Stupid, dumb, moronic...take your pick

Re: Stupid, dumb, moronic...take your pick

The Frozen four should be played on Friday and Sunday. No excuses. Womens basketball is a horrible sport to watch on television with the "pure fundamentals" and all. Plus your well into April and I don't care what anybody says, watching hockey on tv when the snow is gone sucks balls. April means baseball pure and simple.

On a sort of related topic, the NCAA is totally missing the boat on Hockey, "the other revenue sport." Imagine what a new contract would do for the sport if the NCAA insisted that the winning bidder showcase the frozen four in primetime on the Friday-Sunday during the final four. It just makes so much sense, I don't get it. How would schools like NDSU, Iowa State, Penn State, URI, Oklahoma etc, etc, like to see there team and schools showcased during the media frenzy that would surround national championship weekend.

The contract is for ALL NCAA Championships...there's not a separate one for hockey.

And hockey is probably 5th on the list of stuff ESPN looks at and says, "Huh. Sweet," behind women's bouncyball, baseball, softball and lacrosse.
WHAT?!?!?! You mean to tell me MORE people watch bouncyball, lax, softball and baseball in this country then hockey? That's unpossible!!!

If you make it Thursday-Saturday you make teams playing in the regional final on Sunday have only 4 days between games. That wouldn't be as big an issue, but the teams can't arrive for the frozen four (or any NCAA Championship) on gameday. They need to arrive at least 1 day, if not a couple days early for media and related things, meaning the teams might only be home for two days.

And it's not like the BBall teams. Hockey players do attend classes!!!!! Leave it the way it is.
 
Re: Stupid, dumb, moronic...take your pick

All four head coaches were pretty clear today that they loved the extra time between games for this reason.

Teams would have had to get to Detroit tonight if the Frozen Four was this weekend. That's not even enough turnaround to make travel arrangements, hotel plans, meal plans, etc. let alone think about playing a hockey game.


And the ice isn't frozen yet!!

More people in this country watch the lint accumulate in their navels than watch college hockey, fortunately for us...

(yes,I knew you were kidding)
