospects in Jerwy York's book. Jerwy, however, has not been able to do much with Jimmays lost recruits.....the inevitable then is Monty>Jerwy.
But, in fairness to Jerwy, the man IS older than dirt and not getting any younger.

Uh, yes? But I don't know if all bear does. I mean, that is the post I was responding to (the one right before mine).
