I'll never forgive them for this traitorous action. In fact I'll make snarky remarks forever about it.
Am I correct that if Tech leaving the WCHA was a traitorous act than UMD leaving was also a traitorous act?
I think he was referring to Tech coming back to the WCHA.
Or, it could have something to do with the fact that many Tech fans treat the latest round of conference realignment as the greatest form of treason since Benedict Arnold yet somehow overlook that their program is arguably the biggest traitor program in the history of college hockey.
I'm still not over what they did in the 80's to comment about UMD did in 2011.
I do find it a bit ironic that Michigan Tech fans get so upset about conference realignment when their program not once, but twice torpedoed its conference for what it perceived as greener pastures.
So tell us about the moves that prompted Tech to change conferences twice in three years so that we can see how stupid the comparison is.
It should also be noted that Michigan Tech was one of the catalysts for the breakup of the original WCHA (the WIHL) back in 1958. While Duluth wasn't in the league yet, I'm sure that must have stung as well.
Michigan Tech: Screwing over their conference brothers since 1958.
Michigan Tech is like the Babe Ruth of the Traitor Program Hall of Fame. They were the original traitors and yet have the insane treachery numbers to back up their spot as the founding member. Notre Dame is more like a Hank Aaron. They ultimately surpassed Michigan Tech's raw treachery numbers (although, unlike the baseball analogy, Michigan Tech's and Notre Dame's traitorous exploits could continue to haunt their conference brethren for years to come), but still don't have the cache of Michigan Tech's treachery.
It is a close call though, and i'm not sure if you can really go wrong with either choice.
Maybe the Pearson hiring at Michigan will change the focus of their outrage for awhile.Because I don't really care if a program does what it perceives is in its best interests. I am tired though of some Michigan Tech posters who blame the NCHC for all the world's ills, when their own program is arguably one of the worst offenders of conference treason in the history of the sport. Then it just became sort of fun to roll with it.
Now, there are others, including Biddco, who are still really hurt by Michigan Tech's atrocities, and having a Traitor Program Hall of Fame might be a little therapeutic.
