NCAA Hockey 2025- CHA now welcome

[Kepler]

Cornell vs a team in that other team’s state! The horror! An outrage!

- Wodon probably.

Not Adam. Me. Regional hosts are anti-American. But so is the intraconference 1R ban. And so are regionals.

Re-rank, play 1/16, 2/15, ... at campus sites the first two rounds in best of three. Let the chips fall. It's good for attendance and it fucks the media. What's not to love?

 

[Jimjamesak]

NIL is the big one.

I imagine the University itself teetering on the edge of existence is probably a factor.

 

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

When the college hockey coaching positions at the University of Minnesota are no longer destinations you've got a big problem.

We're mid tier for everything now. I wonder how long the women's basketball coach is going to last cause she's due for a better job already.

would you want to live in the rubble of minneapolis, knowing Sharia law is coming?

Can't argue with that.

Evidently David Carle called Coyle and vouched for Larson. Helping himself by getting him out of the NCHC, or sabotaging the Gophers? Stay tuned.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Yeah, evidently Lou Nanne vouched for him as well.

My fav nanne is his grandson, who ran for edina school board in his early 20s with a position to arm teachers. Sadly, he did not win.

Ah, so Minnesota's LSSU.

 

[St. Clown]

Eh, there are a lot of reasons St Cloud is trending down that he couldn’t come close to controlling. I’m in wait and see mode.

Prior to my school being about to fund its, well, school, and cutting degree programs, Larson had SCSU in the Frozen Four championship game. There’s only so much you can do to attract good players when student count continues to plummet, there are questions around which athletic and education programs will get the axe, and you’re literally stuck in St. Cloud.

 

[Kepler]

and you’re literally stuck in St. Cloud.

Oh, I dunno. You guys have trees and lakes and comely blondes, right? That sounds nice.

What, but then you add in the locals, who are very anti-university, very racist, and still have Trump 2020 songs in their yards, mixed in with a few 2028 signs.

10 miles from Cornell in all directions is Tundra Tennessee. That's the way it is with rural college towns.

I will readily admit to having a bit of joy at SCSU’s situation. Not as much as LSSU’s but still.

I can attest to this. When I take the back roads out of Watkins Glen to get back home, it can be ... ummm ... scary...
