UM jumped back into TUC status tonight, which is why I think we were bumped to 10T.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
So, what would be the likelihood of me picking up four general admission tickets at the BGSU Ice Arena's box office roughly one hour prior to the start of the Saturday game against the Falcons?
I mean, I know BGSU's been drawing around 2,500-ish per-game, but is their any likelihood that their attendance would suddenly explode for their senior night?

Iffy. If it were anything other than senior night ... we were there last year for same and the place was packed.

I was there on senior night in '06-07'...I had a whole row to myself. It is always hit or miss down there. I think your chances of hitting are very good though based on their average attendance this season.

Ferris Statehas clinched a fifth place spot in the CCHA. At worst Ferris can tie Michigan for 4th place, but the Wolverines would go ahead in the standings because of Conference wins. So Ferris would be in 5th place with home ice advantage.
All the 'Dawgs need is 1 point, a shootout lose, and they will clinch first round bye in the CCHA.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
We have not had a true sellout in 7 or 8 years. I'd be SHOCKED if you'd have trouble getting a ticket at the door, even on senior night.
A word of advice, especially if you only want general admission tix...don't, repeat DON'T go in through the main entry gate...with any kind of crowd at all it's always a total cluster****. Go to the back gate, at the NE corner of the building (across from the baseball field). They have GA tix for sale there, but nobody ever comes in that way expect for the players comp tix and the savvy season ticket holders.
Another piece of advise. There's a high school regional swim meet going on all day just across the street, and a men's basketball game that will be getting out about the time you're arriving. Traffic and parking will be brutal, especially on Mercer Rd. between Wooster St. and Stadium Dr. Get off I-75 at the main (only) BG exit (Wooster St, SR 105) but don't come all the way down to Mercer Rd...instead, turn right off Wooster St at the first light (Burger King) like you were going to the football stadium, then veer RIGHT and go around the back side of the stadium. This will bring you in to the back side of the arena, and the overflow lot between the softball field, the soccer field and the NE corner of the ice arena (which is where you want to enter, anyway.) When you leave the game, 99% of the traffic will want to turn left and go back to Mercer Rd...go the other way, and follow the way you came in, back around the football stadium, and you'll be back on I-75 before the car that was ahead of you in the lot has reached Mercer Rd.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
So yesterday in my Biochem class, my professor took a little break to mention our win over Ferris on saturday as well as our victory over Canada a couple nights ago and then had this joke: In what way is the UofM hockey team most like the Titanic?
Answer! They both look great until they hit the ice. HAAARRRRR!!!!

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
Ok guys...not enough chatter here. Let's get things going again.
How do you guys think the dynamics of this team have changed with the return of Jay Sprague? He has been back on the ice long enough to be reconditioned and he has the experience to step in and make an immediate impact.
I would like to see Sprague jump onto a line with Rowe and Levielle. He has the perfect size to compliment that pair and has good hands to help create greater opportunities near the net.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
Sorry dude3, CHATJ and CCHAFan just sorta left me speechless. I think Sprague stepping in is happy/sad news. I so looked forward to this guy's nasty play around the net and his size maybe helping us out next year, but what a great guy to help us out in stretch run and into the playoffs.
I also believe Saturday's win was helped by just getting back on home ice and getting our legs back. Sprague added some additional spark. I'm glad too that for the most part we went back to what has worked in the past in terms of lines.
Bowling Green has started to find some chemistry and is dangerous. It's happened the last 3 years and I hate to say it but we seem to lay an egg in the last / couple game/s of the regular season. (Ohio State in '06, BGSU in '07, and of course last year when what we thought was the worst team made us look like a jr. team down there on their senior night).
I hope the guys remember two things - NO stupid penalties and NO lazy play in our own zone!

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
It might be. I'm about 13 credits away from graduating, and I really don't know what I'm doing over the summer.
I'd like to stick around for another year - primarilly because the job market's kind of non-existant for JRN majors right now, and I'd like to further embellish my GPA and transcript for grad school - but the money's not there.
In other words, maybe... There's a high likelihood that it is.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
Well in that case, allow me to give you a stick salute via this post...you have been a great ambassador for Spartan Hockey as you have captained the student section the last few years.
I grew up in Munn Arena and have been spoiled to have the opportunity to have a 75% attendance record since I was born in '84 (I'm 'that guy' that has every ticket stub from forever). I understand exactly how much this program means to you, and I salute your dedication.
I look toward to your grand finale...

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
I know the News-Miner's rife with MSU grads, but I'm loooking more toward radio or some other form of broadcast.
That, and I've never liked Fairbanks for reasons that are apparent in my sig.
The Anchorage area - Mat-Su, the city, Eagle River - would be cool, but it's not a straight-outta-college destination. Juneau would be boring yet awesome.
Anywhere else in the country would be cool, too, for that matter.

Re: Michigan State 2009-2010
FYI: In addition to honoring their senior class, BG will also honor a very special guest Saturday night, Falcon alum Kenny Morrow (1979).
Morrow, a native of Flint MI, was an All-American defenseman and CCHA player of the year in 1979. Member of the 1980 Miracle On Ice gold medal team USA, and won 4 consecutive Stanley Cups with the NY Islanders (1980-83). Ken is currently chief of scouting for the Islanders, and is in town to help raise funds for BG's planned (and long overdue) arena renovation.
