To the first part of this:
Title IX
Easiest way to save money on scholarships and infrastructural costs? Cut the football team.

Tech did this in 2003. It riled up the football alumni enough that they came up with the money to fund it themselves. The program is now entirely funded by the Alumni Association without any assistance from Tech.

One "do you mind awfully if we use your stadium?" to the University of Michigan later, and Tech football was back on the map.

I wish the alumni wouldn't have wasted their money on football, and invested it in the hockey team instead.

Haha. That is great. I still like my idea from a few seasons ago: NMU and Tech move to the CHA, save the league, and both compete for an autobid. Plus we get to play more than 3 times a season.

Only if lake state comes too!

Except that part of the UP has a Laker infestation... ;)

I agree though, it would be neat to have some kind of advertisement somewhere about this.

Something else to try is discount in advance ticket sales. If you buy your ticket Monday through Thursday...make it a few dollars cheaper.

Defiently worth a try.

Ummmm.... Ahhhhhmmmm.... Somebody else had to agree to swap home and away dates that season as well to pull off the Bash at the Big House. And then holy moses, after all that, MTU was pretty darn good that year and even hosted North Dakota in the playoffs that year.

Sometimes a big move has to be made to get attention. How riled up would the MTU Hockey fan base be if it was announce that due to lack of funds, MTU would no longer be hosting the GLI?? I'm pretty sure something like that would get a lot of attention, and could possibly work out a solution much similar to what MTU football got.

After this year's performance, most would probably be relieved.

An old but great skit to entertain the thread.

Re: Michigan Tech Season Thread Part V: We Were Dead On Arrival

Heads up, we have a new recruit:

Tyler Gubb, of the BCHL's Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Not the greatest stats, but not terrible. Looks like a 3rd/4th liner to me.

I still think its a weird name for a hockey team, especially in a canadian league. Maybe if it was a team from Africa or something It would make more sense to me.

On that note, do they even have hockey in Africa? Maybe we should try recruiting there next. :D

Yes.
