tMel is great, this is all about not letting the players get too big a head.
This is fantastic.Minnesota and Colgate both have a loss, but Tech is still 3rd in PWR. These games are fun, but we're going to have to get wins against the better programs like Mankato and Anchorage in order to move up.

We have to stop scheduling these games against these Big 10 cupcakes. There's no upside to beating them, and if we lose it can ruin our NCAA chances.
The comedic factor in these posts is awesome.
However, I agree that besides MN....the B1G Mistake sucks. Thanks, Barry.
If Minnesota wants to charter a jet to the Keweenaw I'm sure Mel would allow them a shot at the belt. I don't like playing cupcakes, but Mel likes giving these Big 10 teams a hand up.
Son, be careful what you wish for. Ask the veterans around here. Heck, the MN fans cannot get a suite because "we don't want that opponents' presence magnified in that fashion." /truestory
I wouldn't bother scheduling a team from the Big 10. I think we need to focus on strength of schedule and playing programs that are committed to winning. Mel is old school. He knows the Big 10 is a weak conference and he's willing to put them on the schedule. I think that's a mistake to play down, but that's just me. If you don't want to play in the big leagues there's nothing wrong with DIII. Lots of good kids are playing there.
Speaking of fantasy....MN would crush you, scooter.And Tech is my little sister school. Ask around.
We're playing all the top teams from Minnesota this year. The Twin Cities campus didn't make the cut. I don't know what little sister you're talking about but Michigan likes talking about "little brother" and it ends up not working out so well for them. Just an FYI.
You are too good to be true. Hello fresh meat to devour.![]()
Minnesota is king of the cupcakes. It's cute that you guys are so excited. Good for you! Isn't hockey fun?
Let's see....we know how to design an intersection that is NOT the Yooper Loop...and you're an ENGINEERING SCHOOL! Double fail. You haven't been relevant since you were a squirt in your daddy's shorts...and probably not relevant then either.
Also, you are taking on a fanbase that generally supports you. There is a marriage mixed in there, due to this fandom, believe it or not.
Frankly, you are sinking faster than the MI football team.
C'mon Brent. You act like we work for MDOT or something.
Bet that Civil Engineer went to UMAA.Just to stick it to us.
Little BS is new and obviously doesn't know what's what. At least they have spunk. We'll work on the lippiness. Only took 35 years to get to this point again.
New to this message board is not the same as new to all things Tech. Let's just focus on next weekend. This tune-up weekend was good for Mel to get a look at a few guys and get the lineup set. The Anchorage series will show if we're for real this year.
