"Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

Re: "Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

Notes from Jamie on todays Huskies Drive Time:

- Dirk -"Has all that jet leg rubbed off yet?"
- Not quite, He was up at 3:30 this morning so still adjusting after being overseas doing some recruiting
- We've gotten off to a great start, but we're going into a tough place to play
- We have a young lineup, time to prove we are a consistent hockey team
- We're excited, needed a break after all of the games
- <b>We were not sharp in Madison last year</b>, very injured, they were the best hockey team we played last year
- Team had Sun/Mon off last week, tried to heal up some bumps/bruises, worked on PP & PK
- We made some adjustments specifically for Wisc. series
- Want to improve on us giving up odd man rushes

On lineup:
- Happy with our lineup, no major changes, but there will still be changes
- Anthony Shcooley and Baker are still out with injuries, Dirk said something about Schooley still being injured and will be out for awhile
- Want ice time to be competative and earned by the players
- Genoe will start Friday
- Josh didn't have a good outing against Mankato, Genoe came in and got us the tie

On Wisc.
- Jamie hasn't seen any film on Wisc yet, assistants did alot of film work while Jamie was gone
- They are talented, lost a lot through grad. and NHL signings
- they always do a good job on PP/PK


-Need to make sure we get pucks on net during PP, big ice will change what we do on our PK

Oh really? I didn't notice by the very small goal differential :rolleyes:


** I was really bored, skip down to the starred line if you don't give a ****

As for the dorms, the main 3 building are always pretty full, as for the new apartment building that just got finished, the last I heard, it was still very empty due to the fact that the university can't put students there unless they specifically ask for it, and not many students ask for it because the cost of these new apartments is absolutely ridiculous **goes and looks up figures**

A standard room (1 room, 2 people) in Wadsworth (majority of on-campus students are in this building) with the lowest meal plan, which is unlimited meals per semester, some number of guest meals and some number of on-campus "dining dollars" is a grand total of $4352 for a fall or spring semester

The new apartment building which is a 4 bedroom apartment, each bedroom is a single, and you get 50 meals for the semester, (you can upgradebut this is what's included), 50 isn't bad, that's about 3-4 meals a week, which means you'll obviously have to spend money outside of that. According to the Housing website, it's $4200 for a fall or spring semester, which is less, but you have to figure you'll spend more on food and such outside of that.

So I guess it's not that much more expensive, but it's also the fact that it's a 4 bedroom apartment, and I honestly get along great with the friends I made in the dorms, but I don't think I'd ever want to share a 4 bedroom apartment with some of them.

I'm in a 5 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 kitchen house right now, pretty good size and some of my roommates still drive me crazy

*******

That is all

If you want REALLY cheap housing and don't mind a commute, Hancock is the way to go. Hancock does not do building inspections while Houghton does, so that helps keep prices down.

I had a duplex on Scallon one year with 9 other people, and the landlord just let us each pay $1200 up front for the entire school year's rent.

****, and I thought our rent was cheap, ours is $800 a month for 5 people, and we're 2 blocks from downtown Houghton, not too bad
 
Re: "Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

So that explains the 62-30 drumming of the Timberwolves this weekend. You're going to Madison this weekend right?? ;)

Speaking of which, who is going to be in Houghton this weekend? My budget right now just isn't going to support me going up to Houghton for the GVSU game this year, but I believe Cowboy Eric and a few others will be going up there to take in the game. Its been bit of a tradition to have somebody from the Pep Band to harass Eric, mostly about him putting up the pictures from the games, which he does tend to get lazy about. Whoever wants to do this for me, I'm willing to pay for it, either in Beer or in dinner (for those under 21;)) at the GLI.

Plus, it does have the advantage of cheesing off Dirty because Eric didn't take his picture when we were all up in Grand Forks in 2004.

Something simple like this is what I'm thinking about, but feel free to be creative within the limits of good tastes with it.
Offer still stands.

GVSU at Tech.

Also, how is the weather looking for Saturday up there at Tech?

Way too ****ty to sit outside and watch some boring d2 football game.

Thats why I'm asking members of the band to do it, usually they're required to be there anyways. They might as well get a delayed Free Beer out of it. ;):D

A great week this week. Got to spread over 25 yards of manure and I have about 60 to go. Saving that for next week though. Can't have too much fun at once you know.

Friday! finally! it seems like months since we've had a hockey game. this will be our freshman's first venture into one of the super arenas. hope they keep focused. tonight seems like such a big night.
 
Re: "Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

Tonight's big, but I think we'll learn more about the team Saturday regardless of what happens Friday. If Tech loses tonight, how will they bounce back Saturday, and if Tech wins, will they be satisfied or hungry?

Welcome to the boards! We shall see how things go tonight.

I don't know about you guys, but I won't be paying much attention tonight. Halloween party, and I have a *****in' costume.
 
Re: "Next Year" Begins Now: Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread Part I

I'm really getting a kick out of the USCHO WCHA blog's predictions. Their reasoning that the Badger's will sweep is because Tech hasn't "beat a decent team." I guess that those three wins that Wisconsin are against two perennial decent teams, Holy Cross and Alabama-Huntsville. I'm not expecting Tech to be world beaters, but so far they've taken down equal or better competition.

Buckentine is a bitter Mankato cheerleader. :)

At least Quiz was kind enough to offer us a point if she picked ties. ;)

Quiz might just punch you. :p

I'm assuming you're talking about her column...

If Tech loses tonight, I expect them to keep playing hard on Saturday, but they're not going to be able to pull out a win

If we're going to get points this weekend, it's gonna be tonight
