Re: Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season
When I was in school there I knew all of the guys fairly decently but now I don't even go to many games. I still watch them on TV all of the time (or stream them in the rare occurence that they are not on regular TV) but no longer do I hang out with them. I'm too old for that now anyway. Heck, I was on the border even before. My favorite player that I knew of all time is Eric Nystrom. I started talking to him at The Touchdown Cafe (the current Blue Leprechaun) and he actually found 2 chairs and sat them right in the middle of the floor so that we ould talk for what seemed like 20-30 minutes. Al Montoya was cool too, actually everyone was for the most part. I still came around afte I graduated and before I moved and met Kevin Porter, who as it turns out is cousins with someone who I used to play baseball with when I was younger. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Tim Cook, that kid was awaesome. He is absolutely hilarious and very intelligent. Wow, this post is bringing back all sorts of memories. Jason Dest, Matt Hunwick, TJ Hensick, Matt Mayhew, Milan Gajic, Brandon Rogers, Mike Brown, Andrew Ebbet, Andy Burns, Reily Olson, etc. I could literally name them all. A few years later I met Chris Summers and he was cool. Too my astonishment I ran into Jack Johnson a few years ago in The Jug and he was really cool too. **** you alfa, now you've got me thinking about Michigan Hockey and the season just ended for us. There was nothing better than having a beer with the guys after the game talking about it.
I'm still not sure if I'll do Dekers yet, I do typically go when they have watch parties for games that are not on regular TV and can't be found online. For instance, I went to Revel & Roll to watch the BU game with them earlier this season. It's unfortunate that I get into the games too much to really be social during the games. And then if they lose (especially in heart-breaking fashion as was that game) I just sneak out right away and sulk back to my car.
On the CoY facebook page I was discussing with a few people how this past season was the most enjoyable since 2010 when Hunwick emerged. Not many current members of CoY said much because they were still in grade school then but some of the "more mature" people like us agreed that this past season was fun, not perfect but fun.
I'm never, ever going to ask a player that. Even though we could have yesterday.
Still, some of the implications that would have lead Red coming back suggest that Motte and Compher were key parts of that return. IF that is true, it would be pretty huge.
(and FWIW, Kyle Conner is a nice kid. Look forward to talking with him some more Friday evening)
(p.s.s. being a member of the Dekers is pretty nice. Lets you meet some really good kids if you want to. I'm a BIG fan of Sam Piazza- but mostly because of his degree and GPA)
