I was listening to the broadcast including the intermission reports. There was mention somewhere in there of the municipal facility in Utica. And honestly, everything that they said was completely true. A large part of the attendance at Utica is from City Residents who go there for leisure time and to drink alcohol while there. Also, the connection was never made between Utica's attendance and the fact that it's because of a municipal center. In the postgame show the guy with the deep voice did point out that there wasn't a whole lot to do in Utica anymore. And there isn't. My grandparents live in Corn Hill and I personally am afraid to go outside when I visit them.
This is one reason why people fail to take Utica College student fans seriously. For every respectable fan there, there's someone who taints the name of a highly respectable hockey team by embellishing details to make the opposition look biased.
Sure, the color guy may need some work. He was stepping on the play by play guy who I thought was decent. With a little bit more time I think he'll be better on choosing his chances to talk.
But the intermission guys were fine. As a matter of fact, those three guys have done a couple of intermission reports so far and, I can tell you, they are a lot better than anyone else who has done it so far.
As a resident of Verona and an alum at Oswego it's hard for me to route for either team when they play UC. Those guys are the most balanced group yet.
It just angers me that some posters could be so childish. It ruins Utica College's reputation.
