Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

I think it would be a hilariously awesome slap in the face if UAH made it to the Frozen Four and in the process took out both Miami and Michigan. Of course, as a Michigan fan, I don't want that to happen.

But I still don't agree with all the CCHA haters because UAH wasn't accepted into the conference. Last I checked there were 5 other conferences. Sure, the CCHA makes the most sense considering they'll be down to an odd number of teams and are the best geographic fit for Huntsville. Why can't we make the WCHA the villian. They would have had 11 teams but decided to grab a team from the CCHA rather than take Huntsville.

blah blah.
ok, back to checking the RIT score for me.

I think the CCHA conference makes the most sense for them because they are the ones that are the closest to them. It's why UNO left the CCHA, they're closer out to the WCHA teams. Not saying I hate on the CCHA people for not allowing UAH into the CCHA, cause I understand where they come from.

And I don't think the UAH should be underestimated. When I heard that we were playing them I immediately looked at their schedule and results. And of course, while their conference only has four teams their results don't really say much. However, they never were really demolished by any team throughout the entire season, besides maybe one or two 6-2 wins by Bemidji over them. Most of their games were 2-1, 3-2 kind of games. They were able to get wins over WMU (I belive) and Notre Dame, and while that isn't saying much especially with both of those teams this year. I don't think UAH should be seen as a team that will absolutely get embarassed. Of course they could, maybe, but 100% will, def. not.

RIT hangs on. Wow. Once again this shows that anything can happen. Hopefully Miami doesn't have a let down tomorrow.

UAH lost to WMU twice, but they were 2-1 games where the Broncos were lucky to come out with wins. So said Cullhane to me post-game.

I think Culhane was happy to pick up any wins he did in his farewell tour, because they were far and few between.
 
Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

If UAH has a winning record next year, then we'll probably think about it a little more.

Why does this keep needing to be said? *sigh*

On-ice performance had less than nothing to do with the decision to reject Alabama-Huntsville's application to the CCHA.

If UAH upsets Miami, maybe that will speed up the acceptance process.

She's new to the whole college hockey scene and tends to not think or educate herself about things before posting. Ive tried to inform her to do so but haven't gotten through. She's a loyal fan, but is still learning the ropes of college hockey...It'll come sometime, takes others more time.


You are right though it doesn't. The reason they got rejected was because the CCHA wanted to keep their options open right now. They have their eye on another program hoping they go D I and want to have room for them. UAH will find a home eventually. But they have a pretty tough schedule next year set up already.
 
Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

I mean if they had a better season next year, and at least for the next couple seasons I wouldn't be surprised if we let them in our conference. IMO, i've always kinda thought it would make sense for us, since they are pretty close of a drive (at least to Miami). i mean not super close. But it's closer of a drive for us than it is to Northern Michigan.

So we'll have to see what happens next year.

Yea but the issue isn't us. The issue is Lake St., NMU, ND, Ferris, WMU for who it is a farther drive than UNO....

It's not that much different for Lake State. It would definitely be longer for NMU.

So both #1 seeds today are doing a great job calming my nerves about tomorrow! Come on Wisconsin step it up, I need a good nights sleep ;)

Rhm - Is the CCHA hoping that Penn State will be the 12th team or someone else?

Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

You're right. I probably miss-spoke because I was so mad. I apologize. There were just some comments from some people in the CCHA that I heard when the whole fiasco was going on that made it seem like a hockey team from the South didn't belong in college hockey, and especially their conference.

Well, until they win more than they lose UAH doesn't belong.

They won when it mattered. Period.

Bowling Green, Western, etc. could have done the same thing to your conference. But they didn't.

Get over it.

I have to agree with him. UAH adds nothing to the league. They don't increase the conference footprint, don't add a growing hockey hotbed to the league, don't offer any relatively close attractions for fans, don't have a history of success before their D1 days... ;)
 
Re: Midwest Regional, Miami vs. Alabama-Huntsville, Bemidji State vs. Michigan

I would have to say huntsvilles on ice performance is exactly why they didn't get in a big conference this year. Anybody seen that YouTube video with the "come on son" guy? Haha if you think your on ice futility had nothing to do with you not getting into ccha..... Come on son! Youre lying to yourselves UAH!

I recorded it myself. :) I didn't go to the BSU presser. Thought about it, but was on a work conference call and doing radio spots for today at the time. :(

GFM <-- wanted to ask Serratore wise-*** questions!
