Look at it on the bright side. The team doesn't have to fly back to Latvia after the GLI.![]()
Instead they get to bus back to Houghton and then drive to St, Clooud, both of which might as well be a flight to Latvia.![]()
P.S. I am now officially a Tech women's basketball fan.![]()
They played awesomely tonight. Seriously. Minus the fact that they almost blew a 20 point lead, but in all seriousness, it was really nice to finally see a team wearing white, gold, and black get a W.
It would be nice to have a hockey team that could lead a game and actually win.![]()
If there is any consolation to the suckiness that is this year's GLI, it's going to be you losing a lot of money on a very dumb bet.Yeah.. That would be pretty nice. I'm considering boycotting Tech's games and just going to all of my brother's mite games this year.
Repost from tLodge:
So... I hate RPI (sorry Ralph)
Anyone recall that bet I made? The one where there's $50 for every goal in the margin of victory the next time Tech played UM... yeah. Thought I'd get away with not having to face it this year but nooooo.

You guys will probably get outshot 40-15 tomorrow and get abused all over the ice and yet win 2-1.
If not for you guys, I'd be sitting home tomorrow.
I will say this: you kept it entertaining.
I fear we're getting too good at entertaining ourselves. It says something about the team on the ice that is supposed to be doing the entertaining.![]()
You guys will probably get outshot 40-15 tomorrow and get abused all over the ice and yet win 2-1. Quite frankly, it will be fantastic.
What's significantly more likely is that we'll trade soft goals until the third (so it'll be 3-3 or 4-4), and then Michigan will score the go-ahead goal with less than 30 seconds left in regulation by out-battling our gutless team in front of their own net.![]()
But thanks for the laugh.

Don't laugh, it's completely possible with this year's Michigan team.
Here, have some evidence:
Michigan loss to BGSU 4-2 shots UM 31- BG 21
Loss to tOSU 5-3 shots UM 45 - *eyes 20
Loss to Notre Dame 2 -0 shots UM 38 - ND 20
and of course
Loss to RPI 4-3 shots UM 46 - RPI 13
And yes, all of those examples are from this season.![]()
Okay, you need to be shot for this statement. I don't care if Tech gets shut out every game, you never say you're a fan of WOMENS basketball
