Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business
Notre Dame was the best team they played in 2007 and they took us to 14 freaking overtimes.
If I'm Blasi I spend the next week pulling a Lou Holtz on my team and work on convincing his players Huntsville is actually the 1977 Montreal Canadiens in disguise. I believe unless you believe each and every one of the four potential teams is the best team you've faced all season, you cannot win. Not better than you, because you have to believe you can win, just the best you've faced.

Haven't been able to watch the tape of the game yet, but you have to admit there were some suspicious calls, including the breakaway tackles and Miele getting hammered with a check from behind in the 2nd. Last few weeks we've been getting called with some phantom elbows when our big boys lay a clean open ice hit but the ref thinks its dirty because of how big the hit was. We played a bad game against Michigan (like that 4x1 goal they had in the second where everyone was just in the neutral zone), definitely not what we've expected given our performance since October, but we still had a chance to win that even with the score. There were at least 3 or 4 posts we hit, and so many rebounds sitting in the slot and our boys couldn't get a stick on em to bury it. If Michigan is gonna keep riding Hunwick, they better teach him how to stop kicking rebounds right in front of him. No Mason Cup, oh well, at least we can try to win our first ever or another kind of trophy still. Blasi will have em ready for this weekend.

So your a disgruntled parent....Tell your kid to play better! I have been around Coach Blasi for 15 years, your allegations are moronic, ignorant, and pathetic. Go cry somewhere else idiot.

No suspicious calls or no calls. They let them play. Schilling got away with a major and if you want to look at breakaways, Michigan should of had two penalty shots. We can't be the fan base that bi*ches about officials, you can't control them, so there is no need to worry about it. I know you know the game JD, you got to know better than this. C'mon man don't be that guy, we played like crap it happens.
On to the big dance, a little worrysome with the way we have played recently. Just got to hope that they will be ready with the goal they have in mind. This is what they have been waiting for all year, its time to put up or shut up.

You guys got hosed. You don't need to post it, sounds like sour grapes. I'll take the heat. Hosed plain and simple. They jumped a team 3 seeds for no reason in hopes their precious Ford Field fiasco doesn't have 50,000 empty seats. All I can say is I'm going to be a little po'd if either BSU or MU doesn't win in Fort Wayne. (or even UAH).

Amen, Yale got the shaft too. They deserve better than playing the hottest team in the country. And for that matter Bemidji got hosed having to face Michigan in a relative home game when they should be playing Yale.
Regadless, I bet the boys want another crack at Michigan should they both win. First things first, Got to beat UAH which won't be an easy task.

Maybe I just don't understand, but can someone explain to me how Michigan a. got into our regional, but maybe more importantly how they got the #3 seed? And over Alaska fairbanks.

Count me in: the committee dropped the ball in regards with Michigan/Yale. You just don't do that to your number 1 overall seed. The NC$$ strikes again. But with that said, I'm sure the guys want another go at Michigan, and there's no way they turn in another performance similar to Friday's.
At the same time, don't dismiss Bemidji. We know what they're capable of.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business
It was attendance issues, plain and simple. I think they looked at what could be done with all the 3 seeds and went ahead and did it. Michigan HAD to be a three seed somewhere. They were #12 in the pairwise and along with the overall 9, 10 and 11 seeds that means they had to be seeded 3rd somewhere. To remind you the rules state they can move a team within seeding bands but not to another seed, so a 12 can move to where the 9, 10 or 11 would be otherwise, but not to the 4 seed (overall 13-16) or 2 seed (overall 5-8 seed) band.
The odd thing to me is that for the last few seasons they didn't appear to be taking attendance issues into account when I think they could have made similar moves. It was posted elsewhere that the other regionals are doing OK with their ticket sales and I have no reason to doubt it nor can I verify it, but I know for a fact (and I understand MU fans don't necessarily want to hear it) that Fort Wayne sales were slow, and that is as much the fault of my team as anything. They pimped the ticketmaster site at every home game repeatedly during stoppages this season and I doubt they got a lot of action as poorly as Notre Dame looked, especially in the second half when folks really would have been thinking about our prospects. I know Detroit is perceived as a hole by a lot of people, but the only thing the NCAA can look at is raw numbers, and the fact is Miami people did not turn out too well this weekend, and on Saturday Michigan fans did. Michigan fans also turned out well when we played a "home" game there against them in 2005. To the tune of probably 5000 of the 8000 or so there. In retrospect I shouldn't have been surprised. This is the NC$$ after all.

Go read up on the PWR, that can explain a lot. Teams are locked into a system that ranks every 1-25. Committee doesn't do much. They were ranked #12 which is a 3 seed and got moved to ft. wayne because of attendance and the fact they can drive there. NCAA wanted to avoid as many flights as possible without screwing with integrity. Well they avoided flights, integrity issue? Maybe but out of our hands.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Miami season thread part II: Unfinished Business
It was all attendance. From what I heard there has only been 1,000 tickets sold for Ft. wayne. Now I can tell you this about Miami, I have had tickets reserved through them as well as many others have for some time now. Now I haven't paid for those tickets so they aren't considered "sold" but thats because we didn't know for sure where they were going. I am sure there are A LOT of Miamians who did the same thing to ensure tickets through Miami in the Miami section and going wherever they went. So therefore ticket sales were very low but you will see a lot of Miami people there. And now you will see it sold out most likely.
We can't complain about Michigan in our bracket, we don't even have to play them. RFP said it best, they have to get through Bemidji first and we have to get through UAH first for that even to be a possibility. All we can do is show up, root the boys on take it one game at a time and hope it turns out in the end.
