Does anyone else get a blank splash page on http://www.michigantechhuskies.com ? or is it just me, also once in the site, it seems like there's a lot of broken image links....

Good ticket changes, but they still can't get a decent web developer.

They should hire me. I've done web dev for the last 15 years and could work remotely! So I don't have to actually be in MI. :D

I'm graduating next Spring, this summer I'm working as an intern for Jackson National Life Insurance as a web developer...but the university probably couldn't even match my current intern pay...

Maybe Mel could chip in a few bucks.

The problem is adblock is blocking the splash image and they don't provide a text link to bypass it.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done

our website is a disgrace. and this from a tech university. I spent twenty minutes yesterday trying to find out the due date for renewing season tickets. the athletic site has NOTHING but a button for VIP football tickets. Flashy's website is 100x better than anything Tech has. and he works full time. the hockey page gets updates on a regular basis - like once a month at best. and now they have a picture of Mel from 20 years ago.

Honestly, if you want any info about ticketing, it's best to just call the Central Ticket Office.

As for the Pearson photo, I thought he looked a little young.

Any rumors out of Houghton following the alumni reunion? I'd like to hear how the new coaches are doing.
And Pietila is injured?!!!

Looks like you guys lost a very very promising recruit in 2012 Sam Labrecque who is now reported to be going to Clarkson this season (per heisenberg).

Yup, word is he decommitted after Russell resigned/Pearson was hired, kinda surprised he didn't end up at Providence. It certainly is a tough loss since I heard through the grape vine that Fillion will not be eligible so is not attending either. Those losses put together resulted in the signing of Jimmy Davis to join the 2011-12 class of frosh because Labrecque was supposed to be bumped up in the event Fillion couldn't make it academically.

Labrecque shouldn't have been asked to wait a year in the first place. I'd have to wonder if that had something to do with losing him. I just mean that he's the kind of player that you might want to "make" a spot for on a roster.

Well Michigan Tech signed him back in October, before he had his great year at Nanaimo. I'm pretty sure if Russell had not resigned he would have been a 2011 recruit. Fillion was an older player so he was a 2011 or bust kinda guy while Labrecque is younger. I assume after that great year, he probably would have been bumped up. Heisenberg isn't exactly up to date on that data. I would assume the coaching change was the biggest issue for Sam. I wish he had stayed on a path to Michigan Tech but oh well.

I'd been tracking him a bit at the end of the previous season and had been hoping UAA might be looking at him when the commitment to Tech was published and was a bit bummed. He really performed well against older competition. Really well. Studly well.

It seems really odd to me that the program was on the rocks and a new coach comes in with a lot of positive momentum and he decommits. I just have a hard time imagining a player having issue with Pearson unless Pearson gave the impression he wouldn't fit well into his future plans.

Well what positive moment have you actually seen? So far, Mel has gotten a high school senior to commit to playing at Michigan Tech this season...how often does that work well for a kid out of Michigan? I have high hopes for the future, but I would have thought Mel would have pulled in some recruits for the future by now...
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason III: Two Years To Prove It Can Be Done

Maybe during the season he just got second thoughts & wanted to play closer to home, and the coaching change gave him an easy out. We'll never know the details.

As for recruiting, I think we'll start seeing more commitments during the fall months. Also, the type of player that Pearson really wants is going to be looking for a program that can win games, and that's something that he hasn't established yet. The coaches have only been on the recruiting trail for three months, give them time.
