When I checked this morning there were 815 reserved seats left for Friday and 893 for Saturday. As of a few minutes ago there are 696 for Friday and 764 for Saturday.

The Techies haven't exactly been playing against the nation's best, but when you win 10 straight games against anybody, that's impressive. To pseudo-quote Herb Brooks, even the Soviets would lose 1 game in 10 against USA. Congrats, well done, and well deserved.

That is the truth, they deserve a ton of credit for winning 6 straight road games this year among those 10. Not many teams sweep on the road even when not playing the nation's best...

I'm trying to decide just how bored I am, I might have just found something for Tech Hockey Guide to provide the college hockey world. WMPL poll archives.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

remember the Tech video of miked up Mel at a Huskies practice, earlier in the season, where he was skating up to the camera, holding his finger up and saying "Huskies #1"? who the heck knew? I guess he did!

At this point, THG's province should be anything the athletic department can't/won't cover. You've already got recruiting down, so yeah, why not archival stuff?

While we're here, I'm so glad the athletic department (mostly) got its act together in terms of video and social media so that it can capitalize on this streak. It's helping faraway fans feel connected, and it's showing potential recruits what they could get in on.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

January 1978 seems like a possibility for MTU being #1.

After sweeping Minnesota on Jan 20-21, 1978 MTU was 17-7-0
Minnesota was 15-8-1

...and nevermind BU was 15-0-0 at the time, finished the year 30-2-0

The only problem is that doing the archive would require lots of time in front of microfiche at a library. The good news is that there should be a library around here, either ramsey county or hennepin county that would have archives back that far of a local newspaper that should have published the WMPL Poll.

Perhaps we can enlist the Pep Band to cheer you on while you slave over a hot microfiche reader...

Well, three out of four aren't bad.

Preliminary math on the PWR has had Tech as #1 for two weeks.
USCHO and USA Today/USA Hockey both rank Tech as #1.

Buccigross on the other hand:

I don't agree with Bucci putting MN at #2 after they got swept. I would say 1 BU, 2 MTU, 3 UND, 4 MN. But I'm biased as I worry about the target of being #1, fun as it is to see.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2014-2015

Is it 2014 or 1976? Michigan, Boston College and Notre Dame are all squarely mediocre and Michigan Tech is 10-0 and ranked number 1.

Congrats! Couldn't happen to a better team with the greatest fans. Tech and UAA have certainly had their struggles ... it gives me hope! Isn't the new WCHA great?!
