Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

Also, Dirk said they'd talk about Reddick but never did.

From Stephen Anderson's twitter last night, a decision on Reddick should come in 2-4 days.

Also, he tweeted Pearson felt we made great strides with the Track A conditioning program this summer.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

Thanks for the summary, mtu_huskies.

Glad to hear about the conditioning program. After the strides they took last year, it would've been easy to cut them a little slack and just send them home with their conditioning plans. Instead, they stayed and worked together.

I would be pretty surprised if Bryce got a sixth year. Gwilliam was an easier case to make; Reddick only had the one medical hardship.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

Great summary. Any chance of more of these type of updates, special interviews?

Ant comments on the new MTU Athletics website? Just a start but surely better then before.

For a University with "Technology" in its name the overhaul was LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue.

I'm not a fan of the background image scrolling with the content. It really makes the page lag when you move around. The general page is a bit overload with big icons to get you to the sport you want, but when you look at the hockey home page I think that format is fine. ANYTHING is better than that 8th grade hack job site we had before.

In unrelated news I found the following story on Josh Robinson post-MTU.

Hockey Huskies Release Second New Jersey Design
HOUGHTON, Mich. — The Michigan Tech hockey team today unveiled the second of three new jerseys for the 2012-13 season.

The gold sweater features a throwback design to a Huskies uniform from the 1970s. The solid gold jersey uses the Huskies script logo and has off-white and black striping on the sleeves and across the bottom of the body.

Tech's gold jersey will be its third jersey used for special occasions such as Winter Carnival.

"This design is a throwback to the 70s, when Tech played in three straight NCAA Championship games," said head coach Mel Pearson, who lettered for the Huskies from 1977-81. "As I said when we released the black jersey, we want to honor the tradition and long-standing history of the Michigan Tech hockey program."

Michigan Tech hockey has now released two of its three jerseys, which all use the modern, NHL-style cut. The third design will be revealed in late July.

I know one thing. The Huskies script logo beats the snot out of the piano dog on anything, anywhere. Not as sure about the desirability of using black blocks for nameplates or off-white for stripes.

Agreed about the black nameblocks, geezer - that looks goofy. I think the off-white stripes look okay, though they probably specified off-white because they'll turn that color anyway. I'm hoping that the jersey isn't in dazzle, because in all other respects I love that jersey.

As for piano dog/****hawk/triforce Husky, that poor thing needs to be shot in the head and put out of its misery. I played around with a sort of robohusky logo a couple years ago, but really, anything is better than what we have. Throw up a contest to the student body, pay the winner $500 or some paltry sum, and see what you get.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

They went pretty traditional with that one, as I expected. No complaints, though when I see it in person I suspect I won't like the black nameplate.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly how the Piano Dog came about when I was a freshman or thereabout. I remember being aggravated with it when it was first chosen.

God, really? Maybe now that Tech has an actual art department, the results will be a little better. :p

Of course, if The Institution picks the finalists, we all know how that will turn out.

agreed, though it was unstable with my older version of safari and some of the links didn't work well for me, firefox worked fine.

If it's unstable in an older version.... I don't think that is the webdev's fault. Upgrade your stuff :)

I like the traditional style here. Still buying the black first so far though :D
