NMU Fans: The Worst in College Hockey

Re: NMU Fans: The Worst in College Hockey

Just follow the tried and true hockey traditions:

1. Bring freshmen to their first hockey game.
2. If its open seating wait in line before doors/gates open.
3. Drink booze before the game & sneak booze in if you can.
4. Have freshman try to bring in live chicken to game.
5. When doors open rush to your favorite spot to stake out your favorite spot close to the ice before rushing back to the restrooms. Corners are a great place to sit for intense checking.
6. Yell and pound on the glass.
7. Waive dollar bills and yell at the refs, complain loudly for every adverse penalty (no matter how blatant).
8. Let visiting players know how much they suck, especially during faceoffs.
9. High five everyone around you as much as possible.

Haha reminds me of the Mullins Center here at UMass

It's kinda funny that live chickens getting snuck into games gets brought up when Miami comes to town

Re: NMU Fans: The Worst in College Hockey

Attractive female hockey fans can not possibly be the worst in college hockey.

*please note the use of the word "fan", therefore excluding the sorostitutes that stood in front of me last game and did nothing but giggle and text people. Is it wrong that I was hoping one of them would be hit by a puck...since they weren't paying attention to the game?

I think they stood right behind me the last time I was at Yost. They kept going out between periods to throw up so that they could drink more. My guess is that they're probably out of functioning brain cells by now.

A Lawson fan actually putting a legible post like that together is impressive. At least you THINK you were at Yost.

You may wear the maize and blue and I the blue and gold, but we are kindred spirits!

And, no, it's not wrong!

Re: NMU Fans: The Worst in College Hockey

The NMU Fan base is a joke. From the students to the community members, who more often than not, DO NOT support the team. Many a nights go by and empty seats plague the arena. Granted times are tough, people are sick and ticket prices are high for non students, but for such a “Strong Hockey Community” I’d expect to see more people in the seats. As for students, it’s a joke how many students attend games. There are just fewer than 10,000 students and they can’t even GIVE AWAY 1,000 tickets to students. THEY ARE FREE. But as we saw at the NMU football game, students love bandwagon jumping. Positive or Negative.

This “Fire Walt Kyle” is a joke. You two clowns make me feel dumber every time I read a post of yours. You have ZERO knowledge of the mechanics and business of hockey from the college level. NMU IS A D-2 SCHOOL. WE ARE NOT MICHIGAN. WE ARE NOT MINNESOTA. STOP DREAMING OF 1991 AND JERKING IT OVER THE 1991 TITLE! I never even heard of Northern Michigan Hockey prior to coming to college here, and I’ve been a supporter/follower of College Hockey my whole life. Stop feeling everything is entitled to you here at NMU. 9/10 people don’t even know this school exists. Look at Mr. Kyle’s credentials. They speak volumes over an amazing coaching/scouting career, and his ability to recruit players who fit this system. NMU cannot draw like Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota. And to be honest, I don’t want players that are going to play one season and leave. I’m happy with the players that come in, give their heart to the program and get an education.

We are four games into the regular season. And if the community is “calling for Walt’s head” you are probably talking to the people who still love Comley, and cheer for a college they were most likely rejected from, much like most Michigan residents. Where were you in 2009 when this team went 16-5-2 and to the Joe? I’d rather be a perennial force in the CCHA year to year, win 20+ games than be a flash in the pan like Ferris State in 2004. But you know why Northern wins 20+ games most seasons? Because they have Walt Kyle, who can recruit players that have talent. Come on, you cant sit here and tell me with a straight face that you would rather have a program like Western, and MAYBE make it to the NCAAs once every 20 years.

Yeah, NMU hasn’t been to the NCAAs since 1999. Ten years. St. Cloud hasn’t won an NCAA playoff game EVER. Univ. of New Hampshire makes it every year and has nothing to show for it. Michigan Tech, winners of numerous national titles struggle to win 10 games per season. Christ, do I even have to mention Merrimack? Sometimes I wonder if this fan base would have been better off with Judy Bailey remaining at NMU and killing off all athletics. Im sure Boot Walt Kyle and Billy Blanks would just cheer for some other Michigan school, one they couldn’t get into. Most likely Lake Superior State.

So, you have followed college hockey your entire life, yet you had never heard of NMU? Hmmmm, sounds like you may have been following college lacrosse.

Nah, the fact that their hockey team has shown signs of life (and less goonery) this season. Owlsy is feelin' his oats (especially towards the maize and Blue newbs) and can't wait to continue the Spartan athletic domination of their in state rival.

Let's be fair. My first 5 years of following college hockey I thought BU was more successful than Wisconsin. Maybe I was confused by the uniforms.

It's a valid point in a round about way... I never really knew about some of the ECAC or CHA schools till coming to NMU...

An uncanny display of psychoanalytical sharpshooting but ...

I wanted to show the degree to which I could push the electronic copyright infringement envelope.

Incidently, this thread CAN be saved. Not by the likes of me but I really like the direction.

I agree with your statement wholeheartedly. On the other hand, his statement was much more blatant and unbalanced. If he followed college hockey his entire life, there is no possible way that you wouldn't know who ANY school was. There are only about 50-60 schools with D-I teams. If you follow the sport, then you would be familiar with all of the schools invovled.

And if you really followed the sport, you'd know there's 58 teams.
