They're loners, so are serial killers. Good thing that the population is small up there....

Thanks. We still have a house in Tapiola. (Hope the Tech fans know where that is.)

Last I checked none of my family are serial killlers. All Finns, but no criminals.

Tapiola would be a great place to hide the bodies! LOL

Serial killers? Like John Norman Collins, who knocked 7 in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area? Or Maybe Brady Hoke or Rich Rodriguez, who killed Michigan Football so badly that their still the Ohio State University's little sister?

I found one online. My guess is that the Cup has been in Ann Arbor more than Houghton though.

If you go to the Jolly Pumpkin website, you'll see there is no location north of Traverse City. Now if you google "Jolly Pumpkin Houghton," you'll find the Old Mission Pub in HOUGHTON LAKE, which serves Jolly Pumpkin brews. It's only 377 miles from the Michigan Tech campus. Just like your sports teams, you've got yourself overrated too.

or you could live in Ann Arbor and get Jolly Pumpkin brews straight from the source since they are brewed at the North Peak Brewery in Dexter. Please talk to me how Ohio State performed in any sport other than football.

...and then after Michigan hires someone other than Pearson to replace Red, all the Michigan fans will hop on message boards stating how Pearson just really wasn't good enough, not what the team needs, wasn't up to the job, can't rebuild a program, etc.
:rolleyes:

Well, Red is retiring. Now we wait to see who the next coach will be.


A little catch up responses to earlier posts:

I know, and it's a shame. I'd like to see MI beat the snot out of the likes of U MN every year, but it's become the place where the best talent of the Ann Arbor national team goes to die. I think they need to find an energetic young coach to turn things around, or they're not going to have their pick of recruits any more. Why would a kid who's been told all his life that he's the best human athlete in the world, want to play in a place where they're losing games to supposedly less deserving players and teams? It's wasted time and talent. If the program was really the pinnacle of greatness as claimed, with the talent they have access to, they'd never lose a single game.

Michigan finished 25-8-5 in the 2015-2016 season, with a conference tourney title and 1 win shy of a frozen four appearance. Not exactly shambles that season. They lost the top line and top defensive pair early after that season. 2016-2017 was going to be a rebuilding year.
Top talent (USNTDP guys) come in and play for a year or two then go pro. You want to recruit the top guys, but you then have to play a guessing game as to how many spots you'll have to recruit for each year, not knowing who will leave early.

It's simple.

Mel wanted Michigan. Michigan didn't want Mel. He moved on.

Tech wanted Mel. Then wanted Mel again. Then wanted Mel a third time. He went.

Is there another part to the first one? That's what we will find out.

The other part to the first one is that there wasn't an open head coaching position at Michigan.

Michigan hockey schedules like their football team- all home games. Scared to come to Houghton. The pep band should have played the chicken dance for them last time. "Leaders and Best". LOL.

Not scared, just not profitable. As much as I hate it (I love to go on away trips to new rinks following my team), Michigan hockey does schedule like football....mostly home games. Money is the reason. Much more revenue to be made at home.
